Networking

Being a business owner is NOT easy, sometimes the hardest thing can be getting the support you feel you need in order to succeed in business.

In this week’s blog post I focus on how a supportive group of like-minded people can positively impact your business!  Watch the video or read the post below to learn more.

There are several types of business groups that you can join that positively impacts your business.  These include groups like your local chamber of commerce, referral groups like Business Networking International (BNI), and online groups like Facebook Groups and LinkedIn Groups. But for this post I am focusing on ONE type of group that can make a major difference for your business and will help you move forward in business, and that group is an intimate mastermind group with approximately 3-8 members.

A mastermind is a group of people coming together to collectively brainstorm and support each other.  Here are three key things that you get from being involved in an intimate mastermind group:

1. Support–   Being involved in a mastermind group gives you various support including emotional support, spiritual support, resources, recommendations, etc. It’s a group of people who will be there for you through the ups and downs of your business.
2. Community–  An intimate group of like-minded, focused, and ambitious people can really help you with your business.  As an entrepreneur or business owner, you’ve taken a different path than most, so getting the support from others who understand your journey and know what you are going through is important.  It helps you to feel less isolated and by yourself and more involved in a group.
3. Accountability–  A mastermind group helps to hold you accountable to your business goals and action steps.  Accountability is key to moving your business forward especially when you are held accountable to a group, you are more likely to stay on track to meet your goals.
