Even for small businesses, setting up an advisory board can give you a significant advantage over competitors that are relying solely on internal talent. An experienced and well-connected board of advisors can help your business grow and prosper in ways you've never imagined.

Serial entrepreneur and business growth coach Eric Graham recently published and in-depth article where he shares the benefits, advantages, and pitfalls of creating your own board.

One common pitfall Eric cautions against is appointing friends and family to your advisory board.
