My TAB Board has helped me to focus on the longer term strategic issues that are required for future business growth while the perspectives of the other members have shown me unique and creative approaches to making my business more profitable today.
Alan Clavette, Managing Partner, Clavette Josselyn & Co LLC, Newtown


With Larry Gardner and my TAB Board, I have a group made up of business owners who not only listen to and offer guidance on the issues I face, but who face the same issues themselves day in, day out. We may all run different kinds of businesses, but the issues we face are very much the same. My business was successful before I joined TAB, but thanks to TAB, it will be even more successful in the future.
Liz Reisman, Director & Owner, Creative Music Center, Monroe


At first I was reluctant to join TAB. After all, if I have been running a successful business for 16 years I must already know everything, right? Wrong! Making the decision to invest in Larry Gardner and the TAB Board is one of the best business decisions that I have ever made. Since becoming a member I have learned how to, not only, be far more successful in my business, but also how to have more time for my family and personal life. I highly recommend Larry Gardner and TAB.

TAB has provided me with many great things to help my business but what comes to mind most is one simple word—Accountability. There were many things that I knew I should be doing, and I even had the skills to make some of them happen myself. But with no one to answer to, they would get lost in the shuffle of the day. My TAB Board and monthly coaching provided me with the accountability and the motivation to complete these important tasks and goals. And the business is better off because of it.

The business education and coaching component of the TAB program has led us to identify our goals, and the critical issues that we need to address, both now and in the future. Larry is our facilitator, and his advice and guidance is helping us to avoid becoming certain victims of our own success.
Joe Shapiro, Partner, Abbott & Shapiro, LLC, Shelton, CT


Working with Larry and my TAB Board has helped me to look at my business from a new perspective outside of the daily routine. I'm making plans and decisions that will help me to reach goals that I thought were too far in the future to deal with now. Having other successful entrepreneurs to rely on for candid advice and counsel has given me the confidence to move forward with those plans. I also enjoy sharing my business experience with my fellow board members who I also consider to be my friends.
