One of the key benefits of creating a Mastermind Group is to have someone hold you accountable for the goals you create for yourself.
If you commit to someone else you're far more likely to follow through. For example, if you set a goal to lose weight and go to the gym 3 days a week, if you commit to going to the gym with a friend you're more likely to go. If you just rely on yourself it's too easy to take a day off and find excuses not to go. Pretty soon you find yourself not going at all and wonder what happened to your plan that started off so well.
The same principle applies to business. If you set a goal and commit to someone else you're far more likely to follow through. Any good Mastermind Group will have a goal setting function where you write down and share what your goals are for your business. In addition, you should have a follow through mechanism. For example, in our groups, members are paired up and call each other once a week to follow up on how the goals are going and make sure action is being taken.
An interesting take on this concept is Kirsten Harrell who has recently set up her own Mastermind Group and the members will be sharing their goals with all the readers of Kirsten's blog! Now that's committing to someone else!

Hi Evan,
If all goes well, we will be taking the committing to others to a whole new level! Should be interesting! :)
