introducing a new concept: your own masterful thinking...

Introducing a New Concept: Your Own Masterful Thinking Partner

You know I don’t do many seminars, anymore. You may not know that I used to do group

mentoring programs with groups numbering 3,000 members. I stopped doing all that.

But now I spend considerable time exploring promising, actual business projects with major

operating businesses. Most of the rest of the time I’m engaged in extremely high-level

conversations and interchanges with truly – some of the most diverse array of mammoth thinkers

out there. This week, for example, I talked with a famous executive coach who counsels CEO’s

of $20+ billion dollar international corporations.

Then, I spent an hour talking to a man people like heads of Wipro and Infosys, spend seven

figures to talk to. Then I talked with a famous, international expert on how people become more

impactful in selling, leadership or negotiation skills. Then I talked with the head of a famous

foundation formed by a wildly iconic billionaire – whose been featured on 60 Minutes.

Then, I talked with the former CEO of Adidas and Speedo/Central America. Then, a man who’s

started three technology companies and sold them for monster paydays. Then, a prominent

online media maven. Then…well, you get the idea.

I’m blessed that my day-to-day life is steeped deep (and wide) in such a broad array of divergent,

intellectual discoveries and understandings. I doubt – due to both my access and Herculean

curiosity that many others would gain ever-reaching similar access. Now let’s agree I am NOT a

Warren Buffet or Richard Branson. But in MY circle, I suspect, that my experience and access is

impressive!

Well, recently THAT got me thinking. I believe there’s a huge place – a gap, if you will – that

exists and is NOT being filled – for a new concept in “performance enhancement”: I’m calling it

your “Masterful Thinking Partner,” because it’s modeled (in my mind) after a profoundly deep

discussion I had recently with my colleague, Robert Hargrove. For those unfamiliar, Robert is

the creator of the concept of masterful coaching, creative collaboration. He’s written definitive

books on the subject.

Anyhow, Robert and I were discussing ALL the possible factors, forces, issues, implications,

impact points that could positively (or negatively) affect a business and its leaders. I realized (in

something of an epiphany) that there was something far bigger than mere situational consulting.

Something far bigger than goal-based coaching. Even something bigger than mentorship.

I call it a Masterful Thinking Partner – because, well, that’s literally what it is. You have a

person you talk to at key intervals. But not only does he or she address, guide, counsel, direct or

advise you on key issues you’re stuck about.

He or she introduces, explores, explains, identifies, uncovers, exposes, examines, interprets,

forecasts all kinds of other monumentally impactful factors, forces and facets of your business

and/or personal life you’ve never known (or grasped) to either ask about, recognize or realize

was holding you back (or propelling you forward) -- personally or in business.

The more I thought about having a Masterful Thinking Partner, the more intrigued I became.

Not a lot out there on the subject. But what IS out there doesn’t really take the concept down the

same, diverse “expanse” of understanding and direction I’m thinking that it could be.

Now, before I go further, I need to underscore that in MY vision of what a masterful thinking

partner can do (and mean) --- and add to your life in business is – well, it’s unimaginable.

However, to you it will represent either THE most powerful propellant of success and growth

you may ever plug into – OR the biggest waste and frustration.

Why? Because – again, in MY vision, you must be extremely open-minded, exceptionally able

(and eager) to better see how different forces and factors affect tangible performance outcomes.

You need to be willing to discuss whatever is on your mind – but also to allow your Masterful

Thinking Partner to take that conversation wherever IT needs to go – which could be unexpected,

certainly provocative, and very shocking sometimes to embrace. (Think “tough love.” Think

“unvarnished truth.”)

In other words, having a master-level, Thinking Partner means opening your mind (and intellect

and emotions) to “drink-up” a newfound array of discussion issues --- that you very probably

don’t expect or haven’t ever thought about addressing before.

It reminds me of what Socrates did -- and I believe the right type of people will grow and evolve

geometrically from these discussions. Their business could utterly explode-upward! But the

wrong person will be stymied, angry, frustrated, confused. It actually is NOT well-suited for any

highly linear-type minds.

