Four Friends Turned A Private Mastermind Into A Book Deal

Learn how personal and professional bonds of friendship led to an incredibly successful collaboration.

One of the problems facing any entrepreneur with a good idea is the time it takes to plan and execute that idea. Whether it’s a new business or a project, working alone is a sometimes insurmountable challenge.

And that was the exact problem facing Stephanie Liu, Jenn Herman and Mike Allton.

Individually, they’d each dreamed of having their own paid membership group and, individually, they’d never been able to find the time. Then one day it occurred to them that if they worked together, if they collaborated, they’d find success. The three of them brought in a fourth expert, Amanda Robinson, and formed the 360 Marketing Squad.

Leveraging their unique and complimentary marketing prowess, they formed a successful paid membership group and then, within a couple years, leveraged that expertise and authority to sign a book deal with Entrepreneur Press to write Ultimate Guide to Social Media Marketing with Eric Butow.

“While the membership group and book are fantastic, the ultimate benefit to this collaboration – the outcome I’m most proud of and grateful for – is the personal and professional bond that the four of us have formed,” said co-author and co-founder, Mike Allton. “Through our personal mastermind group, we’ve given each other an unparalleled level of support and encouragement that the book itself is a testament to. We hope that business owners and social media managers are helped by all of the strategy and information we poured into that book but, more importantly, use the project to be inspired to connect and collaborate with peers of their own.”
