Startup Mastermind Groups

If you’re ready to get serious about growing your business, consider our Startup Mastermind Groups. Why? Because mastermind groups can accelerate your success. 

Meet online with your mastermind group twice a month, do the work between meetings, and your dream business will have a solid foundation for growth. Don’t go it alone.  

New groups form on a rolling basis. Enrollment for the next cohort is open for August start dates. Special summer pricing applies to registrations completed (including payment) by August 7, 2026. Email info@startuptogrowth.com for details about the next cohort or to join the wait list.

Tentative meeting times for upcoming cohorts are the 2nd and 4th Monday or Tuesday of each month from 3:00–4:30 PM ET. Other dates/times may be considered. Meeting times will be finalized after enrollment closes for each cohort.

Mastermind members receive exclusive training to develop a mission and vision that truly speaks to them. With that foundation in place, they turn their ideas into focused, achievable quarterly goals. Our groups are built around vision, execution, accountability and real, measurable growth.

A 6- to 12-month commitment is required, depending upon your desired outcome.

Note: If you have been in business more than 3 years and are beyond the startup stage, consider our Growth Mastermind Groups. Or schedule a conversation with us and we’ll decide together which business mastermind group will be the best fit. Reach us at info@startuptogrowth.com.

What Others Are Saying

“I am part of Robin’s Mastermind group. She is a fantastic facilitator, coming up with current content for us to discuss and really engages the group to ask for help, offer up business tips and support each other and our businesses. I have learnt from Robin, the importance of planning, strategizing, and creating and updating a business plan. MEG Connect [Growth Mastermind] has helped me work through some business challenges, helped build up my confidence as a business owner and given me access to a positive community of professionals.

What is a Mastermind Group?

As defined by Napoleon Hill, a mastermind group is a peer-to-peer mentoring group with a defined purpose. Our defined purpose is growth for business startups (from launch through the first 3 years in business.)

Our Startup Mastermind requires a serious commitment before day one. You are choosing to focus on growing your startup and yourself, which means pledging the time and resources to make that happen. No excuses. Instead, a shared promise to yourself and your team to do the work.

“No mind is complete by itself. It needs contact and association with other minds
to grow and expand.” ~Napoleon Hill

Why Join our Startup Mastermind Group?

Let’s face it, as you are starting or relaunching your small business, you can’t know everything about business and life. Don’t even try. Your Startup Mastermind Group becomes your team. As you bond and get to know each other, you will each have the other’s back. You connect with fellow business owners across the nation, share common challenges and best practices as you work within your trusted peer group, and learn from your peers and guest speakers. Working together, you will grow stronger than ever! No excuses! Don’t go it alone.

Your Startup Mastermind Group maintains a can-do environment that emphasizes learning through shared experiences, fresh perspectives, creative brainstorming, accountability and follow-through, education, support and encouragement. You will be challenged when you set your goals, helping you decide if you are asking enough of yourself or too much.

You will have the opportunity to present your startup or relaunch challenges or opportunities to your mastermind team and gain their feedback. Each person will bring their experience to the table to help you…and you will do the same for them. Your peers become your “mirror,” meaning they see things about you and your business that you cannot. And you do the same for them.

Over the course of your mastermind, you will explore with your group how to establish a solid business foundation. You will learn how to grow and strengthen your business today with greater power, flexibility, and sustainability for the future. You will work to build your business based on today’s reality and anticipated future changes, not the past.

Napoleon Hill said, “Many minds are better than one.” THAT is what Startup Mastermind is all about.

Ready to launch or relaunch – and grow – your business now? Results require action. No excuses. Don’t go it alone.

Is Now the Right Time For You to Join a Startup Mastermind Group?

