Welcome to the Behind the Scenes of Online Business Without the BS podcast . If you're a motivated entrepreneur with a dream of building your own sustainable online business , you are in the right place in the right place . I'm Tara , the systems expert , and I help online business owners put systems into your business so you can live in your life , not in your business , and still make daily sales . I also love to keep it real with what it takes to build an online business . Get ready as we go behind the scenes on this wild ride of entrepreneurship and building successful , real businesses . Welcome back to the podcast . I feel like I don't know . I got off track . I don't know what happened , whatever the last few weeks . It was not what I intended the podcast to be when I first started it . So we're getting back to the bullshit . Not that I'm bullshit , but we're going to talk about some bullshit today . So get ready for that , because we're going to talk about the 100k mastermind . You heard that , right ? You actually heard me .

Speaker 1 1:24

Right Now , you might be like you got to be shitting me , because that's what I think every single time , every time that I see this , because I'm like are you for real right now ? This cannot be a thing , but it's a thing , 100% is a thing , and I'm not going to say any names . I'm not going to tell you who does this . You can look it up , it'll be clear . There are much more than one , unfortunately , and it is , and it is . I like I almost don't have words , but clearly I have words because we're doing a podcast about it . So I have words and I have thoughts and I really want to hear yours after this . So please message me the things after you listen , because I need to know , I need to know after this what your thoughts and opinions and all the things are . So the 100K Mastermind Now , so often well , I shouldn't say so often there are different ways that I've seen this marketed . There are different ways that I've seen this marketed and in any way , any way that I've seen it .

Speaker 1 3:07

I personally , you may have a different opinion and that's fine . We can totally disagree . It's completely ridiculous . I think it's totally ridiculous and like absolute craziness that this is a thing , especially because some of them are marketed to entrepreneurs just starting . Tell me why I have my theories , but like , how does that make any sense ? You are essentially trying to get your business off the ground . You're just trying to start things . You are like trying to figure this shit out and that's hard enough alone . Why the fuck are you getting a hundred thousand dollars to spend on a mastermind and like that . I'm sorry , it's just that is not . That's not going to be the thing that does it . It's just not .

Speaker 1 4:13

For a lot of reasons which we'll go into , but it's so that part of it is so inappropriate to me , like it's beyond crazy that it is marketed to anyone starting their business when you've never made money . And I know that there are people out there that have paid this and not yet made anything in their business and I'm just like , and I don't think , I don't think that they're done , I don't like it's not anything like that . I get why it happens and we'll talk about that as well , because I I haven't done it but I get that part , the what just grosses me out and the part that I have such an issue with . But I also see why they do it is the fact that it even exists . The fact that we even have to have this conversation right now is mind-blowing . The fact that there is that a $100,000 mastermind exists and I mean there are different lengths of them . It depends which one it is . Sometimes they're for a year , sometimes they're for less . Like it really depends and what like ? What you'll get out of them is different . Like what they say you'll get out of it is different depending on the one .

Speaker 1 5:54

My theory on it is I mean , for many of them it's essentially a way to pay to play , because if you are able to put down $100,000 , and I mean you can get that in a number of different ways , I , but if you're able to do that , it's going to be people with money . I sure as shit don't have a hundred thousand dollars lying around that I can do that , even if it's broken up into payment plans . I don't have that . There is no fucking way . There is no way . And going to say this , my husband would lose his absolute mind if I did that , and I know people have issues with that and it's like , oh , he shouldn't get a say I'm sorry If I spent $100,000, . If he spent $100,000 on something and like didn't tell me , no , I would be real fucking mad and we both know that of each other . So it like would not happen .

Speaker 1 6:56

But this is , this is insanity . Like this is not . I feel like this is not a normal thing . I don't . I just don't understand it . But marketing it to people who are just starting out in their business makes zero sense . Zero sense .

Speaker 1 7:22

Now , people that are doing this obviously are doing it to make money . Clearly , that is the objective . But you do not need to pay these outrageous amounts in order to have a business or , to quote unquote , make moves in your business or to like , do whatever quantum leap and like , whatever the fuck they're gonna tell you you're gonna do in these things , no , flat out , just like no , that's not gonna happen . I will say right now that's not gonna fucking happen . It's not . This shit is absolutely wild and it's a thing that's going to happen and you can see it over and over again . You're going to be out a lot of money and likely disappointed at the end , likely feeling bad because you spent that and feeling bad because , because you spent that and feeling bad because you feel like now you shouldn't have done it , and you probably feel like maybe you didn't because a lot of these are like well , you just didn't manifest then hard enough , or like some crazy ass shit like that , like none of it connects , none of it makes sense .

Speaker 1 8:58

This is not business . That is not how business works . It's not paying to play . That is not how you build a business . Paying like you can pay to be in bigger rooms and network with people and meet people Sure , if you want to do that , go right ahead . But to build a business , that's not how it works . Like it's just flat out not how it freaking works . So insane to me that these people continue to have these containers .