Nor is it recommended/appropriate for someone who thinks that some tactical idea will solve

ALL your business and personal problems. THIS dynamic is very fluid, strategic, very

interactive. It’s, well – it’s unlike anything else. It’s unclassifiable…Hard to fully describe.

I’m intrigued enough, about this concept to explore doing MAYBE one experimental, small

group “beta-version” -- just to see how well it plays out. I’m someone who loves to “play out”

cool “performance-enhancement” ideas. I also have no problem dropping it IF there’s little

interest on my reader’s part.

How to Wield a Sharper Business Mind Than Your Competition

What I’m going to talk about is impossible to categorize. It’s all about bringing a shrewder

intelligence, a more penetrating depth of understanding to how you think about your business

and self.

It’s about stimulating “mind-rattling,” idea-popping epiphanies almost on a daily basis. It’s

about using the power of your mind to utterly demolish your business rivals. It’s about using

your intellectual power to master a peerless understanding of your market and marketing.

It’s about knowing what to do (and why) in a clarified way that no others can match. It’s about

refusing to let the tumultuous economy or ruthless competition define or control you.

It’s about becoming a far more savvy analyst of all the forces, factors and issues that affect your

business performance. It’s about recognizing a glorious level of rarified understanding that fuels

unimaginable achievement.

It’s about thinking so powerfully, masterfully, successfully --- that you totally infuriate your

competition.

I’m talking about learning to think in a way that creates a virtual demolition derby for your

competition. About seeing opportunities and options in ways no one else does --- or can.

I’m referring to being able to deftly explore (and examine) the complexities, implications and

stimulations of your business and marketplace --- through a lens of understanding few can

possibly equal.

I’m alluding to being capable of deftly “exploding” a constant, never-ending flow of masterful

inventiveness, turning your business into a fierce (and formidable) force to be reckoned with.

We’re talking about gaining the ability to move farther and faster --- and more profitably than

you ever imagined.

It’s all about burnishing and tempering your mental strength into a steel-trapped, advantage-

gaining selling/marketing mental machine.

I’m referring to gaining the ability to reinvent and renew your business in some totally

remarkable, fascinating and hugely profitable ways. I want to turn on, then turn up your greatly-

underutilized thinking skills. Give your mind a radically different way to operate.

I want to invite you to join me on a provocative, 90-minute, “open forum” Discussion Session,

where I’ll explain what I have in mind (no pun intended, here).

I believe there are almost NO business problems that can’t be solved (and resolved) by thinking

differently about the problems, possibilities, issues, opportunities, market opposition/competition

and suppositions everyone out there, yourself included, is balancing.

I promise to be forthright about my vision and purpose on this session – and, that we’ll explore

together many (heretofore uncharted) topics when we talk on this conference call.

Join me for 90 minutes of stimulating, provocative discussion. See if you resonate with my

logic. Also, there’s a most interesting document I’ve put here that, I think you’ll find

illuminating.

Everything is explained at http://abraham.com/thinkingpartner/.

Tennis Players Do It. Baseball Players Do It. Why Not Business

Owners?

Interestingly, my wife plays tennis. My son plays football and lacrosse. My other son plays

guitar and piano. Still another sails. Still another is preparing for college.

All five take lessons, classes, tutoring or class-specific instruction to improve their game, correct

their weaknesses, grow their skill/mastery. Fast forward to high achieving basketball players.

They have shooting coaches. Defensive coaches. Free throw coaches.

My friend, “über-famous” author Harvey Mackay STILL has a speaking coach. He STILL uses

a skiing coach. He still works with a tennis coach. The man is remarkably vibrant, still

outrageously “steel-trap” minded at nearly 80!


So I got to thinking. If everyone else continually works with instructors, tutors, coaches, why

shouldn’t/couldn’t you? Except knowing what to be coached on is probably more difficult than

it sounds.

