How is GASPPO different from other associations?

You can expect a different kind of association experience when you become a GASPPO member. We are different in who we serve, how we serve, what we provide, how we're structured and what we stand for. We are not about norms, conventionalities and traditional molds - there's simply a GASPPO Way of doing things. Click here to see our difference in more detail! back to top

Is GASPPO a trade association or a professional association?

GASPPO is a blend of both, but more importantly, GASPPO is a community and a family where like-minded small professional practice owners unite, connect, collaborate, get inspired, are held accountable and journey together to the next level with passion, purpose, support and strategy. back to top

Trade associations focus on business industries while professional associations focus on individuals. At GASPPO, we focus on both from the perspective of helping our members continuously maximize their potential, operate at peak performance level and take their practice to the next level... all achieved in a supportive environment and without sacrificing their values. back to top

What business types and sectors does GASPPO serve?

Owners of small practices within traditional professional sectors such as Law, Accounting, Consulting, Dental, Chiropractic, other Health (oral, physical and mental), Financial Planning and similar sectors. back to top

How have the featured mentors and experts been chosen?

The experts we feature on our products, panel discussions, webinar presentations, programs and events are a team of business development, marketing, corporate communications and personal growth authors, coaches, consultants, speakers, trainers, millionaire mentors, successful business owners and founders of thriving companies. They have been chosen because of their remarkable professional recognition as evident from a combination of credentials such as awards, business experience, talented expertise and proven track record.

Our Resident Executive Coaches (RECs) are our in-house team of experts that members have one-on-one guidance sessions with. They serve as mentors, experts, consultants and trainers that help our members to excel at achieving the objectives they've set out for their business and personal growth. As part of our rigorous recruiting criteria, we insist that RECs previously or currently own a small practice within their field, and also have a wealth of experience in working with small practice owners that offer professional services. back to top

I am already a member of the trade association specific to my profession, so why should I also join GASPPO?

We don't pretend to be all things to all people, so we encourage you to join more than one association... because you'll gain something different from each. From us, you'll make high-quality connections inside and outside your industry, and you'll benefit from business growth and personal development advice, support and resources. Other associations may serve as lobbyists for your profession or may only provide sector-related news - your experience with other associations will depend on that association's focus in relation to your needs. back to top

I already have a coach, so why do I need GASPPO?

It's been said that grand success is only achieved as a result of great teamwork, and that TEAM is an acronym that means Together Everyone Achieves More. No one who has made leaps and bounds in their business and their life has done it alone.

You can create a lot with your coach, but you can create even more when you tap into the synergy and collaboration that you can only get in a group or community environment. This is because you'll tap into the ideas, expertise and background of an energized group of talented people as opposed to working at it alone or solely with your coach. Imagine the advantage of having different people that have strengths of their own, coming together with your own strengths and skills to create a force to be reckoned with. Of course you can play a big game alone. In fact, you can even play a great game alone... but an even greater game can be played by joining resources, skills, and efforts with others. Collectively, it becomes a win-win for all parties involved. You can never have too many right connections.

Joining an inner circle of like-minded peers and results-oriented mentors and experts is a very effective way to attain your business objectives and grow personally. This is because an active community of this kind provides a forum to:

• Stay informed
• Share best practices
• Exchange ideas and gain insights
• Get ‘how to' advice and the resources needed for implementation
• Find out which strategies and tactics deliver outstanding results
• Discover high-impact and cost-effective systems for a thriving practice
• Brainstorm, strategize and take results-driven action
• Have your questions answered
• Foster business growth
• Generate more revenue
• Gain access to role models, mentors, coaches and experts
• Know the best vendors
• Partner with other (non-competitive) practice owners to extend your reach
• Expand your network
• Remain inspired and motivated

...on an ongoing and consistent basis, and at an accelerated pace!

It is a well-known fact that every highly-successful business owner creates and grows their wealth partly by having access to advisors. These advisors may be in the form of coaches, mentors, consultants, board of directors or a mastermind group. Whether it takes the form of a formal group or a network of associations, it is vital that every practice owner has access to more than one advisor that will support, guide and inspire them at every stage of their entrepreneurial journey. Joining GASPPO will enable you to have all of these advisors and advice under one roof.

Most importantly, becoming a GASPPO member is an opportunity to be part of a family and community that can take you to the next level... personally, professionally and financially. Think about what would happen if you journeyed together with like-minded individuals with purpose, passion, support and strategy! back to top

What guarantee do you offer?

Think of your membership at the gym as a metaphor to answer this question. Your gym instructor is there to guide and support you, and you know that as long as you follow their advice, eat the right diet, regularly use the equipment made available to you and you're determined, then achieving great health and fitness is guaranteed.

So, your guarantee for getting the most out of this association is... showing up for all member privileges, being a participant instead of just a spectator, paying attention to and implementing the advice from featured mentors, coaches and experts, using all the resources at your disposal, asking questions, taking consistent action, and staying committed to the whole process. We can only show you what to do and how to do it, but in order to make things work for you and your practice, it's up to you to properly and consistently implement what you've learnt.

