Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Deborah Laurel, on air from August 4th
A Benefit for Small Business Owners- Peer Learning Groups. It’s lonely at the top. I know because I have a small business. Small business owners face a steep learning curve. For many, it may be the very first time they have run a business or supervised employees. If they have the time, resources and the access, they can take advantage of classes. But the need for learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. On a daily basis, small business owners face complex new challenges that they need to address- and they may be at a loss to know what to do.
It is also very isolating at the top. There may be a kitchen cabinet of close associates who can recommend policies and procedures, but the owner has to ultimately make the decisions. Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a group of other non-competitive small business owners with whom to discuss issues, sound out options, and search out solutions? A support group where the members can speak openly and learn together? It would have to be a group that required a brief time commitment and met no more than every other month. It would be helpful if that group followed a structured process with a focus on a timely issue. In other words, if it offered a just-in-time microlearning option to support small business owners as they navigate unknown waters. The Peer Learning Institute has developed a Peer Learning Group program that is entirely self-directed. No facilitator is required. It targets a specific management topic.
There are two 90- minute sessions a month apart. In the intervening month, the members support each other as they put what they learned into practice. They then debrief in the next session, sharing their experience. If they like, they can continue with another topic. Bridge the isolation, make it less lonely to be a small business owner. Meet with peers in your industry, share and learn from each other, create a supportive community, and become better at managing your business.

Building your business with Sara Troy and her guest Scott Schindler, on air from July 28th
Scott Schindler is a business and sports leader proudly from Sawtell, New South Wales, Australia. As the CEO of ReNet, he was recognized as a leading Aussie business identity, and keen surfer who has won multiple Surfing Titles. An overview of Scott’s life shows an enviable ability to achieve success in anything he pursues. Combining all the techniques in surfing and business shows him how to navigate any journey in his life.
At its core, Scott’s career is a story of creativity, hard work, and a love of Australian life. As CEO of ReNet, Scott has presided over the growth of a startup business that began in 2000 with just 1 single property listing advertised. On Scotts’ retirement in 2017 ReNet managed 900,000+ properties and $1.125 Trillion Dollars ($1,125,771,059,045) in real estate across Australia and New Zealand by 5,000+ real estate offices and some 11,000+ real estate salespeople.
In complement to his role as CEO, Scott is also a highly sought-after public speaker, trainer, and thought leader within Australia, and around the world. A business mentor and sales trainer that can back up advice with proven results in his own life, Scott credit his ‘quintessentially Australian’ identity as a born optimist, and clear-cut straight talker, as key to his success in this arena.
Before this present chapter of his life, Scott acquired his business and sales trade during 10 years in the insurance industry in the 90’s. Other organisations Scott is actively involved in are the Sawtell Boardriders, Sawtell Business Chamber, Surfing NSW, and Fire + Rescue New South Wales. The roles vary but Scott’s devotion to community is a constant, and so too an unending love of business and surfing that has carved out many, many adventures.
Alongside having represented and won for Australia at the World Surfing Titles, Scott also holds multiple surfing championships at all levels of amateur surfing. With an enduring belief that success in business and sport require dedication to the same qualities, Scott is also very proud of his work as a coach and trainer of WQS surfers, and Aussie surfers in junior development.
When away from his work or sporting commitments, Scott spends time with his family, friends, and is a proud supporter and sponsor of local sporting groups such as Sawtell Surf Life Saving, and Sawtell Scorpions FC.