So I thought, “Why couldn’t I create a proficiency-building, skill-building, performance-

enhancing, self-evolving lessons and “work-out” drills and mental exercise sessions – each

specifically designed to help smaller entrepreneurs (who couldn’t afford my private, one-on-one

rate) – gain meaningful improvement, in whichever individual areas of marketing strategy,

business building or belief systems you may be struggling with most, right now.

That got me to realize what you really needed wasn’t just a static, tactical coach. You need a

masterful thinking partner.

I’ve been involved (in my rather expansive business life) with just about every type, kind and

form of instructional, educational, knowledge transference process (or program) or person out

there…everything and everyone from seminars, conferences, distance learning programs,

mentoring programs, coaching programs, consulting programs…with everyone from Tony

Robbins to Brian Tracy. From Tom Hopkins to Rich Schefren. From Deming to Donald Moine,

you name it, I’ve probably helped engineered it, conceived of it directly or indirectly, rendered it.

Hotseats – I did THEM first in 1986, when no none else knew how they were done.

Masterminds – we did THEM for industry groups in the mid 80’s. Marketing makeovers? We

did business problem-solving seminars and interventional makeovers back in 1992.

Teleconference calls – we did them first before anyone in ’89.

My point? I’ve seen maybe…not “everything,” but a LOT of things that deliver

factual/fractional business improvement. But the one thing I HAVEN’T seen done very well (or

even at all) is providing entrepreneurs with expansive thinking and clarifying discussion and

paradigm-shifting, idea exchanges that outright “work-out” issues and actions that hold you/your

business back.

I’m envisioning something highly interactive, that fully engages your mind in a series of fresh

thinking and meaningful exercises, reshaping processes and presents newfound

conclusions/insights that you’d never achieve anywhere else – or anyway else. I’m talking about

engaging openly in “hot potato,” mind-rattling discussions -- so you have to grasp and gain the

full power and implication of what’s being uncovered and discussed.

That stated – and knowing so many smaller businesses out there don’t know as much about all

the specific impact or leverage points in their business (and in their minds) as they want (or

need) to – I’ve got the urge to experiment with a six month “test” of a concept I’m evolving ---

focused squarely on helping YOU think through your options, opportunities, actions and issues

more fully.

Each group session would be highly individualized to each participant -- and “zoom-in” on just

what pivotal issue you need to better grasp, and leverage up.

I’d be doing these high impact, non-theoretical, highly-actionable “Thinking Sessions,” because

you probably need an enormous array of more insight, understanding and knowledge. Yet -- no

one else out there seems willing to provide it, or provide it in the more “totalistic” way I’m

envisioning.

So I’d probably conduct sessions twice a month. I’d probably explore a stunning array of

meaningful issues you’ve rarely considered. I’d do all sessions myself, this one time – but I

Thinking is What Drives More Success Than Anything

OK, let’s take off the gloves and discuss something provocative – yet self-evident: the more you

think, the more successful you are.

But it gets bigger and better:

The more you think about (and around) an issue – assuming you have depth of understanding

and experience – the more compound, geometric success you achieve.


But there’s a rub. The vast majority of people owning businesses – few have the breadth and

depth of understanding, experience, diversity of perspective and dimension of comprehension, to

think strategically and interactively about all (or the most critical) issues that could most

powerfully impact their business. (Time and reflection are the most valuable assets you have –

yet few people maximize either.)

I’ve come to believe that there’s a huge place in the business “performance enhancement” arena

to create an organization of masterful thinking partners -- who can regularly discuss major issues

with entrepreneurs, large and small.

My thinking here is, that we all know what a consultant does – they focus on situations or type-

specific issues. You know that a coach typically asks you what your goal is, and then works

backward with the result in mind to help achieve it. Better, but still somewhat very limited.

You may NOT realize that a true mentor is someone with extensive experience who shares

his/her perspective with someone. That is MUCH better. But still, it’s usually focused on issue-

specific situations.

