Success comes from applied experience. The fast way to achieve more is to have access to the expertise of others. Did you know that expertise comes from experiences and leads to becoming an expert?
Did you know that I volunteered to be the community manager of the relaunched BizSugar Mastermind Community? I am personally inviting you to join us – and everything is totally free!
What is a Mastermind Community?
Learning from others and bouncing your ideas around are just two of the benefits of participating in a Mastermind Community. Others are the free resources, tools, and weekly events.
Need help setting and achieving goals? Have questions about how to grow your business or get more traffic to your website? Not sure how to manage projects or find the answers to your questions?
Find everything you need to know related to making a living as a freelancer or small business in our new Mastermind Community.
What Kind of Regular Events?
Now is the perfect time to join us because Anita Campbell, CEO and Founder of both Small Business Trends and BizSugar is doing an AMA (ask me anything) this coming Wednesday from 10:00 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern (EST).
We can see the 24 thought-provoking questions here that Anita will be answering on Wednesday. You still have time to get your questions in – but you have to join the free community to do it.
Previous events include Ann Smarty, Founder of Viral Content Bee, answering questions about Featured Snippets, the Ninja Tools Featured Snippet tool, link building, and SEO. Even though that event is already over, you can see the questions she answered in a post on the BizSugar blog.
Want the answers to those questions? They’re all available inside our free Mastermind Community.
If you have a website and want more traffic, you really need to know about Featured Snippets. Ann uploaded screen captures and provided comprehensive responses and videos.
The answers to all your questions are probably already there. And if they’re not, Ann is a member of our community. As community manager, I can contact our past guests and get even more advice from them going forward.
Free Calculators, Templates and Scorecards
Visit our BizSugar tools page here to take our free tools for a spin. Ready to set goals, but not sure how? Use our Sales Goals, Staff Goals and Tech Goals Templates.
Are you a freelancer wanting to increase your income? Our Billable Rate Calculator is very popular with freelancers and consultants. Enter how much you want to earn annually, what percentage of your time is billable, how much vacation you plan to take, and the calculator reveals what you need to charge per hour.
Small businesses need a way to keep track of trends in how well they are handling their Financials, Sales & Marketing, and Staffing. Use our Scorecards regularly to track your business.
Trending Topics
Wondering what may impact your business or income going forward? Come brainstorm ideas and strategies such as our recent “Are You Using Sustainability as a Competitive Advantage? Let’s Talk Strategy“.
Do you care about sustainability? Be sure to take the survey in that post.
Poll our members to find out how they feel on any relevant topic. Ask us to start a forum discussion on whatever your most burning questions are. Running on Zoho Connect, the forums are fully searchable. And you’ll be learning to use team collaboration software while you learn!
Our Mastermind Community is unlike most forums where the same questions get asked and answered over and over. As community manager, I ensure that all comments and resources on a particular topic are funneled into just one forum post.
It is my promise to you that we will have more substance and a lot less noise, making it easy to find what you want to know.
How to Join the BizSugar Mastermind Community
Joining is simple. Go to https://www.bizsugar.com/mastermind and enter your name and email, click the confirmation email, and you’re in!
“If you feel that being around other small business owners is a good thing, and you want to be in the know about all things business, you should join the BizSugar Mastermind Community. It’s a great place to engage with like-minded, enthusiastic entrepreneurs.” – The Franchise King® Joel Libava

Hi Nikki,
Thank you for your question. BizSugar Sharing and the new BizSugar Mastermind Community require separate accounts because they run on different platforms. You can read more about how to use BizSugar sharing in these posts by Senior Editor Shawn Hessinger:

I had account in BizSugar before. Recently they had changed everything and it was difficulty to fins the login URL.
Hello Minu,
The original sharing site is still there and hasn’t changed much at all, yet. To get to it, just click on the “Share” tab from the main domain.

Noting this Gail. Weird but when I was abroad, I had a tough time logging in to Biz Sugar. Even with a VPN. A good, quality VPN, I should say. I’ll try again in a bit to see if it works again. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Ryan,
If you run into any challenges logging in, let me know. Be aware that the sharing part of BizSugar runs on Pligg and is a separate login from the Mastermind part of BizSugar that runs on Zoho Connect.

Hey Ryan,
Today’s guest would be a great one for you to ask a question of because he was interviewed by BusinessNewsDaily about digital nomads in Inside the Life of a Digital Nomad,
I hope you can pop in – and remember, questions get added to the BizSugar post about the event and link back to your site – at least for now while we’re ramping up the new community. It is time-consuming and may not happen forever.

Hi Ryan,
If you ever have issues getting logged into BizSugar sharing or Mastermind, message me and I’ll assist. Skype is fastest (username growmap). Facebook messaging could also work. Both of those are faster than comments here or email due to spammers.
