41. What a Mastermind is and what to ask yourself to be sure you choose the right mastermind for you

“Join a Mastermind”

Chances are you’ve heard this phrase once or twice lately.  And if you haven’t yet - get ready, it’s coming. 

Masterminds have really picked up steam and grown over the last few years and my personal predication is that the advice to “join a mastermind” is going to be as popular as the ol’ “get a mentor” advice. 

And let’s be real - even though that advice has been around forever, most of us still don’t know how to find the right mentor either.  

But that’s a topic for another episode. 

Today, I want to help you get AHEAD of the curve and talk about Masterminds. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What a is mastermind and why people join them

  • The different types of Masterminds - and why not all Masterminds are created equal

I can honestly say Masterminds have CHANGED my life and I know that when it’s the right group and program, it can change YOUR life too. 

Throughout the episode I’ll be sharing my personal experiences…because I’ve been fortunate enough to be a part of several masterminds and I’ve even led an incredible Mastermind (Goalden Girls Mastermind!) for the last 4 years. 

You are also going to hear three things I’ve learned from being in both paid and unpaid masterminds that will help you understand what you need to know before you join a mastermind. 


And, most importantly, remember - you’re always your own best expert.  You’ll find out the eight questions to ask yourself before you invest your time, energy OR money in a Mastermind.

Listen up Goalden Girl -  Masterminds have the power to accelerate your goals, your career, your business, you family life, finances, health - literally any and all aspects of your life. 

By the end of this episode you’ll understand more about what kinds of Masterminds are out there, how a Mastermind might help YOU reach your next level in your life….and how to decide what Mastermind might be right for you - so if you decide, you can invest in the BEST mastermind for where you’re at.