But a “Masterful Thinking Partner” -- at least my idea/vision of a masterful thinking partner -- is

someone so vast in their perspective, experience, understanding, perception, perspective, grasp

AND VISION --- that they can transcend merely talking to you about specific issues you think

are important…

A masterful thinking partner challenges, pushes, pulls, cajoles, inspires, provokes you into

thinking differently, to think deeper, to think more conceptually AND concretely. They get you

thinking about things you do…and things you don’t do. They pose questions and challenges

you’ve never thought about before. They evolve your understanding, look at implications,

correlations, aberrations that you never contemplated before.

A masterful thinking partner makes you think deeply, connectively, divergently/convergently,

conceptually, internally/externally, diversely – about a wide array of (heretofore) unrecognized

issues, topics, factors, forces, paradigms, ideology, etc. you’ve probably never considered before.

They look at the complete dynamics behind everything you do – not just the what, but the why

and the how.

They cause you to stop and reconsider EVERYTHING from your strategy, approach, attitude,

business model – action, activities – everything! (It’s that big picture, 50,000 feet overview

you’re frequently lacking.)

They don’t limit their discussion and inquiry to ONLY your business. They CATscan examine

you as an individual – since everything affects (positively or negatively) everything else. They

help you think meaningfully, purposefully, powerfully about anything and everything that

counts! They grapple with the negative ‘real or perceived’ and help evolve them into positives.

A masterful thinking partner possesses extraordinary life experiences, extensive comprehension

of real-life business situations, scenarios. They know what’s possible. They grasp the options,

opportunities, possibilities and threats/dangers in whatever it is you do.

They grasp intuitively (as well as intellectually) all that’s going on --- as they force you to face

your issues, confront your demons, recognizing your strengths, shift your paradigm.

Bottom line – they function in an almost Unclassifiably, Invaluable way. IF executed right, the

beneficiary is the entrepreneur. Your payoff from thinking critically -- all the time -- is

unimaginable power, perception, performance.

I tend to believe that (for the right entrepreneur), having a masterful thinking partner could

produce the missing link --- to propel your performance upward dramatically.

But I’m not sure. I AM certain that someone who’s highly linear-minded and rigid of

perspective would find a masterful thinking partner highly unpleasant. (You wouldn’t embrace

the clarity.)

But, someone with a sense of possibility, someone not wedded to tradition. Someone flexibly-

minded – someone open and EAGER to gain clearer, more profitable, reflective insight,

integration, understanding and halogen-bright guidance – YOU’D love what (I suspect) a

masterful thinking partner could do for you and your business.

I’m eager to explore this concept more deeply. If you’d like to explore it with me – read the

longer “musing” on the subject I’ve posted at http://abraham.com/thinkingpartner/.

If, after reading it, you’re still stoked – join me for one of the three, 90-minute Discovery

Sessions I’m willing to conduct --- to see if it’s an idea you’d like to personally experience.

If you ARE still motivated AFTER we all talk through the/my concept – I’ll consider organizing

just one “beta” test group that I regularly think with---via either group teleconference or webinar.

Interested? If so, great. If not, it tells me there’s little or low interest. Either way, I’ll be

fascinated.

Blaze Yourself a New Trail – Maybe, If I’m Right!

Can I “challenge” you to explore with me a more intelligent – arguably a more deftly effective

way to navigate the business waters you’re swimming in today?

I want to talk about giving you more “smarts-and-perception.” About turning on (then UP),

your creative juices. I want to show you a powerful (yet little focused-on) way to reinvent your

business.


I’d like to try and prove to you the worth of this new way of doing things --- by showing you

actual once-struggling (and now staggering) business examples that used this strategy to explode

past their restrictions.

I want to show you how to become relevant to your market – Luck or harder work aren’t the

answer. A form of “smart work” IS.

In a world that seems to depend on how smart you are, it should prove liberating to learn that

there’s a different/better way to “leverage-up” your mind.

