The monthly GKIC chapter meetings have become the perfect “TIME OUT” session needed to be able to re-access our gameplan as a company. All to often, the day-to-day operations fly by and you work hard, but a lot of times not much is accomplished marketing-wise. The chapter helps keep us in check and focused on our marketing goals

Rantings of Just Some Mastermind Members

I've been a member of the Cleveland GKIC Mastermind Group since it's beginning back in November of 2006.  All I can say is Wow!  I am an experienced marketer and have been for many years, but in all of those years I've never had the opportunity to hand my sales material to a group of people that can quickly and accurately tell me what I need to change.  They amaze me!  In a matter of minutes they make me realize that it doesn't read the way I intended it to.

As a single-person company it’s very easy to get caught up ‘in’ the business and lose focus on where you’re going. My local chapter meetings keep mm focused on what’s really important to make my business a successful. I’ve been involved with other business groups, but never have I experienced the level of practical help this group of professionals brings one another. There’s isn’t one meeting I haven’t walked away from without at least 2 or 3 useful ideas I can implement and see immediate results from. These meetings really recharge my motivational batteries and I wouldn’t think of missing them.

Dan,

Being a member of your mastermind group for 4 months - all I can say is WOW! Since starting my own business you and that group has changed everything I thought about how to market my new business. I did my first product launch and got astounding results thanks to the mastermind and your expert guidance. It’s been great to have you watching over my shoulder, guiding me to get results and the mastermind members sharing their collective business advice. The greatest thing about mastermind is that everyone comes to the group with one purpose – to help someone else succeed. Your teaching, experience and guidance makes our mastermind group worth way more than what I pay – I just didn’t want to tell you that but it really is priceless!

Yours in Hospitality,
Karen L. Monath

Dan,

You have my permission to use this testimonial.

I've been a member of the Cleveland GKIC Mastermind Group since it's beginning back in November of 2006. All I can say is Wow! I am an experienced marketer and have been for many years, but in all of those years I've never had the opportunity to hand my sales material to a group of people that can quickly and accurately tell me what I need to change. They amaze me! In a matter of minutes they make me realize that it doesn't read the way I intended it to.

In these meetings we honestly and openly help each other, and the help we give and receive is priceless. Not to mention all the other things we learn. Life changing information is exchanged at every meeting.

When I first considered joining the group I quickly did the math in my head. $319 divided by 30 days a month, comes out to $10.63 a day. Which means that I only need to increase my business income by $10.63 a day to benefit from attending these meetings.

$10.63 and a day! At the very first meeting they showed me where I could find an extra $72,000 a year in my business. Now, thanks to their help and input I'm working on a strategy that could add as much as $240,000 a year to my business!

Yes, those are big numbers and I'm not asking you to believe them. I just want to ask you a question? With a payback of only $10.63 a day why would you not join this mastermind group? It's by far, one of the best investments I made in my entire life.

Dan,

It was a pleasure to meet you and hear you speak. I've attended many a meeting such as this before I had actually started my own business and it never failed to be a dissapointing experience for me. Everyone always seemed so fake and the opportunities so fabricated.

Last night was just the opposite. I was so glad that I found the time and made the effort to attend last nights event and to have the chance to meet you while I was there. Your banner you had hanging up, in which you state that the entrepreneur is the loniest person in the world, is so true and this is why I am so glad to have met yourself and some of the others who attended last night. It's great to be around like minded people to know you really are sane when everyone else in your life is trying to convince you otherwise.

I was so impressed with everyone and felt so comfortable with the situation, that I signed up for the offer last night and look forward to attending the next meeting in September, as a matter of fact, I can't wait. Hope to have a minute to talk with you while I'm there.

Hi Dan,

I wanted to send you a email thanking you for booking dates on my radio show here in Cleveland,Ohio.

The last 2 shows you did where so informative and provided great resources for my listners. "The Home- Based Business Show" which I do live every Weds. is growing every week. I know your shows Nov.28 and Dec.12 will be two more great ones. I have enjoyed so much our growing relationship and have benefited from the principals of marketing you bring. I have called you the "Greatest Unknown Resource" here in the Cleveland Akron area. But I believe so much in what you do and the incredible tips have provided so much value to business owners that I would like to offer you an ongoing monthly spot on my radio show. The chapter meetings have been excellent as well. I would like to help you grow the local chapter meetings because part of what I like to do is bring to the listners the best of the best. And you definately fit that billing. The GKIC material is excellent, and you bring it to the businesses and make its application easy to understand. I have enjoyed a growing realtionship with you Dan. You are a professional. I know we have gotten 2 more sign ups with your first 2 shows and I am sure that number will go up. I know your schedule is very busy, but I hope you will consider coming on my show regularly, if only for a while. Thanks so much for your time and what you bring to the business world.

Sincerely,

Dale Stefancic

Dan Cricks,

Being in your Mastermind group is one of the smartest investments I've ever made. Nothing gives me the "Kick in the pants" I need more than being huddled for a full day with grizzled marketing veterans... and being held accountable to this group. Reporting on the actions I've taken... and cowering in shame for inaction.

It's amazing how "fresh eyes" can make a struggle disappear! Besides... the ideas I get every month to "steal and distribute" are priceless!

Anyone who has an opportunity to be in a Mastermind group, should jump at the chance NOW!
