As much as we all love clinical practice, it’s really good to have people in your corner so that you can keep being in business and keep helping people. Today we’re talking about the power of a mastermind and the simple fact that more heads are often better than one!
More Heads are Better Than One
Who’s ever been inside their head before, sitting in your own little space behind the scenes in your practice, listening to the only voice that’s in that room, going over and over and over and round and around in a circle in your head having a conversation with yourself?
If you’ve done this, has that voice been helpful or has it been hindering?
I held one of our masterminds for practitioners recently, so I thought I would share with you about all of the things that I have found beneficial personally from participating in masterminds. Especially how much easier it is, and how much more magic happens, when you’re surrounded by the power of more minds than your own.
It’s really easy to get into our own loops and stories all the time, particularly when we’re by ourselves or in a bit of a funk around what’s happening with our business or our clients. But when we’re surrounded by like-minded people who are on the same wavelength, something else magical happens.
What Goes Around, Comes Around
This is not a new concept. There’s this little book called Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and if you haven’t read it, it’s like business entrepreneurship 101. This book was written 1937, but the wisdom from then is still really powerful right now for you and your business.
There are some basics that apply at every level of your business. It’s not like like there’s a magic pill that comes around the next time you uplevel – it’s the same stuff:
- knowing your numbers
- pushing through your blocks
- making sure that you’re reaching more people
- referencing your marketing
- your messaging
It’s really just going back to the same core things and reviewing and renewing.
The information in this book is just as relevant today as it was in 1937. Here’s a quote from page 195 about what a mastermind is:
Coordination of knowledge and effort in a spirit of harmony between two or more people for the attainment of a definite purpose.
This is one of the cool things that I love about business! It can be a hell of a lot more woo-woo and a lot more energetic than we first perceive.
First, we may be all business, business, business. But then there’s an energy that happens, an energy that changes things. Now, when a collective energy happens, mind-blowing stuff happens!
There is so much gold in this book about relationships, about connecting with others, about perceived failures and how to get through them. But today we’re focusing on the mastermind.
Collaborate to Grow
The things that stand out for me are the spirit of harmony and how we can connect and collaborate in ways that we haven’t before rather than compete. When we do get to connect, collaborate, and resonate together, the attainment of a definite purpose is so much easier.
What do you want to achieve?
What’s your purpose?
Are you hanging around people who are holding you back in a stale stagnant mindset?
Are you around people in a growth mindset who are ready to change, facilitate, and move forward with you?
What are the biggest things you have gotten out of being in a mastermind or group? From not being alone in clinical practice?
- a sense of belonging
- a sense of support
- accountability and keeping on track
- clarity
Accountability is a big one. It’s easy to think, “I might not do that today, I might wait until next month or next year.” But it’s really different when there’s a whole bunch of like-minded people around you who are doing the same thing with their clients.
Get Clarity
Clarity is another great result of a mastermind. Sometimes when you’re a little bit too close to things, they don’t really make sense. But when you’ve got another set of eyes on it, it can really help bring things into focus.
We all have a tendency to get ourselves clouded with our own perspectives, our past history, blocks, and stories. But when there’s a collective of minds together, you can get laser focused and out of the grey area.
So when you are in a position where you don’t know what you don’t know and you can’t figure out what you’re doing wrong, being surrounded by people who have stories and ideas to spark off inspiration is like having 12 different muses all in the same spot!
This is something we’ll be doing on a 10X level at NatEx with all of the praccies vibing off one another, which is super cool, I cannot wait!
Find The Right People
The first step to achieve this is to create awareness about whether or not you are surrounded by people who give you a growth mindset, clarity, and accountability in a beautiful, lovely, safe space.
Are you surrounded by people who give you inspiration or are you surrounded by people who are giving you perspiration?
Are you surrounding yourself with an environment of people who are going to help you grow and become the extraordinary potential of the practitioner that you are in its fullest essence?
Or do the people you are surrounding yourself with not “get?”
I see this all the time with clients in practice. People who surround themselves with like-minded people – pooling their choices not to drink coke, and not to eat pie for breakfast. There are people who are pursuing their own decisions about getting up and going for a run in the morning.
To make that kind of shift and change, we need to be surrounded by either an environment or by people who are going to support our growth. That’s why we get accountability buddies, and a mastermind is the next level of that.
Surround Yourself with a Like-Minded People
Surrounding yourself with minds other than your own really helps project you forward into the future you see for yourself.
Step one is having the awareness of whether the people around you are tiring you or inspiring you.
Step two is if you don’t have people inspiring you, where can you find them?
It’s great to have us here online at the Natupreneur Hub but what we’ve been experiencing here in this mastermind, and what you’ll experience at NatEx, is that there is an energy and a synergy that happens when you are together in person.
So, wherever you are – can you scope out a business orientated networking group?
A practitioner orientated group is great, too, but finding a business orientated group helps with the growth of your business, your mindset, and the ability to connect with more people with your message will help to move you forward.
Find Places In the World To Go
This was a game-changer for me. A couple of years ago, I tried to find events happening in other places in the world to go to, where my people were. I saw a lot of people going to America for different things for their business, going out of their way to be surrounded by growth mindset types. But I didn’t really vibe with gathering of thousands and thousands of people to get momentum.
Instead, I aligned with being on tropical islands connecting with like-minded people who are entrepreneurs. When I first went to Awesomeness Fest, that was my game changer.
The Natupreneur Experience
If you are looking to be with other practitioners who are like-minded, super excited about changing the way we do business and practice and working for a definite purpose of:
- connecting with clients
- connecting with more people
- helping more people
- a rewarding experience not only for them but for you and your dreams, goals, visions and plans for your family and yourself
Then yes – here’s the plug coming – you should come to Natupreneur Experience!
It’s happening next month which is coming up fast, but you still have time to get your tickets. It’s being held on the Gold Coast which is an amazing environment.
We’ve got incredible speakers lined up who will be talking about all of this stuff. It’s basically a mastermind of speakers there to talk to the mastermind of practitioners.
Imagine what can be created from that synergistic harmony that Napoleon Hill talks about! You don’t want to miss out on this, so get on it and get your tickets.
Take Action
Take this moment to check what’s happening in your environment now. You might not be living up to your full potential based on the people you hang around with or the environment you are in. The opportunity is here to 10X your business by being surrounded by the right people. Want help finding direction and a mastermind you can thrive in? Check out my mastermind programs.
I hope this has been helpful for you. If it has or if you know someone else who would be helped, please share.
