The Core Idea…
A small, peer-led mastermind that focuses on what we actually need - proper time to think, challenge each other, and work through real business issues. No endless training sessions on subjects we have mastered or accomplished in our businesses, and no start up business problems.
Just established business owners giving and taking equally.
How Does it Work?

How is This Mastermind Different?
ONGOING SUPPORT & ACCOUNTABILITY
Private community for members to chat between meetings, together with scheduled Zoom's calls to check in.
NON PROFIT MODEL
No membership or joining fees. We all chip in equally, no one's making money from it.
APPLICATIONS VETTED BY ALL MEMBERS
With a strict non-compete rule for all seats in the mastermind, all members will review and vote on applications. A unanimous decision must be reached for all successful applications.
TRUE PEER-TO-PEER MASTERMINDING
No "guru" at the front, we all contribute. When requested and agreed by all members, experts may be brought in as part of our meetings to provide insights and training.
Three Key Focus Areas
Mindset Challenges
The stuff that keeps us up at night
Strategic Thinking
Big picture planning with people who get it
Business growth
Practical and tactical solutions to grow
Who Should Be Part of This?
We need people who've moved past the startup chaos and are dealing with real scaling challenges. This means businesses that have proven their model, have consistent revenue, and are focusing on growth rather than survival.
When everyone's at this stage, conversations move from "how do I find my first customers" to "how do I build the right leadership team" or "should I acquire or expand organically."
The problems are more complex, the stakes are higher, and the discussions are far more valuable because everyone understands what it actually takes to run a successful operation.
Having non-competing businesses is crucial for creating genuine openness. When there's no competitive tension, people share real numbers, actual problems, and proven strategies without holding back.
Without fellow industry peers in the room you can discuss your best marketing channels, your pricing models, or your expansion plans without worrying someone will steal your ideas.
This diversity also brings fresh perspectives - sometimes the best solution to your restaurant challenge comes from someone in software, or your retail problem gets solved by someone in professional services.
This is about showing up fully, not just when you need help.
It means being present during someone else's hot seat even when your biggest challenge has been solved. It's taking that call at 8pm when another member needs to talk through a crisis. It's sharing your failures as openly as your wins because you know someone else will learn from them.
The best masterminds work when everyone contributes their energy, experience and attention equally - not just taking notes during their own session.
Four meetings a year doesn't sound like much, but it requires real commitment. Missing even one session breaks the continuity and weakens the group dynamic.
When someone's absent, they miss the context of ongoing discussions and the group loses their perspective. Full attendance creates momentum - you can build on previous conversations, track progress on goals, and hold each other properly accountable.
It also shows respect for everyone else who's made the time. A mastermind is about being there for one another success, not just your own.
This might be the most important quality. We've all met successful business owners who think they have all the answers. That's not who we want. We need people who can hear "I think you're wrong about that" without getting defensive.
People who can admit they don't know something. People who'll try a different approach even if they're skeptical. The magic happens when someone challenges your thinking and you're secure enough to consider you might have a blind spot.
That's where real growth comes from.
