Each Meeting is a Unique Event
Every mastermind sets aside a block of time to focus on you and your business.
Members always "own their hour." It's yours to use as you like.
If you've never been to a real mastermind, you'll be shocked to learn how many of your most profitable breakthroughs will come from ideas you'll pick up during other members' sessions.
(We call this "The Mastermind Miracle.")
Every hour of every meeting is different...
... because each member arrives ready to share their latest successes and their most recent challenges.
You will never stop learning from, and sharing your latest discoveries with, your fellow members.
You'll no longer be forced to read dozens of websites, magazines, and books to stay on top of the latest marketing trends and tools...
... because you'll be getting real-world input from actual business owners who bring (cumulatively) 100+ years of experience with marketing strategies and tools to every meeting...
... to share with you.
This is why most people who attend once stay with the group for at least a year. Their profits continue to increase ...
... and they credit ideas and tactics picked up in The Platinum Mastermind Group for a lot of their success.
(Be sure to check out some of the Success Stories and Case Studies further down this page.)
My CO-HOSTS AND CONTRIBUTORS
Because I want to bring as much sales and marketing firepower to every single meeting, I've invited some of my long-time colleagues to join as co-hosts and contributors.
They are among the most sought-after and highly respected copywriters and marketing consultants on the planet.
They attend most sessions to give you critical feedback on your copy, help you with your marketing strategy, and collaborate with you on ideas for new products.
John Carlton
John and I co-founded this mastermind group in 2010.
He's spent decades on the list of hotshot "A-List" direct response copywriters, building a global reputation based on massive sales results.
During years of partnering with Gary Halbert and going deep into the entrepreneurial world alongside other legends like Jay Abraham and Dan Kennedy, he became a renowned one-stop "problem solver"...
... quickly fixing the sticking points and profit-murdering missteps that plague small biz owners...
... while also transforming their advertising into something extraordinary.
The decades he's spent deconstructing problems for clients and finding solutions that work like crazy... over and over again in almost every business niche you’ve ever heard of... has given him a unique experience-based view of how to help you get where you want to go.
David Deutsch started his career writing ads for the prestigious Ogilvy & Mather on Madison Avenue. He’s been a top “A-List” copywriter for decades, amassing multiple controls for some of the largest publishers and supplement marketers in the world, including Boardroom Inc., for whom he had a record-breaking 6 winning promotions in the mail at one time. His “A-List Copywriting Secrets” course explains the process and insights behind his most profitable ads.
David Garfinkel is a co-founder of Fast Effective Copy, creator of the must-have “High-Speed Copywriting” and “Copywriting Templates” courses, and longtime mentor to leading advertising copywriters. He brings massive and varied marketing experience to the table.
Lori Haller is a highly in-demand graphic designer. She’s been the go-to creative force behind dozens of sales-generating and control-beating websites, direct mail pieces, space ads, and other online promotions. Her list of happy clients includes massive publishers and marketers like Boardroom, Weiss, Soundview Publishing, StreetAuthority, Healthy Directions, Uniscience Group, Phillips Publishing, Nutri-Health, KCI Communications, and Agora.
I'm calling this one "Operation Moneysuck."
We'll challenge every attendee to dig deep and work with the group to uncover honest answers to a few powerful questions.
At this (and every) meeting, you will "own" your time. You're always free to focus the group's attention and get input on any facet of your business. The "themes" are always just suggestions to help you get your maximum value.
Because everyone will get so much personal attention from me, my co-hosts, and special guests, there will be a limit of 12 attendees. More than that, we would not have enough time to go deep into your business and offer specific suggestions you'll be able to put to work to increase sales and profits within 1-3 months.
This is always my goal for every attendee at every mastermind meeting:
You will leave with 1-3 custom "action items." They will be realistic. You will implement at least 2 of them within 1-3 months.
Keeping it this simple ensures your investment in this mastermind is quickly earned back, and every meeting is profitable for you.
Now that you know the kind of expertise this group delivers...
... here's a bit of information about my background:
Stan Dahl
I bring 35 years of marketing and business process analysis and improvement to the table.
For over a decade, I specialized in bringing data-driven analytics and solutions to big and small businesses all over the world (I was implementing “Big Data” solutions years before most business owners and CEOs had even heard of the concepts.)
These days I focus on helping clients create and implement realistic and efficient marketing strategies and funnels.
I am the owner and CEO of Marketing Rebel LLC, which develops and distributes courses and consulting services with John Carlton, David Deutsch, and David Garfinkel.
