The Effectiveness, Transformation and Magic of a Mastermind

[00:00:00] Jamie: Today, I want to talk about the absolute magic and transformation that can come along With being inside of a mastermind and I’m not just saying any mastermind It’s got to be the right mastermind for you. It has to feel really aligned for you But it is so Powerful what can happen when you do get yourself inside of one when it does feel aligned Oh, my goodness.

[00:00:29] I’ve seen this and witnessed this with my clients because I have actually been running a mastermind. My mastermind is called the Soulful Six Figure Mastermind. And I’ve had it for, I’m going on, this year is the fourth year that we have it. And I’ve done several rounds. I don’t even know at this point, I can’t count how many groups I’ve had, how many different cohorts.

[00:00:52] But it has been amazing to witness the growth of the people who have come inside and [00:01:00] those who have stayed in it and done the inner and outer work around it and had that community support. Magic. It’s magic. It’s magic. It’s magic. And it’s actually, if you all, have you, um, read that book, The Success Principles, by Jack Canfield?

[00:01:18] Good book, by the way. It’s like an OG manifestation book. Um, so, Jack Canfield is actually, He’s considered the number one success coach in the world. He has over like 65 books. You know, he, he’s the one who wrote all the chicken soup for the soul books and has written tons of books on manifestation and on success and runs workshops and all the things he’s been on Oprah.

[00:01:41] Um, one of my favorite books, just because it’s so foundational is his book called the success principles. And one of his primary success principles is get yourself into a mastermind. Now, why does this work? I even think about it energetically, right? Because the [00:02:00] people that you surround yourself with matters.

[00:02:05] It matters so much. In fact, I always say if you surround yourself with the right people, with the right mindset that are also aligned with like where you’re headed, right? And they have alignment with like who you want to be and what you believe about yourself and where you want to go. When there’s like this camaraderie within a group of people who are all kind of working towards the same thing and in this positive mindset and, um, manifesting together and working through obstacles together.

[00:02:36] What happens is you actually have to do less mindset work yourself because just being in other people’s energy. What I have even personally found is that I take on new thoughts, right? I take on new beliefs. I take on new ideas. I mean, I even noticed this whenever I met my husband and got married, right?

[00:02:57] Like so many of the things that, you know, [00:03:00] he had believed about money. I just naturally started taking on and I realized, oh my gosh, I. I literally started believing in myself more when I got with Josh, because Josh believed in me and he held that belief. Right? And he, he, he had a much more abundant mindset at that time when we started dating, which was what, 13 years ago at this point.

[00:03:22] And I just started taking on some of his beliefs. They just, it’s just because the people that you’re around the most, like you naturally. Just, you know, unconsciously kind of take on the belief systems of that. So that’s why being in a really strong and sacred and positive container with support, with love, with community, with connection, it makes All the difference.

[00:03:51] And you’ll find that you don’t even have to do as much work on yourself when you’re surrounded by that energy. So that is why I [00:04:00] think it’s really, really powerful to get yourself into a mastermind. That feels aligned, right? And on top of that, it’s just as entrepreneurs. It can feel so lonely, right? Like we’re, especially, I don’t know, depending on what you do, but I’m like behind a zoom screen all day.

[00:04:18] I’m behind the computer and there is nothing like being surrounded by other people who are doing the same thing where you’re like, Oh my gosh, I thought this was just me. Oh, you have the same thing. Oh, you have the same thought, right? It can be so supportive to come together and just. Yeah. not feel so alone.

[00:04:34] It feels so much more, I think, joyful being around others, right? Especially when you’re with the right group. So it was really important that you find the right mastermind for you, of course. Um, but I wanted to talk a little bit about mine and, um, it’s the one, like I said, it’s called the Soulful Six Figure Mastermind.

[00:04:55] And I’m going to tell you about how it is. And I’m going to fruition, how [00:05:00] it manifested and what it’s been like, what I’ve seen within my clients who have been inside of it. So, first, let me tell you how it got started, right? It actually came from a vision. I truly believe it was a manifestation that came to life because the way that it all came together was so divinely orchestrated.

