Christian Indie Publishing Association Mastermind Groups

The writing world is a solitary profession, but it doesn’t have to be. We can band together to support one another and learn from each other through CIPA mastermind groups. There is an indie author and a small publisher mastermind group. You must be a CIPA member to participate in the CIPA mastermind groups.

CIPA Mastermind Group

What is a Mastermind Group?

A mastermind group aims to have peers help one another solve problems through input, brainstorming, and advice. As a group you will learn and grow together. The nature of the mastermind group is that participants challenge each other to implement higher-level goals. And when those goals are met, the group as a whole celebrates.

Praying together for one another and about business issues is inspirational. We are God’s hands and feet on this Earth trying to do his will. Having a fellow Christian beside you helps to spiritually support you.

Benefits of a Mastermind Group

The benefits of joining a CIPA mastermind group are many including:

  1. Learning from others’ experiences and expand your knowledge.
  2. Exchanging ideas and get new ideas for your business.
  3. Finding solutions to your problems that you would not have found yourself.
  4. Growing closer to members and thereby obtain new network connections from people who are willing to help you.
  5. Reviewing your monthly goals with the group, and thereby become more committed to attaining those goals.
  6. Being positively influenced by this group.
