What separates a mastermind that disappoints from one that delivers real results?

In this episode of Life-Changing Money, Barbara Schreihans sits down with repeat guest and CMO of Your Tax Coach, Whitney Abraham, to pull back the curtain on The Council Mastermind, the year-long business coaching experience designed for multi–six-figure entrepreneurs ready to scale to seven.

They discuss what it actually takes to build a mastermind that delivers real ROI, why women business owners need proximity and community, and how strategic marketing, mindset, and confidence work together to create unstoppable growth.

If you’ve ever felt burned by masterminds that overpromised and underdelivered, this conversation will show you exactly what makes The Council different and why it’s the most transformative room you can be in.

Tune in to hear:

• How Barbara turned disappointing mastermind experiences into the blueprint for The Council
• Why community and collaboration often lead to breakthroughs that private coaching can’t deliver
• The behind-the-scenes look at The Council’s retreats (including one in Greece!) and what happens at each one
• How Whitney helps members master marketing strategy, launch planning, and building confidence online
• The truth about why most business owners struggle to show up and sell—and how to overcome it
• Why “success loves speed” and what it looks like to take fast, aligned action
• How mindset, energetics, and business strategy intersect to create exponential results
• Why curation of the right people in the room matters more than anything else
• What it really means to invest in proximity and how it changes your business (and life)
• The exact application process and what kind of entrepreneur The Council is designed for