[00:05:22] And the first launch that I had just went so well. It didn’t. feel hard. It felt like a really joyful creation, which is always a good thing when you have a new offer that just feels so aligned. And you’re like, have this vision for it, right? It doesn’t feel as hard to sell when you’re just in love with the idea of it.

[00:05:43] So let me tell you about the vision that came to me. It was back in 2021. When I had my, uh, my coaching business. So I was doing two things at that time. I was doing one on one coaching and my practice was full. I had a wait list. I was working mostly with [00:06:00] coaches, um, and service based entrepreneurs and, you know, really working.

[00:06:04] They were all working on kind of the same thing on growing their business. working on their money mindset, working on their money stuff. Cause that’s my specialty, of course. Um, and I found that, you know, I would have 13 clients at a time. That’s what was a max for me. And that’s what felt good to me. Um, but all of them, like, I felt like session after session.

[00:06:23] I’m like, Oh my gosh, that’s what I was just talking about on the last call. That’s what I was just talking about on the last call. And I started thinking. What if I just brought all these people together, right? I was like, first of all, my clients are awesome. Like, I really do. Not to toot my own horn. I don’t know.

[00:06:39] I energetically just attract the coolest clients ever. I really, I’m in love with my clients. That has never been a problem for me is having misaligned clients, at least since I got in this niche. Like, obsessed with my humans. Um, but I, I was thinking, what if I brought all of them together into a group?

[00:06:57] Like this was the first seed that was planted and [00:07:00] I just coached all of them together. I’m like, first of all, I think they’d be, they’d first of all, love each other. Second of all, they’re all in such a similar place. They’re all working on the same things. It was like, and then I’m coaching, then I could coach them.

[00:07:13] And right. Like, Let me say that one more time.

[00:07:30] Then I thought, you know, I can coach him and get so much more out of it. Right. So anyways, that’s what kind of like I started thinking about it, but the idea scared me because it felt very expansive. And I was just like, kind of, you know, it was an identity shift. It was like, wait a minute, who am I to be a mastermind?

[00:07:45] You know, have a, have a mastermind. Am I there yet? I don’t know. It didn’t, you know, it’s one of those things where when we move from something we’ve been doing for a while into something new, it feels so much more was a little bit of like impostor syndrome of who am I to do that? [00:08:00] So I didn’t move forward with it initially.

[00:08:02] But what I let myself do was just play with the vision of it. And I kept thinking about it. I was like, gosh, you know. How cool. What I basically thought about was I want to create the mastermind that I wish I had or the mastermind that I wish I was in. So I thought, what if I blended like all of the amazing transformational teachings that I learned studying spiritual psychology for all those years?

[00:08:31] Blended with the community that I had there, right? Because that was such an incredible, life changing experience where I really felt like soul connected, not only to that work, but to the people there. Like, it was an incredible community, and I loved it. Having a community so I really had that vision of like what if I brought that Into the mastermind where i’m teaching the tools that I learned in spiritual [00:09:00] psychology that have changed my life Mixed with setting this intention to have it be a very soul centered soul connected community where everyone just like Loves each other that gets along Where it’s very supportive.

[00:09:14] It’s not one of those places or one of those masterminds where you feel it’s kind of catty and everybody’s kind of competing with each other, which I’ve only heard about. Right? That’s not been my experience, but I’ve heard about that. And I’m like, no, that is not what this is going to be. Right? What if it’s just a mastermind that feels like.

[00:09:31] You know, soul sisters all together or soul friends. And, um, and then I had also the vision of, and what I’d also love to do is bring in high level coaching. I want to coach the heck out of all of them. Right. Because I am a master certified coach and I feel like that is my zone of genius. Right. Like I can get to the root of something and like.

[00:09:53] 10 minutes and really help them shift it. So I wanted to bring those teachings from spiritual psychology and [00:10:00] blend it with some ninja mindset coaching, you know, consistently throughout the entire time where they could have lots of access to me, where they could really get coached when they wanted to get coached.

[00:10:11] coached. Um, and then I also thought I really also want to bring all of my favorite things like the energetics of money and manifestation and business. I love business. I have been an entrepreneur since I was about 21 years old, right? And I just love business and I’ve studied business. So I wanted to kind of blend all of this together to help my clients grow their business in a way that feels super aligned to them.

