How You, The Entrepreneur, Can Level Up Your Business in a Big Big Way!
Inner Circle Mastermind
Most people approach their business using the worse weapon possible: fear. Fear of failure, fear of not getting sales, fear that employees will steal from you, fear of not getting a good deal on equipment or rentals, fear of the taxation laws.
So smart people actually counter this by education.
You get an MBA first or attend a short course about the industry, say the food cart business.
This is wise - because in events like these you can get mentors to help you along the way to overcome failures and tell you what to do when difficulties arise.
Even wiser still are those who dig into other industries success stories and apply those lessons in their own industries. This is a powerful advice championed by Jay Abraham, the highly paid marketing guru. You can access the stories via books, webinars, seminars and online courses.
But one of the best ways to get success stories like these are from real people who live in your own town - your entrepreneur peers. Even better than reading about them in (say) Entrepreneur magazine, is that you're actually friends with them. Wouldn't that be more valuable?
Imagine meeting a group of people who's also in business, learning together about marketing, social media promotion, telling each other their plans, successes and failures and giving tips to each other.
You can ask more details about their projects, learn what books they actually read and even ask to help them in their projects - as well as they help in yours.
This is called a Mastermind meeting.
My Experience with Masterminds
I've been privileged to attend online Masterminds with foreign entrepreneurs and it's really a different feeling to be in a meeting with very succesful people talking about our own businesses and helping each other. To be honest, I was the only Pinoy there so I mostly listened to all these Caucasians. And galing nila mag English! There's even an international speaker in our group who would speak like a sales letter. Everything he said had the effect that you wanted to buy whatever he was selling! But he wasn't selling to us, he's helping us sell our stuff. Lots of things to learn from your peers, I realized.
I've also dug into the stuff I purchased through the years and found a recording of a mastermind done by marketing powerhouses: Gary Halbert, John Carlton, Mark Victor Hansen, Robert Allen, Brian Tracy plus their wives, their marketing vice presidents and actress Melanie Griffith plus 30+ other entrepreneurs. It was incredible the way they gave their answers to the challenge of the day : "How to pre-sell 1 million books 1 year before you print it." When like minded people come together, the effect is 1000x plus points on your business and mindset.
Your reality
But reality is, you can't pick up a mastermind from 7-11 or order it using your iPhone or Blackberry - and people do not just call you up to join their mastermind - if you had friends like that at all. Google is no help too.
What you hear about nowadays are business partners who cheat, lie, give up too easily too soon or think so narrow just to protect their assets.
Good friends who start a business separate bitterly over business differences.
I had friends who created a small business way back in college and boy, did they get into an extended argument about wages, work and share of income. One person said it was fair to be paid the % they arranged beforehand even though she didn't work as hard because she's the major (money) investor. The others wanted a different deal because they did most of the hard work but didn't invest any money. They're still good friends today, thanks to a common strong love for God and each other.
But can you say the same for you?
Who else would help you in your business plans if you had bad partners?
Would your employees really give you great marketing strategy input even if you're paying them? Or are they just there for the salary - which most people are.
The words "self-made success" and "self-made millionaire" are misconceptions. Nobody wins in business alone. There's always the team behind every big success. Nobody is "self -made". You still need lots of customers to buy from you.
How You Can Overcome This Limitation
But you now know how you can overcome this limitation of the missing success team. You know the answer, right? It's the mastermind!
You know that if you join a team that can support you - if you get yourself exposed to people who answers big questions in business - and you apply them - you know your business will increase exponentially.
Tony Robbins said that the quality of your life is determined by the quality of your questions.
You know that even better than quality questions as getting quality answers from people of substance - people who are like you. Everyone in the mastermind is a diamond sharpening other diamonds.
Imagine yourself...
Say you're planning a sale and you're wrestling between 50% off or 25% off, both are still profitable but you're not sure what to use this time.
Instead of quickly reading "Pricing books" or looking for "Pricing Gurus" online (is there such a thing?) - you bring the question to your mastermind group who meets every month. Each person now gives his insights - sometimes from experience of the psychological effect of the % to Filipino buyers of your product.
That input would be immensely valuable - especially if you had 10-15 different inputs for your question - one from each Mastermind member.
Everytime you have a question in business, you are so excited to meet the mastermind every month because you know you'll be blessed with their informed insights.
They're not guessing, they've done it before and they're telling you what works.
Plus, imagine the benefit of being in that meeting - when you're just starting off and you don't have a sale planned yet - now you know what to do .
And that's just one topic.
In a mastermind, everybody gets to tell his present challenge and everybody gets to chime in and brainstorm how to solve it.
This is like having a Board of Advisors from different industries - all conspiring to make you even more successful!
That's an exciting way to be an entrepreneur, isn't it?
Yes but not now?
This is precisely the reason why I've already gathered entrepreneurs to join in my first Pinoy Inner Circle Mastermind here in Manila. We will be doing the most innovative, attention-getting marketing in our fields - because we're working together. It's an organized conspiracy to make each other successful.
We know you want to join this but maybe Manila is too "far" for you. However, we already have a member from Pangasinan (half day travel by road - one way) who's going to join us for our once a month mastermind meetings - so I'm not sure now how "far" is defined.
For me, the farther you travel to get closer to successful people, the better! This is how I began; I travelled to Singapore and Malaysia just to learn from the best in the world.
The people who will join us know we're going to transform their industry - and they'll be the leaders in that transformation - the rest will be followers.
It's probably the time that you join us,too. You know you want to be part of a successful group of people who are going places.
Alas, here's the catch: I'm only forming one mastermind group of 10-20 people maximum because my conference room cannot fit more than that. The mastermind will be held at the Rosewood Pointe Conference room - in front of my condo in Taguig. Depending on the group, we can hold it elsewhere, like Tagaytay or another country (I'm not joking) but 20's the maximum I can manage for this Mastermind.
It'll be done monthly half-day to whole day. If we're 10 people we'll do it half-day; if we're 20, we'll do it full day. But that's it. We cannot accommodate more than 20. And I already have paid signups for the mastermind. Our initial meeting will be on September 5, 2011
Take the next brave step and join the first Pinoy Mastermind that can transform your business and expand your mindset.
Mastermind fee is at P 87,500 for 12 months or 8,750 monthly for 12 months and this includes all meals and drinks during our meetings.