This could prove a great moment of discovery for you and your business. It could redefine

everything you do successfully from now on.

If your business seems stuck, or your fortunes have stalled and/or your financial performance is

in a steady slump – I may have a way you can win the battle for your prospect’s time and

attention.

I suspect what I have to share will prove incredibly energizing and you’ll start looking forward to

harnessing its full power and force.

I didn’t actually set out to smash stereotypes when I conceptualized this solution. But the more I

evolved (and examined) its powerful impact, the more empowered I started feeling.

If you crave a new challenge -- that’s potentially the answer to your problems – please join me

for a stimulating discussion, 90-minute “open forum” next week. We’ll explore a highly

unconventional way to look at things.

Blaze Yourself a New Trail – Maybe, If I’m Right!

If your business seems stuck, or your fortunes have stalled and/or your financial

performance is in a steady slump – I may have a way you can win the battle for your prospect’s

time and attention.

If you crave a new challenge – that’s potentially the answer to your problems – please

join me for a stimulating discussion, 90-minute “open forum” next week. We’ll explore a highly

unconventional way to look at things. I believe there’s something about your mind’s working

and the workings of your competitor’s mind that everyone else has missed!


Can You Learn to Think More Brilliantly/Profitably?

Starting from scratch, I contend that you can learn to master high-performance, “critical

thinking” in six, short months – or less! The goal here is to super-charge your mind to see more

fully, deeply, connectively – all the profit possibilities your business can achieve.

I further believe that I can pre-test people to actually predict your probable success -- at seeing

more options, opportunities and possibilities than your competitors even imagined. That does

not mean the process I’d put you through is easy. But it will definitely shift your paradigm.

The working process we’d use is actually quite exciting, since it’d be totally interactive, totally

situational, totally focused on actual participant’s real-life business scenarios.


My aim in doing this is to teach you how to leverage your mind to make your business more

profitable, particularly by seeing restrictions, limitations, obstacles you never recognized before.

Then, I hope to help you develop a sustainable ability you never possessed before: How to see

through obstacles and focus on maximizing opportunities. “Critical thinking” is (to me, at least)

the single, most decisive “performance enhancement advantage” an entrepreneur can possess,

today.

I see a monster gap in the way most entrepreneurs think. It’s linear, reactive, limited only to

whatever you’ve personally experienced. Anything else you learn about – from business books,

seminars, magazines, online – it’s all theoretical.

I see a need to nurture and nourish your ability to think more divergently, rather than

convergently. By learning to look at all the implications, correlations, causations that impact

your business results you can set your business above the competition, set your mind apart from

how every other competitor thinks or looks at the market opportunity.

Why is THIS important? If no one else thinks the same way as you, start thinking, more

divergently, more critically, more proactively – guess what? You accelerate and dramatically

multiply your business’s performance against everyone else, e.g. run rings around the maddening

crowd.

Thinking more masterfully increases performance, multiplies results, reduces failure rate…why

is that the case? Think about it.

If you can out-think your competition, you can out-sell, out-market, out-perform, out-position,

out-compete them all…Can you REALLY learn to out-think everyone you compete against?

No guarantee. But I believe I can transform “suitable” entrepreneurs into mammoth critical

thinkers in six months’ time or less! Am I promising to place infinite wealth and wild success at

your fingertips in the process? Maybe. But maybe not!

There are numerous adjustments you’ll want to make in how you start seeing your business life.

You’ll need to shift belief systems, reset your arc of focus and depth of reflective investigation.

You’ll re-question nearly ALL your assumptions. But fundamentally IF you’re suitable for my

process – I’m confident this New Slant on thinking CAN be taught to you.

You cannot imagine how much more penetrating, liberating/illuminating this newfound way of

thinking can be. Knowing what you could start seeing and perceiving, I sincerely pray YOU

learn this process and not your competition.

I cannot imagine competing in the future WITHOUT knowing how to think more masterfully.

Converting your mind to grasp the more granular world of forces and factors that drive ALL

positive or negative results is – well, it’s totally empowering.

