Besides the general community, TCR has a marketing and web expert, Enya Spicer, available to give feedback on website stuff. She is a great resource! Here are some of the other benefits I have taken advantage of: (1) Tax advice about a specific client situation (2) Advice about how to deal with clients in specific situations (3) Solid examples of other firms’ marketing plans (4) Multiple examples of other firms’ packages (5) Templates that I can use as reference and modify to use myself (6) Group discussions about soft skills (7) Accountability partners (8) Small group discussions where I could bring any problem or question and I can learn from the problems other folks bring up (9) Sessions pretty much every week and video recordings to watch later (10) A community, so I do not feel alone in running my business Now that I have all this, I can’t imagine going back to running my firm on my own without this kind of support.

I joined because having participated in the Tax Retreat I have really grown to value the importance of community. I love the variety of topics and the back and forth from members.

I believe in the power of community. TCR is less “sales-y” and more let’s help each other and connect which is something I value.