[00:10:43] My vision for the mastermind was not a one, two, three step process that you all have to follow, right? And fit yourself into this box of what works. It’s more of, Hey, I want to help you customize. What works for you. I want to [00:11:00] help you really get to know yourself, get to know your soul and your purpose and why you’re here and what gifts you really have, what your specialty is, what you are really good at and what way of business you are really good at.

[00:11:16] Right? Because it is you. Different for everyone. So I, this was never intended to be a strategy mastermind where it’s like, these are the things that you have to do, which those are great, right? It’s really great to go get those foundations or do courses on that or learn that stuff. But that’s not what my vision for my mastermind was.

[00:11:36] It was way more like, Hey, let’s figure out what works for you. Let’s get you in alignment with your business. And it’s really about. What is the energy that you are working from in your business, right? So it’s very much about the energetics of business because for me personally that is what I have found to work Work [00:12:00] that is why my business has grown right?

[00:12:02] It’s been like 10 percent strategy Of course, I have to learn that kind of stuff because you’re growing a business you need some foundations But I swear to you doing the inner work is what has really allowed my business to take off And that’s what I was seeing with my one on one clients like the more that they did the inner work the mindset work Um, some of the manifestation stuff and the spiritual principles that I teach, it was like their business started growing because when you do the work on your inner self, the outer changes, right?

[00:12:34] That is how it works. So that was my vision for my mastermind. And when I had that vision, it lit. And I decided, finally, to take courageous action and I just decided to go for it and to launch this mastermind. And honestly, I wasn’t even attached to it. I remember hiring a copywriter to help me with the sales page.

[00:12:58] I was like, I would just be [00:13:00] so happy if even 10 people came in and she’s like, Jamie, you’re shooting low. She’s like, I can see 20. Like, let’s, let’s max it out at 20. Right. And it’s had evolutions ever since it started. But I do remember thinking, I don’t really care. It would just be cool. Even if five people came, I don’t care.

[00:13:16] Like, this is just something that I am going to love doing. I can’t wait to teach this stuff. I can’t wait for people to be inside of it. And first time I launched it, I had such an overflow of applications that I decided to break it into two different cohorts because I did still want to keep it intimate and high touch and I wanted to be able to coach everyone and I wanted to be able to give that one on one support.

[00:13:41] If someone wanted to write in and get written coaching, I wanted to have access to that, right? So I broke it into two different cohorts and it’s been incredible. So I want to tell you more about it.

[00:13:59] [00:14:00] Okay, let me reset. Instead, let me say this. So I want to tell you what I noticed happening because I would say at least 90 percent of my one on one clients, I had told them, Hey, I’m not going to be one on one coaching anymore. I’m starting this mastermind, but I think you would love it. Like I’m literally creating it for someone just like you.

[00:14:22] You’re going to love the other people that are inside of it. it. So about 90 percent of my clients came into the mastermind. And, um, what I found was when they moved from one on one into this mastermind container, they even got better results. Things started happening even earlier. faster. What’s so cool, and this is what I am talking about whenever I say mastermind magic is that when you are in a group coaching container or a group transformational container, here’s what’s so cool.

[00:14:58] I witnessed this every week. [00:15:00] You will come and you’ll watch someone else get coached or someone else have the hot seat, someone else working through something and you’re going to notice Holy cow, that is something I didn’t even realize I had but I so see myself in them Oh my gosh, the exact same things coming up for me I didn’t even realize I wanted to get coached on that or it might be hey That’s what I was gonna get coached on right?

[00:15:22] But you watch that other person get coached and you’re really able to take it in on a whole new level It’s like there’s no resistance. You’re not You know, it’s not as involved. So you’re able to really take in the coaching. So even yesterday I had a client because we had our mastermind call and she was like by the time we got to her She was the last one, you know asking for coaching and she’s like, oh my gosh I was gonna get coaching on this first But she already got like I feel like we covered that then I was gonna get coaching on that.

[00:15:52] Oh Then we covered that. So she like found something completely different to get coached on. So it’s just, you’re able to take in a [00:16:00] lot more coaching and have a lot more transformation in a quicker timeframe. And that’s what I saw happening for those clients that moved from one on one into the mastermind.

