What is Mastermind? Well, one definition would be one of those bad guys in a Bond movie. Another, is a think tank on speed! Mastermind is a unique process that involves intense focus and interaction. Did you ever wonder what it is that makes Austin such a special place for entrepreneurs? What do these successful entrepreneurs know that you don’t?
ATX Mastermind has been created to put the collective minds together in the Austin area and work in a collaborative format to help Austin’s entrepreneurs achieve their goals and realize their dreams. To put it simply, the mastermind process is a board room on steroids. Members meet regularly to discuss their current business issues and present new ideas and come together to support one another.
Did you read or watch “The Secret” and wonder - “what now?” Here it is - a new group in Austin to help make reality of your intentions…
