The first person to sign up for my virtual Mastermind Group lives on Martha’s Vineyard. She’s been a client of mine before and appreciates being connected with other women entrepreneurs who are on a mission, as she is. It had been virtually impossible for her to join my earlier groups in CT or NYC because of the travel involved.
Lucky for her, to participate in this group she will not need to hop a ferry and drive 5 hours to be in the company of others who get her. Wherever she and her computer are on Thursday nights, she can log on and SEE, HEAR and interact with this hand-picked group.
I can’t wait to see all your faces using this easy technology. I hired a guy via taskrabbit to help me understand how to use google+ hangouts, and we accomplished the task in 5 minutes–it’s that easy! Quick as a bunny!
What’ll happen in our sessions is that we will come together for three hours a night six times (there’s a bonus seventh session should you have to miss one) during which time you’ll talk about what’s really important to you. A goal that may be eluding you or a vision that needs refining.
Everyone in the group will have the opportunity to give voice to her dream. It’s important to hear what others aspire to. Nothing lifts the entrepreneurial soul like hearing a colleague talk about holding a conference, writing a book, creating a web series or an equally challenging, but rewarding mission. Following each others’ progress over the course of our time together will reinforce your goals.
During each session you’ll give and receive feedback. I can’t tell you the number of times that members of my groups hear an idea, a tip or a suggestion that alters their path forward. The level of excitement and action grows with every session as you begin to deliver on your plan. There is momentum, new information, but most important the love and support any germ of an idea needs to grow. You’ll have a new goal set at each meeting which you’ll be held accountable for at the next session. The check-ins at the beginning of each call are one of the most rewarding and affirming parts of this process.
As a coach since 2002, I’m good at hearing obstacles that may not be self-evident. I love challenging clients to try things a bit differently, or to reach higher than you might on your own. Sometimes the challenge is to simply let go and get a massage while the Universe manifests for you. My clients love THAT homework assignment, but it’s one I offer rarely, so come prepared to work hard and love the process.
With the support and inspiration of 6-8 other women business owners who have your back, cherish your dreams as much as you do, and are on a mission themselves, this is going to be a dynamic, exciting, and intimate experience. Here’s where you get to let your hair down among peers, talk about what’s really going on behind the scenes, and hear how others are overcoming their roadblocks.
Having been in my own group for over 20 years, I can promise you that you’ll leave every session more energized and committed than you were when you logged on.
What would thrill you to have accomplished by January 2014? If you can dream it, I can help you get there. Join me from wherever you are and meet a team that will change your life.
Here’s the scoop.
I have discovered my passion after staying home with my two children for the past ten years. It’s likely I wouldn’t have ever uttered this idea unless I had been asked at our very first meeting. I can’t think of a better way to make the transition from full-time mom to mom/environmental advocate. I’m in the beginning stages of realizing this dream and I have already experienced support I could only fantasize about and have felt safe enough to risk being my true self. We finish in January and there has been talk of continuing to stay connected after we conclude.
If I wasn’t already in one of your MasterMind groups, I’d definitely sign up for this one! What I love about our MM group is the support & accountability. I love being scared by a big goal that I’m then able to brag about achieving in a later meeting. I love that the other women have my back, pick me up when I fall and applaud me every step of the way. I’ve definitely achieved far more in this group than I would have on my own.
@Jen
I just love the mutuality of the group. I’m as excited about your achievements as you are, and everyone else in the group as well. I want everyone to have that kind of experience, because it is truly unparalleled. Thanks for sharing it publicly.
@Lisa
Your story is sensational, and I know that you are a HUGE inspiration to the group members and everyone who read about you when I blogged about challenging you to go to Italy NOW, and you did. It really changed everything for you, but if you hadn’t made that bold move, it would all still be a fantasy. You totally rock!
Wow ! Someone from the vineyard!
And me from Nantucket ..,, can’t wait to meet her on line … I have the same kind of predicament not being able to travel too!
I love the accountability and the incredible support of our MM group. I’m my own worst critic and negative self talker so to have support from 8 amazing women and feel validated and on the right path is such a wonderful feeling. Jane’s guidance, intuition and support also help me to think outside the box and dream big! Our sharing is on such a deep level that I will feel connected to the women in our group for the rest of my life. Amazing and wonderful experience all around. I truly do not want it to end.
@Donna
Silly me! I forgot you were on Nantucket. YOU’re the one I meant!
@Louise
It’s hard to believe that people who were once strangers can become such an integral part of your life. For me, witnessing this transformation is beyond inspirational. Thanks for being such a vital part of our Intensive.
As confident as I am in myself, it’s tough to focus sometimes. I have SO MANY things I could be doing with my business. That is the blessing of a mastermind, especially Jane’s. You have this magical, supportive group that helps you zero in on the most important stuff. You get to love up the other members, and watch them evolve, which inspires you to keep going too. Ideas flow, friendships are formed, successes come and go, failures are lived through. I don’t want to do this alone. With Jane’s magical masterminds, I don’t have to.
In 2002, I joined my first Mastermind group co-led by Jane Pollak. Since then, I have continued, throughout the years, to follow Jane’s skillfully led, goal-oriented Mastermind groups, and it has been the mechanism that has fueled my growth as an individual and a business woman over the years.
Jane possess the ability to gently but firmly challenge you beyond your wildest expectations. You grow and expand in ways you never imagined. I will caution you that if you dare to set goals in Jane’s presence, you WILL achieve them!
A every networking women’s event I attended, I would hear multiple praises from those that have worked with Jane, so since I can take a hint, I joined one of her Master Mind groups.
The energy, accountability and supportive relationships that Jane creates is immeasurable.
Thank you Jane, because now I am writing my book, speaking to more groups, and working with more clients.
@Christina
Thank you for this. It’s been an honor for me to work with you and watch your flourish.
@Sandy
It’s amazing what you have built in the years we’ve been working together. I especially commend you for bringing much needed balance (aka VACATIONS) into your life!
@Scarlett
It’s been so great having you in the group. Not anyone could have fit in as easily and quickly as you managed to, or accomplished as much and inspired as many–not to mention outfitting some members for important occasions.
