Iron sharpens iron

I’m in a mastermind group with a group of disturbingly impressive professionals. Most of us knew each other beforehand, and a couple of us had even worked together on projects, but consistent biweekly meetings focused on mutual support are new territory for us as a group.

The conversations have hit their stride in recent weeks, and I’ve been reflecting on how the group only exists because the organizer reached out to a few of us and said, “Hey, do you want to do this?”
And so we did.

Some masterminds cost hundreds or thousands of dollars to be a part of, and have application processes with stringent requirements around business revenue. That makes sense for some groups, but not ours.

Our group is composed of people in one transition or another, questioning and answering, and perhaps most valuably, reflecting what we see in each other.

At any given time, we’re scattered across two countries and three time zones, navigating imperfect circumstances and life transitions. It’s a sacrifice and an opportunity to show up, and we’re all better for it.

You might benefit from a group like this as well, and you can be the reason that it happens.