Speaker 1 9:46

I also don't like that word . There's like so many things I could go on about this but that's fine . These things that are so outrageously outpriced and it's meant to make you think that if you pay this amount , that's what's going to get you to the next level , like that's your guaranteed shot up to business stardom , or like what ? That's not how this shit works , point blank , period . Not how it works . It's unreal . And when you really look at it , the reason why it looks like it's working for the people that are getting paid that is because they're getting a bunch of people to pay them that and therefore they're making a lot of money off of it . Like I just I don't know . I feel like it's just the time to start saying these things because I don't know . It's obvious .

Speaker 1 11:02

But at the same time , I know that marketing gets people sucked into the shit and then you get it in your head that this is the thing that you need . This has got to be it , this has got to be the thing that's going to work . Or you're just starting out and you see all of these , like you know luxury things and you see all the grand , whatever they're flushing , and like look at me , lifestyle and you could have this and you know all you have to do is but that's not all you have to do . That's like that's the big key here . That's not all you have to do . There's so much that goes into it . You have to build an actual business to get there , and I mean , unless you're willing to do the same thing is the caveat , I suppose .

Speaker 1 12:11

But I don't think that a lot of people listening to this podcast are wanting to do that , and it really it's . You know , it's interesting that so much of this sticks around and keeps happening and I think it's starting to change a little bit . But more people need to actually say something about it , and I've been told before I've been told actually multiple times that instead of like speaking up about it or saying anything , that instead I should just stick to , you know , showing what I can provide and whatever , showing the benefits of what I do , and that's great and fine and I do all of that . I do all of that . But also I think that there is hugely something to be said about bringing awareness to these kind of things , because the only way that this kind of bullshittery is going to end is if we actually talk about it , because otherwise it's just perpetuated and it continues . And you know , it's kind of talked about behind the scenes and we have these conversations going on behind closed doors , so to say , but no one's actually saying anything and so it continues .

Speaker 1 14:10

But everyone well , most people are actually thinking that you know it shouldn't be happening . But then you have people that are investing in it because no one's saying anything , or they're thinking that other people are investing in it because that's the thing that you have to do and it's not . It is 100,000% , 100,000 , 100k , not 100K , not Like these masterminds . You know it's not the thing . And so so often it comes up and you'll see these promoted and even the support in them , and things are just very questionable . Many times there's not even one-on-one support . Like what are you truly getting out of this ? These are like .

Speaker 1 15:21

These are the kind of things that I really question because , well , I think that we should . We should be questioning this and you should be questioning this all of the time when you go to invest in anyone . You should be questioning this all of the time when you go to invest in anyone . You should be questioning this . But especially at that level , it just doesn't make sense . I mean , unless I don't even know , I don't know what the amount would be that would be appropriate to be making to invest that Like I don't . I don't think I can put a number on that , right , but it's definitely not when you're starting your business , and this whole concept of that's what you need to do in order to you know quantum leap and make it to the big time of business and whatever else , is not real , like that's not reality . That's not what you need to do . You need to have actual , you know strategies in place that are right for your business .

Speaker 1 16:44

Support is one thing . Yes , I do think that support is very beneficial , obviously , but there is no way that you need to pay that much for it . That is just totally crazy , crazy out of line and , like I said , the other thing with this is like you have invested a lot . This isn't like a thing where you should feel bad , because I know many people , many people , myself included have invested in things where we're like , fuck , I shouldn't have done that , like that wasn't worth it , like fuck , I shouldn't have done that , like that wasn't worth it . And it's not something where you need to feel bad about it or feel , you know , whatever it happened and now it's time to like move on from that .

Speaker 1 17:37

It was unfortunate , but you know , there's so many things that play into it and a lot of time . It's good marketing and sometimes the marketing and the services that you actually get do not match up and we're going to talk about that in another episode also , and we're going to talk about that in another episode also . But I don't think that you need to , you know , start being hard on yourself or anything because of that . There's so many people that have done this and have , you know , regretted or figured out that it wasn't actually a good investment . But I mean , you just move forward from it . There's nothing you can do about it now . So it's not like this is nothing to shame anyone If you have invested in a 100k mastermind .

Speaker 1 18:44

I would like to know what your experience was in it , just out of curiosity , because I think that that would be interesting and I'm not going to like blast it all over the place , but unless you wanted to , actually , when you really think about this , do you hear anyone coming out and talking about , oh hey , the 100K mastermind that I was in ? That's what did it for me . I haven't . Maybe there are people you can show me if there are . I don't know . Um , but those are kind of my thoughts on that and I would love to hear what you think about the 100 K mastermind . It sounds like it's like almost far-fetched , but you can search it . Sounds like it's like almost far-fetched , but you can search it . They are there . There are multiple , unfortunately , of them , and I have a feeling that they won't be going away too soon , although the FTC has said that they're going to crack down on things . So maybe Because I feel like that would be the one That'd probably be the one To be like yeah , no , probably don't do that anymore , but we'll see . We'll see how that goes , so you can let me know what your thoughts are on the 100 K mastermind and if you have ever invested in one , let me know .