When you learn to think differently, you’ll actually self-challenge everything you’ve believed

was reality in the past – including the self-imposed limitations, restrictions and hurdles.

You’ll see how to set your company on a path and performance trajectory so elevated from

everyone else, it’ll seem dizzying. You’ll learn to avoid the majority of mistakes,

misperceptions, misinterpretations.

You’ll learn how to access near sage-like understanding, unflinching accountability, penetrating

insight, 360o perspectives, full-balance perceptions, clarity of vision – you never possessed

before.

A New Slant For Businesses That Have Slowed Down

Over the last few months I’ve become more keenly aware that business owners are searching for

a more potent strategy to “counter” their own economic slowdown.

I feel an “economic reality check” is necessary, IF your business’s growth has slowed. I suspect

you’re less optimistic and more cautious right now in anything you consider.

I am not going to suggest something outrageous-sounding. That creates exaggerated

expectations. But I DO have a thought -- that could alert you to better ways to do things.

High-flying, miraculous transformations aren’t what I’m promising here. So, “grip” yourself for

a discussion, based on less euphoria --- and more reality.

Nevertheless, if your business seems stuck and your growth rate has stalled – consider joining

me next week for one of the discussion sessions I’m hosting. We’ll explore and examine

(together) a highly logical-seeming alternative strategy I’d like to introduce – for powering

forward.

If this is turning into a tougher year than you’d expected, the future may pale in comparison IF

your performance results dramatically drop any further.

I believe I have a solid way to refuel your performance and get things back on track --- to the

dizzying heights of possibility that seemed so reachable, such a seemingly short time ago.

If you’ve developed a profound distaste for the people offering “quick-fix” solutions and crazy

tactics that DON’T perform – I can promise -- I won’t take that attitude on THIS discussion call.

Wanted: 100 People Whose Businesses Are Stuck, Stagnant, Stalled

Share with me 90 minutes of quality discussion next week. We’ll explore – together -- a

provocative new “thesis” I have forged -- about WHY many (perhaps most) businesses are stuck,

stagnant, stymied.

I need to see if you (and enough other quality entrepreneurs) agree with my premise to justify a

bold and (admittedly) audacious concept I’m entertaining.

The quality of the people responding will ultimately determine the impact of the “Powerhouse

Solution” I’m going to be discussing on the call.

I can’t tell you whether I’m right or wrong in my supposition -- or IF my solution for being stuck

makes sense or not. But I CAN promise I’ll fully explain my idea, walk you through how it

might favorably affect YOUR business performance, explain the varying levels of positive

impact it could have on differing types and categories of business situations you’re facing.

Also, I’ll explore what difficulties (or dangerous side effects) my “solution concept” might have

IF the wrong people try it.

Consider THIS Discussion Session a combination self-selecting “reality checks” by both sides.

I’m merely going to offer a highly “non-traditional” solution to solving some serious sales,

marketing, business-building problems and challenges you’re facing.

I think you’ll appreciate its value MOST if I demonstrate its power during that call. So, expect to

be either monumentally impressed – or…severely disappointed.

How Much More Could YOUR Business Achieve, If…?

What Could a Masterful “Thinking Partner” Help Your Business

Accomplish?

It’s the problem with most small business owners, entrepreneurs and professionals. Definitely,

the problem with nearly every start-up out there is you possess limited experiential knowledge:

You only know what you know!

By that – I mean you are the sum total of your real-life/real business experiences and

observations, plus – whatever outside information (i.e. books, seminars, trainings) you’ve

pursued.


Unless you are a rare individual, your life/business experience is probably somewhat limited –

either because you’ve spent most of your career in just one or two industries. Or – because much

you’ve learned from your own self-studying is (unfortunately) theoretical.

It’s not your fault. In fact, it can actually become a huge business advantage – IF you capitalize

on the very real fact that you are NOT alone. Nor are you unique. Very nearly EVERY other

business owner in whatever field you’re in – and virtually every other start-up -- is in the same

limited experience/limited understanding “boat” as you!

