Stop Surviving, Mired in the Mediocrity of Your Small Business and Start Thriving and Getting the Results You Deserve.

The classic small business owner or entrepreneur profile goes something like this:

  • Works 12-15 hour days in order to one day get to the place where he is living the dream lifestyle
  • Goes to work every day with a To-Do list and leaves after sunset with hardly any of that list accomplished
  • Is sucked into the minutia of the business operations within the first half hour at the office, and realizes that strategic decisions are continually visiting “Someday Isle”
  • Bounces from great new idea or initiative from the airport book store gurus, never sticking with any of them long enough to achieve success
  • Can’t understand why the economy, the president, the last president, greedy Wall Street tycoons and Osama bin Laden’s ghost have so screwed up the planet to prevent all small business success
  • Feel overwhelmed, alone, and isolated running a business that your family, employees and your debtors are relying on to succeed
  • Long for a human lifeline to be thrown that breeds confidence, fresh ideas, peer advice and ACTION needed to get un-stuck and grow the business she wants

Now ask yourself if we’ve just described you.

Facts are, you’re not alone.  We’ve been there and so have millions of small business owners and entrepreneurs desiring to go from scraping out a living to living the life that each and every one desires.

The great news is that it doesn’t have to be that way.  You can break out of that prison of self-doubt and take charge just like we’ve done in our businesses, enjoying the revenue, freedom and peace of mind that comes from KNOWING success awaits you, and then watching it happen sooner than you ever thought possible.

Why Mastermind Groups Hold the Key to Small Business Success

If you’ve gotten this far you already know something about Mastermind Groups.  Perhaps you’ve watched our video(s) telling about the benefits of Mastermind Groups, or read your complementary copy of the eBook Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Mastermind Groups, when done right, give you as a Business Owner or Entrepreneur the powerful Success Tools of…

  • Collective Intelligence
  • Leveraged Accountability
  • Dynamic Support
  • Tangible Results

The reality is that well-run Mastermind Groups allow you to multiply your brainpower, resources, and results exponentially to provide ultimate business success.  Virtual Mastermind groups allow you to capitalize on these business-changing benefits from the comfort of your own home or office.

As a member of a Virtual Mastermind Group, every month you receive:

  • Live 90 Minute Expert, Interactive Virtual Seminars – Virtual Seminars delivered using PC technology and video conferencing Small business topics relevant to your education and success, ranging from human resource issues to social media marketing to succession planning and all points in between.  This is much more than a typical webinar.  See, hear and interact live with subject matter expert speakers for increased engagement and group-customized learning experiences.  Each Virtual Mastermind group has the power to choose educational content based upon the collective will of the group that will be served up by your Virtual-Mastermind.com Facilitator-Coaches.  All Virtual Seminars will have 20-30 minutes of Q&A upon completion of an already interactive event. ($300 value)
  • 3 Hours Mastermind Issue Resolution – As determined again by the will of each group, either 2 90 minute Issue Resolution sessions or 1 3 hour session each month, leveraging the collective super-intelligence of your group, accountability that drives action, and dynamic support system on your specific problems as well as those of others in the group.  All Issue Resolution events conducted live via group videoconferencing to accelerate and build upon the business rapport and trust among members.  Video technology really is the next best thing to being there, without the associated costs and headaches of travel.  Having your own personal advisory board work on your unique business problems in a structured, proven-effective way ratchets up your decision-making process and options to give you confidence in solving problems effectively and without delay. ($600 value)
  • 2 Hours Private Executive Coaching – Some issues may be too personal or sensitive to share with the Mastermind Group, at least initiallly until total trust is achieved.  Your personal Executive Coach will serve as confidant, trusted confidential business advisor, idea generator, sounding board, and action driver to deal with these issues or build upon and track goals committed to in the Mastermind Group setting.  Coaching done via telephone or Skype video/audio at the discretion of the member. ($400 value)
  • Your Company Peer Advisory Board – Your Mastermind Group is your own personal Advisory Board of 8-15 like-minded Business Owner peers that you can benefit from in the formal group settings and beyond.  Our use of virtual technologies allow the group composition to be free of geographical restrictions, with your Facilitator-Coaches designing groups for maximum impact based upon the history, business situation and industry vertical markets of peers from across the nation and internationally. (incalculable)
  • Accountability Partners – Each member of a Virtual Mastermind group will be given an Accountability Partner from within the group, a success buddy if you will.  Your Accountability Partner will help you follow-through on your commitments and you’ll do likewise.  In order to further extend trust and the group dynamic, Accountability Partners may be rotated periodically at the discretion of the group. (priceless)
  • Video Archives – For both Virtual Seminars and Group Mastermind Issue Resolution sessions, we know that you may not be able to attend every session or might want to refer to these events in the future.  No worries.  We record each event and archive it on your password protected Virtual Meeting Room on Virtual-Mastermind.com, preserving your group confidentiality while allowing lifelong access to this material as long as you’re a Virtual Mastermind member. ($900 value)
  • Audio Archives – Audio recordings of each Virtual Seminar and Issue Resolution session are available for your download to your Ipod/MP3 player or PC so you can listen to the material while traveling, exercising, or in the comfort of your office or home. ($300 value)
  • Members Only Bonuses – Each Virtual Mastermind member will receive access to a few bonuses just for registering (see below) and more that we add along the way, and we are always creating bonus content for our small business clients! ($100 value)

