I’m going out on a limb here, but it is my opinion that you CANNOT possibly build a successful business without having access to a mastermind group. You look at people you know who have a successful business and every one of them will have access to people to advise them, throw ideas around with and people who expect them to be the best they can be.

I’ve seen first hand numerous times the impact a mastermind group can have on my business, the business of my mentors and those of my students.

There is nothing more powerful to help you grow your business.

I feel so strongly about it that we help all our customers  join one of our mastermind groups. It doesn’t matter if they have purchased our $47 per month Wonderful Web Women membership or our higher end products and mentoring that run into the thousands, we help them you find other people from our community to support you.

I’m a member of 2 mastermind groups myself and another faculty that meets a few times per year to help each other grow our businesses. I can’t imagine being in business without them.

There is a good reason a Mastermind Group is listed as the 9th Step Toward Riches by Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich.

OK so you know this is something I’m passionate about. Let’s look at what a Mastermind group is and how to run one. Read more

Last week I announced the launch of a limited number of places in my “Wonderful Web Private Mentoring Program” . There are only 7 places remaining. If you are serious about making 2009 the year you take action and get real results quickly, then don’t procrastinate. You can details below.

Here’s the details. Read more

From Forums to coffee. It’s a small world

Here is a wonderful story of how Wonderful Web Forum can help you find support to grow your business. Margaret Saunders and Vivienne MacDonald met in the forum and quickly realised they lived close together. Now they meet for coffee and brainstorm business ideas. It is so rare to find someone you can talk to that “gets it” when you talk about growing an internet business.

And to think they met through a forum created by a woman in another state of Australia. It’s a small world after all. Margaret sent me this photo of their latest coffee meeting. Don’t they look radiant?

Today I interviewed Connie Boris and Charly Leetham. I like to think of them as the Yin and Yang of internet Marketing. They shared an inspiring story of how they met through Wonderful Web Women and then took action on every opportunity that was provided to them until now they have created a partnership with a unique approach the help others find a calm and clear path through the maze of Internet possibilities.

Gives me goosebumps

I’ll share with you their unique approach in a moment but first can I share with you something that just gives me goosebumps? This story is such an affirmation to me that I have created something through Wonderful Web Women that has the potential to change people’s lives. I hope it will also inspire you to grab the opportunities we create for you and use them to create the life you want.

Taking action on opportunities

These are actions Connie and Charly took through Wonderful Web Women. See how each one has built on the other?

1. Wonderful Web Forum:

This is where they met. Connie and Charly both posted to the forum with comments to help another member who had a question on blogging. They had both just started a blog. Connie also commented on posts left by Charly’s daughter.

The message here? Helping others, no matter how simply, helps you build relationships with others. Even the person you are NOT helping.

2. Ask Questions on our calls and the discussion time after each call:

Connie always asks great questions. (As a note, my Mum comes to many of our calls. She’s my greatest fan. She told me she had to be on the call today because Connie would be there. Why? Because Connie always asks good questions?). Charly always offers great tips. They both happened to ring into the same call and struck up a discussion on the line with us.

Message here: Contribute and ask questions. You will get known as a person who thinks and contributes.

3. Join a mastermind group

Charly joined a mastermind group that Connie was part of. This is something we set up and manage for our gold members. This kept them accountable on their goals and they started to develop a level of trust with each other.

Message here: A mastermind group is one of the most powerful ways to achieve your golas and find like-minded people to help you.

4. Wonderful Web Giveaway

In July we ran our first Give Away event as a way to help our members grow their list, and start one if they hadn’t started already. You needed to have a product to give away and Connie didn’t have one. Charly helped Connie create an MP3 product by interviewing her. Charly also gained experience interviewing which she wanted.

Message here: Use opportunities others provide you as deadlines to motivate you to take action. Ask for help if you need it. Often the person helping will benefit just as much as you. NB: we will be running another Giveaway next year and will be launching another exciting collaborative project next month

5. Wonderful Web Women Birthday Competition

When we turned 1 year old a few months ago we ran a competition for members who had created success through Wonderful Web Women. Charly and Connie used this as a deadline for them to launch a one page web site announcing their new venture Stretch Your Mind and Body .

Message here: You don’t have to have your entire business mapped out and perfect. Get started. Put a simple blog web site up (Charly and Connie will help you) and then flesh it out. Again, use opportunities provided by others to motivate you. By the way, they won the competition.

6. A Challenge: An interview and chance to promote a product package

When I read their competition entry, I was so impressed with what Connie and Charly had achieved I offered to interview them. This meant they really had to think through what their new business offered. They also had the opportunity to promote a product to our listeners. They used this as a motivation to put together an incredible package that really helps people new to Internet Marketing (and in fact, experienced people as well) by supporting both the left and right side of the brain. They created videos, audio and even write a book to meet this deadline.

Message here: Take serious action. Even if you have only created something small in the past (such as the MP3 for the giveaway event) don’t let that stop you. Use the lessons you learned and THINK BIG!!

I hope this “anatomy of the path to success” will give you hope and inspiration. The path I have described above has taken less than a year. Often it is hard to see how one small step will lead to something bigger, but that first step is the most important one you will take.

Ying and Yang of Internet Marketing

Gold Member Success Story – The Ying and Yang of Internet Marketing

Next week we have a very special call that I am sure will inspire many people who are just starting out. Connie Boris and Charly Leetham first met in our Wonderful Web Forum, joined a gold member mastermind group together and concentrated on learning as much as they could from our guest speakers.

They come from very different back grounds with very different interests but they had one thing very much in common. A passion to create success on the Internet.

Next week we discover how these 2 inspiring women have applied what they have learned and combined their very different skills to create a unique joint venture.