That said, we still want you to be comfortable with your investment and our relationship. We've taken the risk away from you. Your membership comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. Join GASPPO for 60 days, and if for any reason you're not satisfied with our services, you have the right to terminate your membership. We will unconditionally refund 100% of your membership fee with no questions asked. If we don't match your high expectations, we suffer - not you!

All you need to do to get a refund is to contact our Member Relations Team through the online form on the ‘Contact Us' page of our web site. Please note that the administrative set-up and processing fee is non-refundable, but your membership fee is 100% refundable as long as you request the refund in writing, within 60 days of joining.

This guarantee is designed to ensure that you're totally happy with the service you receive and the investment you make. We are confident that once you experience the advantages of your membership, you'll want to be a lifetime member. back to top

When can I expect to see lucrative results?

Bear in mind that many variables will affect each practice owner's results. Your own success is down to you.

That said, you can expect to see results in as little as 90 days or less and as long as a year, depending on how you work the knowledge, strategies, tactics, techniques, support and resources you receive, and the relationships you build. All our members who have diligently applied what is required in relation to reaching their goals have successfully taken their practice to the next level, with much less effort, and in much less time than they would have done on their own. The sooner you start participating and implementing, the sooner you'll see lucrative returns, as long as you follow the right steps and take consistent action. back to top

What are the membership criteria?

You must own a small professional practice and have a minimum of three years experience in running your business. Also, your practice must have generated at least $75,000 in revenues, in at least one fiscal year over the last two years. Those that benefit the most from joining GASPPO are practice owners who:

• Are committed to business and personal growth
• Desire to continuously excel and be balanced in all areas of life
• Are willing to connect, participate and share
• Keep an open mind with regards to new concepts
• Love to make a positive impact on peoples' lives
• Demonstrate the utmost personal and professional integrity
• Understand that the membership experience is a process, and not a quick fix
• Believe in the abundance principle i.e. that there's enough business for everyone, and therefore collaboration beats competition

You're more likely to fit in well with other members of GASPPO if you fit the criteria outlined above. back to top

Why is membership selective and why does the association have strict eligibility requirements?

Membership at GASPPO is selective, based on business experience and business revenue. We also only welcome certain personalities - those with a ‘can do' attitude and deep desire to excel and help others.

Firstly, this enables us to provide the utmost value to each member, because everything we offer focuses on the specific needs of practice owners at a certain business level and in certain industries, as opposed to trying to offer all things to all practice owners and doing a disservice as a result of spreading too thin.

Secondly, it means that members can expect to network with fellow practice owners that have faced and overcome the same challenges, and can share experiences relating to their level in business and life.

Thirdly, having such membership criteria enables us to keep chronic skeptics and whiners out, and only allow high-achievers and go-getters in, so that members are able to surround themselves with the right influence.

We want to maintain high standards and quality networking within the association. back to top

How can I benefit the most from the weekly Open Q&A and Laser Coaching Clinic, seeing as it is in a group format?

Laser coaching is intended to be used to blast through a single challenge. Even if you don't have a question, you can still listen in and learn from others whose questions are answered. When you're listening in a group format you'll be able to see in others the patterns that may be holding you back but may have been in your blind spots. back to top

How do I find out about the association's upcoming activities if I am not a member?

What is the financial investment and what do I get for it?

Have a look at our Member Privileges page, which provides detailed information about what you'll receive when you become a GASPPO member, and the affordable annual fee. back to top

What's wrong with carrying on with things in the same way I am doing at the moment?

You can continue to run your small professional practice in the way you have been doing, but is that really enough? If it isn't, then you need to do something different. You need to educate yourself about what's working and what isn't working for you as a leader and for the business. You also need to connect yourself with a network that will propel you forward...

Joining GASPPO is an opportunity to consistently apply yourself and continuously make quantum leaps in relation to the "what," "when," "why" and "how" for maximizing your personal potential, taking your practice to the next level and enjoying personal freedom in relation to your values.

Albert Einstein once said: "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Think about this quote for a second and ask yourself if it applies to the way you run your small professional practice and grow yourself. For example, are you expecting to achieve certain business objectives by applying the same strategies year after year, even though that's not bringing the results you want?

If so, then ask yourself this... if you could gain access to a network of dynamic people and proven methods that will take you and your practice to the next level a lot quicker and easier than you do right now, and without sacrificing your values, would you be interested in trying it out risk-free?

If you would, then don't put your future (and that of your practice and those depending on you) on hold any longer! We urge you to join GASPPO and begin your journey to the next level. back to top

Why does GASPPO's Founder not have a last name appearing in business material?

Our Founder has rebranded her name to appear without a last name for business purposes. It's more personable and let's people know that she is approachable! back to top
