What is a Mastermind? Mastermind groups offer a combination of brainstorming, education, peer accountability and support in a group setting to sharpen your business and personal skills - it helps you navigate through challenges using the collective intelligence of others. A mastermind group helps all members achieve success because they challenge each other to set strong goals, and more importantly, to accomplish them. The group facilitator engages members to dive deeply into discussions, provides training and expertise and works with members to create success.
How is a Mastermind different than a course or conference? When taking a course or attending a conference, learning and interpreting the content is up to you. You need to determine how the key takeaways can best be utilized and implemented within your organization – there is no accountability, no road map, and no support system to make sure you achieve success. With a mastermind, you work directly with experts in your field who help you create a plan, implement it, and act as catalysts for growth, devil’s advocates, and supportive colleagues who will push you to achieve success and overcome challenges. A mastermind requires commitment and a willingness and openness to share and receive advice and ideas from others.

Family Businesses MATTER!

Family businesses account for 64 percent of U.S. gross domestic product, generate 62 percent of the country’s employment, and account for 78 percent of all new job creation.
The greatest part of America’s wealth lies with family-owned businesses. According to the US Census Bureau, family firms comprise 90 percent of all business enterprises in North America.
More than 30% of all family-owned businesses make the transition into the second generation. 12% will still be viable into the third generation, with only 3% of all family businesses operating at the fourth-generation level and beyond.
Why this matters for your school...
Students, parents, and alumni are struggling see the ROI of their tuition dollars - especially with 4-year private schools.  Enrollment is down, endowments are suffering - schools need to step up their game and address what students, local businesses, and their communities are looking for.

Chances are your students and alumni will work for or in a Family Owned Business in their lifetime.
