There is synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that participants bring to a Mastermind Group. The beauty of Mastermind Groups is that participants raise the bar by challenging each other to create and implement goals, brainstorm ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect and compassion.
Mutual support
I like to form groups around a specific activity, but even with differing goals
you’ll be able to lean on each other for support. Many times when my progress has slowed on a
specific goal, the members of my mastermind are the only people who really understand what has
been going on behind the scenes, and give me support in spite of my failed efforts.
Differing perspectives
Hearing the different views my fellow mastermind participants have
allows me to see issues I wouldn’t otherwise become aware of – in my life, and in my approach
to my goals. Whether I agree with their assessment or not, it always gives me a better understanding
of how I can better improve my approach.
Resources
Everyone in your group will have access to a different skillset and network of people.
I’ve often found that when I ask for help in my mastermind groups, these resources help me make progress
in ways I never could by myself.
Accountability
My fellow group members hold me accountable to goals I set. In addition,
just knowing that I have a regularly scheduled meeting internally drives me to make progress
– because I don’t want to be the only person reporting back that I haven’t made an effort to move
my projects forward.
