Welcome to season two of the Breakthrough Mastermind Show. I'm your host, Jen Argue and today we are talking about the shift that this podcast is taking for the second season.
Welcome to the Breakthrough Mastermind Show. I'm your host, Jen Argue, and I facilitate masterminds for women entrepreneurs who want to grow their businesses to help others and create financial independence.
This season, my podcast is taking a shift from what we focused on in season one, which is how a mastermind can personally transform you and impact your business in a powerful way.
Two, how industry leaders can use masterminds in their business to impact themselves, their customers, and their businesses. So join me as we venture off into the land of what it's like for you as an industry leader to have a mastermind in your business. In this first episode, I'm going to be sharing about the shift for me in my business because up until this point, for the last five years, I have been leading masterminds for women entrepreneurs who are earning six to seven figures, and last year I even added a second mastermind that was for people who were newer in their business.
So I've been running multiple masterminds for a long time. And honestly been leading groups for a long time. I have my master's in clinical psychology, and so I'm trained on how to be an effective group leader and how to also watch and lead people with different group dynamics.
So I am shifting my focus to something that has been on my heart for a while and people have been asking me to do basically since I started doing masterminds, and that is how can I help them? The industry leader lead a profitable mastermind for themselves. Leading masterminds is a lucrative business because you are providing a high-level service by bringing together other people of higher caliber who are really passionate about making a difference in their field with actually not a big of a time demand from you.
When you lead a mastermind, there's all different ways of doing it, and I'm going to be describing that in my course. But on average, it really only takes anywhere from two to six hours, maybe eight hours a month of your time in order to lead this group. And because the group is higher caliber. They are investing more to be there because really the other next step for them would be working with you one-on-one.
And so a mastermind actually helps the industry leader with their time because they're able to help people at that higher level as they would in a one-on-one. In a group format, saving them lots of time and adding a lot of benefits to what they're offering to their constituents. So I will explain more as I go into detail, but on a side note, I want to just mention that I'm not foregoing masterminds altogether.
I'm putting a pause. For this year while I develop my course, how I market it, how I deliver it, and I'm going to really be focused on that so that I can deliver the highest quality possible, and I will be implementing my masterminds again in the future. I love doing them. My background is as a therapist, and so that one-on-one contact with people and helping people lean into higher performance and bringing higher caliber groups together is something that really excites me and there are so many benefits to it and, and I'll be going more into that today. But for now, I wanted to let you know about this shift that I'm moving from leading masterminds to teaching others how to lead their own profitable masterminds.
So what does that look like? Let's dive into this exciting new resource for industry leaders. And this resource that I've created is reallyā€¦ what I believe to be cutting edge, and that's because this is not a normal course. You can invest in the standalone course, but what I'm offering is a VIP experience on top of that, and it's reallyā€¦ I haven't seen it done anywhere else, and so I'm super excited to be offering it to you.
As you learn how to implement your own profitable mastermind, this VIP experience that I've created is really unique. It's a hybrid of a typical course with teaching sessions paired with an actual experiential eight-week mastermind, so you get the full mastermind experience while learning how to implement your own profitable mastermind.
By taking part of that, you'll get to experience the richness of a mastermind and all of the beauty and the magic that comes with a well-led group. First, the VIP experience really is the crown jewel option because you get to experience a mastermind while learning how to do it. It's super meta. I mean, what better way to learn than to experience it firsthand?
Especially if you've never been in a mastermind yourself or the ones that you've been a part of really haven't been that good. So getting to experience it firsthand is one of the beauties of this option. Second, I will be explaining why I'm doing, what I'm doing, while I'm doing it. So not only will you get to experience the mastermind and my leadership, but you'll get to hear the whole reasoning and the richness behind it andā€¦
I'm convinced that the reason why free masterminds don't work is for the very reason that the leadership isn't very strong. When you have a mastermind, you are bringing together very strong people. People who are passionate, people who are difference makers, people who challenge things and as a leader, knowing your approach and why you're doing what you're doing is critical when you're working with this caliber of people.
When I'm leading a mastermind, I am there for my group. And my group is there for themselves and for each other, but they're not worried about me or thinking about me. And as the leader, the leader cannot make it about themselves, or that's when the value starts to drop and dynamics go a little sideways. To lead a highly profitable mastermind takes the skill of a good mastermind facilitator, and with that comes knowing about leader dynamics and group dynamics because believe me in a mastermind group dynamics are real and I can teach that and I'm going to be teaching it while I'm doing it.
My membersā€¦probably don't remember anything that I've done in particular in the Mastermind. Hopefully, they just had a great experience and I know they did because I have a really high re-enrollment rate and women in my mastermind, most of them have doubled their incomes every single year that they're in it.
So it's the dynamic that I bring as a highly qualified, highly skilled, trained leader that has led to them having this amazing experience. And you don't have to worry about are you going to be able to lead a group successfully because if you are in that mastermind option, youā€™re going to be learning firsthand.
You're going to be receiving it from me as leading the group and me explaining why I'm doing what I'm doing while I'm doing it. So that you can have those aha moments and you can take notes and you can say, Ok I get why this is important because if this didn't happen, I could see how this wouldn't be as good of an experience.
And so I want to give that to you so that you are prepared and skilled to lead an amazing mastermind that people will want to sign up for year after year. Third, what I'm doing with the VIP experience, I am allowing the student to be the leader. I'm giving people who are choosing this option, the opportunity to lead the group.
