The news is filled with reports of breaches and financial loss. But there are many ways you can increase your defenses. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to put them in place.

The Board helped me with accountability...
Prioritizing and focusing my time where I am really working on the business
Boards are very good at having a broad swath of industries and experience that people bring to the table
Whatever your business is, you always have to be bringing new ideas to the the table, new products, new marketing
My Board members were the only ones that were brutally honest with me about the changes I needed to make; it was the truth I needed to hear

It's great to now have a group of individuals who can challenge me and help me avoid making the same mistakes they did
My Personal stress level today compared to prior to TAB has been reduced by 70%
