Mindshop’s Story

Mindshop started in 1994 in Melbourne, Australia as a family-run business with a philosophy of helping others using proven business tools and techniques.

Founded by Dr Chris Mason following the running of his successful, independent consulting business it has over the years expanded into a licensing model supporting the success of accounting firms, coaches and consultants.

Mindshop has a core focus of building high performing business advisors but in fact assists people all ages and professions, from students exploring future career paths via the charitable trust, Mindshop Excellence, all the way through to the most senior business leaders driving growth and profit in their organisations via our Mindshop advisors.

Mindshop Today

Fast-forward to today and Mindshop is thriving business, supporting thousands of business leaders and advisors in 14 countries accelerate their success. Its advisory technology, training, resources, coaching support and network are market leading and continuously improving each year.

Vision & Values

Our Vision

Our vision is to be the leading source of technology, education, coaching and leverage to quality business advisors around the globe, who fit with our core values. We will be market leaders at taking our target market on a tailored learning journey to achieve their high performance business advisory and personal goals with lifelong, sustained impact for them and their clients.

Our Values

Mindshop has six core values that drive our decision making and how we run the business. These are embraced by our community of global advisors, see below for more detail.

A Community With Shared Values

As a family-owned business, Mindshop lives and breathes six core values shared by the business advisors in our global community

Value to Others

We think of others first before our own needs, whether with suppliers, alliance partners, customers or team members. We’re always looking for ways to help others with our skills and knowledge with no hidden agenda for personal gain.

Best Practice

We have a growth mindset and always look for more effective ways of doing things.

Acting as sponges of quality business advisory knowledge from around the world and a variety of industries, we develop evidenced-based tools and processes to create high performing businesses and people.

Continuous Improvement

Never happy with the status quo, we are always looking for better ways of doing things.

Seeking to reduce the complexity in business processes and models, any solution we develop needs to be very practical and customer focused.

Community Contribution

Through our charity Mindshop Excellence, we build capability today in tomorrow’s problem solvers.

Mindshop Excellence fast tracks the development of young minds through a one week employer-hosted work experience program aimed at fostering skills such as team work & self confidence.

Fun

We can have a laugh at ourselves and don’t take things too seriously.

We treat our events as family gatherings where all are welcomed and made to feel at home. Our events are not a sales opportunity, there are no sponsors.

Authenticity

Authentic in all we do, we are happy to discuss both our strengths and weaknesses so we can grow.

We are understated and humble in public forums about our achievements and successes.

We call it as we see it with people we care about regardless of their opinion of us afterwards, we don’t have to be all things to all people.

The Mindshop Way

The Mindshop Way is a system and way of thinking with the
goal of making complex business advisory concepts simple:

  • grounded on the philosophy of ‘Value to Others’
  • embedded in all Mindshop tools, training & resources

The Mindshop Way simplifies business advisory complexities, making it easier to accelerate your advisory edge, for better client outcomes and internal performance improvements.

Community Purpose

Established by Mindshop Founders Chris & Julie Mason in 1993, Mindshop Excellence fast tracks the development of young minds through a one-week employer-hosted work experience program.

  • Fosters teamwork & self-confidence.
  • Students act as executives for the week with a real world issue to solve.
  • Using powerful problem-solving tools they find solutions as a team.
  • An online problem solving course is also available for those who can’t participate in person.
