Business Owner/ Manager- what about your Business Model?

When was the last time you really had an in-depth session to analyze your business model, when you had the opportunity to assess it, get feedback on it, see how it looks from the outside?

This is exactly what we did at a recent "DunetzMastermind" meeting and…the room came alive! There was one brave soul who came clean with talking about his business model- that is in straight talk "how I make money". In fact he was pretty certain he had it down pat, that this is the way "everybody does it", the so called informal "industry standard", and so on.


From here on you can imagine where the mastermind discussion went, it did not stop only with how much money, when to take it and how to build client commitment. 
Once we made sure that the egos where checked at the door, the discussion drilled down to how this individual, a valued and appreciated long-time member of the group, set boundaries, set goals, saw himself, believed in his product, believed in his abilities, how he started, preserved and managed relations…

You see, friends, once you have the right setting for the mastermind (and this takes work, skill, experience and authenticity of all), almost anything you bring to the mastermind will automatically generate true value.
And if you are in business and are not checking up, in and around your business model the chances are that you may have fallen asleep and are bound to find yourself way off the track you may have thought you were on!


As we say in our neck of the wounds, "When was the last time 10 supportive and professional others thought with you, for you, were there beside you and behind you for ….YOU!? THAT is what we do in the mastermind….don't forget your relationship with your business model!
