Dear
Friend,
If you'd like to quickly and
easily get on track,
define your goals, create a plan for success, accelerate your
accomplishments and propel your life and your business to the next
level, this might be the most important letter you'll ever read.
Here's
why:
My name is Ann
Collins
and it was not too long ago that I was in the same position as many of
you are today. I
had just had a baby in my 40’s, my husband was working hard
to get his new business started, and the contract position I had been
working came to an end. The
business I was struggling to start was going nowhere fast, leaving me
wondering….. What do I do next? Who do I go to for GOOD
advice that I can
afford?
What I found is that
you’re left with a
lot of bad options. Friends
have their own problems so it’s hard to get them to focus on
yours. Family can
give you their thoughts but they have their own personal biases and
limitations based upon their own experience. What I needed was someone
that had been
through what I was going through, knew the issues and options and had
successfully navigated their way through the obstacles that I was
facing.
Little did I know that the
answer was soon to be
unveiled and it would change my life forever! I had joined
a class to
put my part time
business on the internet and that one step has led me to where I am
today. As part of
that class, with the encouragement of our instructor, we formed a group
to meet regularly to keep each other on track, jointly discuss problems
and issues, and to provide both motivation and encouragement to keep
moving forward to reach our goals. Others in the class attempted to do
it on
their own and quickly fell behind.
As it turns out, our
instructor Bill Hibbler had
formed groups like
these in the past, had similar success and had written a book called “Meet and
Grow Rich” which defined a concept called
MasterMind Groups.Based
upon the success of the MasterMind Group we formed in our class, I was
able to develop a system to lead and facilitate other MasterMind Groups
as well.
I’ve even had the great fortune of working with Bill Hibbler
himself.

Look behind many
successful businesspeople and you're liable
to discover one of the secrets to their success is a mastermind group.
Imagine
what you could accomplish with a support group to advise,
encourage, and
inspire you. But starting and running a mastermind group isn't always
easy.
That's one reason I recommend hiring a professional facilitator to do
the heavy
lifting for you.
I brought in Ann
Collins
to facilitate meetings of groups of
students in my Ebook Mastermind classes. She does a fantastic job and
the
students rave about her. I can't recommend her enough. If you want a
successful
mastermind to help you achieve your most important goals and dreams,
you want
Ann Collins to run your group.

