2010 Inner Circle Members Page

Please note that while we polled our group on how many would return in next year’s mastermind, 98% of the group said “BIG YES!!!” we respect our members and have not posted everyone’s glowing and truly incredible breakthroughs and reviews, as much of their work and experience was deeply personal and we respect that! 

Every person got at least one million dollar idea, some people got multi—million dollar ideas.

It’s Trevor ‘Toecracker’ Crook I’m at Pirate’s Cove as a guest of Stefanie Hartman in a mastermind group.

Now, I came down as a guest and also as a speaker. But from the moment I arrived the people I met are amazing. I’ve been in mastermind groups where people don’t really contribute. In this group everybody contributed. Every person got at least one million dollar idea, some people got multi—million dollar ideas.

It’s like a frenzy of sharks attacking fish with ideas coming all over the place and people’s heads are spinning because of the amount of money they’ll make just from this weekend if they get off their butt and implement, and I know Stefanie personally will make sure they’ll implement.

So do yourself a favor. If you can get on her mastermind group, do it. It will be the best decision you’ve ever made.

I was able to finally reinvent a piece of my business.

My name is Robert Hubbs. My website is MyBusinessToolbox.com. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. One of the challenges when you undertake something for the first time that looks at changes the very fabric of what you do, the thoughts of what you are having, you never know what to expect coming out of it.

I came with an idea of reinventing a piece of my business. I’ve done that for my clients for many years. I’ve reinvented their products, I’ve reinvented their businesses, I’ve reinvented how they work with their clients, but I’ve never undertaken that for myself. All of the sudden, I had to take my expertise and presented it to people who knew nothing about my industry and knew nothing about my business. They weren’t looking at what it was that I do, but they were thinking about how it was that I’m communicating that.

A group of people who I basically don’t know got to know enough about me and my business in a matter of 45 minutes to help me essentially reinvent what I do. It’s still me, it’s still my expertise seen through their eyes. The value of that? I don’t know how to put a price on it. I couldn’t have done it, I couldn’t have told you what it would have been worth before, and I couldn’t have told you what it would take to do that despite the fact that I’ve done it for other clients and I know what I charge them.

I also know it’s completely different when you do it for yourself. You can’t see it. You don’t know what you are going to do until you get there. Here, a group of people who I just met led me through that process. I can’t put a price on that. I just know it works.

One of the great things about getting connected with this event and being here is that we all were our authentic selves — jumping in pools, in a hot tub, sliding down the water slides, etc. How many times do you get to go to a top—notch corporate retreat or any place else and play on a water slide? We undervalue that.

We undervalue what it does for you as a person and how much it connects you to those other people and how quickly that happens. That’s probably a large part of why in 45 minutes you can make those kind of changes, because you have people who — the pretense is already gone. Everybody has been in a bathing suit, running around, in a hot tub. It gets a little easier to talk about your own corporate dirty laundry as it were. It’s connecting without being overwhelming.

When you have no expectations of who you are going to meet or what’s going to happen, everybody is something you didn’t think was going to happen and yet everybody is exactly what I wanted. Go figure! Wasn’t looking for it and that’s when you find it.

The insights we’ve got from so many people with different projects was on itself worth Ten Times the hours I’ve spent traveling here and the money I’ve spent to be here.

Hello, I’m Paul Ramon from Belgium. I came to this extraordinary, fantastic place Pirate’s Cove in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’m absolutely flabbergasted by the creativity of the owner of this place. It’s really beautiful and exceptional.

But, of course, the main purpose for me to come here is to work with Stefanie and a team on the project for business and I have to say it was absolutely fantastic. The insights we’ve got from so many people with different projects was on itself worth ten times hours I’ve spent traveling to here and the money I’ve spent to be here. But it was just a fountain of goldmines in every session that we had.

There were some special elements for me too, because I’m a little bit of a creative guy and not really focusing on what I need to do and where I need to go with things. The course’s structure really helps to focus on the things that are really going to bring in the money.

