What is a Mastermind?

Think of leaders you admire. The one thing that propelled them to achieve their level of success was participating in a mastermind.  In the book, Think and Grow Rich, by Napolean Hill, he described a mastermind as: "The coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between a group of people, for the attainment of a specific purpose." When a group of like-minded people come together, they create an unseen, powerful force.

I participate in several masterminds every year and my business would not have grown as quickly or successfully without them. 

I'm thrilled to offer you the opportunity to become a Founding Member of:

The Creative Business Mastermind!

Here's what you'll experience

Support, Insights and Accountability in the shared pursuit of excellence.

How does a Mastermind work?

As a Founding Member of the Creative Business Mastermind, you'll get the inside track. You not only get exclusive access to me, but more importantly, you'll be in a group with like-minded creatives who come together to share their own knowledge and unique perspectives. 

Founding Members of the Creative Business Mastermind get:

  • 9 monthly calls with teaching, guest speakers and small group breakouts
  • One-on-one sessions every other month so that you make progress on your personalized roadmap
  • Debriefs from the masterminds I'm in that cover what's working now in launching and marketing
  • An exclusive What's App channel for communication and support between the monthly calls
  • A private FB group for engagement and networking

We'll start with strategy first and then dive into how to implement each key building block in your business to achieve the success you desire.  

As a Founding Member of the Creative Business Mastermind, you'll learn:

  • How to define your "why" along with your personal non-negotiables
  • The product "pyramid" and unique customer journey that you offer
  • Goal setting and how to map out your year to achieve them
  • Different methods for launching products, workshop, course or membership online
  • The importance of growing and nurturing your email list
  • Content rhythm and consistency
  • How to attract and nurture your right fit client with the best "opt in"
  • The numbers! It's not all about top line growth. Running a profitable business ensures long term success.
  • Social media - what to focus on and what to ignore
  • Managing "all the things" without overwhelm and burnout
  • Marketing - understanding what it means to embrace "sales as service"

Are you ready to surround yourself with creative entrepreneurs who "get" you and will support what you're trying to achieve? I participate in several masterminds every year and my business would not have grown as quickly or successfully without them.

Investing in Yourself

It's critical to have the right mindset when you're considering joining a mastermind. These are precious environments where you're "in the room" with people who are interested in learning the BEST and most EFFECTIVE techniques to grow their creative businesses.

The masterminds that I'm personally in cost between $10K and $25K. 

I realize making that level of investment in yourself and your business is scary. But think about what this makes possible for you.

Your investment in the Creative Business Mastermind 2024 is $10,000.

The mastermind runs from January through September each year.

Once you've been accepted into the program, there will be several options to pay for it. 

Hello there! I'm Anne LaFollette.

Why am I creating a mastermind program?

If you've been in my #annesuniverse, you know that I spent 25 years in corporate jobs until, out of the blue, my boss fired me. I lost my entire identity in that split second.

It's taken me 5 years to pull myself together and create a new purpose for my life, which is teaching people like you how to lean into your creative passion and create a successful business that brings you joy and serves the broader creative community.

Every year since creating and launching my own online creative business, I invest over $30,000 every year on education and mastermind programs. 

There's nothing like the power of being in a group of like-minded people, who are working towards similar goals, to propel you forward with new ideas, and a shared sense of purpose. 

I'm excited to launch my own Creative Business Mastermind to share everything I've learned with you. 

Scroll down and apply today! I can't wait to learn more about you. 

xo,
Anne
