Recently I led a Day of Magic at my home, where clients come over and we mastermind their business all day. Masterminding is a process where a group of like-minded people get together and dedicate time to focus on each other’s businesses, one-by-one, forming a powerful collective brain to help each other strategize quantum leap moves.
At the event, Nikkea Devida, who’s been a member of my SASSY (Sales, Authenticity and Success) Mastermind for three years seemed to be really digging into things we had already figured out about her business.
When I asked her why, she told me that she wanted to take the day to question her answers, to reassess the conclusions she had come to and take a broad view of her entire business.
Since that day, I’ve been reflecting on how brilliant that is.
Sometimes as entrepreneurs we’re so focused on strategizing growth plans that we don’t take the time to re-look at the foundation upon which we’re building our business. That foundation includes our conclusions, which create our reality. It may be that conclusions we drew early on, when our field of view was narrow, are limiting our business.
For instance, you may have come to limited conclusions about your market, such as the most they’re willing to pay for your product or service or how often they want to hear from you through promotional emails. You could be leaving a lot of people unserved and a lot of money on the table through choices you made early on.
Now, you don’t want to be constantly looking back over your shoulder or second-guessing your choices all day, but periodically it’s really wise to take a 60,000-foot view and look again at conclusions you made early on.
The mastermind setting is really the ideal place to do that, because you have a group of committed, like-minded people who can see what you can’t see. They’ll ask you pertinent questions and give you a powerful perspective that could really catapult your business to the next level.
In fact when I first joined a high-level mastermind group, my income shot from $130,000 to $2.2 million in only 10 months. We doubled that again the very next year. Thus today’s exciting Inc500 announcement!
So whether you’re questioning your answers or you’re looking for other benefits such as priceless support, high-level mentorship, coaching, structured accountability, tools and resources, retreats, first-class treatment, and more, I believe masterminding is an investment in yourself that pays in spades.
