Are all Mastermind groups the same?
"Mastermind" groups appear to be 'popping up' all over the place at the moment, which is GREAT for business owners looking to join a group. But also confusing.

FEAR – Facing FEAR, so you can do it anyway!
Have you ever been so afraid of failing at something that you decided not to try it at all?
