Phone-A-Friend

An Online Mastermind Group For Entrepreneurs

Being a digital entrepreneur is a solitary journey. Especially at the beginning. 

We’re striving to build our livelihoods online, but there’s something that can be really disconcerting about that. Much of what we’ve spent our precious time making lives ::gestures wildly:: out there.

In the ether. On the internet.

It’s a vulnerable thing to put your heart and mind out there for all to see, especially when you feel like it's not going well - or even when it is going well but there's nobody who understands how hard the journey was so celebrations fall a bit flat.

Plus, our work often isn't tangible, which can make it hard to explain what we actually do. 

In short: the uphill trek of running your own online business or side hustle can feel lonely.

How do I feel by the end of the day?

Are you sad because you're on your own?


No, I get by with a little help from my friends…

Listen. We all need friends on this road. But it can be hard to find like-minded people who are building their businesses on the interwebs.

That’s where I come in...

Meet Your Mastermind Host

Meet Lauren Gaggioli, your online business coach.


Hi! I’m Lauren Gaggioli.

I’ve been an entrepreneur since 2008. In that time, I’ve:

  • built two educational businesses - one in-home tutoring company and one ACT & SAT prep business run entirely via asynchronous online courses,
  • hosted a successful podcast with over 300,000 downloads and 80+ 5-star reviews,
  • sold my online course business to a colleague in the industry, and 
  • founded a new company (this one!) dedicated to helping digital entrepreneurs and small business owners like yourself build their businesses more strategically and more profitably.

I’ve invested thousands of hours and dollars in ongoing education both in practical, tactical online business strategies and in leveling up my mindset. 

And I’ve attended and spoken at numerous entrepreneurial conferences and met incredible, kind-hearted entrepreneurs, many of whom I now count among my dearest friends.

Through all of this work, I’ve unearthed my Big Why and it is this…

I am here to help others actualize their unrealized potential.

What this pithy little statement does for me is point me to True North each and every day. 

It is my life’s calling to help folks like yourself identify the areas of their businesses where they aren’t fully leveraging the opportunities available to them. Then I help them come up with a plan to take the action necessary to achieve the results they’re looking for.

Helping you fully realize your potential and bring that potential to bear in the marketplace and in your life beyond business is my calling.

So if that sounds like something you could use help with then I am here to support you.

Here's How The Online Mastermind Works

Most of the entrepreneurs and small business owners that I know are at tipping points in their businesses. 

They’ve been honing their craft for a long time. They’re ready to level up.

But - before they do - they’re often cash-strapped, time-strapped, or both.

While there are many wonderful options for joining a mastermind online, many are either prohibitively expensive or require a significant time commitment. 

I wanted to shift what an online mastermind group conventionally looks like to meet scrappy entrepreneurs like yourself where you are so you can get the support and accountability that you need in a way that fits into your business and your life's needs at the moment.

With that in mind, here’s how I host my online mastermind groups…

When Does The Online Mastermind Group Meet?

I offer two 60-minute mastermind sessions per week:

  • Monday afternoons at 4:00p (Pacific) / 7:00p (Eastern)
  • Thursday afternoons at 12:30p (Pacific) / 3:30p (Eastern)

Who Can Join The Mastermind Group?

This mastermind group is for entrepreneurs and small business owners looking for accountability and guidance.

If you're an entrepreneur (or a long-time wantreprenreur), you can sign up to join an online mastermind session.

Whether you've just begun your journey into online business and are in the ideation phase or have had a business a while and want to get feedback or be accountable to someone other than yourself to deliver on the ideas you're having, this group is a great place to find the support you need to keep going...and make some like-minded friends along the way!

How Many People Can Join A Virtual Mastermind Session?

I limit each online mastermind group meeting to just 6 entrepreneurs.

This ensures that everyone has time in the spotlight to ask their business questions and gain the support they need to:

  • stop the spin cycle and determine their next right business step, 
  • address the mindset blocks that are keeping them from making progress, or
  • discover practical tools or strategies that can help them level up faster.

What Will We Work On During The Call?

Because my hour-long virtual mastermind groups are capped at just 6 entrepreneurs, you will be sure to have the floor for at least 10 minutes.

During these sessions, the mastermind group is here to help you...

  • work through any challenges you’re facing in your business, 
  • workshop new ideas before you develop them into products and services,
  • provide accountability to the action you committed to in a previous session, and
  • support you as you optimize your strategic approach and celebrate your wins.