[00:16:10] And that is why I have been offering the mastermind for four years now, because it is so effective. It’s transformational. And it’s fun, right? Like it’s really awesome to have that community experience. And on top of that, in terms of like my specialty, one of the things that I tend to be really good at is cultivating community.

[00:16:32] It’s actually part of my human design. I have this four in my chart if you are aware of human design. That’s one of my numbers is a four, which means I, one of my gifts is bringing community together and I just personally as a coach really enjoy creating community and coaching a community. That is why both of my programs are that.

[00:16:56] I am not saying one on one coaching is wrong. I love one on one [00:17:00] coaching. I have a one on one coach, but I also think having a community is super, super, super powerful. Um, and in terms of what you offer, it depends on what you like. I have one of my best friends who Loves one on one coaching, right? She’s like, I just don’t like the community vibe.

[00:17:17] I love high level one on one coaching. So I think that’s perfect too. So I’m not here saying one on one coaching is wrong or anything like that. But I do notice that when you are all work, like when you get in a community where you’re all working together on the same thing, it can actually accelerate the process.

[00:17:35] It can accelerate the mindset. It can accelerate the results and be very, very, very, very helpful. Yeah. Okay, so here’s some of the things that I’ve noticed since I started it within my clients. I’ve had clients who have come in from the start of the mastermind who were literally just starting their business and now have done a couple rounds of the mastermind because a lot of [00:18:00] people actually just stay in it.

[00:18:01] They love the community, they love to get consistent coaching, and they have gone from zero up to having a multiple six figure business that they’re totally In love with, right? And I do this survey afterwards, like after the mastermind, to ask people, Hey, what do you get out of this? Like what? What have you noticed is different?

[00:18:23] Have you noticed shifts? Have you noticed, you know, like we talk about what has shifted internally, what’s shifted externally? What do you notice? The differences? And I will tell you some of the top things that I get in these surveys. People say, make more money. That is super common to start making more money when you really work on your money mindset.

[00:18:44] Also stop overworking. That is huge, right? We are not about hustling. Like I said, this container, the Soulful Six Figure Mastermind is not just about creating results and manifesting, but it’s about the way in which you do it. Learning to enjoy the [00:19:00] journey, learning to feel good as you’re doing it, learning to experience joy in business.

[00:19:07] Let me wait for my dog to stop barking.

[00:19:19] They also say that they feel like they are doing business in a way that is true to them. so much more aligned for them. Because like I said, I like to really help my clients figure out what that is. What is the way that you want to grow your business using your gifts, using your natural energy, right? So they tend to feel way more aligned.

[00:19:41] Another result that we see a lot is that they actually enjoy marketing for the first time ever. Right? So I have a lot of clients who come in and they’re like, I hate Instagram. I hate posting. I hate social media. I hate, I don’t want to be consistent. It’s so hard to be consistent. Right. And then by like midway through, they’re like, [00:20:00] wait a minute, I’m doing this and I actually like it.

[00:20:03] And it’s because they find the purpose behind it, right? They have the motivation because they have this strong why, and it propels them to do it. And they actually enjoy it. I have so many people I’m even thinking this round who have completely changed their relationship with marketing and are in. So much flow around it.

[00:20:21] And that is so much fun to witness. Another thing is a lot of people say by the end of it, they just feel so much more confident. They feel more free. They feel lighter around money. Like their relationship with money completely shifts. They’re having more fun. Just overall. It’s just more alignment, right?

[00:20:41] Um, another thing that a lot of people do is they, they notice. Let me not say that again. I don’t want it to all sound the same.

[00:20:51] One of the other results that we see is that a lot of people actually start manifesting the things that have been on their vision board for a long time, [00:21:00] or they really get started on it, like, in a serious way where they’re like, not just waiting around for it, but they’re actively working towards it in a way that feels good.

[00:21:09] They’re taking steps. They’re shifting their identity. So it’s been so fun to witness so many of my clients, like their vision boards are coming to life and there is nothing that lights me up more than that. And what I also love is that they finally enjoyed the process getting there. Right. Because I think a lot of the befores are my clients will come in before the mastermind and feel like, God, I’m like trying to Force this or it’s such a grind.

