The Doula Business Advisor: The Mastermind Concept
From the famous Napoleon Hill book, Think and Grow Rich, we get the Mastermind Group idea, widely practiced by groups of entrepreneur/small business owners world wide. The Mastermind concept involves bringing together diverse business owners who take turns helping each other with marketing and business development advice. Groups typically meet monthly at a set time and place and should be tightly structured. Each member brings a problem they want help with or a marketing piece they want critiqued. A timer is set and the group focuses for (however many) minutes on the problem at hand, and then they go on to the next person.
This is an amazing and cool process. I have learned so much and especially appreciate the perspectives of folks who are involved in VERY different fields than mine. It really helps for all of us to get out of our bubbles once in a while.
The Doula Business Advisor blog is designed to support the establishment and long-term sustainability of private doula businesses. Patty Brennan is the author of The Doula Business Guide: Creating a Successful MotherBaby Business.