So for me this Business Olympics participation was fantastic and I’m looking forward to the next session. If you can do it, you would absolutely have to follow it. It’s really extraordinary experience. If you have the money for it, go for it, and it will bring you so much quicker to where you want to go. Absolutely do it. My recommendation.
Paul Ramon

Since I joined this program two years ago, I have simply SOARED! 

Hi, I’m Ross Arntson. I just want to let you know that the Business Olympians course is the bomb. You’ve got to get involved with this.

Stefanie puts together not only just an expert staff to help you along with your business and every aspect of your business, but look, this is where we do it. We are in the environment that is so creative and so fun, that you can’t help but expand and grow.

So if you really want to move to the next level in your business, or actually even 2 or 3 levels above, you need to get involved with the Business Olympians with Stefanie Hartman. It is the absolute best decision you’ll ever make.

I Stepped into my Power, Mapped my Future & even WON an Award!

Hi, this is Carmen Dragomir. I’m an interior designer from Canada. Right now I’m actually in one of my favorite countries in Europe, which is Denmark. I love being here because I have so much to see in fashion design, interior design, furniture design, lighting design — I feel like I’m in heaven.

I’m here actually shortly after I finished my Mastermind Circle Group in Vegas, Nevada where I have been experiencing one of my favorite brainstorming sessions. It’s one of the best investments I’ve done in my business to be able to brainstorm and exchange ideas with likeminded people. I think I’ve actually achieved more than I expected, but it’s probably the best not to have any expectations.

I would highly recommend this mastermind group to any business entrepreneur. If you want to take your business to the next level, this is the investment that you need.

I was blown away by all the ideas, the energy, the enthusiasm from my project. I was so motivated that night, it took about an hour or so to kind of transition down.

Hi, I’m Carole Litten from CaroleLitten.com and this is my first time here. I know Stefanie because I work with her in her MIT Program program and I knew that she gives great content for any of her instruction or experiences. So I willingly signed up, although I didn’t really know what was going to happen here. I just knew I was at the beginning of my business, at the beginning of the joint venture, and I had no idea what to expect, but I knew I was going to get something good.

So I showed up at Pirate’s Cove and there were immediately 20 people sort of in the same situation as me. But it didn’t start the following morning; it started right away, that evening, when I met Trevor and a couple of the other participants. Trevor, of course, is a copyright expert guest that Stefanie brought. We were sitting around the campfire and we started brainstorming right then and there. Immediately I got a great title for one of my projects.

Then the next morning I had to go and participate in the mastermind group. You’ve got to understand, I didn’t really know what the mastermind group really was. I had no idea what to expect. Stefanie comes up with the flip chart and then she said, “Who’s first?”

Well, I wanted to get started right away, because I had so much to know, so much to learn and the energy was fantastic. I was nervous thinking I didn’t really had that great of project or job or content, and I was blown away by all the ideas, the energy, the enthusiasm from my project. I was so motivated that night, it took about an hour or so to kind of transition down.

It’s a gift forever that I will take with me, the gift I was given with other people supporting my ideas, validating my ideas and contributing to my ideas.

Thank you, Stefanie! Thank you, Trevor! Thank you, Tania! Oh, and Jarrod, VP Minister of Transportation, thank you!

It’s been a phenomenal experience and I’m very, very grateful

I’m Dr. Joni Carley and this has been an amazing experience. I can’t believe it’s just the beginning! The mind power, the brain power, the range of experience in business and life and generosity of sharing and support has been really touching.

The potential that is my life and the potential magnified by all the people in the room is just hard to even imagine at this point. So it’s been a phenomenal experience and I’m very, very grateful. Thank you!
Dr. Joni Carley

I’ve had so many “aha’s!” I’ve already put together several joint ventures without even knowing what they are yet.

