Coaches, consultants and thought leaders can get a lot out of building relationships with fellow experts whether you’re joining a formal mastermind, or starting your own informal peer advisory group. The question is - how do we approach masterminds so that we get the most value out of them, and how do we contribute to these relationships so that we’re also making the engagement worthwhile for other members? In today’s episode, I’m joined by the CEO of Profitable Relationships, Dov Gordon. Dov is also the founder of JVMM, a curated, high-caliber community of 100+ leaders in the world of small business, entrepreneurship, consulting, and coaching, and today he shares the thought process behind his mastermind. Three things we learned from Dov Gordon; Why being an introvert has heavily informed his approach to building an expertise-based business. The one rule that should govern how we approach our mastermind groups. How to prioritize mastermind groups without expecting an immediate payoff from them. Guest Bio- Dov Gordon is the CEO of Profitable Relationships. He helps consultants use “backwards” networking to reach their ideal clients, consistently. Experienced consultants know that the best clients come from referrals and relationships. But referrals are unpredictable. And relationships take lots of time. Instead, Dov helps you become an “under-the-radar leader” in your industry. It gets better, because Dov shows you how to leverage the relationship marketing you’ve been doing for free - into a six figure revenue stream.
