Discover the Value of a Mastermind

and Illuminate Your Business & Life!
My business coach has been telling me for years that the only way I was going to achieve my goals in a timely way was to work with an accountability partner or to participate in a mastermind group. I have to admit, I have tried both and neither one of them helped me break through any roadblocks or achieve any specific goals. The groups lasted for a few months and then eventually faded away.
In a moment of weakness this past February, I said yes to another mastermind group. It wasn't until I joined this particular mastermind, facilitated by this particular coach - Kathy Burrus - that I was able to finally understand the benefit and necessity of accountability.
What was different this time?
1. We followed a strict format that was adhered to without exception.
2. I was asked to breakdown my BIG goal into what I wanted to achieve in the month of March – no more – no less.
3. I then mapped out the steps involved to reach my goal and chose ONE part to focus on.
4. Finally I had to explain why I wanted to achieve my goal and what it meant to me personally.
What did I discover during this mastermind?
I live my life completely around the joy of connection. Connecting a person to a person, connecting a person to their dream, connecting a feeling or solution to a problem, connecting daily with God, connecting at an intellectual level, and connecting with nature. What a huge awareness for me. So if I am not connecting one way or another in what I am saying or experiencing, I am just not going to do it! Well if that doesn't simplify what the steps within my goal should look and feel like. – And that discovery arrived during week 3 of the 5 week mastermind. A BIG game changer!
After week one and two of the five-week mastermind, I waited until the last minute to complete my accountability work for the following week. By week three…..I had it done within a day of our mastermind session and by week four I couldn't wait for our final session because I was experiencing SO MUCH success. I plan on signing up for another month so that I can tackle a new focus - break it down into doable steps - and see it all the way through to completion!
Have you been part of a mastermind that has brought you huge success. If so, I would love to hear more about it.
Many Blessings, Jenn
