The X-Men, SaaS Churn, & A Helpful Marketing Framework
Hot Take: The X-Men are the quintessential mastermind.
Imagine if Wolverine, Rogue, or Storm stood never met.
Sure, they might survive. But they would never save the world from the biggest bads if they hadn’t come together. Their collective skills and points of view helped them to reach their greatest potential - not just as a group but as individuals.
Not all members of a mastermind will jive *we’re looking at you, Jean Gray*.
Masterminds combine the ambition, experiences, and perspectives of a handful of members to help each other achieve their goals, defeat their biggest challenges, and stay accountable to one another through collaboration.
Our recommendation: find your crew.
Whether it's a formal mastermind, your co-working neighbors, or your internet friends - having a group of people committed to your success and who care about your business can make a huge difference.
A real MicroConf mastermind match.
