The Mastermind Group
What do you get when you put four smart, interesting people getting together to help each along the wily, treacherous path of growing a business? The magic of a Mastermind Group!
In August of 2006, I posted an article called Why your business needs a peer-led MasterMind on Mastermind Groups by Mark Silver.

Finicky paper feeds not allowed.
While I prefer to put my energy toward all the great stuff that happens, there are a few not so great things that must make it on to the blog.
