The Community of Wedding Innovators Mastermind is for the heart centered wedding planner looking for the perfect combination of business strategy, accountability, and peer support all on a foundation of balance and continued personal growth.
As a wedding planner
do you struggle with
being a lonely entrepreneur?
- Work by yourself all day (or for someone else all day and work alone at night)
- Other planners in town see you as competition
- Your spouse doesn’t want to talk about weddings
- Your friends have corporate jobs and don’t understand
- You work long hours on weekends
- Never feeling like you truly belong anywhere where people understand your hopes and dreams
So who do you share with? Who do you bounce ideas off of? Who do you go to for resources so that you can move quickly on an idea?
If you’ve been thinking about how you can really grow your business, and have fun all at the same time then this is the opportunity you’ve been looking for- a mastermind group designed exclusively for wedding planners by Ciara Daykin, of Rockstar Wedding Planner.
Napoleon Hill, author of Think & Grow Rich, states: "Analyze the record of any person who has accumulated great fortune, and many of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and you will find that they have either consciously, or unconsciously employed the MasterMind principle."
What Happens in a
Mastermind Group?
Members gather together in person and virtually via e-mail/phone to
- Provide support
- Provide ideas
- Provide inspiration
- Provide accountability
- Provide networking opportunities
- Provide joint ventures/referrals
Masterminding changes your life. The group provides a community of like- minded peers where it is safe to share your ideas and look to them for support as you take big leaps of faith in your business. A mastermind group is a source of the "good energy" you need to stay in the mindset you need to grow your wedding planning empire.
Did you know that you’re the combination of the 10 people you associate with the most?
Not that your friends aren’t great, but are they pushing you towards success? Can you go to them with entrepreneurial issues and get more than just a puzzled look?
When you’re part of a group that is gathered together for the sole purpose of excelling their wedding planning businesses your energy shifts towards that goal as well. It’s like running a marathon…. it’s pretty hard to run against the pack!
It’s amazing how fast the members of a mastermind can excel forward. The group effort of encouragement, motivation, resources, and ideas keeps the members moving toward their goal quickly and it also keeps them accountable to the rest of the group.
Whenever you have a question about needing a resource you could just ask your mastermind group. If you’re about to take a big leap of faith and move forward towards your passion and purpose you’ll know that it’s safe to share how you’re feeling with them and get encouragement and support.
Imagine that you’re dealing with a tricky situation with a bride … wouldn’t it be great to consult with a group of other wedding planners, where you knew it was safe and confidential, and who could provide you not only with a solution but perhaps even an opportunity!
It may sound like it’s simple to get a group together like this but there are 5 key elements to a successful mastermind that must be in place:
1. Mentor to lead
Masterminds that come together under the leadership of a mentor are 10x more successful. The mentor provides the group with a focus and streamlines their efforts. A mentor also provides one on one coaching to really dig deep with the individuals in the mastermind and help to bring their best potential forward.
2. Organization
A mastermind group needs to be incredibly organized and without one sole person to do that it falls on the shoulders of the members who should instead be focusing on growing their businesses.
3. Accountability
In order for a mastermind to be successful and for the members to really strive for success as though there is no safety net they need to be held accountable. The mentor provides the structure for this accountability.
4. Open and Willing Participants
A group is only as good as its participants. The mentor reviews applicants for the mastermind and determines if they are indeed ready to get serious with their business and play big.
5. Investment
To get the most out of a mastermind group you need all the participants to actively mastermind. You’d think that having the opportunity to grow your business so quickly everyone would be participating like crazy. Maybe at first but without a financial investment the personal investment usually falls short. When there is an investment in a group like this the participants are serious and they want to get the most out of the mastermind.
Nowhere else can you find a mastermind group that’s exclusively for wedding planners where you’ll receive one on one coaching, intensive masterminding opportunities and inspiration.
This is the original mastermind group for wedding planners.
How Can I Participate?
