Business Growth Mastermind Group

– starts Feb. 10, 2019

 

We conducted in-depth research with small business owners recently, and the biggest challenges that came up were:

1. How to grow the business
2. How to market the business most effectively
3. How to have employees who think like owners

Benefits of the 8-week Business Growth Mastermind Group:

• Business coaching from Jay Zaltzman to help define business growth goals and keep on track to achieve them (Jay has been advising businesses large and small for the past 20 years)
• Learn how other small business owners deal with similar challenges, and what has worked for them
• Many heads are better than one: benefit from mutual advice from the whole group

The Business Growth Mastermind Group will meet via Zoom web conference once a week on Sundays from 9:30-11am Pacific Time (12:30-2pm Eastern).  The group will meet for eight weeks, starting February 10 and ending March 31, 2019.  In between meetings, we will have a closed Facebook group for participants to check in, ask questions and provide advice.  The following curriculum outlines the focus for each of the eight weeks:

Before we start: One-on-one session with Jay.  To make sure we hit the ground running, Jay will meet one-on-one via Zoom with each participant to discuss their business growth goals.

Week 1: Define growth goals.  Where is the business now and what is your long-term goal?  What’s preventing you from getting there?  And what are the steps (short-term goals) you need to take to get there?

Week 2: Time management.  How to avoid being overwhelmed?  Do you have to do it all yourself, or are there better options?

Week 3: Marketing and advertising.  With so many different options, do you have to do them all?  How do you choose what’s right for your business?

Week 4: Finding and nurturing great employees.  Hiring, firing, incentivizing, and company culture.

Week 5: Customer experience.  How small businesses can have an advantage over larger companies.

Week 6: Your online presence.  Your website, Facebook page, etc.  What can be done in-house and what is worth outsourcing?

Week 7: Social media marketing.  What to do if you don’t have a nephew, daughter, etc.

Week 8: Making it happen.  What have you accomplished so far?  What’s the next step?  Where do you go for support?

In-between sessions: Facebook group.  For mutual support.  Recordings of our meetings will also be available in the Facebook group.

The cost to participate is $900 and group size is limited to ten participants.  However, I am offering a discounted fee of $300 for Catalysts!  Please click the “pay now” button to register or contact Jay Zaltzman with any questions – info at bureauwest.com.

Here are some testimonials:

In one session with Jay, I was able to identify and create a step by step plan to help me launch my (somewhat complicated) business. He alleviated stressful ideas that I had been holding onto for years around giving up, failure, guilt and hard work. Although he is a joy to speak with, you can count on Jay to deliver honest and clear feedback whilst identifying your strengths. He is the perfect example of professionalism and vulnerability. With Jay’s work you can clearly see the connection between business and passion!

I am branching out in my personal business and have been stuck. I had the privilege to work with Jay as a coach and he helped me a great deal. He is incredibly easy to talk with and challenges you to push through areas that are holding you back. He helped me identify some things that were keeping me stuck and gave me new ways of viewing the situations. I continue to use the strategies that Jay suggested and they have helped me move my business forward. Jay is incredibly knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend him.

I met Jay at a time in my life when I was navigating through many challenges, both personal and professional. He is an astute listener with the innate ability to help distill what you are really trying to say through all the noise in your head. Some important takeaways were:

-Your gut telling you something isn’t right sometimes tricks you into thinking you’re “just being lazy”

-Helped clarify that “having many ideas” isn’t going to help unless you put thoughtful, actionable steps in place.
