CEO MASTERMIND GROUP FOR GROWTH & SCALING
Facilitated by a 6X Serial Entrepreneur and Scaling Expert
Only for Small Business CEOs with sales from $1M to $30M
What would it be worth to tap into the expertise of many other CEOs, and a serial entrepreneur with four exits every month to discuss your biggest challenges?
So, what is collaboration with six or more experienced CEOs worth to your business?
A Short Video on Our Exclusive Mastermind Group of Already Successful CEOs that want to hit $100M sales and 9-figure exits
- Are you a CEO, founder or President that wants to grow your business, yourself, and your team faster?
- Do you want to create a culture of high-performance and productivity?
- And “not reinvent the wheel”? Do you need practical answers to difficult challenges?
- Are your staff growing and reaching all their goals?
- Can you attract investment capital to grow at 50%+ annually?
Growing a company is one of the most complex jobs in the world. Running a company is relatively easy.
There are so many variables like competition, people problems, marketing, sales, finance, operations, product/service development, regulations, human resources, etc. And you must work on improving the business every day to grow it. No wonder only 1 in 400 companies ever reaches even $10M in sales. And only 1 in 6,300 will ever reach $100M!
Not to mention macro factors that can kill businesses through no fault of management like recessions, pandemics, leapfrogs in technology. . .
If you are like most small company CEOs, you face many tough challenges and also opportunities every day. And the burden is mostly on you alone.
Small companies can rarely afford top consultants in all the strategies and tactics needed. CEOs must “wear many hats.”. This taps into real-work experience from many CEOs. Eagales rarely flock together, but that is what this is—it is an opportunity to help and get helped by other CEOs.
You also have to balance your personal and professional life and deal with stress, uncertainty, isolation, and self-doubt. And sometimes you inherit the problems of employees and others by default.
The answer is simple: Join a mastermind group with other quality CEOs.
Some other famous business titans who used the mastermind group concept are:
- Henry Ford, who surrounded himself with other smart and wealthy people
- Benjamin Franklin, who founded a group called The Junto for mutual improvement
- Ray Hickok, who founded the Young Presidents Organization (YPO) that connects 30,000 CEOs globally- CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Charles Williams, and Owen Barfield, who were part of a mastermind group of writers and poets in England.
But not all mastermind groups are created equal. And some cost $25K, $50K, even $100K per year.
You need a mastermind group that matches your goals, current stage of company development, ambitions, and commitment. That’s why we created The CEO Scaling Mastermind Group for smaller companies with 10 to 200 employees and $1M to $30M in annual sales. This is the most critical stage for shifting a company from “seat of the pants” management to professional management systems.
What Can a CEO Mastermind Help You Accomplish?
Tony Robbins emphasizes the concept of “modeling” and mentorship as a strategy for achieving success more rapidly. The key is to identify individuals who have already accomplished what you aspire to achieve and replicate their strategies.
The idea is not to reinvent the wheel but to learn from those who have successfully navigated similar paths. By adopting proven methods and leveraging the wisdom of those who have gone before, you can streamline your journey toward success.
Richard Branson is involved in The B Team. A global initiative that brings together business leaders who are committed to using business as a force for good.
The B Team aims to catalyze a shift from business as usual to a new way of doing business that prioritizes people and planet alongside profit. Some of their goals include achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, ensuring 100% renewable energy, and ending deforestation.
And Elon Musk uses this technique less formally by assembling top teams of experts when he formed Space X, Tesla, Solar City, Open AI, and The Boring Company. And he drove his ability to learn many things far more rapidly, ever rocket science.

Members will be at the same company stage of growth with the same challenges. And no one will be competitive.
And they are already successful by most anyone’s standard—but they want more and are committed to constant learning and growth.
This CEO Mastermind Group is an exclusive community of CEOs from companies ranging from $1M to $30M in annual revenue.
These are CEOs who are serious about growing their businesses and themselves. They are willing to share their best practices, their challenges, their wins, and their lessons learned. A confidentiality agreement will be required.
THE FORMAT IS FLEXIBLE AND MAY EVOLVE. IT WILL BE DETERMINED BY THE GROUP
As a CEO in the 1990s, I chaired the Small Business Administration’s CEO Dialog group, gaining valuable insights. The CEO Mastermind follows this format, with flexibility for evolution and potential expansion.
Each session is facilitated to ensure that everyone gets value from the meeting. The format will be open to evolution, but the intention is to have 50% hotseat, including quick brainstorming on key challenges, 25% networking, and 25% open discussion to start. Hot seats are where one member presents a challenge or opportunity and gets feedback from the group. Each member gets a window for that too.
We will also introduce guest speakers and experts, case studies (where one member shares a success story or a lesson learned), guest speakers who will share their expertise on relevant topics, and open discussions where members can ask questions or share anything they want.
The group will agree on an agenda every six months on core topics and a schedule of member hot seats where we all act as an “informal board of directors” to address current challenges. Every meeting will have an opportunity to share a problem and get quick solutions too.
Ideas drive innovation, but only experience can implement these ideas well and generate enterprise value and return for the stakeholders.

This CEO Mastermind Group is Not for Everyone. Application is required. It is only for CEOs who:
- Have at least $1M in annual revenue and less than $30M when joining
- Are committed to growing their business by at least 20% per year, even 100%+
- Are willing to invest time and money in their own personal and professional development and do this for their staff. Frankly, if you do not do this, your company will be capped at slow growth and even size.
- Are open-minded and respectful of other members’ opinions. What works for some does not work for all.
- Are ready to give as much as they receive, actively participate and listen
- Will commit to attending the majority of 90-minute sessions twice a month. Times will be reserved three months in advance and on a regular schedule. We will start on the first and third Wednesday at 6pm ET, 6 p.m. CT, and 3pm PT, but the group will decide.
NO COST FOR INITIAL MEETING
After that, there will be a fee for each six- to twelve-month renewal period. Vistage charges over $10K for annual membership; some groups charge $25K+/year. It is our goal to be a fraction of that cost without their overhead. This may be as low as $2,500 per year. This will barely pay the facilitator, support the group, and provide quality facilitation, content, and communications. We will also use an online blog to share experiences and questions between meetings. And provide recordings for a limited time after each session when life and business get in the way for a specific date.
