Last week I made the decision to open up The Peer Advantage by Bula Network to SMB owners without any financial cost to members. I also decided to open it up globally to English speaking SMB owners. Those major changes were made due to the current coronavirus pandemic. I want to be a valuable resource for SMB owners.
So let’s talk about leveraging the power of others especially during a time like this.
Something almost magical happens when people help each other. We’re seeing it worldwide right now. Communities, towns, cities and entire countries are coming together. Some in ways like never before. Prompted by an over-arching need that has dwarfed other concerns.
But it has sparked other concerns. Especially for small business owners.
Pain. Fear. Anxiety. Uncertainty.
I know you’re afraid. We all are. Because of all this uncertainty.
How long is this going to last?
Will I be able to hang on until things return to normal?
What do I need to be doing today to protect myself, my business, my employees…and I’m just talking about protection from this virus?
Decades ago I realized that business building could be summed up in 3 activities that I eventually dubbed, The Trifecta of Business Building.

I know that you’re very worried about the first two because revenues are a top priority right now. This is a cash flow crisis for just about every business.
Permit me to flip this order upside down given the present distress. And I’ll tell you why.
Your mental health is THE most important thing right now. Keeping your wits sharp and your emotions properly under control so you can make the best decisions possible – that’s what will impact the other two. So I’m urging you to avoid not going crazy in the process of caring for your business. And I want to help.
So I’m doing two things…with the biggest thing being completely FREE.
Let me first address small business owners. You’re a major priority for me because you’re my people. This isn’t based on a dollar amount or an employee headcount. It’s mostly based on how close you are – as a business owner and operator – to the work. Small business owners are close to the work, to employees and customers. So I’m putting in the work to serve you in small peer advisory groups of no more than 8 with me personally serving to facilitate each group. You can find all the details at ThePeerAdvantage.com.
Click that APPLY NOW button and complete the short Google form. Once you do that I’ll call you on the phone. We’ll visit about this opportunity and decide how we’ll move forward.
I plan to start meetings as quickly as possible so I urge you to go apply right now.
Here’s a recap of the important details:
• We’ll meet weekly instead of twice a month as originally planned. For now, I’m planning on these being 1 hour each week, but honestly, I’m going to leave it to each group to decide with a maximum time being 2 hours.
• There’s no cost whatsoever during this crisis. Zero investment. Zero obligation for any future investment. This is completely free.
• Members will be required to make a commitment to the group to be present, to share their insights, to share their experience and expertise, to help each other and to be helped.
• When the crisis is over you’ll be able to decide what you’d like to do moving forward. I have zero expectations of members once this crisis is over. My only objective is to help as many small business owners get through this as successfully as possible. I believe our great advantage is one another – this trul...