Since 2020, we run BOTH face-to-face, gather around a big table sessions...
... and virtual meetings using Zoom.
We've learned that most members love getting out of town for a few days for these meetings. It's the best way to clear your mind of small details and focus on big ideas.
And some (about 25%) of our members prefer our virtual meeting option. For their reasons, travel isn't for them. At least not every time.
During the worst of the pandemic, just one member left the group. I think that proves how effective our virtual sessions are.
They are run in a very similar way. You (and all members) get your hour of dedicated time, either way.
You will have the option of choosing between a face-to-face or virtual meeting. (One of the details we'll talk about.)
EXTRA BONUS,
IF YOU ACT NOW!
Once you've decided to join us...
... you'll get a FREE consulting call with me.
These consulting calls go for $1,500 each.
I take on only 1-2 new consulting clients a month... but since you and I will be working together, face-to-face, in The Platinum Mastermind Group, your consulting call cuts to the front of the line.
We'll get to work (before the next meeting... as soon as next week) on solving the most pressing problems you're facing right now.
This call will give you an introduction to my problem-solving methods...
... and leave you with your first Action Plan...
... so you can start benefiting from your membership before your first meeting.
Your free bonus consulting call will be just a sampling of the detailed effort we give to every member.
Focusing on specific issues, questions, and problems.
And we solve stuff. That’s what The Marketing Rebel Team does.
That’s why this small, elite mastermind has lasted over 12 years.

YOUR HOSTS
Now that you know the kind of expertise John and I delver to every meeting...
... here's a bit of information us and our backgrounds:
John Carlton
John's career has gone down two major paths:
Early on, he was one of a handful of hotshot "A-List" copywriters in direct response, with a global reputation based on massive results.
However, during years of partnering with Gary Halbert and going deep into the entrepreneurial world alongside other legends like Jay Abraham and Dan Kennedy, he became more of a one-stop "problem solver"...
... quickly fixing the sticking points and profit-murdering missteps that plague small biz owners...
... while also transforming their advertising into something awesome.
The decades he's spent deconstructing problems for clients and finding solutions that work like crazy... over and over again in almost every business niche you’ve ever heard of... has given him a unique experience-based view of how to help you get where you want to go.
Stan Dahl
I bring 25 years of marketing and business process analysis and improvement to the table.
Before John and I joined forces, I specialized in bringing data-driven analytics and solutions to businesses big and small, located all over the world. (I was implementing “Big Data” solutions years before most business owners and CEOs had even heard of the concepts.)
These days I focus on helping clients create and implement realistic and efficient marketing strategies and funnels.
EXTRA BONUS,
IF YOU ACT NOW!
Once you've signed up to join us for a year of membership,or just the next meeting...
... you'll get a FREE consulting call with John Carlton and myself.
These consulting calls go for $1,500 - $2,500, each.
We take on only 1-2 new consulting clients a month... but since we'll be working with you face-to-face, along with our other priority customers in our mastermind group, your consulting call cuts to the front of the line.
We'll get right to work (before the next meeting, as soon as next week) on solving the most pressing problems you're facing right now.
This call will give you an introduction to our problem-solving methods...
... and leave you with your first Action Plan...
... so can start benefiting from your membership before your first meeting.
Your free bonus consulting call will be just a sampling of the detailed effort we put into every member at every meeting.
We focus on specific issues, questions, and problems.
And we solve stuff. That’s what we do.
That’s why this small, elite mastermind has lasted over 10 years now.
THE FINE PRINT
There isn't any fine print. No catch or long-term commitment.
You'll get to attend a unique 2-day event, where you and a few small business owners will get specific, custom advice from my co-hosts, special guests, and me.
PLUS, you learn from and share best practices with the other attendees.
If you like this meeting as much as I expect you will...
… and you see how valuable and profitable this mastermind is for you...
… we can talk about working together in the future. Either by private coaching or by you attending other mastermind gatherings like this one.
Today, you're not committing to anything beyond a short phone call.
Because of the intimate nature of The Platinum Mastermind Group, I get on the phone with everyone for a quick chat. That's how I ensure I'm confident you'll get exceptional value, and I'm comfortable inviting you into this private inner circle. Part of my commitment to you is everyone in the room is worth learning from.
We do accept new business owners, but I want to be sure there is something in their background and experience that will enable them to not just learn, but to share some of what they know. This commitment to helping each other is critical to making this mastermind the smashing success it has proven to be for so many small business owners.
