The Best Time to Join a CEO Peer Group

“Having a group of people to come to who understand what it’s like to run a small business and manage a life outside of work. It’s such a breath of fresh air to be able to speak openly about triumphs, failures, and the constant issues and worries without fear of judgment.”

9,000 CEOs.

Over the last 25 years, I believe I have met, spoken with, texted, or emailed approximately 9,000 CEOs. More than 1300 of them joined VACEOs and have participated in a peer roundtable or forum.

Not once—ever—has a member said, “Boy, I sure am glad I waited to join you!”

However, many times I have heard a CEO say, I really wish I had done this sooner.”

So, what’s the best time for you to join a roundtable? The short answer: Now.

Of course, you need to be determined to commit to your roundtable peers with your presence at every meeting, and with your full-on participation at those meetings.

Don’t have time, you say? You never will. No one has time.
CEOs who join a peer group grow their businesses faster, become better leaders, and have more time for family – and for life beyond work.
