- Mentoring and being mentored – giving and gaining feedback on key areas of practice growth
- Learning! Learning! Learning!
- Expanding your personal network and centers of influence

As you consider joining us, it is also important to know what we are NOT: We are not a lead share group and our purpose is not to sell to each other. While business opportunities may be shared over time and you might choose to enter business transactions with other members, those are secondary or tertiary outcomes. Those types of groups are great and have their purpose…simply not here.
The primary goal of PowerUp Your Practice is to help develop YOU, the small business owner, to be the best you can be in your chosen field! No excuses. Wherever you are today, you can be stronger tomorrow.
