| "Since becoming involved with the Toronto Entrepreneur Mastermind Group, it has truly been an eye opening experience to see that other business owners like myself, are struggling with the same daily challenges. Our group is quite balanced and we have some members that have already dealt with many of my current issues and offer great input and advice on how to work through them. Ultimately, the group acts as a great motivator to keep me on track and accountable for financial targets and to ensure that issues that I plan on dealing with are dealt with... (No later than the next meeting!)" | |

| “The Toronto Entrepreneur Mastermind Group is a cross between a league of entrepreneurial superheroes and a no-nonsense support group. My own strengths and weaknesses are checked by my group mates, who actively support and motivate me to meet my targets, be a better entrepreneur and a better person. Before I joined the group I was a 150-pound business weakling… now look at me! Beefcake. Beefcake!!” | |

| "One of my biggest challenges with running a business is who do you turn to when facing a business challenge? Who do you turn to when you want advice? The best source is other entrepreneurs who are willing to share their past experiences and challenges. That's what you get at the Toronto Entrepreneur Mastermind Group. The group always has feedback on business issues and has given me the opportunity to critically think on strategies to grow my business, set goals and be accountable for those goals." | |

| "I have made thousands of dollars by being part of the Toronto Entrepreneur Mastermind Group. Why? Because when I go there I get great ideas followed by a swift kick to the butt to put those ideas into action. I added a major product line to my business at the start of the year after the group reinforced and prompted me to implement an idea that had been knocking around my head for months. That product will probably become 50% of my revenue in the next year. This is the great thing about meeting regularly with a group of smart business people: the members bring street-savvy advice to your business that comes from a perspective that is outside your business. To anyone walking the lonely road of entrepreneurship, that kind of input is extraordinarily valuable." | |

I appreciate being held accountable for the goals that I set in my business by the group because the end result is seeing those come to fruition quicker." | |

| "As a Clinical Psychologist, my background did not provide me with any business training. In the Toronto Entrepreneur Mastermind Group I have found a tremendous resource of people who are willing to discuss all aspects of running a business. There is such diversity among the members who range in their professions as well in the development of their businesses. So we all learn about every stage of business development and the idea generation for complex problems is an enjoyable and worthwhile exercise every time. Bravo Evan for putting together such an terrific program." | |

The Toronto Entrepreneur Mastermind Group is made up of Entrepreneurs who HAVE been there – they've faced the challenges that lay ahead of me and through shared camaraderie will help me overcome them.” | |

At VERY meeting, the learning on the part of all members is staggering, with very helpful suggestions around difficult issues faced by entrepreneurs." | |