Where does this become a competitive advantage for you? – you’re probably thinking! Here’s

where:

When you plug into a masterful thinking partner – meaning someone extremely worldly, diverse,

and expansive in business – someone well-skilled in dealing with real-world, day-to-day issues

(like finding prospects and clients) – selling them more of your product and services. Getting

repeat sales, referrals, etc…

Or – dealing with very challenging, competitive issues…like having limited or non-existent

capital. Or – things like…not knowing how to create good or effective marketing. Or – not

having enough (or any) support staff. Or, not having the technical prowess to harness the

“supposed” business wealth that social media promises.

A masterful thinking partner becomes your ultimate business collaborator. They don’t own

equity. They may or may not share profits. But they serve as a unique combination of

advisor/teacher/guide/muse/sword-and-shield/problem-solver/strategist/rainmaker/positioning-

“forger,” reality checker – and loads more, just for starters. It really represents the ultimate

business super asset!

A true “Masterful Thinking Partner” is far more than a coach, far different than a short-term

specialty consultant. He or she is a combination mentor/maven/munificent sounding board.

They’re a “font” of near-infinite wisdom, a source of answers, solutions, possibilities, failure-

avoidance. They’re a protector, a performance enhancer and a maximizer, opportunity

achiever…and much, much more.

A masterful thinking partner literally helps you think through issues, scenarios, problems,

practical situational scenarios you and your business face right now, tomorrow and into the

future.

They hold you accountable, they challenge your thinking, they are an early warning system.

They are your own private futurists. They are your beacon of clarity. They are your moral

compass. They are your source of new ideas. They are your connection to breakthrough ideas.

Interestingly, there are many world-famous examples of thinking partners producing masterful

achievements together in a wide spectrum of fields:

Barnard Branch, the counselor to the great wealthy in the 1920’s

Peter Drucker, the mammoth “brain trust” to the captains of modern-day business

W. Edwards Deming, the “Father of Optimization”

Regrettably, few smaller to medium-sized business owners have a good (let alone, great)

thinking partner they can turn to frequently, continuously – both for specific issues they,

themselves are grappling with – But also for recognizing major pitfalls, challenges,

imperatives/implications/impasses they didn’t perceive --- that can positively (or negatively)

affect their business’ future/performance.

Why am I telling YOU all this?

Because I sense YOU don’t have a masterful thinking partner you turn to, regularly. I especially

doubt that you have a masterful thinking partner you talk through your critical concerns,

challenges, frustrations, problems, goals, objectives, hopes, dreams, fears and/or possibilities

with.

I did something two weekends ago that got me thinking – ironically, about how important having

a thinking partner could be, should be – MUST BE…for anyone like you, who’s trying to

navigate and circumnavigate through all the obstacles, hurdles, thorns and challenges that being

in business today produce.

If you’ve got someone great to continuously turn to, talk to – think things out carefully with –

then, disregard this.

But if NOT – I’m seriously considering creating a group of masterful thinking partners that you

personally can plug into.

But first, I want to organize a diverse, “breakthrough beta-group” of different types, sizes and

challenged businesses – everyone from start-up to professional, from service to manufacturing,

from pure online to pure offline. They’ll cross industries, cross ideas, cross

experiences/perspectives.

And, I want to personally function – at least temporarily – maybe for the first six months -- as

your actual thinking partner.

Now, obviously, for me to do that (with you) myself, poses a multitude of problems. First –

access/availability. Second – pricing/affordability. Third – frequency and consistency.

Whenever I conduct a beta version of any new idea/project/concept, it’s always going to be

somewhat imperfect. But here’s what I’m thinking might make sense:

1.) I organize a smaller group of you to experiment with and I serve as your master thinking

partner, at least for the next six months

2.) We do it in groups, not once, but twice-monthly, to keep you following through.

