“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

― Margaret Mead

As a Mastermind group member, you will be placed in a group of 4-10 selected individuals who will align with what you are trying to achieve.

You will have the opportunity to participate in highly confidential professionally facilitated weekly online mastermind meetings where you will get a chance to update everyone on your progress and hurdles.

It is rewarding to meet on a weekly basis with a small group of talented and trusted people.

People who have faced (or are facing) many of the same challenges as you.

They will freely share information with you, encourage you, and provide you with accountability, support, tools, and best practices you need to move forward. They are not competitors. They are allies and collaborators. You are not alone.

It is a community where people believe with you what you want for yourself and the world.

It is all about helping you succeed at being who you know you already are. Your group will help keep you motivated and focused, so that you can develop and make good on your personal and/or professional vision. 

The meetings start with each member briefly summarizing highlights of their previous week. 

Next, 1 or 2 members will have an issue they are dealing with ‘Spotlighted’ and they will put forward an opportunity or problem they are grappling with, and the group will help them address it. Occasionally, the meeting will feature a short presentation from a subject matter expert followed by a Q & A.

The meetings always finish with members committing to their best course of action to advance things before the next meeting.

Of course, you can choose to continue on your own…but it turns out that things can go a lot better, faster and easier if you don’t.  

In fact, the American Society of Training and Development (ASTD) did a study and found that the probability of completing a goal if you simply have an idea or a goal is 10%.

However, if you make a specific accountability commitment with others this number skyrockets to 95%. 

“If you can tune into your purpose and really align with it, setting goals so that your vision is an expression of that purpose, then life flows much more easily.” 

― Jack Canfield

A Motivating Plan With Purpose

Discovering and being true to your purpose, is an important component for not only your happiness, but also for the happiness of those you serve. 

Simplified one-page personal and/or business plans and monthly KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) tracking is a powerful part of what is in store for you. Helping you find, stay clear, and act on your purpose is an integral part of everything you will experience being part of this community. 

Personal System

One of the biggest challenges you have as a person is to manage yourself and your time. Building your personal management system involves getting clear on your priorities and figuring out a way to do less and achieve more. SUN is purpose-built to do just this very thing for you.

Organizational Systems
(for SUN members that own, or are part an organization…or want to start one)

Organizations that are built with intention and systems tend to be high profit and low stress. They are easier to run, and don’t necessitate you thinking about them and being there working all the time. Imagine your company or not-for-profit at maximum performance…running like a Swiss clock. 

SUN teaches you how to embed something called the P4 Advancement System™ in your organization to help you achieve maximum performance, focusing on four fundamental objectives:

Planning Real-time strategic and operational plans that communicate a persuasive vision, prioritized goals and effective projects.

People Processes that ensure optimal: hiring, on-boarding, coaching, promotion, and demotion.

Performance Support and measurement of strategic action within clear operational plans. Continually improve the performance or your product/service.

Promotion Internal understanding of plans and progress, alongside compelling external sales and marketing.

You will be offered valuable perspective and insights, prioritized clear actions, new tools, and step-by-step plans and templates to follow to take you through your next challenge.

It takes work, but having a useful plan and systems in place is extraordinary – and it will help you attain much higher levels of growth, free up your time, and lower your stress once it is implemented.  

“Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.” 

― Amy Poehler

As opposed to the isolation you can often feel when you’re working by yourself (i.e. when you are on the road, in an airport, in your house, or at a coffee shop)…when you login to a virtual collaboration space (or join an affiliated physical coworking space)…you’ll immediately feel a sense of activity and purpose. 

Collaborating and coworking has the effect of boosting your engagement and helping you to thrive as you leave the “I’m all alone” mindset and instead plug into the energy of like-minded people who want to dream, plan, and do big things.

In your collaboration/cowork space there are purpose-built sessions and rooms where you can:

• get input on one of your projects.
• help or get help, with a task that has you stuck.
• partner with others in a “shut up and work” SAW session as you all tackle your most procrastination worthy tasks together.
• attend speed networking events.
• attend a session being offered by a expert in a topic that grabs your interest.
• take a break in the virtual common area and chill.

…or just plain work on your stuff while others are doing the same.

These spaces drive: community, accountability, collaboration, learning, and sustainability for all that come in through their doors.

“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”

―  Benjamin Franklin

Throughout the year you will be invited to attend transformational educational retreats, boot camps, study-action circles, summits, and webinars. In addition, you will have access to one-on-one and group coaching.

You deserve the best of all worlds. That’s why SUN members have access to a constant supply of programs and support to impact your mind, body, and spirit. Everything you need for meaningful success. 

Depending on whether you are part SUN to achieve personal or professional goals and dreams, you’ll receive advice, training, and guidance on things like: attaining peak physical and mental health, effective leadership, strategic planning and execution, marketing (digital and traditional), fundraising, and hundreds of other topics related to personal and organizational excellence.   

This growth-oriented education (online and in-person) employs proven practices that will help you advance, grow, and support each other to get where you want to go. 

SUN’s educational offerings cover the latest general and tech related topics across the following broad themes:   

1. Personal excellence, happiness, and high performance.
2. Organizational excellence and high performance.
3. Sales, marketing, and customer service.
4. Starting up and/or scaling a business or a not-for-profit.

Our signature yearly educational and networking event is called SUNLive and is held some place nice (i.e. think Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, etc.).

You will receive a healthy dose of support, empathy, and encouragement to get past the hurdles that life throws at you. At the same time, you will get an equal dose of cold hard facts that you need to face (facts that others won’t confront you with).

You will identify your strengths and development needs. One of the biggest priorities for you will be to develop a plan that leverages your existing strengths and improves your ability to perform.

If you choose to work with a coach, the focus will be on your current needs and an action plan. You will review progress on your plan and focus on what’s most important for you to move forward right now.

You will be offered valuable perspective and insights, prioritized clear actions, new tools, and a plan to follow that takes you through to your next challenge.

Simplified one-page plans and monthly progress tracking is a powerful part of what is in store for you.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”

These solutions all have best in market pricing and/or enhanced offerings. They have clear deliverables, have been rated by other SUN members, and come with straight forward guarantees.

So if you need help with anything…either we’ve got what you need, or we’ll do our best to help you get it. 

“At the end of the day it’s not about what you have or even what you’ve accomplished… it’s about who you’ve lifted up, who you’ve made better. It’s about what you’ve given back.” 

― Denzel Washington

The lives of  those (including the rich and famous) who have lived purely for themselves end empty and often horribly. 

It is with this in mind, that SUN members make a private personal decision to donate a portion of their personal time and resources and/or their organization’s: time, products/services, profits, or equity to causes (their own or someone else’s) they want to have a direct impact on.
