How Will I Know I’m Ready to Join a Mastermind?
Are you ready to grow your business and your team?
Personal growth can be scary for a lot of people. But without personal growth, it’s virtually impossible to have business growth. So are you willing to do the self-reflection, then do what it takes to make your business grow, including hiring help?
Do you have time in your calendar to commit to a mastermind?
In order for a mastermind group to work, you have to show up. You’re not just there to receive but to give in equal measure. Do you have the time to commit each week for meetings and catch-ups?
Can you afford the cost of the mastermind?
The cost of a mastermind, even an affordable one like the Business Besties Mastermind, can initially come as a shock. As a new business owner, it will stretch your budget a bit. But making that investment is a vote for your own success. It’s like saying, “I’ve got what it takes and I’m going to do this.” Are you ready to make that investment?
Are you open to feedback and willing to learn?
If you come into a mastermind group very resistant to change, it won’t help your business move forward. So are you approaching the experience with an open mind and willing to make changes in your business?
Are you willing and able to take action and try new solutions?
One of the best parts of a mastermind group is building a network of supportive people who can help you generate ideas. But those ideas can only benefit your business if act on them. You don’t have to implement every idea. But are you willing to hear other people’s suggestions and see if they will work for your business?
Are you aligned with our core values?
Pam and I have certain values that we live by, which guide our businesses. These values are also the foundation for the culture we want to build in the Business Besties Mastermind. We believe in honesty, communication, integrity, and a growth mindset. For us, business is not about success at any cost but about building a life that makes you proud and happy and that supports family and personal relationships. Do your core values align with ours?
Do you have a long-term vision for your business?
Without a long-term vision, it’s easy to quit because you don’t have that deep “why” or a sense of purpose. That’s why we want people to have a vision of where they want to go, even if there’s twists and turns, and what they want out of this group coming in. Do you have a long-term vision for your business?
