Thrive business owner advisory boards


Mastermind Groups bring business owners together monthly and provide powerful new insights, accountability, and support. Entrepreneurs identify and quickly move past the “Blind Spots” that are holding them back. When we don’t know something, and we-don’t-know-that-we-don’t-know-it, we are powerless to do anything about it.


In his book, “Think and Grow Rich,” Napoleon Hill studied highly successful people and noted that a key differentiator is that highly successful people make the intentional choice to continuously gain outside perspectives.


His research showed that ordinary people can achieve extra-ordinary outcomes by joining what he referred to as a “Mastermind Alliance.” Hill said, “It is the principle through which you can accomplish more in one year than you could accomplish without it in a lifetime if you depended entirely on your own efforts for success.”


Thrive Group offers two levels of Mastermind Groups. The first is Peer Advisory Boards for owners of smaller businesses. The second is Next Level Advisory Boards for owners whose businesses are larger and have more complexity.
