Escape the 9-to-5 and live the lifestyle of your dreams by transforming your life's passion into an extremely profitable internet business—starting now.

When you first started dreaming of being your own boss, your mind probably filled with visions of flexible hours and doing the work you love. But there are financial considerations to think about as well.

Start by evaluating your current personal financial situation. Are you in debt?  Do you know what you’re spending your money on each month? Do you have savings and investments?

You’re still not using Adwords? Seriously?

Internet Business Mastery readers – you guys are serious about business.  I know you are.  I talk to Jay and see how much time & money is invested in this community.  I’ve even met a few of you and I know that you’re talented, successful business owners.

But some of you still aren’t using Adwords.

Which kinda blows my mind.  A little.

There are two kinds of internet business people in the world. There are internet business people who are working on their internet business full time, and there are internet business people with other jobs. Usually these people refer to these other jobs as their “day job” or “J.O.B.” Having done this “other job” thing by choice for several years it’s clear to me that there are at least five critical factors involved in the success of part-time internet business.

Building the right team for your business will speed up your success and boost your income. It’s one of the best business investments you can make. In this series of posts we talk about the kind of team members that you need to find to keep your business growing.

Recently we got an e-mail from Tom Sasnauskas in Chicago letting us know about the Internet Business Mastery Mastermind that has formed there.

We were so impressed with how they ran it that we asked him to do an interview on the podcast. That interview will be posted later this month with a premium extended version available in the Academy.

Tom’s e-mail about the group offers a number of great tips that you can model for your own mastermind group. Here is what he had to say.
