NEXTGEN BENEFITS exclusively for MASTERMIND PARTNERS
Three 2-Day Elite Mastermind Summits
These events are the core of the Mastermind Partnership. During these intensive Summits, the Mastermind Partners will gather to share best practices, collaborate and innovate new approaches, discover new strategies & tactics, and learn about new tools and resources. Through expert presentations, "show & tell" from the group, the occasional field trip, and focused masterminding, the group is empowered and held accountable to grow their firms and achieve their goals.
30-Day Check-Ins
Every month, we'll conduct a quick 30-day check-in with you. This includes your completion of a simple online form accounting for your progress and/or challenges. These results will be reviewed by Nelson Griswold and any relevant guidance or course correction will be provided to ensure you stay on track toward achieving your key goals.

Four Quarterly Growth Consulting Sessions
In addition to the three Mastermind Summits, you'll also benefit from quarterly growth consulting calls with Nelson Griswold.
