Masterminding has become an essential part of my work week since I joined a group specifically for small business owners who are sincerely committed to their own and each other's growth and success. This weekly activity of Masterminding has also permeated my personal life as I've become more engaged in the weekly meetings and more aware of the challenges and achievements of my fellow members, some so similar to my own. I've noticed a special bond developing between we members who've shown our commitment to the group and are not afraid to relax into the process of Master minding. I can practically feel the relaxation and excitement as we get seated at the breakfast table and prepare to open up to others' frank, yet always supportive input. This has resulted in a firm foundation for special friendships.

Soon I'll be reaching my 1 year anniversary of membership and have such a different outlook than this time last year. I'm focused, more confident and authentic in business as well as personal matters. I've learned to pause and ask myself before taking on new projects, "Will this activity or opportunity take me and my business where I truly want to go?" This advice came from our facilitator and mentor at from my very first meeting, along with another question I continue to ask myself, "What's important about this activity/opportunity to me?"

The value of my Thursday morning group is priceless. I show up, share with my friends and mentor, have some breakfast and listen and learn so much about running a small business. Oh, and did I mention the friendships and camaraderie that's developed? All this from like minds gathering together for the same purpose. Happy Anniversary to you at whatever point you are at in membership of your group! Here's to more growth and success!
