Military Veteran Mastermind Group Forming

51 replies
Aloha Friends,

My name is Jason Cain and I have been a member here at the Warrior Forum since June of 2003.

If you don't know who I am, you can read my credentials here: Who The Frack Am I?

I am looking for military veterans that are interested in joining my mastermind group.

Prerequisites?

1) You have to be a military veteran (US, UK, Canada)
2) You either are -- or want to be a fulltime information marketer.
3) You have to be willing to actively participate.
4) Have a positive attitude.

If you are interested, send me an email (goldblogger at g m a i l-dot-com ) telling me about yourself and your business. Include links to your websites and contact phone numbers.

Aloha,

Jason

      Aloha Carl,

      In the email you send me, tell me the niches you're interested in, with links to sites that you have in that niche. If they aren't productive that is fine. Trust me, we can get you there.

      Aloha,

      Jason

        Yep, you sound like a Marine lol.

        Got a sister who served in the Marines (I've got 4 brothers and 3 sisters and out of the 8 of us, 6 of us have served or are serving in the military, so I have a lot of military stories) and she's got that same attitude...looks like all that telling you were "special" sunk in and y'all started believing it lol!

        LMAO at the air farce...my brother is the only one who didn't go Army or Marines so he gets a lot of the same sh!t every time we get together.

        @Swaggs - that had to be a tough job. We've helped them load those things before and everything has to be loaded just right.

        @Drudge - what branch you in?

        Love the idea of a military mastermind group simply because military guys (and gals) already know the power of teamwork and camaraderie. Honestly didn't realize there were this many military and ex-military marketers. Never met any in my years in service, just kind of figured I was walking a lonely road.

        I'll drop you an email Marine. Hooah!

    Didn't know jarheads knew how to use computers lol...j/k!

    Staff sergeant, U.S. Army, 9 years in and currently on my 3rd tour in the Middle East.

    How's Hawaii? I've never been there but definitely want to check it out. It looks beautiful from all the pictures I've seen.

    Your idea of a military mastermind sounds intriguing...brings to mind thoughts of Patton, except storming the Internet, not beachheads.

      I retired from the Honolulu PD a few years back and am living in the People's Republic of Canada right now. I go back to Hawaii about every six months to visit family and friends.

      EXACTLY.

      Not just the Internet. We are marketers, not Internet marketers. If you make $1 online, you can make $2-5 offline. We will talk about that.

      Send me an email as referenced in the initial post you non-reading frack.

      Aloha,

    The Air Force? I can't stand Air Force soldiers (j/k), if only because their branch looks out for them so well. Seriously, we're on an AF base right now and these guys have it all! Pool, basketball, theater, weightlifting, a movie server, wi-fi in the rooms...it's like a vacation, not a deployment.

    Kudos to the Air Force for knowing how to make their guys feel taken care of...and all we need now is a Navy guy to form the four branches lol

      Aloha Friends,

      To answer a few of the questions...

      1. Is it okay if I am new to marketing?

      Yes, that is okay. However it is important to realize this is a mastermind group not a coaching club.

      It would be like putting a platoon into combat with nothing but a bunch of privates and PFCs. Without a solid group of NCOs there to share their experience, and lead -- we'd be as effective as the freakin' FRENCH Army!

      I can't see myself as turning ANY vet or serviceman away, so what I will do is this...

      I am going to set up a few groups. I will balance them out so we have a good representation of experience levels, that way we will be more effective and WE DON"T LEAVE ANYONE BEHIND. I know you will all agree with me on that.

      2. Can I be on active duty?

      If you are still active duty, you are more than welcome to join our group.


      3. Do I have to be a vet, or currently serving?

      For now, yes. I hope you understand. We are trying to take care of our own as we get organized. If a group is formed that wishes to take you as a member then that is their choice.

      4. What is this mastermind group going to help with?

      Traffic
      Product creation
      Outsourcing contacts (web designers, customer service, transcription, link building)
      Blogging
      Business building
      Focusing your efforts!!!
      Backend revenue streams
      Advertising
      List building
      Merchant accounts
      Best practices
      SOPs (Standard operating procedures for you flyboys)
      And much more...

      [b]5. So what do I do again?[/]

      SEND ME AN EMAIL -> goldblogger-at-g m a i l-dot-c0m

      I also encourage you to comment on this thread in addition to emailing me.

      Aloha,

    @ Carl - it is indeed a task better off forgotten lol.

    @ Ethan - Oh snap, got a Navy guy. Welcome to the only mastermind group with REAL combat experience. My cousin works on submarines, he's stationed out in Georgia right now but he did a stint up in Washington state. Something like 6 months under at a time...that's gotta be rough.

    Got all four branches, now we just need someone to go find the Marine...he seems to be lost lol.

      Greetings

      Not sure how the heck I missed this post but I'm definitely interested.

      Considering that most of us have the potential to be direct competitors and SME's on anything military I'm not gonna discuss my specific niches at this point. (FYI my niches are Military related)

      I have several specific military offers that I run and I'm making a killing with them. I have a plan would love to work with other Current and Former Military.

      Oh, I'm and SFC that managers a recruiting station

      Thanks

    Emails were sent out. Those of you who did not reply as requested (sending me an email to my GMAIL account) were not considered. Currently, the 8 spots in one group were filled. If you wish to be considered, when a spot opens up, then send me an email as stated in the first message of this thread.