How Much Does The Online Mastermind Cost?

The biggest hindrance I see for most mastermind groups for entrepreneurs is the cost and time commitment required, so I've created the following pricing plans to aim to accommodate entrepreneurs and small business owners at every level.

But I want to make sure that we're the perfect fit to work together too, so you can join your first mastermind meeting for just $25.

After your first session, you can decide if we’re a good fit to work together on a more regular basis.

  • Monday afternoons at 4:00p (Pacific) / 7:00p (Eastern)

Step 2. Fill out the pre-call questionnaire.

After you book your session, you will be sent a pre-call questionnaire by email. It includes just a few simple questions so I can get a sense of what you'd like to discuss on our call.

It takes no longer than 5 minutes to fill out and will give me the ability to provide the most value to you during our time together.

Please fill the questionnaire at least one day prior to our call so I have time to look it over and start brainstorming some ideas for you.

Step 3. Join the virtual mastermind group on Zoom.

Once you've booked your spot in the mastermind session of your choosing and filled out the questionnaire, all that's left is to meet!


When you register, you'll receive a Zoom link by email.


Just hop on the call when it's time to meet, and I will see you there!

Frequently Asked Questions

I'm looking for a small business accountability mastermind. Is this group for me?

It absolutely can be! I host this mastermind group to fit your needs, so if there's something you have been dragging your feet taking action on in your small business, I can help you stay on track and accountable to the action that you've committed to taking.

To leverage these mastermind sessions for accountability, I'd recommend purchasing a 4- or 8-session mastermind package and then reserving your time on my calendar in regular intervals. 

A meeting cadence of every 2 weeks is ideal when you're leveraging these sessions as accountability mastermind sessions but, as ever, the choice is yours. If a different cadence works better for you, by all means, reserve your time accordingly.

In the file I keep on your business and progress, we'll make note of the specific actions you've committed to taking before our next meeting and I will ask you about it on the next call you attend.

This online mastermind can be a fantastic ally in helping you remaining accountable to the actions you've committed to take and begin to make more progress and gain momentum in your small business.

Where does the online mastermind group meet?

The mastermind group meets on Zoom. 

I start the meeting about 10 minutes before our official start time so we have a moment to chat before diving into our official working hour.

What happens if I’m the only one who books a mastermind session?

Winner, winner. Chicken dinner!

While I open up 6 spots for each hour-long group mastermind session, if you’re the only person who reserved a spot for the session, you get a private online business coaching session with me for the price of the mastermind session.

If even 1 person signs up, I will be there with bells on prepared to support you and your business goals. 

What kinds of questions should I bring to the mastermind group?

Honestly, you are welcome to bring anything you like that pertains to your business. 

This is a great place to:

  • workshop ideas for new products or services you’d like to offer,
  • get feedback on copy you’ve crafted for your emails or website,
  • talk through specific challenges or roadblocks you’re facing, or
  • discuss your workflow with an eye on improving your systems.

You’re also highly encouraged to bring your wins so we can celebrate with you. It’s always nice to have your success acknowledged by those who understand how hard won those victories are. 

We’re here to join you when you’re on top of the mountain, down in the valley, or anywhere in between on this entrepreneurial adventure. 

How far in advance can I book my virtual mastermind session?

You must reserve your spot no later than 48 hours prior to the session, but I have the full schedule published up to 3 months out so you can plan ahead and reserve future meetings on your calendar in advance.

While you’re able to change your reservation until 48 hours prior to the session because, ya know, life happens, I want to help as many entrepreneurs as possible with this mastermind. 

With that spirit of collaboration in mind, please reserve only the times that you’re genuinely committed to attending.

What if I have a package that’s expiring and there aren’t enough open sessions for me to book?

Listen… we’re all professionals here. Please pick a package that you’re reasonably certain you have the time to take full advantage of before it expires.

You have 180 days (about 6 months) to use your packages. And I offer two meetings per week most weeks.

I also keep tabs on how many of your fellow digital entrepreneurs have purchased packages to ensure that I have enough room to accommodate everyone who has reserved time with me.

I do everything in my power to ensure that you will have the access you need to fulfill your packages, but it is your responsibility to show up and use what you have signed up for before the deadline.

What if I prefer private online business coaching to a group mastermind experience?

We can do that! I’d love to help you in whatever way serves you and your business best.
