"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, 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 November 14 agenda is as follows:
Lost in the Marketing Maze?
Start with innovation — not ads. At our upcoming CEO Strategy Meetup, you’ll learn how true growth starts with leadership and ideas, not just more marketing gobbledygook.
Part 1: The 3 Roles of the CEO
Discover your true leadership DNA.
Every entrepreneur naturally leads from one of three roles (find out what they are inside) — and each has powerful strengths and hidden blind spots.
✅ Identify which role you’re leading from (and how it’s helping or hurting growth).
✅ Learn how to balance the other two roles so your company becomes unshakable.
✅ Create your “CEO Growth Triangle” — a simple system to multiply output through alignment.
Part 2: 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 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.
