“ I was lost and now I can see. As small business owners, we struggle to become proficient at everything required to run a business – finance, human resource management, client management, administration, sales and more. We get so busy that it is easy to lose sight of what is important. TAB has helped me to stay focused. Through the coaching sessions and monthly meetings, I now have a process for vetting my plans and a group of peers that hold me accountable.”

Ron Mondor, M.Sc., President, Zantek Information Technology Inc., Winnipeg, Manitoba

TAB Board Member since April 2005

 “ Being part of a TAB board has enabled me to see new opportunities to grow my business and become more productive through better investment of my time and capital. Also my TAB Coach has helped me to spend more time working ON my business rather than working IN my business.”

Jason Dubois, President, Len Dubois Trucking Inc., Winnipeg, Manitoba

TAB Board Member since November 2004

 “ TAB has provided me with an excellent forum to voice my concerns about my business problems with open honest communication and feedback on my problems.  TAB allows me to think about growing my business and focus on strategic planning that is normally forgotten about in the day-to-day fires of owning a business.  My TAB Coach is an excellent source of knowledge in many aspects of my business and has many great ideas to help improve my business.  I value his opinion and the coaching sessions keep me focused on improving my business and me as a person.”

 “ Since I’ve joined TAB I’ve found I’m challenged and excited about my business again. Through the expertise of my TAB Board I have gained a better understanding of my company’s numbers and really enjoy watching them grow each month. I find a lot of value having a peer group to go to for advice and knowing I’m not alone. I’m very involved in my industry association and find the insight from the association combined with my TAB Board to be very valuable in taking my business to the next level.”

Ed Dwyer, President, C&T Rentals & Sales Ltd., Winnipeg, Manitoba

TAB Board Member since July 2006

“ The TAB Board has provided us with a venue to step outside the everyday workings of the dealership and consider the basic fundamentals of business. It has helped us to more clearly see the necessity of establishing goals, measuring against benchmarks and generally taking your entire business to the next level. The experience and strength of each board member is brought to each meeting and offers an excellent resource to resolve difficult problems and situations that occur in every day business. Change never comes easy, but knowing that you need to make a change and having someone to encourage you to get there is invaluable.”