Ask yourself:

• Am I tired of trying to figure out on my own how to increase profits in a steady, repeatable, organized fashion?
• Am I tired of trying to figure out by myself all the operational, technology, and financial issues I face?
• Am I choosing to dedicate this time to figure this out, grow my business, no excuses?
• Am I ready to crush fear and step into accountability?
• Can I handle transformational change?
• Can I be open to any new ideas my group might propose? For example, am I ready to expand my digital footprint or create a new product/service, if that is what *I* decide I want to do?
• Do I like to work in a collaborative, team environment, where I am helping others and they are helping me?
• Do I long for a safe place to brainstorm with fellow business owners who understand me?
• Can I listen to constructive feedback from others and not be offended?
• Am I tired of the status quo, working really hard but still not reaching my potential?
• Will I dedicate time for mastermind meetings and in-between work, time to work on my business and not just in it, so I can realize my dream?

Who Are Startup Mastermind Groups Designed For? 

Startup Mastermind Groups are designed for small business owners who are just starting out and those who are relaunching. On the relaunch side, maybe you started your business a while ago, didn’t really have a plan or support and it didn’t flourish; now you are serious about growth and ready to do the work necessary for success. You may have a client or two, or you may have zero clients! Whether you are just starting out or relaunching, you will work collaboratively with others to navigate today’s business startup challenges and actually – really – launch your business!

Group members come from the service, professional and retail sectors, are home-based or brick and mortar, and deliver services/products in-person, virtually, or through a mix of both.

NOTE: For each group, there is typically one person per industry. After an industry seat is filled, if someone from the same industry wants to join, we will handle it on a case-by-case basis, strongly considering feedback from the current industry member.

How Are Startup Mastermind Group Structured?

Startup Mastermind Group members come from multiple industries and geographic regions. This gives you access to a rich tapestry of perspectives that would be closed to you otherwise. You gain feedback on your challenges and opportunities so you can design your strongest path forward. Then they give you feedback and support…and the occasional kick in the behind…while you put your plan into action.

Each Startup Mastermind Group:

• meets for 1 hr. 30 min., twice a month, at regularly scheduled times
• is a combination mastermind and professional development group:
  • mastermind: the group functions as your ad hoc advisory board. Each member makes presentations to the group in rotation, what we call the “Golden Opportunity Seat.” You present your startup challenges or opportunities, and the group gives you feedback, resources, and fresh perspectives, uncovering areas you may have never thought of but need to consider.
  • professional development: each group decides on round table topics and guest speakers for your meetings
• has members set, execute and refine goals on a quarterly (12-week) basis throughout your time together, and the group holds you accountable

Every member is encouraged to connect with others outside of our meeting times, but it is not required.  

What Do We Work On?

While you’re planning for the next five years, you’ll work toward quarterly (12-week) goals and reevaluate progress at the end of each period. Here is only a small sampling of topics you can tackle in your Startup Mastermind as you launch or relaunch your business:      

• Define your products and services
• Decide on your target market and pricing
• Define your business model, including multiple income streams
• How to actually launch (or relaunch) your small business
• Create a solid Action Plan for success!
• Define your strategy
• Develop and execute your marketing plan
• Analyze and strengthen your digital footprint, including your website
• Always ask, What can I accomplish NOW?  How do I do that?   
• SALES! SALES! SALES!
• Always ask: What opportunities am I missing? 
• Always ask: What if? For example, “What if I do this, and what if I don’t?”
• How to leverage AI
• And soooo much more!

Part of the magic is simply in the sharing, when you realize you are not alone, that others are facing THAT challenge, too. In short, they “get it”! Group members will share their suggestions, which you can accept or not, in Rapid Round feedback. You can use that information as you decide your next steps. Sometimes you will make a list of their suggestions and think about things for a while; sometimes the solution literally pops right out at you, either directly from member feedback or from something their feedback triggers in your mind.  It depends! 

It is also important to know what we are not.  We are NOT a group where members ask each other to buy their products or services or to send them leads. Those things may happen naturally over time, and that is perfectly okay.  Or they may never happen, and that is also perfectly okay.
