Review of The Mastermind Partner Program

 

My friend Andrea developed a mastermind group called The Mastermind Partner Program. Have you heard of it? If not, this article will give you a better idea of this program including:

  • what this program is,
  • who it is for,
  • how to become a part of the group.

What is the Mastermind Partner Program?

Andrea Goodsaid developed the Mastermind Partner Program after realizing barriers into her own coaching program….Time & Money

I saw a distinct barrier to entry.

Two barriers really.

One was time…

(no one seems to have enough time – especially when they’re stuck in the “rat race”)

The other was money…

(the cost to get solid guidance on how to put all the pieces together – especially guidance that takes the wants and needs of the individual into consideration – rare and rarer)

And both were keeping me … and the people I was most effectively able to help … apart.

Many of these people were folks who I really dug too … I was not happy about having to wait till their next “I’m completely overwhelmed and I’m ready to quit” moment to connect again.

Something had to be done.

So I came up with my “coaching wrapped income thingy” … later to become known as the Mastermind Partner Program.

See I knew that I could easily “overdeliver” on a few hundred dollars worth of investment…

According to Andrea’s blog, here are a few things that this program includes:

Lots in the hopper…

~ a 6 month Accountability level coaching program

~ a 6 month JV partner program

~ several members with info products to spit shine and get launched

~ increased specialized group activity in our private inner circle community

~ the addition of as many as 3 residual income streams

~ an updated MPP Phase I Roadmap complete with a totally new income Jumpstart system

~ focus on specialized marketing methods and listbuilding goals

~ inter team contests

~ monthly webinars guest hosted by up and coming leaders in our Mastermind program

~ what else?

… we’re only limited by our imagination :)

 

Who is the Mastermind Partner Program for?

This program is for those who are either new to Internet & network marketing industry or those who have experience but are hitting obstacles that is preventing desired growth.

Many will set out on the quest to become successful in a home based business but take on too many tasks without seeking expert guidance. The guidance that you gain from those within the Mastermind Partner Program is priceless and will take you further more quickly than figuring out everything on your own.

Those who are ready to learn and ready to take the right steps are the ideal individuals for this team. So much struggle for newbies is taking action steps or using specific strategies and then correcting those actions as needed along the way. The trouble is that there are many who either never take action, take the wrong actions without correcting them, or taking inconsistent actions.

Getting to know one another helps to identify with other members of the group help to hold you accountable. Seeing others achieve success and networking with them helps you learn what they are doing to accomplish success so that you can model the same. This is especially true when you know that ‘if they can do it, then so can you’.

How to become a part of the Mastermind Partner Program group

It’s as simple as making a decision. Once you have gotten all the necessary info to make an educated decision, then just do it. Get guidance, shorten your learning curve, and network with a group of successful home business entrepreneurs.

Success Online: 3 Best Practices

Marketing_Online_Success

Success in an online business is like reaching the highest peak of a mountain. It feels good to reach the top where so few are able to go. Too often, people fall short of success online because they quit before they get the the end goal, they lack goals, and other factors as well.

Just what does success online look like and how can you best equip yourself to accomplish success online?

This topic will be explore more below…

What does it mean to have success online?

The definition of success is different for each person.

Some would define success as having material possessions. Others would define success as getting specific results. And another group would see success as effort towards a goal.

Whatever the case may be, one thing is for certain, you must install some sort of tracking code into your blog or website. In order to quantify your success, it must be measured. Without tracking such as Google Analytics or Hypertracker, you would have a very hard time knowing for certain where your efforts produce the best results and how to make changes that increase success.

I wrote a blog article a while back about the #1 reason people fail to reach success online. In addition to this, there are other qualities that contribute to achieving success online.

Below are 3 examples:

How can you have the best chance of accomplishing success online?

  1. Value – what is the value that you offer? What unique skills, talents, experience can you bring to the table that will benefit your team and the company that you work with? We all possess skills and talents that we can use to provide positive service to others.
  2. Story – your team and leaders must feel an emotional connection to the story you have at the current moment. You never know when someone relate to and be inspired by your unique set of experiences that make up your story. Where you have been and where you are headed not only shows your potential for growth but also provides a platform for others to take action towards creating their story as well. While you are creating your story you can also share the stories of your team and your leaders as well.
  3. Community – the support, vision, and common goals that are shared with a large group of people help bring about a sense of energy that propel us to move forward to reach higher paths. This is similar to a mastermind group or support group.

Now that you have a more clear picture of the ingredients of success online, you have the tools to go out and achieve your goals.  Use the tools you have through learning and training to go out and serve others first using online strategies then connecting and networking. This can all be done online in a way that brings you success in your online home business.

Where can I go to learn more about achieving as much success online as I believe possible?

Internet Leads: Here Are The Pros & Cons

Developing a large pool of targeted Internet leads is something that ANY business owner or entrepreneur relies on for for successful sales to increase business.

What are Internet leads?

Leads are people who have taken action to express interest in your product or service. Completed on the Internet, this is the first step in building a business that generates a steady flow of partners, clients, and customers.

There are many ways to attract more leads into your business. You can either do this yourself or you can hire someone to do this for you. You can also use internet or you can use more traditional methods of marketing to attract leads although an integrative approach expands reach greater than using either by themselves. The Internet is just 1 way to significantly increase home business leads.

 

Web and Internet Leads

 

Using Internet Leads & The “Pros”

Meet more people – if you attract internet leads online you are able to reach a global market of people to do business with. This is a bit different from attracting you local market offline. You can generally use traditional methods of marketing combined with Internet to expand your reach to those in different regions, countries, etc.

Stay at your home office – you can use your home office or you can connect with your internet leadsover any wifi or data connection (and a computer). This is great because video conference can be just as efficient as an in-person meeting and can occur without the time and travel expenses

Already using the Internet – the people who come into your marketing funnel as internet leads have 1 advantage so far and that is they are using the Internet to connect with those who offer more expertise in an are they are looking to achieve abundance with. If you want to work with people who are more ‘internet-savvy’ then this works to your advantage. Internet is become more popular because if it’s ability to be leveraged in business building and future clients, partners, and customers must be at least using and have basic knowledge of navigating the Internet.

Build your business faster – you can quickly develop a list of your own internet leads using paid advertising. Within 48 hours on some ad networks.

Attract Internet Leads

The “Cons” of Internet Leads

Expensive – buying internet leads from a 3rd party can be expensive because you are paying extra for someone else’s knowlege and effort. If you know how this works and learn how to do some of this yourself, you can save a cash then build your resources to be able to delegate & outsource these tasks to someone else.

Quality – 3rd party internet leads aren’t helpful unless you are familiar with the quality and integrity of the vendor who is generating the leads you purchase. Check beforehand to get a better idea of how well of a relationship the vendor has with his leads and how well they will respond to your offer.

Lacking relationship –  If you have purchased access to a group of leads, you will have to build trust with them over time before they purchase anything from you. These are people who generally will take a longer time to go through the sales funnel. The people who you build a relationship with online or offline are those who will become your loyal fans and will be interested in what you have to offer.

 

Building your business online of offline requires specific actions taken consistently. These types of actions include marketing and selling. Taking these actions (in addition to setting up an online marketing and sales funnel) will help you generate more internet leads.
