Question
Our company has grown substantially in the past 5 years and we believe having advisors we can meet with regularly will help us become better managers and business people. What characteristics do you look for in a business advisor and what's the best way to choose?
Answer
Much of it starts with knowing your own business. You want a diverse set of advisors. Some have experience, some have fresh ideas, advice needs to come from practical and impractical sources that all offer a strategic value in making decisions and directing the business.
