Many creative entrepreneurs in today’s changing climate feel overwhelmed, anxious and alone in their creativity and their work. In response to this, ARC’s Sachin Khona created Mastermind groups to provide the motivation, support, insights, accountability, and tools you need to grow; setting you up to succeed within a network of small business owners determined to level-up.

What Exactly Is A Mastermind?
A Mastermind combines peer brainstorming, accountability, and support in a group setting. The goal is to create solutions, share resources and achieve success for your business. Our aim at ARC is to set you up to succeed by embedding you into a network of entrepreneurs who are just as hungry as you are to improve your businesses with smarter marketing tactics and strategies. You’ll learn to ask better questions, create sustainable solutions, build your vision, and all the while, celebrate your successes with fellow Masterminders.

All calls are recorded for a 1 week replay to keep you on track.
Who will I be in a group with?
Each group is carefully curated to ensure that everyone is as hungry as each other to level up their business, and are ready to take a leap forwards. We value community over competition and believe there is the biggest opportunity to grow your business through supporting your fellow group members to do so too.
When is the next intake?

They both are things I want to focus on. How do I know which of the 2 is the right fit for me?
Great question. Hop on a call and we can hash out what works best for you right now, and make sure it’s in line with your goals and future. Both are valuable but timing for one over the other may make more sense for you. Let’s chat!
To your success,
