First Day Jitters
In the beginning or Day 1.
Last week, I kicked off another; what appears to be a really strong Masterminds and Mentor group! The anticipation of what to expect with a new group of makes me both excited and nervous as we start out.
It excites me to think that soon all new ideas and possibilities will be shared and discussed. New friendships will be formed. Accountabilities will be held. Business as they know it; will change. That really can jazz me up because quite frankly and selfishly, I know how I will hugely benefit from the experience of others.
Occasionally I wonder about whether or not there will be conflict; personality and/or other; and whether or not I am equipped to handle the unknown. Fortunately for me, I tend to look at conflict as an opportunity and a motivator. I believe that as adults and as business owners, we have to respect that there are others out there who are and think differently than we do and that it is imperative to embrace as an opportunity for ourselves and our business. The question is whether or not others would view conflict the same way and if not, are flexible or not to work through the issues. Stimulating thought.
My challenge from the beginning of day 1 is to create a sense of excitement about pursuing and taking to the next level the dream that each person presents. And to take each issue or barrier and turn it in to an action item that will have a positive and lasting result. And lastly, to share skills and tricks of the trade that the participants can utilize and implement on their own time and on a going forward basis. Day one sets the stage for day two. And so on and so on.
This second group of masterminds and mentors is a great group and we are going to have some serious fun while we work! Who says work can’t be fun?
How Masterminds and Mentors Began
Let’s face it. Men are different from women. And owning, managing and operating a business is no different.
Having spent many hours dedicated to attending various business networking groups and meeting with other like-minded women; I realized there is a missing link. I have spent countless hours talking with others about their business, countless hours talking about my business and at the end of the day… retreat to the office loaded with new contacts and ideas only to find myself overwhelmed and/or have no idea how to go about implementing all the thoughts and ideas.
Lots of words, little or no action – missing link!
Frustrated with yet another networking group, I returned home one night and with a friend began expressing my thoughts out loud. (It is amazing the ideas that can be borne by expressing thoughts out loud) My spoken words revealed to me that the missing piece to so many of the efforts I put out there can be found through collaboration, idea generating and problem solving. I pulled all of the skills and techniques that I learned out from my past life and brought them face to face with me right then and there. The thoughts kept pouring out of me.
As a trained facilitator, I could take other like minded women through the same processes I learned years ago. I will start with women. (Consider a man’s group later.) Limit the group size in an effort to form a trusting and respectful relationship; and long enough for the group to maximize on opportunities. The potential for others just like me to make a direct and significant impact to their bottom line is out there just waiting to happen! I can facilitate a group of great minds through a process of discovery and application; and then these same great minds mentor each other holding ourselves and others accountable for our word. Our mentality will be similar to a board of directors. WHAT A CONCEPT! Inspired by my friend with her spoken words (once I let her have time to say something that is!) why don’t you do it?
And that is how the business was borne.
The fact that Masterminds and Mentors domain was available was confirmation to move forward. The other confirmation was how quickly and how beautifully another dear friend of mine created the exciting logo for Masterminds and mentors. I love it!
The first group gelled quickly; to a person experiencing some phenomenal results. Each meeting we leave feeling high with excitement and can’t wait to get together the next time. Some fear also sets in following the meeting, typically surrounding how many terrific opportunities there are to work. Fear of the unknown is a natural reaction for us to feel and quite frankly; a welcome motivator. More on this group of fabulous women down the line.
Until then, men….get ready. We will have something for you too!
