My MasterMind group met last week. We're had to meet sporadically over the summer due to family obligations, job responsibilities and other situations. But our goals have not been forgotten during this time. We reflected last week on how much we have accomplished not just during the summer but throughout the year as we have met together.

Two of us have created new websites and products for sale to the public. They will be more established in a few weeks so I'll mention them in a future post.

These were items that the members had are new concepts and first items created by these members. One member had always thought of the item as a useful parenting tool. She is a counselor and thought her parents /clients would profit from such a product in dealing with their children. She felt encouraged enough by our group to pursue its production. She found it was not difficult to do and is on the road to taking it nationally.

The other member came up with the concept of a self-help item and is also pursuing the idea of taking it nationally.

I've had several magazine articles come out this year in publications that I've never been published in before. They are national and bigger regionals that is exciting to me - Farm & Ranch Living, Indianapolis Monthly, American Legacy. I'm pursuing a full-time job in an area that I love reporting on - travel writing. We'll see where that goes.

MasterMind groups are terrific for networking and emotional support. I would not have thought I could make it in the bigger magazines without my MasterMind group. The others feel strengthened also by our meetings.

We plan to meet more often in the fall. Who knows how far we'll reach collectively this year?
