Imagine how much more successful your business would be if 20 of the region's leading entrepreneurs gave up their time freely to help you to drive it forward.

Imagine how much easier and quicker it would be to solve problems and capitalise on opportunities if you could tap into the experience and expertise of over 3000 other business leaders and professionals across the UK.

And imagine how much more profitable your business would be if you were supported in all of this by some of the world's leading business thinkers and writers.

Well, now at last you can do all of this and much, much more.

Let me explain.

As members of the Added Value Network we run a completely new type of executive forum for business leaders. Called the Business Builder Forum ('BBF') it makes it possible for you to:

• Meet and network with many of the region's most successful entrepreneurs
• Learn their success secrets - and use them to make your business more successful
• Discover practical solutions to business problems
• Build up an encyclopaedia of practical business growth tools and resources, and
• Create an action plan for building your business profitably

Feedback on the BBF so far has included:

"Congratulations - this is exactly what business owners need"
"Great to get the time to think about my business"
"Inspirational - I've taken a lot of notes and will implement them"
"I am impressed"

It's important to stress that the BBF is a self-help group for forward thinking business leaders. So, rather than bringing in expensive outside business gurus, the BBF makes the most of the best consultants in the world for your business.... YOU, and other business leaders just like you.

People like you and me who really understand what business is about. People like you and me who have faced and overcome every challenge in the book. People like you and me who get results and make things happen.

And, most importantly, people who are willing to get together for two hours every month to share ideas and insights to help each other become even more successful. (Don't worry, though, you'll never have to do anything uncomfortable like making a speech - since that's not how the forum works).

Facilitated by our team of business coaches, who use their experience and insights to kick-start proceedings, each BBF workshops will address the issues that you tell us are most important to the success of your business.

And if you ever need more help you'll be able to tap into the experience and expertise of thousands of other members in our sister forums across the UK Members that already include, for example, former UK Entrepreneur Of The Year Steve Pipe - who's business was named by Cranfield Business School in February 2001 as one of the hundred most visionary organisations in the UK - and who's book 101 ways to make more profits is on sale in 14 languages across the world.

Our Business Builder Forums take place at Cranfield University and if you would like a free invitation then please email, fax or phone and give us your contact details. Click here to find out more details and when the next forums are.
