Pinnacle Mastermind Group @ Williamson Inc
2023-06-14 08:30 - 09:30
Purpose of a Mastermind Group
 A mastermind group brings together a small group of people who are motivated to take their business to a new level.
 The desired outcome of the 6-week study is to increase your awareness and understanding of how to work ON your business to help it grow in a productive, successful way.
 As we move through each lesson, we will bring together our ideas and opinions to shape and mold our understanding of the material in a way that is far superior to simply reading a book on our own. We will be combining all of our minds to becoming a master mind.
How a Mastermind Group Works
 The group meets an hour a week, once a week, for 6 weeks, using the book “The Emyth Revisited” by Michael Gerber as the basis for our discussions. Pinnacle will provide you with a complimentary copy of the book.
 The group is limited to 12 people so we all have a chance to participate and interact with each other extensively.
 In advance of each meeting you will receive that week’s curriculum and other materials.
Meetings will take place at Williamson Inc Power Room. Register by sending an email to Tiffany Jones @ tiffany.jones@pnfp.com
For questions please call Tiffany Jones at 615-744-5104
