✦ You Have Come This Far
But You Are Still Doing It Alone.

You have the system, the audience, and the sales. But scaling beyond where you are feels like a problem no course or program has been able to fully solve.

🧠

"I have great ideas and I know what I need to do, but I cannot seem to get out of my own way and execute at the level I know I am capable of."

🔁

"Every time I hit a new ceiling, I spend months figuring it out alone. I need someone in my corner who has already broken through it."

📉

"My revenue is inconsistent. Some months are great and others feel like starting over. I cannot find the lever that makes it predictable."

⚙️

"I have systems but they are not working together. I feel like I am managing ten different moving parts and none of them are fully optimized."

😤

"I am tired of paying for strategy I cannot implement. I need someone who will actually roll up their sleeves and build it with me."

🏔️

"I know my next level exists, I just cannot see the path clearly enough to get there without someone who has already been there guiding me."

You do not need another course. You need a real growth partnership, strategy, implementation, and access to people who have already built what you are trying to build.

✦ This Is Different
Real Strategy. Real Access.Built With You.

The Mastermind is not a course. It is not a community. It is a growth partnership, where Damon and the TMU team sit in your business with you, help you identify exactly what is holding you back, and then build the solutions alongside you.

You get direct access, in-person implementation, private strategy calls, and a team of experts executing with you, not just handing you a framework and wishing you luck. This is what scaling actually looks like.

🎯

Real Strategy

Personalized direction built around your specific business, not generic advice that works for everyone and no one at the same time

🛠️

Real Implementation

4 in-person workshops + 15 hrs/month agency support means things actually get built, not just planned

🤝

Real Access

Private messaging, 1:1 calls with Damon, and a peer group of makers scaling at the same level as you

"I built DecoExchange to $60M+ not by working harder, but by finding the right partnerships, the right systems, and the right people around me. That is what the Mastermind gives you."

— Damon Oates · Founder, The Makers University

What Happens When You Stop Building Alone

These are makers who stopped figuring it out by themselves and started building with a real team behind them.

★★★★★

"In my first 90 days I had more clarity about my business than I had in the previous three years. Having Damon look at my actual numbers and tell me exactly what to fix changed everything."

"The in-person workshop paid for my entire year in one weekend. We built my Q4 campaign from scratch together and I had my best holiday season ever — $31,000 in November alone."

"I applied not knowing if I was ready. I was accepted within a week and started 3 weeks later. Six months in, my revenue has doubled and I finally feel like a real CEO — not just someone who sells wreaths."

"
I spent two years trying to figure out scaling on my own. The Mastermind gave me two things I could not buy anywhere else — direct access to someone who had already done it, and a room full of people who were doing it alongside me. That combination is irreplaceable.
— Mastermind Member
✦ Is This Right For You?
The Mastermind Is Not For Everyone.

We review every application carefully because the right fit matters, for you and for the group. Here is how to know if this is your next step.

This is for you if...
  • You have consistent revenue and are ready to scale, you know your foundation works, you just need the partnership to take it further
  • You are tired of building alone and want direct access to someone who has already done what you are trying to do
  • You are ready to show up in person, invest your time, and do the actual work alongside a team that builds with you
  • You want your business to grow without requiring more of your personal time and energy at every level
  • You are committed to a full year of focused, strategic growth, not a quick fix or a temporary boost
  • You see $650/month as an investment you can make back, not a cost you are hoping to recover
This is not for you if...
  • You do not yet have consistent sales, build that foundation in CMC first so the Mastermind amplifies something real
  • You are looking for someone to do everything for you, the Mastermind builds alongside you, it does not replace your effort
  • You are not willing to attend in-person workshops, the live events are where the most significant breakthroughs happen
  • You want to stay anonymous, the Mastermind is a high-touch, high-relationship program and participation is expected

Not sure if you are ready? Apply anyway. The application is free, takes less than 5 minutes, and we will give you an honest answer. If now is not the right time, we will tell you, and we will tell you exactly what to build first so you are ready when you apply again.

✦ Who You Are Building With
MeetDamon Oates
Founder · The Makers University & DecoExchange

Damon built DecoExchange from a single wreath on his kitchen island into a $60M+ business, not through luck, but through obsessive focus on the exact systems, partnerships, and decisions that the Mastermind now teaches.

Every framework inside the Mastermind comes from something Damon personally built, broke, fixed, and scaled. The in-person workshops, the private calls, the direct access, this is the partnership Damon wishes he had when he was scaling, and the one he is now building for you.

When you join the Mastermind you are not buying a course from someone who figured it out once. You are entering a partnership with someone who is still actively building, and bringing everything they know directly into your business.

"The Mastermind is the version of TMU where I actually sit in your business with you. Not from a stage, in the work, in the strategy, and in the room."

Our Commitment to You

Every application is reviewed personally. If you are accepted and the Mastermind is not delivering what we promised within your first 30 days, we will work with you directly until it is. We do not accept members to collect payments, we accept them to help them scale.

✦ Your Questions Answered
Everything You Want To Know

Honest answers to what we hear most before someone applies.

No. The Mastermind runs on rolling admissions, there is no annual cohort you have to wait for. Apply today, receive a decision within 7 days, and accepted members can start within 30 days. You do not lose momentum waiting for a calendar date.
You complete a short application, about 5 minutes, that helps us understand your business, your goals, and where you are right now. Damon and the team personally review every application. You will receive a personal response within 7 days: accepted, waitlisted, or a redirect to the right next step if the timing is not right. No automated rejections.
All previous TMU programs are fully included in your Mastermind membership, you do not need to be enrolled separately. If you are currently in another TMU program, our team will handle the transition. What matters is that your business is ready for this level of partnership, not which programs you have been in.
There are 4 in-person implementation workshops per year — Q1, Q2, and Q3/Q4. Each workshop is focused on a specific phase of growth: Revenue Engine Build-Out, Traffic and Evergreen Growth, and the Holiday Sales Accelerator. These are working sessions, not lectures, you leave with things actually built and implemented. Details on locations and dates are shared inside the member portal.
It means exactly what it says. Direct access to Damon via private message, not a ticketing system, not a community post that gets answered in 3 days. When you have a real question about a real decision in your business, you can reach out directly. This is one of the most valuable and most limited parts of the Mastermind.
In 2027, Mastermind members will receive guided support to write and publish their own book, your story, your expertise, and your brand positioned as a published author. Being a published author in your niche changes how your market sees you, your pricing power, and your authority. Details on the exact structure and timeline will be shared with members as we get closer to launch.
We will tell you exactly what to build first, and we will mean it. We are not in the business of rejecting people without direction. If your application tells us you need 3 more months in CMC before the Mastermind will truly serve you, we will say that clearly and give you the roadmap. Apply anyway, the worst outcome is a free strategic recommendation.
Monthly members can cancel before their next billing date. Annual members receive full-year access plus all included benefits from day one. We want you to stay because the Mastermind is delivering more value than it costs — not because leaving is complicated.

Still have a question? Reach out before you apply, we want this to be exactly right for where you are.
