Entrepreneurs“I joined ELC Roundtable about 3 months ago. At the second meeting I attended, a relationship started with a fellow member. We decided to consolidate some of our services for web administration and IT. That decision resulted in a $25,000 savings for my business. I haven’t actively sought to do business with other members of the group. However, I know we will end up working together because of the trust that is developing in many of my ELC relationships. From the beginning I joined this group because I needed a mentor. Having the members available to help me is a huge benefit for a small business owner.” |
Leaders“My company is a multi-national financial services company. In today’s economy, it’s not uncommon for me to work with different sales representatives and support people on a weekly basis – the turn over in my industry is very high. Being exposed to weekly mentoring and meetings with subjects like integrity, loyalty, leading with character, and priority and goal setting keeps me focused on my career path, not on training new employees. My personal life is more enjoyable, as well. I run each Saturday with a group of ELC members and have formed relationships beyond those I have professionally. My challenge to you: find this kind of value with any other business group.” |
CEOs“My company is in telecommunications. As the CEO my employees look to me for setting the standard. Culture, ethics, integrity, and incorporating God in our business decisions are all things that were hard to implement. ELC Roundtable has enabled me to develop a peer-to-peer network with other CEOs and leaders. The relationships with other members enable me to have an unbiased sounding board as I’ve made the hard decisions. I was taught a business couldn’t be wholesome and profitable. That’s simply not true. That’s why ELC is important in my business and personal life. I value the association of like minded people helping each other succeed.” |
