One of the things I’m most proud of in 2019 was mustering the courage to add a link to this simple, anonymous, two-question survey in the confirmation email that gets sent to folks who sign up for the MastermindJam wait list. 
Less than 10% of folks answer, but it’s worth it.
As I read these, I’m constantly struck by how much I see my own journey in these responses. 
They’re complete strangers who are describing the exact reasons, I, myself, also first sought out a mastermind group experience, and why I eventually started MastermindJam. 
Like… every time I get bummed or distracted or discouraged, someone submits a new survey response and I think: “OH HOLY CRAP THIS PERSON IS DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHY I BUILT THIS THING!”
These inspire me to keep working on this. They propel me forward. 
So here’s what I absolutely MUST convey to you…
Monday the 20th of this month is the start of MastermindJam’s first quarter launch for 2020.
