Mastermind groups promise high-value connections, strategic insights, and personal growth. But in today’s day and age, are they still worth the investment? In this episode of What Worked For You, host Frank Iglesias sits down with business coach and author Jeremy Shapiro to explore the real value of masterminds.
Jeremy breaks down what makes a mastermind effective, how to choose the right one, and why they can still be a game-changer for entrepreneurs. He emphasizes that not all masterminds are created equal; some offer incredible opportunities, while others may be little more than expensive networking events.
The conversation highlights how leveraging the right mastermind can help business owners avoid common pitfalls and accelerate growth. Jeremy explains that surrounding yourself with experienced peers can lead to better decision-making, increased accountability, and new business strategies. More importantly, he discusses how a mastermind can shift an entrepreneur’s mindset, helping them transition from working in their business to working on it.
Frank and Jeremy also tackle the financial cost of Masterminds. With many masterminds requiring substantial investment, entrepreneurs must assess their goals before joining. Jeremy shares practical advice on how to evaluate whether a mastermind is worth the cost—considering factors like the caliber of participants, the structure of the group, and the tangible outcomes members have achieved.
Ultimately, this episode reinforces that a well-structured mastermind can be a huge driver of professional and personal success. However, like any business investment, due diligence is key. Jeremy’s insights help listeners determine whether a mastermind is the right step for their journey and how to maximize its benefits if they decide to take the plunge.
