Mastermind
The Mindful Mastermind
A 12-week small group container to build real momentum in your business—Without Burning Out
You’ve been a solopreneur for months or maybe even years. You’ve taken courses, gained skills, worked with clients, and made some money—but what you've got is not nearly enough to call it a real business. It feels unreliable, so you're not going all in. You're still (unwillingly) holding on to your day job or other sources of income.
You see your business as a calling, and your dream is to finally make it work. Not one day, not tomorrow—you don’t want it to take years, but you’re also not clinging to the fantasy that it will happen overnight. You know that with the right conditions, you can gain significant momentum this quarter, this year.
You’re not looking for yet another course or a mentor—you've had enough of them, and they’ve helped, but you don't need more information—or someone else's formula for success. By now, you’ve seen that there are many paths to success, and you want to forge your own.
But perhaps you keep signing up for courses because you crave being around people like you—people who dream of something more and are actively working towards it. You know that building a business can’t be done in isolation. In fact, you’re tired of trying to figure it all out on your own—when willpower comes and goes, when there’s no one to bounce ideas off, when there’s no camaraderie or external accountability. Even if you're a rather independent person—or maybe even a bit of a hermit—you still need people. The right kind of people.
What you actually want is a structured space to turn knowledge into action, build consistency, and surround yourself with the right people.
I've designed this mastermind with exactly that in mind, to help you commit to your business fully and gain traction that sets you on the path to consistent 5K months—without compromising your well-being.
What Makes This Mastermind Different
Masterminds are usually designed for already established entrepreneurs—those who have a lot figured out and just want to reach the next level. Most of them cost thousands. And the majority tend to pull people together around one expert whose teachings are embedded in the fabric of the mastermind and so there is a strong influence on how to run your business. This format is helpful for people who deeply resonate with that one mentor, but not for those who want to have exposure to different ways of doing things, as they want to form their own.
And what about the emerging solopreneurs or the ones who, despite their many efforts, haven’t reached 5K a month yet (at least not consistently)?
They often turn to business programs hoping to find this kind of support, but those programs aren’t built for this and so it rarely works out or if it does, it only lasts for the duration of the program, then they fizzle out. Then they try to self-organize into unpaid peer groups, but those quickly fall apart—because there’s no clear leadership, direction, structure or even skin in the game. And when there is true leadership, the leader eventually burns out, exhausted from doing all the work for free while others drop out due to lack of commitment.
This is why I created this mastermind.
It's a mastermind, and in a way it's also an implementation program. It has a leader, direction, structure, skin in the game, AND there is freedom to forge your own path in your own pace. What glues us together is that we share important values about how we want to run things (e.g. authentically, ethically, with commitment to progress but without burnout), as well as where we are on our journey and where we want to be.
What Makes It Possible To Succeed Without The-One-Expert-To-Mentor-Us-All
Because we have someone capable and experienced to bring all of this together (more on that below). But also, what we tend to underestimate is the power of simply having a good bunch of people walking the same path together.
(Have you ever been on the Camino de Santiago? Then you know exactly what I mean.)
We didn't wake up on this path with no previous history. Each of us comes with unique skills and experiences. Before starting our businesses, we’ve had rich careers and lives, and we’re great at different things:
- One of us might excel at tech or accounting.
- Another might have marketing or storytelling skills.
- Each one of us has learned invaluable lessons from investing in various programs.
Together, we hold an abundance of resources right now.
This mastermind taps into our collective wisdom. Together, we’ll:
- Share expertise and tips across areas where we’ve mastered skills.
- Leverage our diverse perspectives to find innovative solutions.
- Collaborate, not compete—even if we’re in similar niches, we’ll support each other as “niche mates.” Who knows? We might even share clients or launch joint ventures!
This is a place for collaboration, not competition. A space where we give openly, without holding back on helpful information, and celebrate each other’s wins.
Intentions Of The Mastermind
From consuming information → To integrating and applying it
You don’t need another course, you need a space to implement what you already know.
From scattered effort → To a focused rhythm
No more dancing around the idea of building a business where you move one step forward and two steps back, this mastermind gives you a clear monthly cycle to work with so you can actually make it happen.
From overthinking → To gently trying things out
Doubt and second-guessing slow you down. With accountability and feedback, you’ll take action that moves you forward with more clarity and confidence.
