Recommended Book
This month’s selection for the Mastermind Book Club: “They Ask, You Answer” by Marcus Sheridan.
From the author’s website: “They Ask, You Answer” is a business philosophy which, when embraced fully, will make you the most trusted voice within your industry.
“And it begins with an obsession of understanding the answer to one question: “What is my customer thinking?”
Each month, Ted Prodromou and I select a great book for the Mastermind Book Club to examine. We meet live at the end of the month (this month’s meeting date TBD due to Thanksgiving).
The Club is free to join. Go to MastermindBook.Club for more info and to join.

Making Oprah proud
Speaking of the Mastermind Book Club… Last month, we read “Overdeliver” by the brilliant an humble Brian Kurtz. Brian attended our live Book Club meeting, and — as always, he overdelivered!
Over the weekend, Brian published a blog post (and emailed to his list) his thoughts about the power of a great mastermind group.
I’m honored to say he cited Mastermind Book Club as an example (thank you, Brian).
Read this post — not because I’m in it, but because it contains great insights about how to serve an audience, build a following, and grow by giving.
And if you like what you read, go to BrianKurtz.net to join his email list — so you get his Sunday posts in your inbox.