[00:21:35] It’s such a hustle. I’m trying to make it happen. And we have to shift that energy to actually get it to happen. So that’s the work that we do in the mastermind. It’s like no more hustling, no more grinding, right? No more trying to force yourself to do this. And it’s doing it from a different place. It’s a place where it’s not an I have to, but it’s an I want to, and that feels so different.

[00:21:58] They also start using [00:22:00] manifestation in like every area of their life, which is so fun. Whether that’s like, I want to manifest that my kids are able to go to this camp over the holiday break, right? Like, I’ve had clients manifesting that. Or, you know, I want to manifest, uh, this, uh, Spring break trip, or I want to manifest.

[00:22:17] Like I had one client was like, I want new kitchen chairs. I’m like, girl manifested. And she totally did. She manifested the additional money for it. So it’s really cool to see that kind of stuff. Like people are using it in all other areas besides business. I have another client who, um, literally is in her dream relationship and she totally manifested her partner, just using the same principles, getting in that energy.

[00:22:41] And the ripple effect is. Massive, massive, massive, massive. So I say this to say, I highly recommend that if you are an entrepreneur, you get yourself inside of a mastermind. And if the soulful six figure mastermind aligns for you, or if [00:23:00] you. Feel like I really love this podcast. I really love the work that Jamie teaches.

[00:23:05] Well, my goodness You are going to absolutely love the mastermind because it’s a way to get High level high touch support from me and you’re what we’re doing is we’re really implementing it learning how to Live this stuff like I’m holding your hand walking you through how to really do this in your business in your everyday life So the soulful six figure mastermind, it’s not for everyone.

[00:23:31] So we really it’s specifically for Entrepreneurs coaches like service based. Sorry. Let me say this one more time. It’s specifically for Coaches and service based entrepreneurs who are growing their business, right? If that is a calling for you where you’re like, you know, you have the foundations down, you already have an offer, you have experience serving clients.

[00:23:55] Um, you know how to do the basics, right? Selling and you’re, you’re [00:24:00] consistent with, no, let me say that one more time. Sorry. I’m just,

[00:24:08] so the soulful six figure mastermind, it’s not for everyone. It’s for specifically. Coaches and service based entrepreneurs who are in a phase of growing their business and they want to do it in a way that’s more aligned for them. So if that is you, it might be the perfect place for you, right? Um, so it’s not really for the person who, you know, is just learning the skill or who needs to still like learn the foundations of business.

[00:24:40] If you don’t have an offer, if you don’t have a niche, if you are still learning how to sell, you’ve never had a consult or anything like that, it’s probably not for you yet. I would say. I would start with a little bit getting more of the foundations down first and then come into the mastermind because the mastermind is great when you kind of have that [00:25:00] phase one down but you’re ready to really skyrocket and really scale what’s working right and really expand what’s possible and do it in a way that you really enjoy it.

[00:25:12] So it’s really about growing your business in a way that feels fully aligned for you. And we do it using manifestation, really challenging your mindset and expanding what’s possible for you. We go through spiritual principles. I do tons of different teaching. We do lots of coaching. And what’s really fun as of last year, post COVID, I added in.

[00:25:39] a bonus retreat. So everyone who’s in the mastermind gets to come to my retreat for free. So that’s typically midway through the mastermind. And that is, oh my gosh, it’s magical. It’s so fun to actually be able to get everyone together in the same room, um, be able to do deeper work together. [00:26:00] I’ve had people say, oh my gosh, just the retreat alone felt like six months of coaching.

[00:26:04] Like we go deep, but we also have fun. fun. We all connect. I had another client say, Oh my gosh, I’d never been to a retreat where I felt like I was just on the same level as everyone. They were like, not in terms of like the same income, but like, Mentally, emotionally, spiritually, like we were all like on the same wavelength and it was just so fun because everyone connected, everyone had dinners together.

[00:26:27] We had the best time and there was so many huge, massive shifts that happened. So we do a retreat and that is totally complimentary. You get that along with the mastermind. It’s just a bonus. You also don’t have to come because the six month container in and of itself is. Highly transformational, super healing.

[00:26:49] I mean, you will leave a different person with a whole new set of soul friends after the six months. Right. And you don’t have to leave. You can continue on [00:27:00] a lot of, uh, my clients just continue on and keep, you know, renewing the mastermind and just keep doing the work and take their business to the next level and the next level and the next level, um, once the fun thing that we also do that I didn’t mention is we have sacred business projects.

