The Empire Builders Mastermind

The Empire Builders Mastermind is a group of like-minded individuals who have a desire to define and grow their platforms, products, and peer group.

I’ve spent the last 17 years building my 7-figure empire–which includes multiple six-figure income streams from coaching, training, consulting, book publishing, and much more. Now, I’m helping others to define, direct, and build their empires! Again in 2025, I’ll be hosting this Mastermind designed to help you make massive progress toward your vision of having an empire of your own. Combining my experience with the carefully selected participants of this group, 2025 can and should be your best year yet, and set the stage for many successful years to come!

“No two minds ever come together without, thereby,
creating a third, invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”
―Napoleon Hill

The Empire Builders Mastermind provides:

1. Community & Engagement – “When you associate with eagles, you’ll learn how to soar to great heights.” ~Colin Powell

When you join Empire Builders Mastermind, you’ll be surrounded by a carefully curated group of the. most. amazing. people—who are also 100% focused on their results–and yours, too!

  • Every month during our year together, we will meet virtually as a group. Our gatherings provide instruction and education, as well as opportunities for advice, support, and guidance.
  • Twice during the year, we gather in Nashville for connection, inspiration, motivation, and transformation—as well as excellent food and fun!
  • You will get exclusive access to our Slack community, which is dedicated to the success of everyone in the Empire Builders Mastermind.
  • You also have access to me for one-on-one conversations and strategy sessions, something I now only provide to members.

2. Focus. – “Focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward the answer.” ~Dennis Waitley

The focus of the Empire Builders Mastermind is to help each member build a million dollar a year (7-figure) empire comprised of multiple 6- and 7-figure income streams. You’ll identify and launch one or even two new income streams during our year together. Whether you have begun to build your empire (and have a stream of income or three) or you’re starting from scratch, EBM will help you design your plan and immediately start moving in the right direction. 

3. Goal Achievement. – “People with goals succeed because they know where they are going.” ~Earl Nightingale

You’ll have multiple goals during your year in the Empire Builders Mastermind and the structure to accomplish them! One of them will be to identify and create one or two *new* six- or seven-figure streams of income and put it in place!

4. Insight. – “Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn.” ~Benjamin Franklin

As someone who has created fourteen six- and seven-figure income streams, I will guide you as you create yours, sharing everything I know (including materials, putting together your game plan, and insight into what else you will want to consider).

Plus, you’ll be in a group of smart folks who have their own education, experience, and knowledge and are willing to help you, too!

5. Strategies and Systems. – “Practice isn’t the thing you do once you’re good. It’s the thing you do that makes you good.” ~Malcolm Gladwell, The Outliers

The structure will set you free. The Empire Builders Mastermind provides the framework you’ll need to create an empire that still gives you freedom. My empire provides complete financial and time freedom—you really can have the best of both worlds, when you know what to do, and when, and why. I’ll teach you the what, the why and the how. I’ll also help you to think differently, in a way that expands what is possible for you now and for as long as you’re working in or on your empire.

6. Members-Only Benefits. "Membership has its privileges." ~American Express

The participants in the Empire Builders Mastermind can immediately earn affiliate revenue through a special offering only provided to current Class of 2024 members. Their course content, combined with other Class of 2024 participants, added to the Empire Builders MasterClass via a fully optimized custom learning platform, can provide an immediate additional income stream.

7. Buy Speed. "Pay any price to gain access to those who get you where you want to go easier and faster." ~Honorée Corder

The Empire Builders Mastermind gives you access to a mentor (Honorée Corder–me!) who (a) has over twenty years as an empire builder and (b) deeply cares about you and your success.

I show up for every meeting and answer every email and text. What took me years could take you months (mere weeks!) because I help you strategize your path to success, peer around corners, avoid pain, and gain profits in record time.
 

More: There are other aspects of the Empire Builders Mastermind I don’t list here—and you’ll be delighted when you learn what they are.

Watch Lucas Marino’s EBM testimonial above! 

"I signed up for EBM because I’d never been in a Mastermind and I was ready to grow my business. Also, coming from a traditional publishing background, I honestly didn’t know much about the ins and outs of self-publishing.

By joining EBM, I’ve been able to give more guidance to my clients and raise my rates. The first year I joined, my income increased by 17%. The second year, it increased 90%! I absolutely have more confidence in myself, my abilities, and my pricing.

