I love mastermind groups, and how they create the space to support and learn from fellow business owners. They come in all shapes and sizes, paid and unpaid, and illuminate ideas and questions we might not always find simply from reading books and attending conferences. Today, I’m sharing some of the forms these groups can take, and how you can initiate powerful small-group connections with other professionals.

Key Takeaways:

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on mastermind groups — invite peers at a similar level
Be the one to curate cool peeps and send the invitations

⭐️ Permission: Invite people you admire from your industry to a small-group round table, virtual or in person, even if you’re not sure if they’ll say yes.

⭐️ Do (or Delegate) This Next: A Brilliance Barter (an exchange of 30 minutes each of insight and advice) — even better, join us in BFF!

🔗 Resources Mentioned: Jon Levy, Dorie Clark, asynchronous communication apps: Voxer, Marco Polo
