4 Tips to Find or Start a Mastermind Group
Hello Everyone:
Received so much feedback from my readers on how to join or find the right mastermind group that I wanted to write a follow up blog post. Thank you for your questions. I appreciate all your feedback and support.
How does one find the right mastermind group? Here is more information to guide you in making this big step that will help grow your business. I realized there are many people that have already participated in mastermind groups and may not have had such a great experience. While there are those who are trying to find a group that will have fair balance and create great alliances. Many are already in successful mastermind groups and reaping the rewards. Being in a mastermind group is like being in a collective- the sharing of information, knowledge, experiences and taking action. This will grow your business exponentially. All members are supportive and hold each other accountable for their actions.
Here are the four things to look for when shopping for a mastermind group. You can also use these principals to start your own mastermind group.
1) All parties involved must have a vested interest in each members growth and development. If people are joining just to get information for themselves and not reciprocating then this defeats the purpose of a mastermind group.
2) Same level group members. Do not mean to be so selective, but here is the reason why. If there are 6 members in a mastermind group. One is an expert with 10 years in business and the other five members comprise of experiences ranging from 0- 2 years. Yes, all the members from 0-2 years benefit greatly from input and feedback coming from the 10 year veteran. What benefits is the 10 year veteran getting out of being in this group? After a while they feel like they are not getting a return with time and energy invested and they leave. Be selective- Have a good balance with the level of expertise in your group so together everyone learns and benefits from one another.
3) Diversity is key! The purpose of a mastermind mind group is to have a group of like minded individuals with the same mission to succeed and their grow their business. Participants should not be competitors. With Business Networking (BNI) group each member is from a different specialty and they are not in competiiton with one another.The same should go for your group. For example- there are the 6 members in one mastermind group; an internet marketer, business coach, speaker, massage therapist, chiropractor, and a writer. Take it a step further each one has unique skills like marketing, selling, blogging, joint venturing, teaching, etc… Imagine how powerful this mastermind group is and what each member’s business will evolve within the next month. Powerful stuff!
4) Committment- I am not asking you to marry me! This means that you show up and be present for your regularly scheduled meeting, participate and follow through.
Remember it takes 5 fingers to move a hand. It’s not about how much toys and stuff you acquire in life, but the adventure of meeting others and helping everyone getting to the mountain top. See you all at the top.
We love to hear your experiences and what you got out of your mastermind group.

Are You Monkeying Around with Your Surveys?
Hello Everyone:
Just want to put up this blog post. Did I get your attention with the catchy title above? Now, seriously how many of you are conducting surveys and polls with your targeted market. Let’s see a show of hands. If your are not implementing surveys or polls, you should take another look at the benefits.
Why should one incorporate surveys or polls? Companies and Corporations are always surveying and polling their consumers when it comes to their current brand as well with development and creation of new products. Consider this do you get emails from companies asking you that if you fill out their survey they will send a free gift. What about answering a few of their questions and if you fit their profile they will send you a new product to try out. It’s all test marketing. You are probably wondering, so how does it apply to my business.
As solo entrepreneurs and business owners, how do you know if your clients/customers like your products? If you ask them personally or if you poll them. By conducting surveys and polls you get a current reading of your market’s preference. If you are creating a new product, wouldn’t you want feedback or some assurance that the product you release is going to be in high demand and get lots of buyers? By conducting surveys and poll, you are targeting your demographic population and getting a pulse of their likes and dislikes. Therefore incorporating surveys and polls will help drive business.
Here are 4 benefits to setting up survey and polls on your blog, autoresponders, emails, and mailings.
1) Get detailed information from your audience of their likes and dislikes with a product or service you are currently promoting.
2) You are having a teleconference or seminar and want to create content to find out what your audience prefers. Surveys and polls will pinpoint the interests of your targeted niche.
3) Provide more information of the needs or issues your targeted market is facing whereby you can identify solutions to their problems. Here is a place you create new products and services to help your clients/customers.
4) Surveys are easy to tweet and facebook share just by attaching the link to the survey. Your twitter followers and facebook fans can complete surveys instantly online.
Here are some survey services- My sources have revealed that the ones listed below are very good. Definitely, recommend going for the free version and take a test drive before buying.

Blog Talk Radio Show- Revisited
Hello Everyone:
Today’s blog post is about my conversation with Rosey Dow, who host her own Blog Talk Radio Show “Let’s Get Real! Marketing”. Met Rosey back in May 2010 at the Radiant Success Event out in Raleigh, North Carolina. If you have not attended this conference, I strongly advise that you attend next year which will be held in Atlanta, Georgia in April 2011. It is unbelievable what happens after these events and the connections one has made with other participant. It just spirals and turns into new joint ventures, partnerships as well as friendships. You get to work up close and personal with The Five Fabulous Successful Business Divas- Ellen Britt, Kathleen Gage, Marnie Pehrson, Janis Pettit and Denise Wakeman. This was my first conference as a solo entrepreneur and small home based business owner.
Rosey shared about her success and experience as the host of her own Blog Talk Radio Show. One thing that I enjoy the most was how easy it is to set up your own blog talk radio show and managing the switchboard. This sounds like so much fun.
Here are some key take aways that I learned from Rosey with starting a Radio Talk Show.
1) Schedule shows 3 to 4 days prior to recording.
2) Always be prepared prior and close to the end of the show to provide your contact information, so listeners can get in touch with you if they should have further questions.
3) Thank your guest and listeners for attending.
Thank You Rosey for taking the time out of your hectic schedule to share with us your experience with hosting a Blog Talk Radio Show. Now, I am determined to set up one too. More information to follow.
Have a good day. Happy Blogging!
