Having good mentors is the one key to success most small business owners most mention.

Right now, thousands of people are getting together in mentoring groups to learn from each other. If you have never been inside a group, this episode of Business Insanity Talk Radio this week is perfect for you.

In this abbreviated version of the show, we focus on going inside one such group: The Sharing Ideas Mentor Group. They are small business owners who get together once a month to share knowledge. We are joined by:

Jim Stephens is the President and CEO of Mazzi Technologies helps businesses successfully leverage Interactive Media to cut costs, drive profits, and increase productivity. Tony Ozelis is the founder and CEO of LocationIsland.com - a web-based educational magazine dedicated to teaching commercial real estate site development to the independent business person. Diana DeRosa is a veteran equestrian photo journalist, who has traveled the world and has recorded equestrian history for close to 30 years- owns her own PR firm called Press link and spent She worked with the renowned Christopher Reeve as his Road Manager for eight years from 1997 until his passing in October of 2004.

Listen now as we discussed why each member joined and the results they get by participating.

Have you been a member of a mentor group? What kind of results have you had?
