Guides
Everything on this site comes down to one model: 8–12 people in a room, a structure for solving each other's problems 8 minutes at a time, and a recurring revenue stream of $1,000–$5,000 per member per month. These guides work the model through — definition, launch, pricing, costs, math, and the mistakes to design around — written from Brad Hart's experience inside 100+ masterminds and 25 of his own.
