 If you're looking for one-to-one business coaching or mentoring, I hope that this video will provide an alternative to consider that might be an even better fit for you. So one-to-one business mentoring and coaching is where you work one-to-one privately with an expert in business and marketing to help you clarify the message of your business to give you the right strategy to grow your business to troubleshoot any challenges and problems that come up as you build your business. And that makes sense. And it's a service that I've provided intensively for several years, working with lots and lots of different entrepreneurs and small business owners. And the thing is when you do one-to-one business coaching or mentoring, you're getting a lot of input from just one expert, one person. And you kind of trust this person to give you the best advice, et cetera. But what if business doesn't really work like that? I mean, what if business isn't really just one person's advice, one person's feedback, isn't always the most strategic or the most market-driven feedback that you can get. So a couple of years ago, I started developing a group program and I have been intensively honing it for the past three years. And I'm proud to be relaunching it for the 2020 year. And I wanna tell you about this group program because some of you might be interested if you're interested in working with me personally, this is what I would recommend to you instead. But whether you work with my group program or somebody else's, I would encourage you to consider a hybrid group and one-to-one program if you can find one. Because I've seen over the past few years that that's really, it's probably the most strategic and most efficient way to provide support to somebody who's growing their business and the person who's receiving this kind of support gets the best of both worlds. You get the best of one-to-one, which is you still get the private support and accountability from one mentor and one expert. But you also get the dynamic diversity of feedback and support from a community of peers. So it's a really nice balance. And so in my group program, this is what you would be getting and I'm just gonna kind of read it out to you and please feel free to comment below if you have any questions, if you have any comments, I'd love to see it. So you get a couple of things and I'm just gonna go ahead and I provide so much of my group program. I'm gonna go ahead and read this out to you. So first of all, a thing, a really important difference between one-to-one work with a business expert versus a group program is that there is a big price difference, right? So a one-to-one expert might charge you anywhere between $300 a month to $1,000 a month for one-to-one support. And that's reasonable, right? Because you meet with that person privately, you're taking a lot of their time, et cetera. With a group program, instead of paying $300 to $1,000 a month, you usually pay a lot less than that. And my group program is only $150 a month. So it's half of the minimum you would pay for one-to-one business coaching or mentor. So here's what you get in my group program and it's something that I recommend you look for in other group programs that you are considering as well. So you get a private mastermind call and in my group, it's every week. You get accountability, you get to celebrate your progress, you get to share about your learnings and get the learnings from other people as well. So private mastermind group, private mastermind call every week, you also get a private group Q&A or I call it business clinic every week with me. It's a group call. But so in my group program, there are two group calls a week. Both are optional. Of course, they're all recorded. So if you don't want to attend or can't attend, you can always catch up anytime you want if you want to. So two group calls a week. One is a mastermind format and the second one is a Q&A or business clinic format where you get to come and share your challenge for the moment issues and get both my coaching and mentoring to support a feedback and ideas from your fellow group peers as well. So two calls a week that are private just to the group. You also get unlimited support through our private Facebook group. So we have a secret Facebook group just for the members of the group program and you can post your questions, as many questions and request for feedback as you want. So it's unlimited support. And of course you get the feedback from me. I check the group every weekday and answer questions, all the questions I answer. But you also get the feedback from your peers. And of course I vet the group carefully. So it's smart people who are building an authentic business who share our values of authenticity and kindness and joyful productivity rather than hustle and growing a business. So it's a very thoughtful and kind and supportive and spiritual community. So that's unlimited support through the private Facebook group. You also get my tracking of your business progress continuously. So in the group, I have a spreadsheet that you can copy which has various columns to help you track the most important actions in growing an authentic business. And I keep track of your spreadsheet every single week. The spreadsheet is optional. You don't have to track it every week but I do check every week people's spreadsheets and I pay attention to it if there's any challenges or questions. I respond to that but I'm definitely tracking your progress ongoingly. So that's the fourth benefit. The fifth benefit is you get access to every single one of my online courses. So instead of paying $75 to $100 every single month that's already included in the group program. So you get and it's organized access. It's all in the group. You get to go into the library and it's all organized by a recommended order of things and you could skip around if you want but it's all there for you. All the links, all the videos, all the documents are all there for you in the library. It's organized, it's all complimentary as part of as one of the group members. So that's a really big benefit. It's a fifth benefit. Sixth benefit is that you get a one-to-one private call with me every two months as a kind of a strategy check-in. It's just checking in because you get so much access to me in the group. It's unlimited access anyway. You get all the access, but you also get a one-to-one private call with me every two months to check in. How is your strategy going? How is your trajectory of your business going? So we kind of look at the big picture. A seventh benefit is you really, it's a group where you can really be honest about where you're at with things. You can be honest about your challenges. And it's really rare to find a group of kindred spirits where you can feel comfortable being honest about your challenges. And also to honest about your progress, to celebrate your progress and about your learnings. And you get so much benefit from also seeing other people share their challenges and their celebrations and their progress and their learnings. And it's just a really a lot of the people in my group say that the best part of the group is really the community that I've created, the quality of people that are in the group. So if you're interested in working with me, I think you'll really be excited about the peers that you're gonna meet in the group. Friendships form, accountability buddies form, referral partnerships form, and just overall it's an ongoing place where you can be yourself. You can really, and people even share the challenges in their personal life and get supported there too. So it's a really valuable place to kind of, let your hair down, so to speak and be yourself and be supported and be encouraged. So I wish I had a place like that. That's why I created this kind of thing. So whether you decide to check out my group or whether you check out other people's groups, you know, my peers all have their groups as well. You know, Tad Hargrave has a wonderful mentoring group. You might wanna check out marketingforhippies.com. Paul Zelzer has, creates mastermind groups as well. Mark Silver has a wonderful community and others. So I just mentioned those because they share my values very closely, but there are other, you know, business mentors who also have their own group programs. So you might wanna check that out as well. So whether you know, check mine out or someone else's, I really encourage you to look at, closely look at a group program as an alternative to doing one-to-one business coaching mentoring because especially if you can get both one-to-one and group together, it's sort of you get the best of both worlds. So be a smart shopper in how you're getting supported in your business growth. And you know, if my group sounds exciting to you, I hope that you'll check it out. Right now I'm recording this in the middle of November. So I'm just opening up enrollment for the 2020 year. And most of the spots in the group, and I should clarify it's, my group has a maximum of 50 members, five zero, 50 members. And it was 50 members in 2019 this year. And I found that it was a really good balance. 50 members is enough people where you get the diversity of feedback and support and partnerships and resources, right? From enough people there. Cause you want enough people to get the diversity of resources and support and personality matches and things like that. But it's not so many people. It's small enough where I can still personally track everyone, you know, with the spreadsheet or with my one-to-one calls and with ongoing support in that way. So yeah, so just want to let you know that. So most of the 50 spots in my 2020 group have already been spoken for because a lot of people are renewing from this year. But there is, there are still spots left. There's, I think there's about 15 spots left. So if you want to apply, I'd recommend that you apply as soon as possible. I'm going to be reviewing your applications and making decisions for the open spots in early December. You should hear back from me. So the earlier apply, I may be able to get back to you sooner, but certainly by early December. All right, so since this is a Facebook Live video right now, I'm going to go ahead and see if there are any questions for me to answer, but go ahead, I'm going to give you a moment to comment below with any questions or any comments.