Another huge win for me was the genuine brainstorming and encouragement from the other members. It was so nice to have a group of people to reach out to when questions or new situations came my way. I learned so much from Honorée and the other participants and I highly recommend joining. You will absolutely not regret it. (I wish I knew about it sooner!)"
"I have talked to many book coaches and self-publishing experts, but Honorée is the master. I knew that if I was going to invest in a mastermind it needed to be hers. I joined EBM in 2020. I had two bestselling books and no idea how to scale my business from there. In just 6 months I've already launched my first online course, procured several foreign rights deals for my books, learned the ins and outs of advertising on AMS, been booked on over 60 podcasts, and re-designed my website. Not only does Honorée make herself completely accessible to her mastermind, but she has curated an astonishing group of experienced and knowledgeable authors. The fact that I have a group of experts I can turn to every day for help has provided an enormous sense of relief to me. I'm on track to have my first six-figure year as an author, and I am SO grateful I made the decision to join Honorée's mastermind. Thank you so much Honorée!"
"I joined EBM in 2019. I was coming off a very challenging year in 2018, and I knew I needed a strong, smart, savvy coach and mentor to lead me. As of this moment, I've been in EBM for 18 months and already can't wait to rejoin in 2021. I've had incredible personal growth, but also MAJOR business growth, including adding 2 steams of revenue, with plans to add 1-2 additional steams yet this year. I'm clear, focused, more aligned than ever, which also means I'm leading my business and my own clients boldly. The ripple effect is incredible!"
"Empire Builders Mastermind is an exceptional group for author entrepreneurs who are serious about up leveling their book, brand, and business. The access to Honorée Corder alone is beyond valuable. She is brilliant, genuine, and caring. Honorée is a hands on leader offering ongoing support, thoughtful feedback, and sage advice whenever it’s needed. Her knowledge base about publishing and business is simply unparalleled. And the authors in EBM are absolutely incredible. I know that the business and personal growth I experienced this year would not have happened without Empire Builders Mastermind. So grateful I made the decision to join EBM!"

"Why did I decide to join EBM? I wanted to be a part of a community with other professionals, share my story to get feedback, learn from that, hopefully focus better, and inspire others. The main takeaway for me from EBM is that transparency and vulnerability with other amazing professionals are the true measures of growth. I participated for two years and understood it would take time to implement the learning. My business income basically doubled in that two year timeframe. That business money growth was not luck … the growth was based on focusing on the right mindset."

I cannot thank Honorée enough for creating Empire Builders Mastermind (EBM) and welcoming me into the group. Throughout my time in EBM, I’ve been able to build upon my existing business and create a well-defined plan for my empire, which is much larger than I originally envisioned. Honorée provides example after example of ways to monetize different elements of business and helps identify numerous additional income streams. 

I’ve been involved with other coaching programs where once I joined, I was assigned a subordinate coach and had little access to the main person who possessed all the key knowledge I craved. This is not what happens in EBM. Honorée is EBM. Once I joined, I had extensive access to Honorée through private calls, routine small group video calls, live events and an even more intimate group strategy session in Nashville. EBM provided the right mix of live sessions, recorded trainings and in-person meetings. The size of EBM is perfect. The number of people is small enough to develop deep relationships and yet large enough to garner incredible insights from the diverse group.  

The value I received far exceeded my investment. There seemed to be an endless amount of bonus content which I was not expecting in the program. I even walked away from a small group strategy session with a well-structured diagram of the elements in my empire. 

 I recommend EBM to anyone interested in creating and growing income streams and building a long-lasting empire. There is no one I would rather have in my corner to help grow my empire than Honorée. 

"I am beginning my forth year in EBM in 2023. That speaks for my appreciation for this mastermind by itself.  I can easily say that Honoree has changed the trajectory of my retirement years by helping me develop income streams that I love.  She helped and supported me while I completed my first book, then helped me monetize it by helping me discover a totally unexpected income stream. Every year has also brought new contacts and friendships that would have taken me a long time to discover on my own.  I chose to invest in myself. I will continue to be a part of the awesomness of this group as long as I can."

"The Empire Builders Mastermind helped inspire new streams of income, and connected me to a community of fellow business owners who play with a spirit of collaboration (badass). But the most powerful benefit for me was how our leader, Honorée, gently, and sometimes necessarily not so, forced us to up-level the mindset required to build an empire. Without that piece, it’s a struggle. She, and this program, were built to help you succeed. I highly recommend you take advantage of all it has to offer."
