It's an exciting concept in learning and business development.

Each E-Circle will have a group leader, who will be an expert in the nuances of running a small or medium sized business and will facilitate each E-Circle team. Each group leader will have training in helping to run or have worked hand in hand with the owner(s) of a small/medium sized business.

The leader will guide the E-circle team along and get ideas flowing, challenges discussed and worked on and commitments and accountability in place.

In fact, your assigned E-Circle team leaders understand the unique challenges and rewards of being your own boss.
