You get tons of value!

How many members does each Mastermind have?

To have room for adequate participation and support, we will have 10 members (and their couples) in each session. Smaller masterminds offer a more in-depth training experience, and members get to know each other much better. This leads to an environment where feedback can be more honest. In our opinion, it also fosters stronger, more lasting, and fulfilling relationships between members. Finally, it allows for a more customized experience, with our hot seats, and 1:1 coaching sessions.

Can I join the mastermind as a resident or fellow?

We are happy to announce we will have 1 scholarship for a resident or fellow per session so you and your couple can participate. You need to apply through the same process and check “Resident/Fellow Scholarship” on the application. The award will be announced one week before starting the session. Sorry, are not accepting medical students at this time.

Do I need to own a business to be considered?

No. It’s not necessary to have a business to join. We want to make sure, though, we are working together to develop or advance a business during the six months of your participation. The business can be anything, from your medical career to developing a product, an online platform, real estate investing, you name it. We are meeting to learn and grow together and to remain accountable to each other. Entrepreneurship is what matters.

How frequently does the Mastermind meet?

Normally, we meet once per week, for 1-hour, from 9-10 PM EST. We do log on 15 minutes early for our Pre-Meeting Party, to chat away about anything, before we get down to business. This may change as needed to accommodate team members. In addition, some sessions may go for longer, as needed, but are recorded for your convenience. Finally, we may also hold special events and workshops, as coordinated with the team, in advance.

Are there more sessions if I can't join now?

Yes, we will always be looking to add more sessions, so we encourage you to apply. The current plan is to run two 2-3 cohorts at a time to allow for proper preparation and ensure the availability of the best coaches possible to help you build your dream outcome.

What do you consider a good fit to the Mastermind?

For us, a good fit starts with a physician who is not only eager to build a business or grow as an entrepreneur but someone who is also looking to help others and our profession through their contribution. It can also be that you are looking to build your practice or career. We look for that “intention to do good” factor in all cases. Next, we consider if you would benefit from our approach and if you can contribute to others. This last item is more subjective and combines both your skill set and where you are in your development.

How do I know if I am ready to join a Mastermind?

In our opinion, if you answer yes to any of the following, you are ready:

You are ready to take your idea or your business to the next level
You are preparing for a big change in your business
You desire to discuss issues with like-minded people
You are not sure what you need to prioritize in your life
You are having new challenges in your business
You want to stay focused on pursuing your goals
You feel alone or lost in your entrepreneurial journey
You want to get feedback on your ideas

How can I best contribute to the Mastermind group?

Being present: Show up on time, every day, and stay for the duration.
Being ready with assignments: Complete them on time, and be ready to share your learnings with others.
Being ready to provide feedback: This is crucial, especially if you’ve had experience with what others may be facing.
Being respectful of other’s time, ideas, and dreams: We are here to share, help each other out, and help others stay motivated.
Sharing your areas of expertise: You’re good at something? Bring it on! Help others who may not know what you know… yet.
Listening carefully to the stories/struggles of others: Compassion is a key feature we try to foster. And let people share fully.
Provide feedback when prompted: It helps immensely to pay close attention and provide feedback if asked.
Staying engaged: This is in regards to your plans and the plans of others. Be a good team player.
Be honest: If you don’t know, that’s perfectly fine! The idea is to grow together on this journey.

What is a typical Mastermind session like?

The Mastermind session may vary from time to time depending on the group’s needs or the individual who may be in the “Hot Seat.” We will typically start a meeting by having each team member review their goal, 2-3 wins for the week, and what items they should be held accountable for the following session. Then, if we have a “Hot Seat” session, we will have the specified member present their business case and areas where feedback is requested, followed by a conversation with our expert guest on addressing the stated challenges. We would finish up with a Q&A session with remaining members and the guest coach. Other than this, we also have educational days, special workshops, and guest speakers.

What do you define a "weekly win" as?

Each successive week, we will have each member held accountably and “report out” to the team on what they plan to do for the coming week. This is then reviewed at the following meeting to verify if their goals were attained and the next goals. A win is a positive event that has transpired that can either reach that goal or actually complete the goal themselves. It is something we look forward to celebrating together in the group.

Are there any discussions shared outside the Mastermind group?

All discussions within the group remain private. We are very strict about this and demand it from all Mastermind participants. Any serious offenders may be expelled from the group.

Are the Mastermind meetings recorded?

Yes. All meetings are recorded and shared with the team members on our private, cohort specific Library in a secure fashion, throughout the duration of the Mastermind session.

How do you select, and what is your relationship to your coaches?

Coaches are selected specifically as the needs of the team are identified. We typically have a prior, direct relationship with our coaches and/or have participated in sessions where they have coached others. This is to ensure, at a minimum, they are a good fit for the Mastermind needs. Unless we explicitly mention otherwise, we have no direct financial benefit or “kickbacks” from any product or services from our coaches. The bottom line is that we selected our coach because of the specific needs of the Mastermind Group. Participating coaches, not from within the group, are contracted and paid for the Mastermind’s coaching services.

What if we have a disruptive or difficult member in the team?

People that join the team are from many different backgrounds and inclinations. We make every attempt and encourage the team to make every attempt to accommodate both cultural and/or personality differences. That said, if there is any member with who we’ve identified a recurring pattern and have made every attempt to accommodate, we do reserve the right to discreetly and privately ask them to leave the group. However, we suspect this would be a rare occurrence, if even ever.