I know that’s not perfect. But it does give you access and immediacy – I’ve done some rather

impressive interventions and course corrections (or marketing makeover) breakthroughs in an

(seemingly unimaginable) 5-10 minutes-before, at places like Tony Robbins’ Business

Breakthrough $10,000 programs. When I was younger --- we did talk radio shows all across the

country, where I’d do 25 breakthrough interventions in two hours. I did 88 separate

interventions in three hours for a high-performance group of entrepreneurs recently.

So, I think this could work. Is it perfect? Of course not. But it’s better than anything else out

there, right now.

The best part – for you, at least – is I’m more intrigued to see the impact, outcome and positive

implications that a regular series of thinking sessions with someone like you can make over six

months’ time.

So, I’m going to charge a relatively modest -- per person fee -- for the six month experiment.

But also, I’m only going to offer it to promising people I want to include in the experiment,

whose business is (maybe) more financially or competitively impacted than others.

But there’s a rub. Typically, I’ve done 2,000 people in my group conference call-based

mentorship programs. But for this experiment, I only want, maybe, 100 people-max. But I’d

want to choose a broad representation of business spectrums to “field” the group.

For this experiment, I’m far more interested in diversity than I am making a big profit. I’ve

pretty much abandoned trying to work directly/personally with smaller businesses. I’m actually

NOT planning on doing it-again, on any type of regular, ongoing basis.

However – for purposes of validating (or invalidating), my premise – which is that having a

masterful thinking partner dramatically improves success and multiplies financial performance –

I want to personally conduct the first, six-months of experimental, group sessions.

If I’m right – and it works (to whichever segment or segments of the group turn-out to be more

directable, impressionable, impact-able), I’ll then recruit a team of high-level “thinking partners”

to conduct all future groups. But I’ll build it into a major advisory-type business, too!

So, if you feel that having a masterful thinking partner (in this case, ME) to bounce ideas,

problems and opportunities around with twice a month--in a likeminded group setting--might be

a huge “plus” – let’s talk. Also, if you think spending 5 minutes every other month briefly, but

deeply talking with me privately might inspire, motivate or reinvigorate your paradigm,

performance and sense of possibility, let’s talk.

I’m holding an open forum – (think “Town Hall”)-type discussion, three separate times next

week, approximately 90 minutes each. On those calls, I’ll outline my vision. I’ll share my

intended process. I’ll discuss what I want to see happen with (and for) any beta group

participants I accept. I’ll make an open invitation to anybody to at least apply. Again, last group

we did had 2,200 participants.

Summary:

How Much More Could YOUR Business Achieve, If…?

What Could a Masterful “Thinking Partner” Help Your Business

Accomplish?

Unless you are a rare individual, your life/business experience is probably somewhat

limited – either because you’ve spent most of your career in just one or two industries. Or –

because much you’ve learned from your own self-studying is (unfortunately) theoretical. Very

nearly EVERY other business owner in whatever field you’re in – and virtually every other start-

up – is in the same limited experience/limited understanding “boat” as you!

Where does this become a competitive advantage for you? Here’s where: When you plug

into a masterful thinking partner – meaning someone extremely worldly, diverse, and expansive

in business – someone well-skilled in dealing with real-world day-to-day issues (like finding

prospects and clients) – selling them more of your product and services.

A masterful thinking partner becomes your ultimate business collaborator. A masterful

thinking partner literally helps you think through issues, scenarios, problems, practical situational

scenarios you and your business face right now, tomorrow and into the future.

I especially doubt that you have a masterful thinking partner you talk through your

critical concerns, challenges, frustrations, problems, goals, objections, hopes, dreams, fears

and/or possibilities with. So, if you feel that having a masterful thinking partner (in this case,

ME) to bounce ideas, problems and opportunities around with twice a month—in a likeminded

group setting – might be a huge “plus” – let’s talk. I’m holding a forum – (think “Town Hall”) –

type discussion, three separate times next week, approximately 90 minutes each. I’ll share my

intended process.
