The Mastermind

There are moments In Life When You Crave...Change.

You want your career to feel different.

You want your daily routine to feel fresh and inspiring.

You want to earn more money without exhausing yourself in the process.

You want renewal… reinvention…a new chapter.

If this is what you’re yearning to create in your life, apply for The Mastermind.

This is a transformational program
for you if:

You want to give your life a beautiful makeover.
You want to bring fresh energy into your career or business.
You want to bust out of a rut, get things moving in a new direction, and reinvent yourself.
You want to finish 2019 feeling strong about your career and step into 2020 with optimism and excitement.
You don’t want hype or noise or overblown promises (“quadruple your social media following!” “blast your income to 7-figures while working 2 hours a week!”).
You want an experience that feels profound, thoughtful, and real.
And, you want a space where you can have deep conversations about the process of building a meaningful life and career.

What to expect

Life & career design. Using “Designing Your Life” principles-developed by two Stanford University professors-you’ll redesign your daily routine, build positive habits, and become more intentional about where your time, energy, and attention is going.
Bust out of a rut. Learn new tools for getting unstuck-including Wild Writing™, a process that wakes up your brain, gets creativity flowing, and helps you see the story of your life from a new perspective.
Goal setting. Set new life, career, business, and income goals. Take action consistently. Get things flowing in the direction you want.
Time to think deeply. Each mastermind meeting gives you a chance to step away from your busy schedule, think deeply, and get clear on your priorities.
Community. Bond with your teacher and peers. Feel less isolated. Get boosted by the energy of the group atmosphere. Work with an accountability partner to be the most productive you can be.
Accomplishment. Check things off your list. Share “I Did It!” updates with the group. Feel your life take on a new shape. Feel proud of yourself with each passing week.
Powerful transformation. This 12-week mastermind takes things much deeper than my other courses, by giving you more time and support to implement what you’re learning and create powerful changes in your life.

WHAT ARE THE PROGRAM DATES AND MEETING TIMES?

Mastermind meetings are held online (video classroom) for 12 Mondays, beginning on October 21, 2019 and ending on January 20, 2019.

Weekly Meeting Time: 5pm-7pm Pacific / 6pm-8pm Mountain / 7pm-9pm Central / 8pm-10pm Eastern

The Mastermind culminates with a weekend retreat on the California coast at the beginning of February. Specific location and dates TBA.

All meetings are recorded. If you have to miss one, you can watch the video recording and catch up later.

HOW MUCH TIME DO I NEED TO SET ASIDE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS PROGRAM?

I recommend setting aside 2 hours per week for our scheduled meetings, plus another 2-3 hours per week for putting your action plan into motion and checking in with your accountability partner.

What type of “action” depends on how you want to relaunch and reinvent your life. For instance, you might be emailing people to schedule coffee dates and revitalize your professional network, exploring new corners of your city to bring fresh energy into your life, applying for a grant, working on a creative project…Everyone’s action plan will be different.

The more time, effort, and intention you put into this Mastermind, the more you’ll get out.

I NOTICE YOU RUN A PROGRAM CALLED RELAUNCH—AND YOU ALSO OFFER THIS RELAUNCH MASTERMIND. WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?

The Mastermind is a much deeper dive than Relaunch. It is twice as long (12 weeks instead of 6) and includes other features like 1-on-1 coaching (in addition to group meetings), guest speakers, and a weekend retreat.

If you’ve already completed Relaunch (and you felt sad when it ended and wanted more!), The Mastermind is a beautiful way to continue with what you learned in Relaunch, reassess your goals and plans, and build on them even further. Let’s keep the momentum rolling forward!

I WANT TO ENROLL IN THE MASTERMIND BUT I CAN’T PAY THE FULL AMOUNT UPFRONT. DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?

Yes. Email me to request a payment plan: elfondiler@gmail.com

I can set you up with a 4-month installment plan—or if there’s a different plan/scenario that you need, we can probably work something out. Please email me to discuss.
