CHARLOTTE CHAPTER
JOIN CHARLOTTE'S MOST ELITE ENTREPRENEUR STRATEGY NETWORK
You’re invited to experience the power of the Lemonade Maker® Mastermind — join us as a guest, free of charge, on December 12, 2025 at Venture X in Toringdon/Ballantyne/Charlotte.
"Solving problems isn't just about survival, it's an opportunity to create something amazing!"
—Thomas Minieri
BEYOND WHAT'S POSSIBLE ALONE
If you’re an entrepreneur feeling stuck, stressed, or tired of spinning your wheels, this is the place for you.
I’m Thomas Minieri — eight-figure CEO + franchisor, business psychology expert, author of Lemonade Maker®, and mentor to entrepreneurs nationwide.
Since Charlotte is my home base, I’ve built something unique here: a local mastermind where business owners meet in person to collaborate, problem-solve, and share strategies that actually work.
Each mastermind session is workshop style and designed to help you solve real challenges, uncover new opportunities, and build smarter systems that drive measurable growth — far beyond surface networking.
Our December 12 agenda is as follows:
Lost in the Marketing Maze? Working Harder Than Ever But Business Still Feels Stuck?
If you’ve ever wasted money on agencies or followed bad advice from “gurus,” this eye-opening session will expose the traps, lies, and misconceptions holding your business back.
Part 1: The 4 Origins of Innovation
Mastering the Art of Innovation
If your marketing isn’t working, start with your ideas, not your ads.
This session reveals the four original sources of innovation that create natural differentiation and make your brand unmistakable.
✅ Learn why “different” always beats “better.”
✅ Find your company’s innovation origin point — the key to standing out in your market.
✅ Workshop how to turn unique ideas into practical marketing that attracts customers effortlessly.
Part 2: The Marketing Wake-Up Call
Marketing not working? You’re not broken — you’ve been misled.
If you’ve ever wasted money on agencies or followed bad advice from “gurus,” this eye-opening session will expose the traps, lies, and misconceptions holding your business back.
Discover what’s really sabotaging your marketing, learn how to regain control of your message and results, and walk into 2026 with clarity, confidence, and momentum.
In this session, you’ll uncover:
✅ Why your marketing isn’t performing — and the hidden factors no one talks about.
✅ The traps entrepreneurs fall into when hiring agencies, freelancers, and gig workers
✅ The lies and misconceptions that quietly drain profits and stall growth
✅ A breakthrough framework that simplifies marketing and increases effectiveness
✅ How to reclaim control, confidence, and strategic direction for 2026
Part 3: Escaping the Self-Employment Trap
From being the business to building the business — proven method to scale beyond yourself.
Most entrepreneurs are stuck trading time for dollars (even high-paid professionals). This session helps you step into the architect role — building systems, recurring revenue, and real freedom.
✅ Shift from earned income (doer) to scalable passive income (builder).
✅ The three essential skillsets every CEO needs to level up now.
✅ Design a business that grows while you’re not there.
