I've actually just started a Mastermind group, and I opted to start a group of local women rather than going online. I feel like some of the connection gets lost via Skype or Google Hangouts, and other women I approached…"
Scott Beebe replied to Caleb Simpson's discussion Starting/Finding a Mastermind Group"Caleb,
I understand your concern about price. Finding the right Mastermind, $275 will translate into multiple times return. Don't let price be your determining factor...figure out a way to pay for it.
Dan always says, "if you…"

Starting/Finding a Mastermind Group
Having recently read Think and Grow Rich I have been inspired to start or join a Mastermind Group. But where I have been struggling is that first step.I don't know if I should try to form one locally, or join one through the web that meets over Skype or Google Hangouts. I'm in the Consumer Packaged Goods space, and we are based out of Austin making organic energy bars (www.beardedbros.com) and Austin is a hot bed for packaged food startups, BUT most of…See More

Robin Marshall said… - Hi Caleb! In Tennessee you can get a domestic kitchen license and work out of a home kitchen for certain foods. I'm not sure what the laws are in TX but you should check on that. The other option might be to look for a commercial kitchen for hourly rent. "The Kitchen Space" in Austin looks like it might be promising. Check the website. www.thekitchenspace.com
This is hands down the least expensive way to get in a kitchen and get started with making your product and poses very little risk to you. Facilities like this are usually a great resource of information as well and can probably help you with all aspects of making, packaging, labeling, etc.
I really hope this helps!

- Caleb - congrats on everything and the future Wife - and how you plan on Loving her. Your marriage will rock if you keep that the focus. I am in a marriage now that I had no idea was possible - I would have never dreamed it could be this great simply because Christ is our foundation and we lay our relationship at the foot of the cross. I am in Austin as well we should grab some healthy coffee somewhere!
