It’s so easy to get caught up in the daily tasks of working in our business, that we forget to take the time out to get together with like-minded people to work on our business. And that’s exactly what I did recently, when I met with some of my top Joint Venture partners for a gathering to share our plans for the year and really see how we could lift each other up.

It was such an awesome masterminding experience. And we had so many amazing takeaways, that I just had to share a few of them with you.

The video is here, but, below that, I’ve also summarized each person’s major takeaway, so that you can see at a glance the power that comes from taking time out to work on your business. Extra points if you notice the theme! 😉

Their plans lift mine. I love masterminding, and today was no exception. Just listening to my fellow partners’ plans for the year really lifted my own aspirations. And I realized that the more they teach me how to be a better marketer, better at delivering what my company does, we all win.

Where am I capping my own growth? Justin Livingston said that he loves being around people whom he admires and respects, who are up to similar things, and up to bigger things, because it really helps him to identify the areas in which he’s capping his own personal growth, business growth, potential for clients, etc. He also said that every time he’s part of a high-level mastermind like this one, where he has access to great techniques and strategies, he finds that time and again, any issues actually tend to come down to limiting beliefs.

I totally agree. We often think that issues in our business are only about a need for different strategies and tactics, but when we get underneath all that, it’s actually limiting beliefs that are holding us back.

Think Bigger. That’s the takeaway of Christian Mickelsen, who said it’s so easy to get caught up in what am I going to do this week, this month, this next promotion, that it’s super valuable to take the time out to think bigger and farther ahead, to think about his visions for the year and beyond the year. And even though the ideas were kind of in his head already, taking the time to articulate them made them more clear and more real.

Think Even Bigger. After we all shared our visions of what our businesses are going to look like this year, Bill Baren made a joke, “Oh my God, our visions are so small.” And even though it was a joke, it dawned on a couple of us that compared to what’s actually possible, our visions are small. Well, Bill was so inspired by the aftermath of his quip that he committed to looking at how he can make his vision so big that he can’t even accomplish it in his lifetime!

Foosball and Hoverboard. I think this is something you just have to see. So if you haven’t already watched the video, I invite you to do it now and catch my first experience riding a Hoverboard.

And, in the meantime, remember to get together with your peers and expand your vision, articulate it out loud, and lift each other up!
