Finding The Right Financing For Your Business
One of the biggest challenges for business owners in the USA and in Canada is finding and securing the right type of financing for their businesses. Traditionally, business owners flock to banks when they needed business financing. However, the majority fail to get the business loan because they did not meet the bank’s tough lending standards.As a rule, banks require that you have an extensive and solid business plan and countless financial projections. And if you are already in b

aster mind I said I quit? One of the things that bugged me was there was not time to connect. I've found that the when you take just a minute at the start of each meeting to create a space of harmony and trust, you get a lot better results. You can read your group's mission statement, take a moment of silence, or recite a code of honour. Just make sure you connect before you move forward.

How To Build and Maximize the Power of Your Database
If you have read any of my previous articles, you know that I am a big advocate of database management. The purpose of this article is to dig deeper into the nuts and bolts of how to build, develop, and maximize your database with the goal of increasing your profits.Many business people do not even have a database, and those that do many times do not consider it anything more than an electronic rolodex designed to keep track of phone numbers and email addresses. I can tell you f

You know how you'll often get things done because someone else is counting on you? Somehow, when we make a commitment to someone else, it's easy to take action and follow through. Yet when left on our own, we tend to piddle around, get distracted, or fritter away our time.

There are several hallmarks to building a healthy 6-figure business and I consider being in a master mind one of them. The right kind of master mind will challenge you to be bold and authentic. It will challenge to you step up and step out. Plus it will challenge you to achieve more than you thought you could because you know you have unquestioning support behind you.

But to really get value and benefit from a master mind, you have to know how to either create or find one that will challenge you in all the right ways.

I'm currently in two master minds—one in person and one on the telephone—that have each provoked and supported me while I have re-vamped my business from the inside out.

There is something about standing up (or speaking out) to a group of my peers and making a commitment, knowing I'll have to follow through and report back on my progress the next time we meet, that spurs me to get my butt into high gear, fast.

Here are 5 tips on how to find or create a powerful master mind that will move you and your business forward to greater rewards and a whole lot more fun:

Tip #1 Make sure you love and respect each other
Sounds mushy, but a master mind is an intimate relationship built on trust. I was in one group for a short time, and quit when I realized I didn't have "that lovin' feeling" from the group members. I just didn't feel they "got me" which meant I was reluctant to open up and really share what was going on.

Tip #2 Keep it small and cozy
I've found 4-5 people is optimum. This gives everyone a chance to get all the time and attention they need without making each master mind meeting cumbersome.

Tip #3 Meet at least once a month
I've founded four different master minds in the last few years and each one made the initial commitment to meet at least monthly. One master mind I'm in right now meets every two weeks. Another I've been in for nearly three years meets every-other month for an all-day retreat (very cool, and very productive). Continuity is key so keep those meetings coming!

Tip #4 Build connection at the start of every meeting
Remember the master mind I said I quit? One of the things that bugged me was there was not time to connect. I've found that the when you take just a minute at the start of each meeting to create a space of harmony and trust, you get a lot better results. You can read your group's mission statement, take a moment of silence, or recite a code of honour. Just make sure you connect before you move forward.

What About the Internal Brand?
More and more companies are revitalizing their brand with a new logo, building remodels, new uniforms, advertising campaigns, and the like. Typically everyone, both within and outside the company, gets excited about the new look and message. After all, it’s cool to have the latest and greatest of anything.However, many of these companies fail to recognize the intangible assets. Yes, the tangible assets have been updated, but what about the employees? Has any thought or invest

Small Laser Cutting Machines
There are varied types of small laser cutting machines depending on the type of laser cutting job that you want.You can cut carbon steel with a CO2 laser. The laser is a device that can produce a coherent and concentrated light beam through stimulation of molecular or electronic transitions to lower levels of energy that cause photons to be emitted. Laser is short for ?light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation.?Acrylic panels that are cut by laser can be turne

Lists - Be More Organised to Help Your Career - It Helps you to Prioritize
You can generally divide people into two differing groups: those who use lists for action, and those who use lists as reminders of all the things they have to do someday.The people in the first category will want to use their list avidly, and will even write things on the list they have done, just so they can cross them off.The people in the second category tend to just jump in ahead and do things, without giving much thought to priority. They like the spu

Beer Commercials
Beer is one of the oldest beverages humans have produced, dating back to at least the 5th millennium BC. Beer is even part of the recorded history of ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia. At the turn of nineteenth century, beer commercials were aired on radio and TV. The critics of beer commercials saw these new mediums as an intrusion into peoples' living rooms. Many were concerned that beer ads might offend the viewers' sensibilities. Commercials that actually showed a person consuming beer w

Tip #5 Give and receive loving, kick-in-the-pants support
A master mind won't work produce results for you unless you're challenged. When giving feedback, ideas, coaching, etc., keep in mind that being too nice isn't doing anyone a favor. The trick is to keep your master mind partner's interests in mind while being totally up front and honest.

In my master minds, each participant gets 100% of our attention for a set mount of time. We also choose not to meet unless everyone can be there, which really adds to the strength of the group.

If you're serious about building a strong, healthy, thriving business and want to feel supported then create or join a master mind as fast as you can. I promise you'll love it!
