The reality of crazy-busy entrepreneurs
You carry big goals. Who carries them with you?
You already know what to do. The pressure is consistency, honest feedback, and a place to think out loud with people who understand the weight you carry. Harvard Business Review research found that 50% of CEOs report feeling lonely in the role, and 61% say it hurts their performance.1
That isolation tends to show up the same way for ambitious solopreneurs and small business owners:
- Too many ideas competing for the same hours, with no one to pressure-test them.
- Decisions made alone, late, and second-guessed afterward.
- Real momentum that stalls the moment the week gets busy.
- A calendar full of people who report to you, and no room where you can be the one being challenged while fully supported.
How the room works
One laser-focused session, every other Wednesday
You will be coached on how to get the most from your cohort and accountability partners. The concept goes back to Napoleon Hill, who described a mastermind as the coordination of knowledge and effort among people working toward a definite purpose.2 The Smart Mastermind™ puts that to work in a tight, repeatable twice-monthly rhythm.
Wins and challenges
You share achievements and what worked well. With newfound clarity and confidence, each member learns to speak directly about grueling challenges, where they feel stuck, or where they need detailed support.
Hot-seat coaching
Volunteer for a small breakout group to go deeper on overwhelming issues, or benefit from the focus of your entire cohort. You get concentrated feedback in bullet points from Coach McCoy and five peers who have faced similar challenges.
Accountability check-ins
You name the commitments you are making, hear feedback that helps you prioritize, and get help filling gaps or missing steps. Your community holds you accountable to follow through, and asks whether you plan to stop, continue, or course-correct.
Strategic brainstorming
A collaborative mentorship dynamic where you share best practices and learn impactful insights from one another. You solve big problems and make better decisions together, translating them into one to three clear steps to act on right away.
What you walk away with
Accountability that compounds
People join a mastermind for strategy. They stay for momentum, belonging, and proximity to peers operating at a high level.
95%
Follow-through
The American Society for Training & Development found people reach a goal 65% of the time after committing to someone, rising to 95% with a scheduled accountability appointment.3

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is the Smart Mastermind?
The Smart Mastermind is a mastermind for entrepreneurs: a small, ongoing group of six driven founders who meet virtually for 90 minutes twice a month, on the first and second Wednesdays. Facilitated by Coach Shannon McCoy of Cdaeris Agency, it provides peer feedback, structured accountability, and a trusted room to think out loud and move ideas into action.
How often does the group meet and for how long?
The group meets twice a month for 90 minutes each session, online. Membership is ongoing, so you stay in the room as long as it serves your goals.
Who is it for?
It is built for mission-driven entrepreneurs, ambitious solopreneurs, small business owners, and self-promoted experts. The common thread is ambition paired with the weight of carrying big goals without a trusted room to process them.
How many people are in each group?
Six. Each cohort is intentionally capped at six members so every person gets airtime, the group builds real trust, and Coach McCoy can facilitate with depth.
What does it cost to join?
Membership is $397 per person billed quarterly at $1,191, $2,250 per person for six months, or $4,500 per person for a full year. Private cohorts for a single organization are priced custom based on group size and format.
How is a mastermind different from one-on-one coaching?
One-on-one coaching gives you a single advisor. A mastermind adds the lived experience of five peers who face similar pressures, plus group accountability. You gain more perspectives, more relationships, and a standing appointment that keeps you executing.
Who facilitates the sessions?
Coach Shannon McCoy, a coach and accountability partner with Cdaeris Agency. He is known for deep, strategic listening, clear truth-telling, and practical solutions that leaders use to turn vision into measurable results.