Greg Joseph here. I’m up here at the Pirate’s Cove with Stefanie Hartman and group here.

I came up here for brainstorming ideas for my business. I had all sorts of expectations and fears that were dispelled immediately by the cordial group of people here. I’ve had so many “aha’s!” I’ve already put together several joint ventures without even knowing what they are yet.

There’s so much support, there’s so much information here I never expected. This has been one of the best opportunities I’ve seen in a lifetime. I can’t wait to be all that I am out back in the world now. This is going to be a great one!
Greg Joseph

I’m amazed that Stefanie could pull together masterminds and powerful leaders that are obviously going to make a huge mark in this world and make change. You could see it coming.

My name is Robert Allan. I’ve just got to say that I’m humbled — is the word that comes to mind — being at this weekend retreat with brilliant entrepreneurs and creative geniuses that you don’t often run into when you are doing your own thing in everyday life. This has just been a very humbling experience for people that have been here. I’m amazed that Stefanie could pull together masterminds and powerful leaders that are obviously going to make a huge mark in this world and make change. You could see it coming.

Not only that, but the collaboration. Like one of the fellows that was here, Nat, a beautiful person, mentioned that we bonded and I really related to that because that’s what I felt was happening here, a bond with people from all over the countryside and even from Europe.

What I’m really excited about is not what we started today, but where it’s going to blossom to as we connect with each other further on down the road as we implement our plans and strategies that we’ve learned and shared here together. People have been so open about their plans and their ideas. The things that you would normally classify as trademark and the secret formulas, we just put it all on the table together with no fear, and the feedback was so pure, so powerful. I’m just thrilled to have been a part of it, very humbled and really looking forward to when I get back home and taken the little piece that’s mine and rolling it in a totally different direction than I had when I first came here.

This is the Most Supported I have felt in my Life — it was beyond words!

Hi, my name is Nat Couropmitree of ProsperityLighthouse.com and this is my second experience in Stefanie’s Confidant Circle. I wouldn’t say this experience is “so much better,” but it’s definitely a different experience.

I think what Stefanie has offered us here is to help us change this business paradigm of really getting together. It’s not just about business, but it’s also about play. I came here to play. Really. Sure, I want to grow my business. Sure, I want to figure out new ways to expand a business and make more income. But I came here to play and I came here to connect with people.

I’ve just truly had a blast. I’ve gone down the water slides, I played in the pool, I’ve laughed with people, learned so much about them and learned so much about myself through them. To have Trevor, the copyrighter, I’ve learned so much from him. To have him look at my copy and critique it was just truly priceless. There is so much more that I can say about this just really amazing experience, and yet I don’t know how to express it. It’s beyond words for me.

Would I recommend? Highly! I highly recommend this. Sign up, do whatever you need to do to make it possible because it would just be the best experience, probably one of the best experiences of your life.

It’s been the most wonderful experience to meet with likeminded people.

I’m Anne Ryan. In my life prior to today one of the things that I’ve done is to train and develop speakers who go out and present material to vast numbers of people.

Stefanie is a presenter and she does a fabulous job of that. She is also in this setting a person who allows everyone to speak and who allows ideas to flow. She has this wonderful, magical way that she draws out ideas that would never come out if they weren’t in this setting, with this person, with this ambiance. It is the most remarkable experience. I’m here at Pirate’s Cove that is the greatest playground that you can possibly imagine for a conference to happen. There’s pirates, there’s ships, there’s animals, there’s people, there’s skeletons, there’s swimming, there’s water slides, etc. Anyway, anything you love is here.

It’s been the most wonderful experience to meet with likeminded people — small group! — who actually have a passion to help you create your best business. It is so fabulous to have the time where you’re in the spotlight and they get to feed you their ideas, and you, in turn, get to feed them your ideas. All together we are helping each others’ businesses grow. I think Stefanie is fabulous. I think her process is incredible. I’m thrilled to death to be a member of her organization.
