• What do I continue doing?
• What do I need to stop doing?
• What do I start doing?

I’ve been facing a cross-road in my life. When reminded of these questions last October, I diligently sat at the keyboard and answered them in great detail. Then I shortened them into something I felt was doable and set to work. I did and did and did. I tried and tried and tried. I got discouraged and quit. Then I tried some more. Does this sound familiar? Spinning wheels with long lists of “shoulds” and “could’s” and doing more. We guilt ourselves for our failures. We guilt ourselves for not trying hard enough. And when that’s not enough… we blame others for our short-comings. If only… if only… Break the cycle. Look at your choices from a distance. And then ask yourself:
What do I continue doing? Analyze what has worked well. What brings you and others the greatest joy and the greatest results. Once you’ve looked closely at what you’re doing, it will become clear what you’d really like to continue. Write down “why” you will continue these things. These things are constants.
What do I need to stop doing? Perhaps the hardest question to answer. Many times there is emotion tied to something we are doing, and we don’t want to face the reality that it isn’t working anymore. Be kind to yourself, but also be realistic. And when it’s time to stop doing something, chose to stop. These things may be your dead horse and it may be time to unload it.
What do I start doing? Well, the list is endless. It’s time to dream, plan, research, and implement your best ideas. Those that promise the greatest personal and professional results. These are your dreams, aspirations, and the new in your life.
And most of all, enjoy the process. Embrace, say goodbye, and then say hello to what’s new in your life.

A mastermind group is a “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”

Have you been asked recently to join a MasterMind? Some meet in person, some over the phone. There are all shapes and sizes. And all sorts of prices.

Napoleon Hill in “Think and Grow Rich” was the first to propose the idea of a mastermind group. He defined it as a “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”  Today, it has become a small group of people who have similar goals and who meet on a regular basis to help each other with brainstorming, accountability, or to educate each other.

There are two basic kinds of mastermind groups.  The first one is a group of people focused on helping one individual succeed.  These groups are usually called advisory boards. A second kind is a group that wants mutual benefit. They join because they want accountability, inspiration, or other guidance. These groups may be created by someone who had an interest or could be formed by a coach, consultant, or specialized person who desires to lead others to their success.

The benefits are endless. Can you see them? You can have a group “in your corner”. A group of like-minded individuals who will support, encourage, and cheer for you. A group who will hold you accountable to the things you say you want to accomplish. A group that will inspire you to keep going and to reach higher goals. The group is available to help you succeed. In turn, each person adds his/her own perspective, expertise, input, and feedback. 

Your mastermind group has a network available to them who can offer resources and connections that you may need.

Doesn’t this sound wonderful? The synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that each person brings to a mastermind group helps to challenge participants to reach higher, dig deeper, and go where no one has gone before.
