Do we face a global crisis or a global opportunity? Is business drying up or are there opportunities to expand into new markets? What is a nightmare to one organization is a dream to another! You just have to be prepared to respond to the opportunity. Many of the messages I receive lately and the posting I read regarding the economy and the impact that the financial crisis has had on business have a similar theme…. How is this going to impact me and my business?
The real question you should be asking is, “what am I doing to position myself and/or my company to take advantage of the changes in my market and the global economy?”….. well have you?
There is no doubt that we are in a time of tremendous transition. Thousands of workers have lost or will lose their source of employment and income in 2009. For some the thought of this is an ever growing burden, while for others it is a time of transformation and rebirth. You can not change what is going on in the global market, but you can adapt and respond to the opportunities that will bloom from this change.
If you own or manage a business you can either affect change in your organization in response to new market opportunities or you can be effected by change in the market that will leave you in a position of weakness and vulnerablilty. We all have a choice!
The most effective way to respond and adapt to any challenge is to gather and share information in an effort to develop a common strategy and plan of action that will position you and your organization to meet change and transformation head on. It was over seventy years ago during what was considered then “The Great Depression” that Napoleon Hill defined a “Master Mind” as “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”
Know one has any real idea as to the scope and impact this new economic depression will have over the next few years, but that does not prevent you from proactively positioning yourself and your organization to adapt to inevitable change.
Every Entrepreneur or executive could and should benefit from a “Mastermind” Board of Advisers, but many do not, as they incorrectly think that they do not have the time to invest or feel they lack the financial resources or contacts to create an effective team. Utilizing the philosophy of Mastermind can be an essential part in creating, developing, growing or even transforming your organization. Bssential Solutions has made Mastermind a reality for any business, any where in the world.
I have developed four unique Mastermind program opportunities to help you and your organization grow and prosper in this time of transition and opportunity.
Mastermind for Entrepreneurs Groups
We bring together business ownwers with similar goals, from similar or complementary industries and common stages of development in order to facilitate an atmosphere for ideas, innovation, support and solutions. The group meets every other week for three months and then the group will determine how often and what direction they will proceed. The size of these groups is limited to 8-10 members to maintain a strategic balance of accountability and participation. The members determine the goals, priorities and direction of the group. It is a great way to a business owner to to gain essential insight into themselves, their organization and the future of their company. Get more information…..

With Market Mastermind we bring together executives and entrepreneurs that share a specifiy industry or market (such as energy efficiency/Green industry, non-US companies looking to market products or services in US, or youth/teen related products or services).
