Both a peer advisory or mastermind membership gives you the perspective you need to make better decisions.

A "peer advisory group" is made up of up to 10 to 15 like minded, non-competing business owners or key players that meet two half days per month to share ideas, discover and plan for areas in their business that need improvement, hold each other accountable, and encourage one another to conduct business in a God-honoring way, led by a seasoned business leader and coach. The objective of a peer advisory group is to grow your business and yourself in a community of accountability. It’s like having a confidential, private advisory board to troubleshoot problems, vet ideas and identify blind spots to help each other succeed.

A “mastermind membership” is almost identical to a peer advisory membership with one exception, and that is that mastermind members do not get a monthly one-on-one meeting.

A peer advisory group can serve as a trusted space to receive unbiased feedback on topics like finances, marketing, sales, personnel, or products/service launches.

All of GPG’s virtual boards or groups are very exclusive and intimate in size with 12 to 15 members on each board or in each group. This ensures ample time is provided at each meeting to each and every member to address issues and opportunities, discuss progress and solicit advice and suggestions from fellow members.

A new group may start with as few as 4 members, and on occasion a group might be split into two groups, and grow back to the optimal 12 to 15 as quickly as possible.

All national (virtual) boards and groups meet online in a virtual conference room. Groups meet for approximately 3 hours (twice each month) for a formal meeting, then an informal "Shop Talk" meeting on alternate weeks that last from 1 to 2 hours, depending on participation.

Once associate chair groups launch, the associate chair will have the option of building an online national group, or a local group that will meet at a local meeting place (i.e., corporate board room, event venue room, etc.). Associate chairs may also choose to build both types of groups.

Your GPG virtual or local board or group will be led by a GPG chair or associate chair. All GPG chairs will have a wide variety of professional expertise, and will also be business owners. They will have been trained to lead and facilitate business owner advisory boards and/or mastermind groups, helping to draw out issues and facilitate clarifying questions, suggestions, ideas and advice.

They will also be business coaches who help businesses just like yours achieve personal and business success using GPG’s methodology, systems and state of the art app.

Your GPG chair will either lead the meeting, and determie the topic, or a member will volunteer to lead a meeting, and be assisted in choosing the topic and the preparation for  their designated meeting. This helps make sure the discussions are always high level.

GPG peer advisory board members set aside two half days each month to meet with their group and work on their business, not in it. That means they make time to tackle the big-picture plans, as well as the issues that may be holding them back. During the meeting, they help each other vet ideas, troubleshoot strategies and find solutions together.

All discussions are 100% confidential. Meetings are facilitated by a GoodProfitGroup mentor (GPG Chair) who uses time tested tools, resources and methods for keeping the conversations focused and productive.

At most meetings, your GPG chair will run a topic specific workshop to help members generate new ideas to apply to their businesses.

GPG Peer Advisory CHARTER Members can schedule up to two 1-hour coaching sessions per month (included in their monthly dues). Additional coaching sessions are billed at the published rate on the chair calendar.

GPG Peer Advisory Members can schedule one 1-hour coaching session per month (included in their monthly dues). Additional coaching sessions are billed at the published rate on the chair calendar.

GPG Mastermind Members can schedule 1-hour coaching sessions, but they are billed at the published rate on the chair calendar.

Monthly Peer Advisory Member coaching sessions with your GPG chair will begin by focusing on commitments made at the last board meeting, after that is covered, keeping in mind that these sessions are designed to provide ongoing support, you can ask for further guidance and resources to achieve your goals and objectives. The session can adjust to your pressing needs, issues or challenges that you want to discuss with your group chair. The last couple minutes will be devoted to praying for the member, the members family, church and business.

Although members commit to attend their monthly meetings, urgent issues do arise from time to time. If you are unable to attend a board/group meeting, you need to let your GPG chair know. Your seat is held for you, with the expectation that you are able to attend 80% of all board/group meetings.

No, part of the application/screening process is to allow existing members to deny new members from joining their group where a conflict of interest exists. This will guarantee no competitors join a group unless the original member agrees to having a competitor in the group.

If you are participating in a virtual board or group, you will need access to the internet with good connectivity. You will need a camera and microphone on your desktop or laptop and be in an interruption-free environment. There will be a virtual conference room phone number you can call for audio if you don't have a microphone and/or speakers on your device.

As far as membership goes, although we hope you will stay throughout the rest of your career in a trade, everything in GPG is month to month. You’re under no obligation to continue if you have a change in your business situation or if you aren’t happy with the value you’re getting. If at any time you need to leave your board or group, we would ask that you provide a 30 day notice so we can attempt to fill your seat at the table.

As far as participation goes, our members are business owners and/or key players of companies who meet the following criteria:

• Can commit uninterrupted time to the time frame of the groups weekly or monthly meetings
• Can pay the monthly dues without being a burden on the company
• Commit to give as much as you get (share your wisdom and experience with other members)
• Commit to hold and be held accountable for stated goals and objectives
• Commits to attend at least 80% of meetings or relinquish their seat at the table
• Commit to maintaining confidentiality
