Ellory normally starts a new mastermind group 3 times a year, January, April, and September. Mastermind slots are filled with people who've applied, and everyone who wants to join must apply.

Your mastermind will be with other people who are current or aspiring-entrepreneurs. You'll be in a group with people who are at about the same stage as you - beginners will be grouped with other beginners, etc.

The group dynamic is key to its success, so Ellory spends a significant amount of time matching you with other personalities you're likely to get along with, but who will also offer diversity of thought and variety of expertise.

You'll pay just $199/mo to get access to a mastermind group. That includes a 90 minute meeting every other week, unlimited and immediate access to a private group on Facebook that contains current and past mastermind members all over the world and in a variety of industries. 

As long as you're an active member, your price will never increase.

The big one was "Can I afford it?" The answer would be "Yes. Because I am already paying for other things that aren't providing as big a ROI as the mastermind. It's a matter of reallocating those funds into your mastermind group." WHICH BTW since masterminding, I have partnered with two other people, started a new digital marketing firm that has become kind of a big deal in these here rural parts

Yes, absolutely! I've never sold or shared anyone's personal information and I never will.

All transactions are encrypted. All calls are stored on my private server. I don't even share the details of our mastermind calls with my wife!

Answer provided by Dane Gilson:

Confidentiality may be a concern of yours. Everyone in the group is encouraged to communicate openly and honestly.

Confidence and friendships in the group grow over time, through interaction in the mastermind, through Facebook messenger, and in the Catalyst Mastermind Group. 

If you have sensitive information, you can communicate directly with Ellory to decide if it should be shared with the group. Otherwise, I encourage you to be open to sharing. No matter how great your ideas are, the risk of someone else stealing them is really low. We all have our own ideas and goals we want to pursue.

Also, keep in mind the market share exists for all of us to be successful at the same time.

Any information you share with Ellory is between you and Ellory. What we talk about is 100% private and confidential.

Any information you share during a mastermind call with your fellow members stays in the group. Our calls are private and confidential. Any members caught sharing confidential information will first be warned, then immediately removed from the group if it happens again. This has never been an issue.

Your mastermind group will meet every other week at the same time on the same day of the week.

The exact day and time of your meeting will be determined once all spots have been filled. Ellory's goal is to get the right people in the group before picking a time.

However, meetings usually happen between 7 am and 2 pm Central Time (GMT -6:00)

You will be in a group with people of all ages (typically between 25 and 55), and from all over the world, to your maximum benefit!

No. Your mastermind group will be made up of people who are different. They'll work in different industries, have different businesses, and different target markets. There may be some overlap, but that doesn't happen often. 

You will be in a mastermind group of people with diverse backgrounds and goals.

As an active member of a mastermind group, there are certain expectations I have for you. These expectations are to help you reach your goals, develop connections and build your business.

What’s nice is that my expectations are similar to the things that will help you get the most out of your mastermind experience! I love how that works out.

I hold myself to a pretty high standard, and I hope you will too. Though I’ll mess up, show up late, miss calls and forget to email you back, I do my very best.

As a Catalyst Mastermind member, there are certain things you can, and should, expect from me:

A mastermind is a group, coaching is one-on-one. Additionally, mastermind groups leverage the power of the group for accountability, encouragement, and information. And, they're typically less intense than coaching, and the pace is often slower.

In my coaching program, I push my clients harder than I do when they're in a mastermind. Coaching clients have additional access to me, there is more flexibility in scheduling, and the investment is substantially more.

If you think one-on-one coaching is more your speed or is more of what you need, click here.

Access to your mastermind group, the private Facebook group, and to your bi-weekly calls is $199/mo. As long as you're an active member, your price will not go up even if the price increases for the next group to start.

After you complete your application to the mastermind, you'll be sent a link to schedule a review call that lasts about 30 minutes. If I think you'd be a good fit, and if you think I can help you, I'll hold your application until I can place you in a new group with a great dynamic. Typical wait times are between one and six months to find the right fit for you.
