Here are a few testimonials from current and former members of The Next Level Mastermind:
Tom Heffner said...
Cliff Ravenscraft and the mastermind he created were a major inflection point in my career and life. I went from feeling trapped in a day job to creating my own freedom and autonomy. I left the day job at that time to start my own business to give myself more freedom to do what I want, with whom I want, when I wanted. I've never looked back. Here's the interesting part - as much as Cliff can help you with the tactical/practical (e.g. the in's/out's of online business - he can definitely help with this) ... what really helped me was changing my mindsets and removing the limiting beliefs holding me back from achieving what I wanted.

Dan Faulknor said...
I joined the group with the plan of maybe leaving my day job in the next year or two. Within 6 months of joining (and attending meetings at 3am my time. It was worth it!) I had a plan to leave my day job within a couple of months. I did leave my day job, much sooner than expected and now 4 years later my business is thriving with 3 employees + myself. Cliff's ability to ask you questions and get you to lead YOURSELF is his greatest strength, in my mind. You have nobody to 'blame' but yourself, because you provide all the answers with Cliff's guidance. 

Kevin Davis said... 
I was at a standstill. Didn’t know what the next step was. Actually, I didn’t think I was qualified to make the next step. Didn’t have anyone in my circle at that time to help. So I took a leap and joined Cliffs mastermind. My how things changed! First was overcoming some thoughts that held me back. Then some steps and next action items to get the ball rolling. Now I’ve moved the ball down the field farther and quicker than ever imagined.

Leslie Graham said...
If you are thinking about this, be sure to reach out to Cliff. Joining NLM was the biggest leap I'd ever made in terms of investing in myself and my business, but my life was radically changed in so many ways as a result of my nearly two years with the group. In fact, my current business was launched as a result and I couldn't be happier with the trajectory of that business.

In this episode, I share the story my experiences with hosting one day business mastermind groups.

I also share how, even though the event itself only generated a net profit of two thousand dollars, my first one day business mastermind event led to many tens of thousands of dollars in return on investment.

After listening to these first five episodes of the Upgrade Your Peer Group Podcast, it is my sincere hope that you are already in the process of joining a mastermind group and beginning the process of hosting and facilitating your own mastermind group.  If you are a business owner, I hope that you see the potential of scalable revenue that can be generated by hosting PAID mastermind group experiences.

In this fourth episode, I share the story of my first ever experience hosting and facilitating a paid mastermind group.  I made so many mistakes during this first experience. I share those mistakes with you in hopes that I might inspire you to avoid making them.

While I made many mistakes in my first experience with paid mastermind groups, the mastermind principle did not fail.  In fact, you'll hear how the Podcast Mastermind played a role in the successful launch of the Entrepreneur On Fire Empire created by John Lee Dumas.

In this episode, I share a conversation that I had with Pat Flynn eight years ago.  Pat had joined me to celebrate the 300th episode of my Podcast Answer Man podcast back in March 2013. 

In this episode, you'll discover how Pat and I first met and hear how we made the decision to join forces in an official mastermind group alliance that began on October 8th, 2010.

Listen now to hear the story of how a single, 60-minute, meeting of our mastermind group helped lift me out of a season of depression and burnout, inspired a way of generating $16,000 in revenue within four weeks and how that lead to over 1 Million dollars in sales from a single stream of revenue within my business.

We started our mastermind group just over 11 years ago now. Pat and I still meet together, ever week, along with four other amazing members of what we call the Green Room Mastermind Group.

I hope that you are able to discover all the gold that can mined out of our conversation.

This podcast is all about helping you develop and benefit from a fuller understanding of the power behind the Mastermind Principle and Healthy Mastermind Group Alliances.

In this opening episode of the Upgrade Your Peer Group podcast, I share an introduction to my overall story of how I made the transition from the “Mindset of an Employee” to the “Mindset of a Self-Employed Business Owner.”

I could have never succeeded in such a radical transformation in my life had it not been for my understanding of the need to “upgrade my peer group” to those who believed in my ability to succeed in this endeavor.

I only succeeded in closing one chapter of my life and boldly proceeding into the next chapter as a result of my upgraded peer group, who were willing to commit to my success in this transformation.
