Building Beyond the Foundation: Finding Your Personal Advisory Board

As you manage your business, it's common to feel overwhelmed by the myriad of details, deadlines, and tasks that seem to require immediate attention. You may find yourself questioning, "What if I make the wrong decision?" or "I thought I had everything under control." This sense of isolation and uncertainty can be exhausting, affecting your sleep and overall well-being.

Many women in business experience these challenges at some point. However, there is a solution that can ease this burden. We are inherently social beings, so having a network of support is crucial. To elevate your success and gain guidance, consider assembling your Personal Advisory Board.

What is a Personal Advisory Board?

A Personal Advisory Board is a group of selected advisors, each offering unique perspectives and expertise. This board acts as a source of commitment and advocacy, helping you stay focused on your goals while providing essential support.

From my own experience, I understand the value of such a network. When I relocated from Philadelphia to Palm Beach, Florida, in 2017, I faced the challenge of starting a new Private Banking office without knowing anyone in the area. I had to build my network from scratch. Despite the initial difficulty, I recognized the necessity of forming connections and finding allies to support the growth of my business.

I engaged with like-minded individuals through LinkedIn and other social media platforms, attended events, and networked with business owners and non-profit directors. By building these relationships, I was able to establish my own Personal Advisory Board. This network has profoundly impacted both my professional and personal development. Their feedback and guidance were invaluable as I navigated an unfamiliar market.

Selecting your Personal Advisory Board should be tailored to your specific needs. Seek out positive individuals who genuinely want to see you succeed and will offer encouragement. As professional women, having a supportive network is essential for navigating both personal and career challenges. Look for ambitious individuals who are committed to helping others achieve their potential and fulfill their purpose.

Even if you're not starting from scratch, you likely know women who would be eager to support you, share ideas, and provide feedback.

Reflecting on my journey, I realize that building my Personal Advisory Board was not just about achieving success but about creating a nurturing and supportive community where everyone can thrive.

To any woman looking to expand beyond the basics, I advise you to recognize the value of building your network. Approach this process with intention, compassion, and authenticity, and strive to connect on both a professional and personal level.

Ultimately, your Personal Advisory Board will be instrumental in supporting, motivating, and helping you achieve goals you once thought unattainable.
