What initially led you to join?
We were in the process of succeeding our parents as owners of our company and wanted to grow in both competence and confidence. Joining a Study Group felt like the right next step—to learn from others who had already walked the path we were about to take.
What have you gained from being part of your group?
Relationships—and insights that have completely changed how we run our business. We’ve learned which metrics matter most and how to move them, plus gained ideas we could implement immediately and over the long term. From products to programs, logistics to logos, marketing to management—I can’t imagine how we’d operate without the ideas and perspective we’ve gained from our Study Group.
Can you share a specific story or moment where your group made a real impact?
A fellow member once noticed during a review that our premium margin was out of line with others in the group. He emailed me about it, and we made a change. That one simple tweak gained us over $100,000 a year! It was such a clear example of how valuable this network can be when everyone’s looking out for each other.
What would you tell someone who’s considering joining a Study Group?
Just do it. I’ve never spoken to anyone who’s regretted joining—and I talk with a lot of people about it. The only regret is not joining sooner.
Is there a short quote or testimonial you’d share publicly?
“If you join a Study Group and don’t get an ROI, you’re doing it wrong!”
