But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Joining a peer group has myriad benefits, including:
- Shared knowledge and experience: Learn from others who have faced similar challenges and experiences. You gain valuable insights and advice from people who have been through similar situations, and this can help you make better decisions for your business.
- Accountability: Stay accountable for your goals and objectives. When you share your plans and progress with others, you are more likely to follow through on them.
- Networking: An opportunity to meet and connect with other business owners. This can lead to new business opportunities, partnerships, and collaborations.
- Emotional support: Running a business can be challenging and stressful. Being part of a peer group can provide emotional support and a sounding board for your ideas and concerns.
- Personal growth: Being part of a peer group can help you develop new skills and knowledge. You can learn from others' experiences and expertise, and this can help you grow personally and professionally.
Overall, joining a business owner peer group can provide a supportive and collaborative environment that can help you grow and succeed in your business.

FAQ
What is a peer group?
A professionally built and led group, made up of 10-14 members, which meets monthly to help each other take their business to the next level.
The peer group will provide you with an experienced group of advisors - and a seasoned facilitator - who can offer you advice, feedback, and critical thinking around the challenges you all share in common.
What is unique about an Allied Executives peer group?
We are a MN company, with MN members. Each facilitator is a former Allied Member, business owner, and works directly for our firm. This allows us to focus on our members and ensure that everything we do and offer is with them in mind. We have the flexibility, size, and culture that allows for our members to always be in the right group for them and receiving the maximum benefit.
Would I make a good member?
You will benefit exponentially from involvement if you are a learner, want to grow yourself and your business, are interested in doing so more effectively and efficiently, and will seek to provide as much value to the other members of your group as you receive.
Beyond these requirements, those who stay totally involved in the meetings, are open-minded, and communicate well with others stand to create the best possible future for themselves and their firm.
Beyond these characteristics, we best serve business leaders from companies ranging $1M to $500M in revenue, from all industries and businesses headquartered in MN, that are seeking to grow and improve.
What benefits can I expect?
The separation and space of a peer group provides each CEO or business owner the opportunity to step back and view their challenges and opportunities from a different perspective. The benefits are wide and varied. Many benefits can be very specific ROI cases depending on the challenge or opportunity.
As a member, you will be exposed to a greater variety of resources, strategies, and advice not available to you in any other forum.
What is the structure of a peer group meeting?
Each peer group meeting meets once a month for a half day, on the same date and time each month (i.e., 3rd Thursday, 9 AM). It is the facilitator’s role to ensure each meeting remains on target, on time, and on point. Each meeting follows a specific agenda and format to ensure each member is heard from and has an opportunity to receive feedback from the group. Members within a group are non-competitive.
What is the Investment?
Our investment schedule is based on your firm’s last full fiscal year’s revenue. Our Membership range is from $650-$1,050/per month. This monthly investment is all-inclusive (peer group, all events, 1:1 time, and online forum access).

I am a corporate marketing executive turn entrepreneur; with 30+ years of business leadership in companies ranging in size from $15M to $5B across various industries. I was fortunate to join my Allied Executives peer group over 6 years ago after joining Creatis as President/CEO and minority owner in 2014. As I expect you know, it’s lonely running a company of any size and my peer group was my safe place to get ideas, solve problems, vent frustrations, get energized and find comfort in knowing that I was not alone.
Following the purchase of Creatis in early 2021 by a national firm, I am thrilled to be returning to business coaching & consulting practice where I strive to help other business leaders Go with Grace during professional and personal transitions to the next new thing. I am especially excited to now have the capacity to be an Allied Executives Peer Group Director which I have been aspiring to do for some time.
Being part of a strong community of business leaders is a must! Won’t you join us?
