You made a great decision investing in my Ebook Mastermind
The 12th and Final MONDAY session is 7pm Eastern, June 20th, 2022
Zoom Link is always https://zoom.us/j/9067301756
See Assignments and Replays at the bottom of the page
Prior to the first meeting please send me:
For each session, PLEASE BE ON TIME and reduce your distraction to simple chaos instead of maximum chaos. hahaha
Make sure you have the ability to take notes, have gone to the bathroom, and have some beverage and snacks available, if you need them.
Also, make sure you have a good internet connection and you know how to get your microphone and webcam working on a Zoom call.
If you don't know how to do this, get in touch with me right away and myself or Larry will walk you through it.
I'll talk to you then.
Thanks
Tom Antion