From doing it on your own → To building in community
Solopreneurship can be isolating. Here, you’re surrounded by people on the same journey.
From inconsistent results → To steady progress towards consistent 5K months
Instead of random wins in between periods of stagnation, you’ll build the habits and systems for sustainable progress.
What This Is
- A guided peer group for women service-based solopreneurs holding each other through the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship.
- A small, intimate group of up to 6 participants, ensuring everyone’s voice is heard, we truly know each other and what we are trying to build.
- A space to share wisdom and resources, lean on each other, and navigate challenges together.
- A space for real conversations about what’s working, what isn’t, and where we go from here.
- A place to experiment with ideas, workshops, and strategies while receiving honest feedback.
- A community where we find accountability, camaraderie, and perhaps even build authentic collaborations.
- A community that values individuality and respects that we all find our own way.
- A space to build momentum through real-life action that honors our natural rhythm and circumstances, yet moves us forward consistently.
What This Is Not
- A teaching or prescriptive program, run by an “expert” telling you what to do (this is about collective wisdom instead, furthermore we already know enough to make good decisions, so we are here not for more knowledge but for support as we try things out and make things happen).
- A space without leadership or direction (yes, we’re among equals here who are co-creating this whole thing, but I am bringing all of this together and I am leading it, so you can count on me for holding the vision and the container).
- A space for “quick fixes” and laser-focused on succeeding, whatever it takes (yes, we are committed and determined to do our best but we want to build a sustainable, ethical and authentic business, and not burn out in the process).
- A low-commitment group where you only show up occasionally, watch recordings vs being there live and don’t care about building relationships (of course we’ll sometimes miss meetings, but we will be as present as possible and that includes listening well and caring for our fellow humans we journey together with).
- A group of friends chatting about life, the universe and everything (it’d be beautiful if friendships are naturally born out of this and for sure we can chat about anything in other forms of get-together, but our regular meetings are intentional and focused on what we’ve come together for in the first place).
Who This Is For
- Service-based solopreneurs (such as coaches, teachers, consultants, counsellors, therapists, mentors, facilitators or guides) who are qualified and have some experience in what they do, whether they are at it full-time or part-time.
- Perhaps you only recently started out or you’ve been trying to build a sustainable business for a while now, but your business hasn’t taken off or your results are not consistent and so you don’t feel like you’ve actually figured it out. Maybe because you couldn’t focus on it to really give it a chance. Maybe because you invested in different programs for help but never got the personal touch and camaraderie of a small group. Maybe because you spent way too long waiting for the perfect sign or solution, until you realized it doesn’t exist and now you are ready to move forward regardless.
- Those ready to commit to growing their business ethically, sustainably and authentically.
- Open-minded people appreciating being inspired by others but not blindly following any one person’s advice, because they are forging their own path.
- People seeking accountability and support from peers on a similar journey, a community that has each other’s backs.
- People willing to give as much as they take—masterminds thrive on shared wisdom and resources.
- Those who value connection, collaboration, honesty and sharing resources.
Who This Is Not For
- Anyone looking for a traditional “business coaching” program or a step-by-step plan.
- Someone who needs a lot of hand-holding or seeks to outsource their decision-making.
- People unwilling to contribute their energy, skills, and presence.
- Those looking for a quick-fix, high-pressure group, and are too focused on the destination without too much care for the journey.
- Solopreneurs further ahead in their journey who are already having consistent and satisfying results in their business (on a path to 6 figures), and are rather looking to scale.
- People who are not qualified yet in what they want to do, and/or have very little experience in it (if you didn’t go through a reputable training and/or if you didn’t have any practice clients you were able to help, whether that’s been peer exchange or pro-bono, please focus on these things first - the craft comes first, the business building second).
- People who have absolutely no idea of business (if this is the case, it will be more helpful to you if you first went through a good foundational business program–ask me for recommendations if you like, I’ve invested in enough of them out there, some have been good and some have been a waste of time and money, and so I might be able to guide you to something truly helpful).
What Is Included
✅ 12 weeks together, with gatherings following a rhythm of 3 weeks on, 1 week off.
✅ We begin in mid-April and end in early July, with a follow-up gathering in early August for a mid-summer check-in. The mid-summer gathering will be a space for reflections on progress, our time together and setting intentions for what comes next—including the possibility of continuing together for another quarter, starting in September.
