View ArticleAmazing Time at the VIP Mastermind in Cross Border Summit 2018
On Thursday April 18, 2018 from 2pm to 6pm we hosted our first CBS mastermind session for VIP ticket holders.
What is the CBS Mastermind?
CBS is Cross Border Summit
Mastermind is a round table with other business owners in your area of expertise, in our case cross border business.
So – CBS Mastermind together is a perfect combination of taking top minds that are attending the Cross Border Summit and putting together an exclusive half day (or however long you’d like it to be – we may extend it in the future) event where you get to connect with others in the industry, learn from them, share your experience, and ask challenging questions about your business and theirs.
The CBS Mastermind Format
During these sessions we structured it the following way
Took our top speakers – this time it was 4 speakers as below, all in from overseas:
Danny McMillan, host of Seller Sessions (and former musician)
Will Tjernlund, an Amazon FBA expert (and machine!)
Brian Johnson, Founder of PPC Scope (and Amazon PPC rockstar!)
Anthony Lee, COO of Six Leaf (and an all around awesome dude!)
We then put them in different rooms at the venue, round table style. Click on the air conditioning, tea time, some water and snacks, and started.
Our Formula For Mastermind Success
There are a few ways you can do a mastermind – but for this summit, people wanted to meet as many speakers and other Amazon FBA seller experts in this one of a kind experience as they could. So we rotated the tables.
What does that mean?
So the half day session was 4 hours. We put a tea break in the middle, so for 3 and a half hours, you had about 45 minutes in each table (for a total of 4 tables.
People really enjoyed this format as it was a good amount of time with each expert, and also an amazing chance to meet other VIP ticket holders in this pre-event.
Expect More Mastermind Events At Upcoming Cross Border Summits
The team at Global From Asia really enjoys organizing the Cross Border Summit each year – and based off this first mastermind session in our third annual summit – we will be doing many more to come!

What Is The Mastermind Event At The Cross Border Summit All About?
Many have been asking – what is this mastermind you’re doing the day before the official start of the third annual Cross Border Summit. We have hosted masterminds in the past (see our overview of what is a mastermind here https://www.globalfromasia.com/mastermind/ ) and the idea is the same. Here’s our twist and application for the VIP ticket holders of the Cross Border Summit:
We have 4 hosts at each table – Danny McMillan, Brian Johnson, Anthony Lee, and Will Tjernlund. Each mastermind attendee will be assigned one of these tables for their afternoon session.
The sessions start at 2pm, and you will go to your designated table with mastermind host (from the 4 above). For the rest of the afternoon, you will work together in the intimate table of no more than 6 people on your business growth. Each participant will have an equal amount of time at the table to share about their business, their challenges, their opportunities. After the mastermind participant has shared their business situation, the rest of their designated time will be when the magic happens! The host of the mastermind table, along with the other participants, will give feedback, as more clarifying questions, and dive deep into the business “nuts and bolts”.
So let’s recap – participating in this VIP ticket holder event called the Cross Border Summit Mastermind will give you the chance to sit with some of our event’s top speakers, share your business situation, learn from others, and get plenty of time to engage and learn. Many have said in previous masterminds that just listening to other attendee’s business situation and the feedback from around the table is so powerful and insightful.
If you have your VIP ticket, you will have this mastermind benefit – which is taking place one day before the summit – in the afternoon of Thursday April 19, 2018 from 2pm to 6pm. Also after the mastermind we will have our VIP dinner with speakers and other special guests.
Don’t miss this amazing chance to engage with the top speakers – who are visiting from around the world – many’s first time to Shenzhen – and get to learn and engage with them and the other VIP guests participating.

“I highly recommend the Cross Border Summit for any entrepreneur. I am not into trading, but I am a serial entrepreneur and I learned a lot from all the different speakers. It was also great networking. I got many new contacts and got different angles on my business from talking to them and listening to their suggestions.
I went home from that Summit with my head spinning and a big grin of all the possibilities, opportunities and new ideas I got from just these 2 days. If you miss this event, you miss a great chance to take your business to a new level! A must for every entrepreneur in China!”
