Finding the Right Fit with a Mastermind Group to Propel You to Success
One thing which really increases the chance of long term success is having a support system. Typically when you consider your support system you will think about the people closest to you and whether they “are there for you” or not.
So often I see clients state they want to grow their practice, but don’t have a support system. The people who are closest to them are the very ones encouraging them not to change. It was okay when your business was seen as a “hobby” andDidn’t interfere with other parts of your life. As long as your practiceDidn’t inconvenience them, everything was okay.
Your family and friends might not comprehend your desire for success. Being misunderstood is very frustrating. Eventually, you stop speaking to them about what you are doing because they just don’t understand. Even though these are people you care deeply about, protect yourself and try to limit your contact with anyone who can’t support your goals. Look at the company you are keeping, do they support you or not?
What effect do these people have on you? They will either life you up or bring you down. If you are not receiving support from the people you spend the most time with, what will happen when you’re faced with challenges which are out of your league? Who will be there with you when you need to take that leap of faith in order to continue growing your practice? And the biggest question, how do you feel about all of this?
If this is what you’re experiencing, it is important you find people who are like-minded and have a similar desire for success. They are out there. When you are ready you will begin to take the steps to connect with them. Affiliating with other people who also have a mindset for success is very invigorating. They comprehend your desire for something Biggerand want the best for you.
When I was reading Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich” I was intrigued by his use of a mastermind group. Up until then I might have practiced having a mastermind group, but Did notknow there was an actual term for it. The value of surrounding yourself with people who are genuinely interested in your success and wellbeing is priceless. There is a comfort which comes from consulting with people who have your ideal interests at heart and are willing to be honest with you.
If you’re thinking BIG and ready to grow your practice, make sure you’ve people who truly support what you do. Your supports are your mastermind group. They might be individuals, a lay led group of like-minded people or a group of business owners all working together with a coach.
I have tried all of them and have found being part of a mastermind group led by a coach is best. Each of the group members have invested in the mastermind. Paying money to work with a coach increases the perceived value. The mastermind is sharing the journey with you. You will be moreprone tofollow through on assignments and to step out of your comfort zone when working in a supportive group setting.
My mastermind group gets together to network, grow and share ideas. It would be simple to view some of them as my competition, but I have long held the belief that there’s enough clients out there for everyone. Instead we’ve created relationships which focus on collaboration.
Sure, I could have grown my practice on my own without being in a mastermind group. My goal was to have accelerated growth. So I made the choice to surround myself and be coached by someone who already reached goals which were similar to mine. Having a mentor and being in a mastermind group was very attractive.
You are much moreapt to really reach your goals by spending time with people who are like-minded. Connect with someone who you view as a role model. Invest in a mentor, a coach or a mastermind. It is an investment, but the return on your investment can be substantial if you have the mindset for success.
