Are You in Transition?
Posted by themagic in Business Mastermind, Current Economy, Mastermind Groups, Uncategorized on February 26th, 2009
The world is full of transition these days, especially with the current economy. I was speaking with an entrepreneur the other day who had contacted me about “bouncing around some business ideas”. I mentioned the fact that Mastermind Groups would be a great place for him at this time. He replied that he was in the midst of changing his business strategy and focusing on a different niche and that perhaps the group would be better for him at some time in the future. WAIT A MINUTE - NOW IS THE TIME to join a business mastermind!!!
If you are in transition, have had a downturn in your business, had to reorganize and/or refocus, get into a group because it will help you make the transition faster. You will have the input of others, the ideas, the resources and accountability. You will be more productive, less overwhelmed and reach your goals faster.
Kick Butt #*!%

When we first started working on setting up Mastermind Groups, I wanted to have two groups:
The Kick Butt Club (for the committed)
The Kick Butt & Take Names Club (for the SUPER committed)
The responses to the names were funny. They ranged from “I love it!” to “What does ‘take names” mean?” to “People might be offended.”
There’s a lot happening out there in this current economy or what we might call “the new normal”. Many people are feeling like so much is happening to them. My question is, “What if we take a different stand and rather than feeling run down and defeated, we take the position of ‘happening to things’? ” In other words let’s say, “I don’t sit around and let things happen to me, I happen to things!” This is turning it around, rising above, refusing to settle and finding ways to suceed and thrive in the new normal.
Now, with that said, we will have to let go of some old paradigms. The way we used to do business isn’t always viable right now. It’s time to find new ways of connecting, marketing, pricing and serving our markets. A Mastermind Group is the key doing just that with the support of others, their ideas, energy and encouragement vs. trying to figure it all out in a vacuum.
A couple of days ago, I received this wonderful email from www.tut.com called “A Note from the Universe”. I love these emails and especially loved this one because it said….
“There were a lot of reasons you chose to come to earth, Nancy, and I am super happy to tell you that not one of them was to master being poor, lonely or sick.
“You came to “kick butt, ” Nancy….
The Universe
So, now I know that at least somebody else is thinking about kicking butt! How about you? I would really love to have your feedback and thoughts on this post and on calling Mastermind Groups “Kick Butt” Clubs! Leave your comments below….