[00:27:16] So every six months, every round of the mastermind, you can pick a new sacred business project. And that is a project that, um, like it’s just, it’s going to be what I love about it. Let me say that one more time. So every six months you pick a new sacred business project. And the way that you think about it is just, what is the next thing that is really going to take my business to the next level?

[00:27:43] What do I feel really called to do? Or to learn? What area do I want to grow in? And we can create a project around it. So you’ve probably, if you’ve been listening to the podcast, you might’ve heard some of the interviews that I’ve done with some of my mastermind students. And some of them talk about [00:28:00] their projects, but projects can be really anything.

[00:28:04] It’s very specialized to you. For a lot of my clients who want to expand their capacity for income and for wealth and what’s possible for them, they’ll pick a number and they’ll say, I want to become an energetic match to 30 K months. For instance, right? Like I had Kelsey Carter who was on the podcast, um, a couple of weeks ago and she’s, she, you know, was doing.

[00:28:25] I think she was doing like between 8 to 10 to 15k, like, you know, just depending it wasn’t ever consistent, right? A month. She was like, I want to do consistent 30k months. And that was the project that she committed to. And we really did for the six months, so much coaching around that inner work. support, right?

[00:28:46] Um, and then I’ve had other clients like, for instance, Dorothy was on the podcast and I think she shared about her project and for her first round of the mastermind, she wanted to create her million dollar funnel, right? She wanted to create a funnel where [00:29:00] she could get clients without launching all the time.

[00:29:03] And she did. She created the most incredible funnel throughout that six months. And that’s what we really focused on and coached on. And what I love about sacred business projects is it’s like we do the inner work and the outer work around that. And there is something magic that happens when you constrain yourself to one main project over a six month period in your business, you will experience so much growth.

[00:29:33] The reason I created sacred business projects is because That’s how I’ve grown my business. I pick a new project every six months and I really focus in on that. And there’s something really powerful, like I said, that happens when you constrain and when you’re focused on one main thing. Now, of course, you’re going to be working on other things, but you need one main big thing that you’re going all in on and really getting support [00:30:00] around.

[00:30:00] Because what I find is that when we don’t have that one thing, We can try to do way too many things and never actually get good at it or never actually complete it So that’s one fun thing that we do in this hopeful six figure mastermind is everyone picks a sacred business project for the entire container And I just really fully support you In making it happen and doing like I said that inner work and outer work To create it.

[00:30:28] So,

[00:30:33] so, Sorry.

[00:30:40] So if this sounds awesome to you, if it sounds fun to you, if this feels aligned to you, we do have the Mastermind launching very soon. So we launch every six months, so if you’re listening to this in real time, we have a launch coming up On May [00:31:00] 1st of 2024, that’s when applications are opening. Now we keep the containers high touch because, like I said, I really like to be able to coach every single person and really hold your hand and support you through the whole thing so we don’t make it too crowded, right?

[00:31:18] I’ve been in masterminds where there’s like 200 people and you really don’t have access. to the person coaching very often. Maybe you get coached one time, not as much, right? Like I wanted it to be something where you’d get access to high level, masterful coaching consistently. So we do not take a ton of people in, right?

[00:31:39] We keep the containers intimate. So applications are limited or Let me say that. So spaces are limited. So if you want to get in, you can either get on the waitlist or if it’s open at this point, you can apply. And if you know, you’re listening to this past the date, just make sure to [00:32:00] get on the waitlist so that you know when the next launch is.

[00:32:03] It is so,

[00:32:09] it is truly such a magical experience. And whether you feel aligned to this one or another one. I want to encourage you to take the leap to invest in yourself, to invest in your future self, to invest in something that’s going to allow you to enjoy your business and make it so much easier and help to accelerate your results, right?

[00:32:34] So, like I said, if this one doesn’t feel aligned to you. Find one that does because as Jack Canfield says in success principles, surrounding yourself by the right people matters and getting in a mastermind will only help your success. All right. All

[00:32:57] right. I hope you have an amazing [00:33:00] day and I will talk to you next week.