After we've had some time an d you've learned some of the skills that I've been teaching, if you want, you can take the reins and you can lead some hot seats. Get real time feedback on it. That way at the end of the experience, you can say you've led a mastermind if you haven't already, and you can feel confident about the skills that you've learned from the supervised experience.
That's a really exciting thing that I love to do. I love to train people. Um, I think it's my therapist's background. I just love that real time learning. It's a beautiful way to really cement the learning process. As a V I P, you are getting a special perk that other people don't get, and that is access to a Slack group.
I have had Slack groups for my Masterminds and they work beautifully, and I can show you how and you can experience it so that when you have your own Mastermind you can. Decide if that's something that you want to add to your mastermind experience or if you wanna do it a little bit differently. But I can show you how it works really well, and it's been beautiful for my masterminds in deepening the connection, the bonding that people have together and the way that it divides up the different topics and, and you'll see some of my methods.
In how I run that Slack group, so you as a V I P experience member will get to experience all of those wonderful things, which will lead to such a transformative learning experience for you In addition, Everybody who signs up gets access to the five module course, so it will be five weeks of what you need to get your group up and running.
Just as a little background, I'll tell you some stories when I. First learned about masterminds. I had mine up and running in a week, and my early members were paying $400 a month to be in it. The R O I on. This is so good. It is so good and such a wonderful way to. Build value and transformation into people's lives.
A common theme that people say after a mastermind is how exhilarated they feel. This is not something that people typically have in their lives. This type of connection to other people, this type of high accountability and support. For you to be able to provide that to your community is going to bring more beauty and more transformation and more success to people's lives in the world.
And when that happens, it's very exciting and we know that we're being change makers for good. Another story that I can tell is this past. I helped somebody else build out their mastermind and for me it was a way to work out this process that I'm going to be teaching you, um, with somebody else first.
And what this person was able to do is to start their own mastermind from our time together. He took the information and he enrolled 18 students at $12,000 each, so making over $200,000 with his very first Mastermind he's ever run. So that is so exciting. Just think what is possible for you. Second, everybody gets access to the coaching group sessions for the lifetime of the course.
So I know that ongoing support is so important and I know that life happens, and so you might in the middle of the course, have something where you need to step out for a moment. The group will be there for you when you come back. So having access to the coaching group sessions for the lifetime of the course is something I'm really excited to offer.
Having that help as you're building your mastermind and maybe as you're building your second, third, and fourth mastermind is going to. Support you as you do that. Just knowing that we're here for you and that we can help you when you hit a tough spot, I think gives you a lot more confidence in going forward knowing that we've got your back.
Also, everybody gets access to all of the bonuses, so there's the bonus of retreats, how to lead profitable retreats, and how to make them amazing. I've been able to lead retreats for my mastermind in various ways. And I can tell you the format that I've used that has brought such amazing transformation to their lives.
There is something about a live retreat that just increases the group bonding on steroids and brings out these really transformational experiences. It creates moments and. That they'll remember forever. I know when we met for our first retreat, the surprises on everybody's face when they saw how tall the person was in the group.
Um, it's not something we're used to, right? If we're on a Zoom call, we see each other on the screen, but we really have no idea truly how tall that person is in person and. A funny little thing that was really, you know, fun to experience, but honestly, people just were so energized to have this special time together and to be treated like queens for a week, and to just catapult their businesses and give them confidence in what they're.
So everybody gets access to the retreat bonus. Also, I've got a bonus on what kinds of extras and perks that you can add to your mastermind to make it extra special. You don't have to go around and hunt and peck for it. I've combined it all for you so you have it all in one place and you can decide what works best with your personality and the way.
Want your Mastermind to be experienced by your members, and the last bonus is so exciting. It's an outsourcing guide. Why would I include an outsourcing guide? Well, if you are interested as an industry leader to be leading mastermind. You are probably at the point in your business where you might be in your fifties or sixties or older, and you're winding down.
You're in the part of your business where you are doing one-on-one consulting, or you're getting asked for one-on-one consulting. , but you've earned your free time. You don't wanna be spending all of your time doing all these one-on-ones and keeping track of them. Instead, a mastermind is where you wanna keep everybody all together, the people who would typically want the one-on-ones, because those are the caliber of people that you want in that.
And who are truly gonna benefit from being in a group together so that you can keep your free time free. And to help with that even more, I'm gonna help you know what to outsource. so that you pretty much only have to show up to the meetings and be you with all the skills that I'm teaching you. So having an outsourcing guide is really what people who lead a mastermind should have and should be looking to implement because.
Whether you're at that point as an industry leader, where you want more free time to enjoy your life, or you wanna preserve your other time in your business because you're an industry leader and you are staying on the cutting edge of things, and so you're spending your time really staying on top of what's happening in your industry so that other people don't have to because they're looking to you for.
And so you need to have your time available for that. That is another reason to outsource as much as you can in the Mastermind. And it's something that I've been doing and I I've put it together a step-by-step list for you to implement yourself with, uh, the help of a. So I am really excited about this option that I'm rolling out this resource that I'm rolling out for you this year, and that is what I'm calling the Ultimate Mastermind course.
And I hope that you join me on this journey to add a profitable Mastermind to your business. This is open to everybody. If you are an industry leader or you have a passion to help people in a certain industry, this is for you. If you want to help that part of your audience that is ready to take what they're doing to the next level, and they're ready to rub shoulders with others who are ready to go to the next level, and you are the one who can bring them together and create this amazing experience, then this is for you.
