What a Mastermind Group Can Do for You!

 

Mastermind Group

I have been leading a Mastermind Group for the past 5 weeks.  There are 10 other professionals in the group who meet weekly to share ideas, discuss challenges and stretch ourselves to reach new limits.  I come away each and every week with an amazing, renewed energy.

 

If you have never been involved in a Mastermind Group, here are a few things that being associated with a group like this can do for you:

  • Maintain and develop strong networking skills
  • Share ideas and create new ideas or thoughts
  • Increase collaboration skills
  • Develop close, professional relationships
  • Foster a sense of "team" and support for one another
  • Bounce ideas off of one another in a "think-tank" environment
  • Creates a wonderful "accountability" model for the group

 

Taking time to continually develop yourself personally and professionally takes time and commitment. Consider committing to a group in your area or perhaps develop a group yourself.  My group was developed as a 12-week program.  We meet each Thursday morning for one hour.

 

That one hour is structured to maximize our time efficiently and effectively.  We begin and end on time in order to be respectful of everyone's time.  It is truly amazing what we are able to cover in that 60 minutes and how energized we are at the end of the that time.

 

I have learned so much during this time and can't wait now to create my next group!  Being trained as a John Maxwell Speaker, Trainer and Coach has prepared me with the tools and skills in order to lead my Mastermind groups.  Let me know if you need any help or assistance with a Mastermind Group or if you wish for me to speak at your next event!

 

Remember to take time for YOU!

I've been involved in a similar group.  We "virtually" meet on line in a private group and at least once a year in person.  It's with agents and brokers from all across the country and it's been great for my business.

I would love to find the right group of people and form a mastermind group. I've been involved in groups before. They can be very powerful.

I would love to join a group like this in my area. A friend and I have been discussing doing this very thing for some of the members in our brokerage. I think that I will start it my self as we have had many delays.

I like masterminds. The problem sometimes is that people don't want to be seen as ridiculous, unlike me. I find a grem of truth when off the top of your head ideas get bounced around. Chaotic but fun.

Sounds like this can be a very effective strategy Paula. I like the idea of starting and finishing on time, that works wonders for staying focused.

Great reminder, Paula. I started a group a number of years ago; but finally ended when numbers declined and it became more of a social gathering. It's time to find a new group.

I was invited to one of those one time.  Apparently they did not like what I had to say and I was never invited back....

I'm still looking for a good local mastermind group. I've attended a few group meetings but have often found groups to be too basic in their approach.
