With mastermind season here and more coaches than ever, most people choose based on shiny marketing and end up disappointed (or worse). In this episode, I share the painful $74,000 mastermind mistake Lori and I made 8–9 years ago and the lessons it taught us about how to choose the right mentor, the right mastermind, and the right room. I also break down the three questions I now use to separate real operators from the scammers and the inexperienced. Tune in to learn why retention rates are the ultimate truth serum, why you must talk to both current AND former members, and how to dramatically increase your odds of a massive ROI on your next coaching investment.
Save your ass and save your wallet.
