Building Your Business:
Your Way

Create a Successful Business and Still Have
Time For Your Life

The Accelerate! Mastermind

  • Are you a new or emerging entrepreneur who is tired of going it alone in this business of building your business?
  • Do you wish you had more hours in the day so you can work in your business and on your business at the same time?
  • Are you sometimes frustrated and don’t know where to turn when you have to make decisions about what to do next?
  • Have you launched your business and you could really benefit from an ongoing support network and group to strategize and build your businesses together?

If this describes you, then you’re in the right place.

I’m Susan Elford, Leadership Coach, PR Strategist, Business Mentor and Community Builder.

I’ve been running my own largely solopreneur business for over 16 years and I know what it’s like to go it alone. I also know the benefit of having a community of similarly ambitious peers and mentors to surround myself with, challenge me and have my back when the going gets tough. 

When I launched Elford Communications over 16 years ago, one of the first things I did was seek out a community of peers who were also out there in the trenches, working for themselves and growing their businesses. Of course, that community didn’t already exist, I had to create it, and I have been building community amongst ambitious entrepreneurs for mutual benefit ever since.

The benefits of growing in community are unparalleled.  In fact, did you know that while research shows that only 8% of people reach their goals, research also supports the fact that people in community are actually 95% more likely to reach those goals?

With these facts, the impetus to build community seems pretty clear.

Of course I didn’t know about all that research years ago when I created my first entrepreneur business community, I just knew I didn’t like going it alone.

Through a community you can trust, learn from and grow exponentially together. To this day I continue to grow my business in community with others. So that we can learn and grow together as well as be there for each other to trouble-shoot issues and leap forward.

When you build your business in community, you can save much time, money and the emotional energy of trying to figure things out on your own.

That’s why I created The Accelerate! Mastermind – for new and emerging entrepreneurs like you, who are learning what it’s like to build and run your own service-based business. Many solopreneurs work from their own homes and the days can be lonely. It can also be time-consuming to leave the house for a meeting here and there. 

The Accelerate! Mastermind is for you if:

  • You are a new or emerging entrepreneur who is tired of going it alone in this business of building your business
  • You wish you had more hours in the day so you could work in your business and on your business at the same time
  • You sometimes feel frustrated and don’t know where to turn when you have to make decisions about what to do next
  • You have launched your business and you could really benefit from an ongoing support network and group to strategize and build your businesses together

“The best part of being in the Accelerate! Mastermind? It’s hard to pick only one. I love the group energy, the accountability, the opportunity to share and ask questions with a thoughtful and helpful group of people, and of course Susan’s leadership… through coaching and informing from a place of years of communication and marketing and PR background… while also bringing out the best of the group in service of each member.

I recommend the Accelerate! Mastermind because being a solopreneur can be lonely AND there are risks associated with being too close to the work. While we all need to do our solitary work, and many of us benefit from 1-1 coaching, a group experience offers a different and useful medium to understand and grow a business. The Accelerate! Mastermind offers the group experience with leadership from someone who is an effective coach and marketing/PR professional wrapped up in one person.

This Mastermind would be especially suited to a female solopreneur in the first 5 years of business who is developing or growing a business looking for a place to learn, grow and get support.”
