Build a business that runs without you
Work through the framework the authors have used with 300+ owners — building a Dream Team and the systems behind it so the business stops depending on you being in the room.
A peer group, not a book on the shelf
Reading alone changes almost nothing. You'll work through the book alongside other owners who hold you accountable, share what's worked, and push you to actually install it.
A weekly action summary
Every week you get a written summary of the reading with the key concepts pulled into clear action steps — so even on a busy week you show up ready to work and leave with something to do.
About the mastermind
You started your business for freedom. Somewhere along the way, it started owning you — the after-hours calls, the work that lands back on your desk when someone quits, the week off you can't take because things wobble the minute you step away. Most owners think the only way out is to sell. It isn't. Over six weeks, we'll work through Exit Without Selling together and turn it into specific moves for your business: getting yourself out of the weeds, designing a team that runs without you, attracting people who act like owners, and building systems that solve problems when you're not in the room. You don't have to choose between burnout and a buyout. I'm Mike Porter. I own and operate several businesses and facilitate masterminds for owners under TDR Way — because I've watched a room of peers change more behavior in six weeks than a stack of books ever could. We meet Wednesdays at 11:00 AM Pacific for one hour, starting July 29, 2026. The investment is $275 for all six weeks; the book is purchased separately, so grab your copy of Exit Without Selling before our first session. Seats are limited — enroll above and let's go get your life back.
Mike Porter
I'm Mike Porter — founder of TDR Way, a professional speaker, author of Open the Door to the Truth, and owner of several businesses. For about ten years I've run mastermind groups for owners, and I've watched a room of committed peers change more in a few weeks than a stack of books ever could. I still run real companies every day, so what I bring to the room is what's working right now, not theory. I built this Exit Without Selling mastermind to help you do the one thing every owner I meet is chasing: get out of the day-to-day without giving up what you've built.

What people are saying

I love to hate the classes that we have, I know that sounds weird, But I relunctantly joined, and I always seem to think I will get nothing out of the group. But I am always amazed what comes out of the discussions. Well worth the one hour a week.

What I like is it makes me read. And Porter has away of putting things into context, and making it real for me and my business.
California
I absolutely love, that I spend at least one hour a week working on my business instead of just in it. This group is a must for anyone trying to further their business.

Honestly, I love the accountability. I will admit I don't read before every class, and although it is better if I do, the summary that is given helps me stay caught up. I love talking with other business owners and getting their input on what they are doing and how what we have learned can be put into practice.