✅ Each month is structured around a specific business-building theme (Business foundations and systems; Market discovery and niche experiments; Getting clients consistently).
✅ Gatherings are 90 minutes long, held at 16:00 CEST (10:00 EDT) on Sundays. If this time doesn’t work for some members, we’ll put alternative options up for a group vote.
✅ A private communication channel (Facebook or WhatsApp) for mindful, asynchronous connection and support between meetings. The group will decide which platform works best.
We will co-create as we go, shaping this mastermind into the kind of space we love to be in.
What Is The Investment
There are two ways to join:
🔹 Pay in full: 500 EUR (save 100 EUR)
This one-time payment secures your spot and offers the best value.
🔹 3-Month Payment Plan: 200 EUR per month (total 600 EUR)
Choose this option if you prefer to spread the investment over time. Your first payment secures your spot, and the next two will be billed monthly.
Note: The payment plan includes an additional cost to reflect the flexibility, admin time, and financial risk involved in monthly payments, especially in such a small, intimate container.
The bigger investment? Your precious time and energy.
Minimum time commitment:
Expect to dedicate up to 2 hours per week to the mastermind (we do take a break every 4th week). This includes:
✔ Our meetings (where we’ll be actively working on our businesses)
✔ Engaging in our asynchronous group (asking for and offering support, exchanging feedback and ideas, collaborating if this unfolds naturally, etc.)
For this mastermind to make sense for you, if you are a solopreneur only part-time right now, you should be able to spend at least about 10 hours per week on your business (including client work, mastermind time, business development, etc.). If you cannot dedicate this much time, whether you join the mastermind or not, gaining real momentum will be very hard.
You will gain far more than you put in—but only if you show up fully. This means:
✔ Being present for yourself and others
✔ Engaging with the group and offering support
✔ Committing to both your business and this mastermind as the container that will help it grow
Why Join Us?
- Freedom to do things your way with input and inspiration from peers on the same journey.
- Structure to turn ideas into actions and get the right things done.
- Leverage collective wisdom by pooling diverse perspectives to find better and faster solutions, and gain clarity.
- Build authentic partnerships and collaborations: From shared clients to joint ventures, the possibilities are endless. Grow faster through shared resources and ideas.
- Gain clarity and momentum: With accountability and regular check-ins, you’ll move forward with more confidence. There’s nothing more inspiring to action than being among good people who walk a similar path.
- Find your tribe: Isolation is the biggest killer of dreams. This supportive group will carry you through the fluctuations of life and entrepreneurship.
Most solopreneurs never make it past the "messy middle". In this format, together, we will.
Who I Am and What I Bring To This Space
Hey, I'm Denitsa! Mentor and Coach for Embodied Career Change, helping people navigate the messy middle of (midlife) career re-inventions with clarity, confidence, and inner alignment.
I know a lot about business, but I'm not a business coach. If you're looking for a business coach, here's who I recommend after years of studying with different people and a total of five figures invested: Caroline Leon, George Kao, Tad Hargrave, each of them brilliant at what they do, as well as authentic and ethical mentors of mine.
That said, here is what I bring:
- I've been in recruitment and hiring for over 15 years, so I deeply understand positioning, credibility, and standing out in a crowded market. I will also be tapping into my recruitment background to ensure we bring together the right people for this mastermind.
- I'm a qualified coach with ICF-accredited training, additionally trained in embodiment work, so I know how to help people become who they need to be for their next step, not just chase strategies.
- I've led different groups and communities before, so I know how to foster deep, supportive relationships that create real momentum. I’m not just a facilitator. I’m here to hold the vision, guide the structure, and ensure every member gets the support they need.
- I'm walking the same path as you and I get the struggles of female emerging solopreneurs (especially those of us who are moms or caregivers, we wear many hats and have no time to waste). I'm not on the other end of this, but I've found ways to move forward consistently without burning out.
- This space is not something I am replicating after being on the inside of it, I am creating this unique container.
- I blend depth with practicality and I am here to both lead and co-create with the group.
If you’re looking for a mastermind, not centered around one particular business coach and their teachings, yet where you can find your rhythm, truly gain momentum, and grow your business in a way that feels good—this might be it.
