Operations
Advisory Meetings
Tuning up means gathering expertise from others. Schedule time with advisors to get their input on any aspects of the business you are struggling with or areas where you would like to see additional improvement. Remember advisors are often volunteering time so respect their time and you can always offer free product or services if applicable or at minimum offer lunch.

Do First
You should complete the following tasks before proceeding to the current one.
Advisors
Advisors are needed to give us an outside perspective on our business and our thinking. You'll find people who will provide advice and counsel, but you may want to select about three experts who are willing to meet with you once per quarter over coffee or lunch.Select advisors who aren't just friends or family. You need pointed, realistic, direct and experienced professionals who will make introductions, open doors, counter your thinking and provide support. You may want to select from a variety of industries and sectors that are related to what you do, but not exactly what you do.Once you grow larger and become more formalized, a board of directors might be something you establish. Until then, a less formal agreement is fine where you compensate your advisors with meals, travel, free product or services if applicable.
