Mastermind Groups - Learning, Encouragement, and Fun

After almost two months since attending NAMS in Atlanta, I finally have time to upload some pictures. There were about 150 people at NAMS and around 80 of them were members of Lynn Terry's Elite Mastermind Group. Lynn booked a room at the hotel for an Elite reception one evening, complete with food and drinks. As you can see from the photos, a lot of high profile marketers are members and we have a lot of fun when we get together. As an online group, we help one another to grow our Internet businesses, giving encouragement and motivatation when needed. Lynn is always there as a loving mother of her little flock. The result: one big family feeling.

Using a Virtual Assistant - What Could YOU Delegate?

At some point, we all realize we can't do everything ourselves. When that happens, it's time to start thinking about hiring the services of a Virtual Assistant. My life has been so much easier since I started working with my VA. She does all the techie things I can't do, keeps me on track, motivates me when I get discouraged. If you're wondering how outsourcing could help you, here are some of the tasks that can be delegated to a VA: * Responding to customer e-mails and phone calls * Scheduling business and personal appointments and interviews * Bookkeeping: invoicing clients, receiving and paying bills, reconciling bank statements, tracking expenses and tax records, working with your accountant * Internet research and fact checking * Planning travel for speaking engagements and seminars * Maintaining newsletter and customer mailing lists * Managing website and newsletter ad sales * Handling registrations for teleclasses and workshops * Maintainin...

Jet Lag and NAMS 4

Okay, it wasn't a jet, but I did take a 747 to NAMS. And yes, I've been back for a week now. But it takes me a while to recover so you won't get all the juicy details for a bit longer yet. All I can say is I took loads of notes, hung out with some amazing people, and wish they didn't live so far away. I learned a lot and really enjoyed the sessions with Bob 'The Teacher' Jenkins, Karon Thackston, and Kathleen Gage. Of course all of the presenters were great, but those three I got the most from. And I had a 15 minute consultation with Mark Hendricks as well. The last NAMS I didn't think I had anything to discuss with him, but this time I forced myself to sign up. I was super nervous, but he was very easy to talk to, and he actually liked my idea for a membership site. I'll talk more about that another time. Once I get my notes organized, I'll give you my top ten takeaway points. Now the challenge is to do them, not stay in learning mode. So ...

Our Mastermind Progress

I mentioned in the last post that I was going to be involved in a mastermind group to help promote one another. So far we have met once on Skype and twice on a teleseminar. These are my observations so far: Our Skype meeting was a lot of fun, but didn't accomplish much. I don't use Skype often and the others did only for one on one text chats. When the first two members got on Skype, it was fine, we could see and hear one another well. As soon as someone else entered the call, the video capability was lost. Once four of us were on (member number five couldn't attend that day) it was hard to hear properly. There was a lot of phone interference and we kept getting dropped from having a group call. We finally gave up and called it a day. The next two sessions we've used a teleseminar service. I have a free trial for InstantTeleseminars so we used that. The advantage here over freeconferencecalling.com is that there were local phone numbers for the American members of our...