Let me go back to the
beginning for just a
minute.What I found with our
MasterMind Group is that many of the issues that I had been struggling
with were shared by others in the group. Even if the problem was
unique,
since we were
all approaching things from a business perspective, the advice I got
was better than I expected, was actionable, and allowed me to move
forward with confidence.
As I facilitated and led
other MasterMind Groups
it became clear that, when done right, everyone in the group benefited
from the collective experience of the group. By using the tools and
techniques I developed, we were able to do it quickly and effectively
using a weekly meeting. Based
upon the success of these groups and enthusiastic encouragement of the
members I was led to form Your MasterMind at
Work (YMAW) and to offer
my services to others that needed what an effective MasterMind Group
could do for them in both their personal and business endeavors.
Why
should you consider a
MasterMind Group and “Your
MasterMind at Work”?
Your
MasterMind at Work
(YMAW) knows
the secret to your success and the attainment of
your most aggressive goals is to build an effective team. YMAW
has the answer with our program that brings the collective power of you
and other business owners together to motivate, help, direct, focus,
drive, encourage, and hold you accountable to achieve your goals.
Successful people know that Business, like Life, is
a game and the best teams always end up the winners. They also know
that the accomplishments of a team far exceed the accomplishments of
the individual members.
YMAW is the only
MasterMind Program that does all the work in building your team and
uses our tried and true proprietary techniques to maximize your results.
Now, I know you're probably
skeptical. That's
normal and healthy. Let me give you three good reasons we can back up
what we claim:
Three Reasons To
Believe What I Say
Reason
one:
History Proves the Value of a Team in Achieving Success.
Look back over time and I dare you to find one company that was
massively successful that failed to build a team. Every major
corporation has a board of directors advising and directing the
tactical and strategic direction of the company and holding the
President and COO accountable for execution to the plan. Without that
Brain Trust leading the organization, would they be as successful in
their business? I doubt it!
Look at some very successful businesses and how they got their start.
Microsoft had Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Apple had Steven Jobs and
Steve Wozniak. Google has Larry Page and Sergey Brin.
Would these companies have been as successful with out the
complementary skills of the two co-founders? If they had a problem or a
roadblock they had 100% more brainpower to apply to the problem than a
Solopreneur or most small
businesses. Do you think that gave them an advantage? Of course it did!
Do you think the solution or plan that came out of the discussion
between them was better than the plan that either one of them would
have come up with individually? Of course it was!
Napolean
Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich, where he interviewed the Titans
of industry in the early 1900's, highlighted that each of these
industry leaders credited the relationships and teams they formed as a
critical element of their success.
Just think about it. Why
would you struggle to try
to build a
business all by yourself? Some
of the smartest and wealthiest business owners throughout history
credit not only their hard work, but the teams and relationships that
helped them get started, as critical to their success.
Reason
two: A
MasterMind Group is the Best Choice for Most Independent Business
Owners!
As a solopreneur, or
the owner of a small business, you are left with a host of bad options
in resolving problems and issues with your business, planning for the
future and the execution of tasks that will make your business grow.
You need help. You need advice. You need someone that has
some experience to guide and direct you!
But, in most cases you cannot afford to hire the skills and expertise
you need to answer and resolve critical issues. You cannot rely on
advice from your employees or friends, your banker, lawyer, or
accountant since they all have potential risks, conflicts of interests
or just lack of real motivation to work on your problems when they have
problems of their own.
So that leaves you flying blind, shooting from the hip, guessing, or in
many cases just doing nothing and procrastinating about what could or
should be done.
Does this sound familiar? What would it mean to you or your business if
you could tap into the resources you needed to move your business
forward?
Reason
three:
Been There Done That!
Yes, I was just like you. Working long hours struggling to grow my
business doing everything I could think of to succeed. I worked my butt
off for over a year with some success but the progress was slow and too
painful.
Once I decided to MasterMind and to build a MasterMind Group I was able
to get focused, define and implement a plan, and achieve more success
in a month than I had in the previous year.
Looking back, it’s the best decision I made that year and
wonder why it took me so long to make the leap.
Here
is a
summary of the benefits you receive
|
1.
Your MasterMind
at Work
(YMAW) builds a
team of like minded entrepreneurs just like you to provide you with the
advice you need on your current and future plans and pressing business
issues.
No longer
will you be wasting your time and energy, or stall taking actions and
procrastinating because you are unsure what to do or what needs to be
done to move forward.
2.
YMAW Team has a broad cross section of
knowledge and experience.
What you
will find is that many times a team member has already worked through
the same issue that you are struggling with and will have a recommended
action for you to take. You will also find that the other members of
the team will have ideas and thoughts that will leave you with clear
direction and a set of actions to take immediately. This increases the
speed your business can move forward by eliminating the roadblocks.
3.
Your
YMAW
Team of five to eight key members that meet weekly.
Your team
provides the broad base of experience and skills that you will need for
most of your business needs and individual time to receive group
feedback. The weekly meetings provide tracking of accomplishments,
identification of problems/issues, feedback both positive and negative
and encouragement and motivation to propel you forward.
4.
Your
YMAW Team will
have a skilled facilitator.
This will
keep your meeting on track, assure that everyone has time to discuss
their status and ask for feedback from the team. We know you
don’t have the time to recruit and enroll team members for a
MasterMind Group. Nor do you have the time or desire to handle the
logistics of setting up a conference call, setting up meetings, or
following up on action items with other members of the team. That is
why we provide a skilled facilitator to assure you get the most out of
every engagement.
5.
Proprietary
YMAW MasterMind Planning Tools and
Guide.
The YMAW
Tools are used by your facilitator
and your team members to track your progress, hold you accountable, and
highlight your key issues and discussion topics. The peer review and
accountability is a critical component to your success.
6.
A
Team that knows where you are today, where you’re going, and
where you’ve been.
This
allows them to give you better recommendations and directions without
you having to explain the nuances of why some solutions are just not
applicable.
7.
YMAW Team has a broad base of customer
and provider contacts.
This
expands your market opportunity and reach
through your Team Network, allows you to find critical resources to
help your business, and can provide referral to clients for new
business as well.
|
Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can
do all those things.
Let
me explain.
Your
MasterMind at Work
(YMAW) will
find complementary non-competing MasterMind Group
members for you
and your business, and will set up all the logistics to get you started
quickly. YMAW will assign and
provide a skilled facilitator to assure that your meetings are
successful and action items are recorded and available. Distribution of
status and updates to the team for review prior to the meeting will be
provided.
In the weekly meetings each team member will have time to cover their
status and to get feedback from the team or ideas on a problem or issue
they’re trying to resolve.
Don't
take my
word for it.
Listen to what our
customers say.

