The Agora Mastermind

Honest feedback, thoughtful company

The Agora Mastermind

In ancient Greece, the agora was where ideas were tested, deals were struck, and thinking happened out loud.

The Agora Mastermind is a small, tight-knit group that meets regularly to share what we’re working on and give each other honest feedback.

We discuss the realities of building a service-based business and working with clients, including content marketing, LinkedIn strategies, pricing, structuring client engagements and managing client relationships.

Membership

We’re selective about who joins.

We have a small number of places open. To be considered, you should be able to meet the following expectations.

Timezone fit

You can be based outside the UK, but you need to be in a UK-friendly timezone. Calls are typically scheduled between 9-5 GMT.

Business model

You run a service-based business full-time with multiple clients rather than working in a one-client-at-a-time contracting arrangement.

Active growth

You are actively marketing your service-based business.

Participation

You can commit to a two-hour call each month and take part in the online forum when you can.

Candour

You’re genuinely willing to give and receive direct, honest feedback.
