WHAT IS MASTERMIND NETWORKING?

Mastermind Networking is a unique combination of a brainstorming mastermind group and a networking group – creating an effective and efficient community where you can get great ideas and meet excellent contacts – all in one place!

Collaborate events provide a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and have intelligent business focused conversations with other business owners.  With a focus on creating a comfortable environment for these conversations – business owners are able to exchange valuable experience with one another – enabling everyone to move forward more effectively.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER GROUPS?

Most networking groups are set up almost exactly the same as one another.  The focus is completely about referrals – and there is often pressure to provide a “quota” of leads on a regular basis.

At Collaborate we believe the only reason you should give a referral is because you 100% believe it will be a good fit for both parties.

As soon as there is a requirement or pressure for referrals and “leads” – quality can become questionable very quickly.  For example, have you ever been involved in a referral group with someone you wouldn’t even refer to your worst enemy?  Yet because they are part of your group it’s your “obligation” to support this person.  It simply isn’t a good model for quality introductions and referrals.

In addition to not forcing referrals or pressuring our members to make introductions – we focus on the bigger picture of running a business.

Collaborate meetings are all about exchanging ideas and leveraging each other’s experience for the sake of the greater good.  We don’t have member presentations – we have group discussions about business issues.  

So regardless of your industry – there is always value to attending our events.

HOW DO THE MEETINGS WORK?

Collaborate meetings are designed to be focused, effective and efficient.  We have a specific business topic each month – and we provide a structured environment where everyone can participate in group conversations about the topic.  Meetings are designed to ensure everyone has an opportunity to contribute to the conversation – and we have even designed a comfortable platform to share business challenges and gain input from other members.

Regardless of the topic – and regardless of your industry – anyone attending a Collaborate event with an open mind will leave with new ideas and new business relationships.
