Focus Group for new entrepreneurial TPA's

[chuTzPA]

This is just a rough idea.

Are there other tpa’s that have gone out on their own in the past couple years, are up and running, and that are interested in setting up some kind of confidential group to exchange ideas on how to increase business and run an efficient practice? Ideally this would be just a handful of participants, strictly from different locations so we don’t compete, and still new to running a business. I’d be interested in sharing experiences, initiatives, and learning from each other so that we can all succeed. This would not be an anonymous group and I am fully open to ideas on what this could or should be. While I believe there are oldtimers who have quite a lot to offer, or who are looking to turn around their business in a changing economy, I am specifically interested in recent newcomers. I will disclose upfront that, one year into this, I am currently at a place professionally where I have more to learn than to offer in terms of growing business. Feel free to send me a message directly if interested, along with your location.