Diane Bates was
motivated to write the
outline of her new book:
Though I've only recently been introduced to the idea of a mastermind
group, the concept of it was familiar to me. Actually, I have been
wanting that type of
community at work in my life for many years. The idea of a group of
people assisting each other with their goals is exciting to me. Now
that I am in a Mastermind group with Ann Collins,
my wish for a community of helpers is coming true. I find that others
can look at what I've offered and have totally different perspectives
than me. The others in my group also share enthusiasm and encouragement
for my project. After one of our first phone calls, I was inspired to
jot down all 10 chapter titles for my ebook
that I'm writing. It just flowed. Ann has been great as a facilitator.
She guides the mastermind process gently, adding comments in a
non-threatening way. Any constructive feedback is given in a positive
manner. I look forward to my Mastermind group each week and wouldn't
want to miss it.

Lynne Fisher was
able to clarify his
goals.
I have found the collaborative and cooperative environment of our
mastermind group to be an incredibly effective and efficient resource,
and look forward to it as the highlight of my week, largely due to Ann
Collins' gift as a goal setting on-track focused
mastermind facilitator with a warm and charming personality.
With great appreciation and reverence for Ann's contribution,
Lynn Fisher

Elizabeth
Cooling stays on track with
her group.
"Ann is a fantastic facilitator with great energy, openness and is
extremely
friendly in her approach, and also has a great sense of humour. I feel
she has helped me
in my ebook project by
keeping me accountable and focused to achieve my goals and offers
advice if needed.
As far as the group is concerned, Ann is able to draw from us as a
group to be accountable and stay on track. She also manages to immerse
the group totally in any relevant topics which in turn allows us to
participate fully in helping others in our group with responses to
their questions. Ann definitely creates a sense of togetherness in the
group situation which in turn brings out varied attributes from the
group.".

Warning: Do Not
Join Any MasterMind Program
unless it meets the
following 6 criteria
There is a lot of confusion
surrounding our field.
I want to give you 6 criteria or elements you absolutely, positively
must have to get the results you desire:
 A
skilled facilitator to handle the logistics and to assure the team
stays on track.
A
small group of no more than 10 members in a MasterMind Group to assure
that each member gets the maximum benefit for their investment of time
and energy.
The
ability to add individualized one on one coaching to your MasterMind
program to fill in any gaps, to work through individual issues as they
come up, and to assist you in getting the most out of your MasterMind
program.
A
tracking and planning program similar to our Proprietary Program to
optimize your results and to assure you get the maximum benefit out of
your team meetings. You
need a process to make sure every minute is used to its maximum benefit.
An
affordable solution that more than pays for itself and allows you to
focus on your business and the execution of your plans versus the
logistics and administration of setting up and running a MasterMind
Group.
A
program designed to build both tactical and strategic business and
personal relationships.
You get at least
10 times your money's worth!
So how much is the direct
feedback, advice and
coaching from 5-8 business owners worth to you?
To your business?
Will it allow you to grow your business 10-20%? This would not be an
unreasonable expectation.
Will it force you to be more productive and focused on working on your
business?
Will it eliminate you wasting hours and days searching for solutions to
problems that are impacting your business?
Will it allow you to tap into new customers and clients through your
expanded network?
Will it provide you the emotional and mental support and encouragement
you need to take your business to the next level?
Will you be able to take your business to the next level by yourself?
Do you need to build a team? Do you have the time and money to build
your own team?
How much is procrastination costing you per month? $1,000…
$5,000… $10,000…
??
How much is failing to take action costing you, your business, your
family, and your employees?
A single lead, recommendation, or joint venture could be worth tens of
thousands of dollars to your business.
In
summary, here's what you get:
-
A
dedicated facilitator for your MasterMind meetings to keep you on
track, assure that each member is getting the value they paid for, and
provide the administrative and logistical services to assure that
everything runs smoothly.
-
A
peer support group that holds you accountable and focused so that
procrastination is a thing of the past. It will be clear what needs to
be done next and your team will be reviewing your results, sharing and
rejoicing in your success, and holding you accountable to take action.
So how much might this be worth to you?
Eight Business Owners and a
skilled facilitator
would run over $1,000 per hour. A single tip could save you $1,000 -
$10,000. A single complete action could easily be worth $50-100,000 for
your business. Yes, you must still take action to implement your plans
and the recommendations of the MasterMind group.
But, one thing is
guaranteed…
with today’s market and
economy, if you continue doing what you did last year you’ll
probably just squeak by. You’ll be looking at significant
challenges to achieve the same result.
So ask yourself?
Were you happy with what you achieved last
year? Will you be happy with the same result or less this year?
I don't think so. However, I am sure the YMAW
program will lead you to achieve your goals.
I know it will work for you just like it has
worked for me.
