Master Networks: Openings & Opportunities from an Original Venture

Like something out of the pages of a novel, a new chapter is opening here on Marco Island. Local entrepreneurs Al Wagner and Mark Morze have started a new commercial venture which not only aims to aid in the growth of businesses both emerging and prominent, but spark new connections that will develop into an empowering network of trust and interdependent relationships. That venture is known as Master Networks.

Master Networks is a service that was founded under “The Big 5 T’s (Teamwork, Timing, Targeting, Tracking, and Thinking).” Those five words are what this venture stands for, and what it hopes to achieve as its numerous chapters continue to branch out across the United States. Each chapter is self-governed by its own entrepreneurial president who is tasked with reaching out to other business partners and bring them into the group. Already, chapters can be found in various states like Georgia, Texas, Delaware, and many more. Even Florida is already on the map with a Master Networks chapter located right out of Naples. Presently, Al Wagner—Founder and CEO of TruPayroll—is the current president of the chapter opening here on Marco Island. As a member of Master Networks, Mr. Wagner wants to bring the opportunities this resourceful service offers to his hometown.

Trying to start/run your own business can be scary, especially if you’re doing it by yourself. Finding the right people to trust is one of the biggest trials that can save or end a business. Relationships are the key and Master Networks exists to offer numerous keys for anyone who joins. As the name implies, this is a service where professionals from different industries can meet to not only build their referral network, but create new opportunities that will improve their business. Here’s an example of how the referral system works. Pretend you’re a tax adviser who needs your roof repaired. As a member of Master Networks, you have access to the array of members within your chapter, which includes their services as well. So, you can reach out to a member who runs a repair service to set up an arrangement. Now, while this is going on, you suddenly receive a request from another member who is looking for your service as a tax adviser. That’s the way Master Networks plays. It’s a game of ‘Give and Get.’ You give service for your business, and in return, you’ll get service. But wait, there’s more.

Master Networks isn’t just for entrepreneurs who have their own established business, however, those trying to start one are welcomed as well. Training and education is just another commodity you can anticipate from this brilliant service. Most importantly, it teaches the master skill of every business, which is building the bonds you’ll need to keep yourself standing on your own two feet.

The deal only continues to get sweeter, because I haven’t even mentioned the icing on top. All businesses are welcomed. That’s correct, Master Networks isn’t just for upper-class business tycoons. Automotive, Commercial, Construction, Health & Beauty, the list is endless. So long as it’s legal, all businesses are welcomed to join.

Master Networks believes that the best way to build relationships is through a weekly experience. Every chapter holds a one-hour meeting once a week for various activities including training seminars, inducting new businesses, mingling with other members, and many more. Currently, the chapter opening here on Marco Island will be meeting every Tuesday, 8 AM at Keller Williams Realty, 830 Bald Eagle Drive. For future members, bear in mind that business owners unable to attend said meetings are free to send a representative in their place. And for the non-members out there still considering if this is the right path, you can still come. Non-members are allowed to attend at least one weekly meeting as a guest, and it won’t cost you a thing except an hour of your time.

If you’re interested in Master Networks, but feel like you need more information, then head on over to their website: www.masternetworks.com. There you can find all sorts of remarkable material about this service, including information regarding chapters outside of Florida, future events, their special rewards program, even podcasts and videos. It can be challenging for a business owner in this ever-changing economy to find a way past the narrow gap that hinders our trust in others. Master Networks exists to bridge that gap and open the way to a whole new system of connections and relationships. I believe Al Wagner, the current Marco Island Chapter President, said it best, “Visit as a guest, leave as a friend, join as a family.”
