The BMG is made for two types of people:

1) People who want to start a business and need guidance to transform their business ideas and plans into a real, successful business.

2) People who have an existing business and want to improve its performance, grow the business (size, sales, and profits), or properly organize the business with systems and structure.

There are 3 key benefits of joining the BMG:

1) Prívate Consultations with John-Paul

As a member of the BMG, you will have a private “1-on-1“ consultation (strategy session) with John-Paul Iwuoha to discuss your business challenges, ideas, goals, and concerns.

After joining the BMG, you will be expected to choose a convenient date and time for your session. The private strategy session lasts for 30 minutes and can be held via phone, WhatsApp, or Zoom.

Note: Every BMG member is entitled to one private strategy session every three (3) months. This quarterly schedule ensures you are able to act on John-Paul’s advice, make progress, and return with feedback.

2) Ongoing Business Training

There are two types of ongoing business training in the BMG that ensure continuous learning, improvement, and development for our members.

The first is the Weekly Focus Topics. Every week, John-Paul releases a new course or lesson in the BMG that focuses on a specific business topic, challenge, opportunity, or interest. As a member of the BMG, you will have access to all the previous and upcoming recorded videos on a wide range of business topics.

The second is the Learning Platform. As a member of the BMG, you will have full access to our exclusive learning platform that contains all of John-Paul’s signature courses, including the “Raise Up To $1 Million” Program, a comprehensive fundraising program for entrepreneurs and business owners (which has a $999 value).

Note: The BMG is designed for busy business people. All lessons and courses are recorded and shared online. There are no fixed times for classes in the BMG. You can learn whenever and from wherever you are.

3) Ask Questions & Get Answers within 24 Hours

The BMG has an active Q&A Forum (a private WhatsApp group) where members can ask any questions about their business problems, challenges, ideas, plans, situations, or opportunities and get direct feedback and responses from John-Paul Iwuoha within 24 hours.

In addition to John-Paul’s insights and advice, you will benefit from the inputs of other BMG members who have knowledge and experience that are relevant to your business, industry, or specific business problem or circumstance.

As a result of this easy access to quick and valuable feedback, BMG members can quickly get the advice, insights and support they need to make high-quality business decisions, quickly solve business problems, and promptly take advantage of market opportunities.

There are three (3) steps to join the BMG:

Step 1: Answer some questions.

Answer some questions about yourself (and your business) so we know if you qualify to join the BMG. We only want people who can benefit from the BMG to join.

Step 2: Join the Waiting Room.

If you qualify to join the BMG, you will be invited to join the Waiting Room (a private WhatsApp group for qualified candidates).

Step 3: Pay and join the BMG.

When the next vacancy or enrollment opens in the BMG (usually at the end of the month), the payment details will be announced in the Waiting Room so you can pay and join the BMG.

The BMG only accepts new members once a month, usually on the first Saturday of the month. This is known as “Enrollment Day” in the BMG.

The specific date for enrollment, number of available spots, and payment details are announced in the Waiting Room before Enrollment Day.

BMG membership comes with a monthly, quarterly, half-year, or yearly payment. Members are free to choose their most convenient payment option.

The current membership fee for the BMG is N37,500 (Naira) or $45 (US Dollar) per month, or the equivalent in your local currency.

The annual membership fee is N375,000 (Naira) or $450 (US Dollar) per year, or the equivalent in your local currency.

Note: The annual plan gives you a full year's access to the BMG and saves you 2 months' costs.

Payments can be made via debit card (Mastercard, Visa, etc.), bank transfer, mobile money, and other options. Our payment processor accepts US Dollars, British Pounds, Nigerian Naira, Ghana Cedi, Kenyan Shillings, XOF, XFA, and up to six other currencies.

Yes you can.

The BMG works for members in every location and time zone. We currently have members from almost a dozen countries, within and outside Africa.

As long as you have access to the internet and WhatsApp, you can enjoy the full benefits of the BMG.

The BMG is designed for busy entrepreneurs and business owners, no matter your time zone. This is why there are no live events in the BMG. The training lessons are recorded and you can ask questions or join conversations when you want to.

In summary, the BMG is for people who want flexibility and convenience to learn at their own pace.

Of course you can.

However, only people who have completed the BMG Assessment Form and joined the Waiting Room are eligible to join the BMG. You can only pay for (or sponsor) a person as long as he/she is in the Waiting Room.

If you want a friend, business partner, or relative to join the BMG, ask them to answer the questions on the BMG Assessment Form.

Please ask them to answer the questions here: the BMG Assessment Form.

If they are qualified for the BMG, they will get access to the Waiting Room. Only people in the Waiting Room can join the BMG.

The first thing that happens on the day you join the BMG is “Onboarding.”

As part of the Onboarding phase, new BMG members will introduce themselves and their businesses, and learn about the rules and features of the BMG. You will then be given access to the learning platform (for all the business courses) and get the opportunity to book your first private “1-on-1” consultation with John-Paul Iwuoha.

After Onboarding comes “Integration”. New BMG members can start participating in the BMG WhatsApp subgroups, ask questions and get answers in the Q&A Forum, and enjoy all the benefits of their BMG membership.

Note: The BMG comes with a fully- responsive service. Any member who has issues with accessing or using any feature in the BMG gets the help and support they need within 24 hours.

Of course, you can leave and rejoin the BMG. However, your vacant spot will be filled by a new member from the Waiting Room.

Rejoining the BMG at a later date is subject to the availability of vacant spots. Members who leave the BMG can choose to return to the Waiting Room.

The Waiting Room is a holding space for people interested in joining the BMG. It is a free WhatsApp Group that can only be joined after completing the BMG application form.

The purpose of the Waiting Room is to select members for the BMG and provide updates and important information about joining the BMG.

People in the Waiting Room also get benefits and perks like a free monthly business clinic with John-Paul Iwuoha that includes business consultations and Q&A sessions.

To join the Waiting Room, complete the BMG Application Form here.

Unfortunately, not all at once.

Due to John-Paul’s personal involvement in the BMG and his focus on a quality experience, there is a fixed and limited capacity in the BMG. Those who are unable to get into the BMG at this time will have to wait their turn in the Waiting Room.

There are 3 key benefits of remaining in the Waiting Room if you’re not selected to join the BMG:

1) If new or vacant spots become available in the BMG, only people within the Waiting Room can be invited to fill those spots.

2) An exclusive monthly business clinic for Waiting Room members where John-Paul will provide free consultations and Q&A.

3) Other perks and benefits to be announced.

The only way to be accepted back into the Waiting Room is to complete the application form again.

No promotions, advertising, marketing, or solicitations for money or finance, are allowed in the Waiting Room. Our goal is to make the group a safe, low pressure, and valuable space for everyone.

We encourage you to ask your questions in the Waiting Room. A core purpose of the Waiting Room is to address questions and provide clarity about joining the BMG.
