Now THIS is How to Run an Internet Business Mastermind

by Jay (Jason Van Orden)

CIBM 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.

There are currently 9 members in our mastermind group. If members miss 4 meetings we remove them from the group. We removed three people last year. We only want serious people that participate.

All the members are from Internet Business Mastery Academy. We are pretty much all at the same stage in development of our products and websites. Three members are beginning to making money now.

We hold monthly meetings in a conference room with Internet and a projector at a public library. We stay in touch and support each other using Google Groups. Our Google group has a Rolodex for websites, books, marketing swipe file, an area for storing ebooks/articles, members contact section and my favorite a monthly worksheet.

The monthly worksheet must be filled out before coming to each meeting. Are meetings are two hours long. We critique two member’s websites the first hour. The second hour we go over everything on the worksheet for each member. I also attached a blank worksheet from January’s meeting for you.

Thank you Sterling and Jay for turning me on to mastermind groups. Without this group I would be stuck in the planning stage for a long time.

@Mitch,

We will indeed post that worksheet along with the extended interview with Tom in the Academy later this month.

Being involved with our Chicago Mastermind group has been a positive experience with benefits at all levels.

The Mastermind group is a great resource for discovering new tools and techniques. Beyond that, it has been such a great motivator for all of us. We celebrate and feed off each others progress. I’m sure we have all kicked it up a notch because of our association.

We continue to explore new ideas and tools that will create the lifestyle we envision. I walk away from each meeting with new insights and goals.

I read books, attend seminars and scour the internet for information all the time but the Mastermind group remains my greatest resource.
