Imagine being able to sit down with your peers and discuss the key aspects, challenges,
and issues you face as a decorative artist, and collectively mastermind ideas and
solutions. Imagine sharing your successes and your failures, while developing a
support network of lasting friendships. Masterminding is an extremely powerful
tool used to not only overcome challenges and solve problems, but as a creative vehicle
to propel people, businesses, and industries to the next level. This one day has
been heralded as "...Worth the registration price alone!"
The inspiration for the Masterminds for the Decorative Finish
Artist is attributed to a book titled Think and Grow Rich by author
Napoleon Hill. His philosophy is Leadership, Self-Motivation, and Individual
Achievement. The book characterizes a meeting of minds, or better put,
Mastermind groups where many people put their thoughts, ideas, and experiences
together to create a synergy and compilation of ideas that benefit each individual.
