Mastermind and Inner Circle Values & Rules

Please be sure you can commit to each of these points. You’ll be asked to agree to them by signing a statement before you’re welcomed into your group. (Violators will be asked to leave the group and given a prorated refund.)

• Commit to attending every bi-weekly session unless an emergency intervenes.

• Plan to arrive on time. The virtual Zoom doors will close 10 minutes after each group meeting begins.

• Be fully present at each meeting (no multi-tasking).

• Treat everything discussed as confidential.

• Respect each other and your differences.

• Be supportive and optimistic, positive and encouraging when that’s your authentic feeling.

• Look to grow and help others do the same.

• Have a mindset of abundance, accountability, achievement, engagement, generosity.

• Give as well as take.

• Be kind and respectful if you disagree, not confrontational. The opportunity here is to provide helpful feedback and ideas, including alternative points of view.

• Be collaborative with a win-win attitude.

• Be open-minded when receiving help from others, especially new ideas you’ve never considered.

• Share the “microphone” and don’t dominate group meetings so all who wish to speak can do so.

• Avoid selling of any kind, though feel free to mention your book and your business to provide context for your comments.

• Remember our sessions are recorded, so don’t say anything you don’t want to live on tape after the meeting ends.

• Let us know specifically how we can help you as the year unfolds. Make the group your best-ever source of ideas and support.

• Share any group dynamics issues with Carol privately.

• Have fun! Make important connections and alliances. And start conversations you can continue for years to come!