The TOTAL VALUE of this package is well in excess of $2600/month when sold separately.  Your investment is only $291/month.  You do the math.

Why Should I Listen to You Guys?

Great question.  We’ve told you in our videos and special reports that a Mastermind Group can be a life-changing experience—when it’s done right.  Doing it right means the right mix of the group composition, member engagement, and perhaps most important of all, Leadership.

Allow for some introductions to set you at ease.

“Karl and I collaborated as Executive Mastermind peers for several years….Karl’s expertise proved to be invaluable on more than one challenge that I had…but one challenge in particular stands out.  As we began a more focused approach to some of our managed services offerings, there was a lack of group consensus on a particular topic. Karl had encountered a similar obstacle at his company and offered solutions on how to get management to gain agreement. Using his suggestions as a guideline and with some additional focus on the issue internally we were get past the obstacle and move ahead with our managed services rollout. Karl was always a significant contributing leader within our group and one of the first to offer solutions to the toughest challenges.”
Dan Abernathy, VP of Sales and Marketing, Microautomation

Karl Walinskas, family photo, virtual mastermindKarl Walinskas is CEO and founder of Smart Company Growth, a small business consulting firm that helps small businesses spark their sales and control their costs.  He has been in business for more than two decades, the last dozen or so in Executive-Level roles, yet amazingly retains most of his hair.  Tired of the corporate grind, even with small businesses, and looking to build a lifestyle business, Karl packed his bags and moved his beautiful wife and 4 year old son to his then vacation home on the Atlantic Seaboard, ultimately building Smart Company Growth to fulfill that desire.

Karl has an incredibly diverse background, beginning as an Engineer for a little outfit called International Business Machines (IBM) back when it was a hardware company.  A desire to be a bigger fish in a smaller pond led him to small business enterprises, and in the past 22 years he has been COO of start-up operations, served as Vice President of Sales & Operations, Director of Supply Chain, and Vice President of Manufacturing with small companies ranging in sales from $2 million to $88 million, and small business consultant to over 77 diverse manufacturing companies.

“When I heard about the concept of Virtual-Mastermind I knew the idea would be a winner with Karl facilitating and coaching the groups.  A perfect match for firms looking to leverage the mastermind concept like I’ve done during my career.”
Jennifer Cortner, VP Account Services, Discovery Network

Karl has also cut his teeth as a professional speaker, facilitator and trainer to individuals and businesses alike, has scores of publishing credits including the Kallisti leadership book Getting Connected Through Exceptional Leadership (see your bonus gifts).

The most important qualification that should concern you is that he has spent 6 years being involved in Mastermind Groups with Vistage International as a Key Executive member, and has facilitated business meetings among top performers and executives for the past decade.

Virtual-Mastermind.com is born from that experience, creating Mastermind Groups that take the best elements of Mastermind learning and problem solving and eliminating the commitment-challenging travel hassles and geographic restrictions that exist with face to face groups, as well as about 70% of the investment!

“Karl is a straight-talking, no-nonsense leader who has both the business acumen and people skills to help companies in the midst of change. One of the many reasons Karl is successful is his ability to relate with all types of people within an organization from the employees on the factory floor to the C-Suite. Often during our Vistage meetings Karl would distill a highly complex business issue down to a few distinct bullet points and a succinct solution, it got us past the distracting minutia, and helped us focus on what was truly important.”
Amy Leigh DeWulf, Key Executive Group Member, Vistage International
