Sweet Words | from the Sweet Spot Community

  • “My Mastermind group is great at getting me to see ‘what can be’ if self-imposed limitations are eliminated. With my group’s support, I was able to elevate my business — and my life — to another level. What’s more, the bonds formed with members of my group are still strong today, over a decade later.

Menu of Helps

Here are the kinds of juicy, propellant support available to you in your Mastermind group:

  • Generate alternatives, bright ideas for your next action steps, input for how to take what didn’t work and tweak it so it does.

  • A group ‘whoo-hoo’ for when you’ve reached a goal and/or overcome an obstacle.

  • Contacts, connections, links. Ex: who to call, what to read, where to find something.

  • An advanced skill, indeed!

  • Share the benefit of your professional or amateur skill with a fellow member — for trade, for pay, whatever works.

  • Meet virtually to get your homework done; hold space and provide soft accountability for each other.

  • Meet 1:1 to connect and learn more about one another personally and professionally.

  • Pair up with another member to share goal steps, check-ins, and follow-ups; this can be the same pairing each time, or you can rotate buddies.

  • Periodic check-ins to give focused encouragement.

  • Sometimes, we need a little targeted validation and ‘yes, you can’ to go for what we want.

  • Practice what you’ll say or do in a challenging conversation or situation.

  • Timed 1-minute ‘power-gripe’ to clear the decks so you can shift out of stuck.

  • Call schedule (à la Meal Train) for a member faced with a crisis; check-ins before/after a difficult appointment; virtual tea date (or wine date) after a ‘big reach’ action step.

  • Get help with:

    • Writing an affirmation

    • Setting a goal

    • Breaking down a goal into smaller tasks

    • Clarifying an intention

    • Website or sales page review/feedback

    • Et cetera, ad infinitum.

“Over the past year, I’d felt overwhelmed by the details of running my business. Now, I feel more joyfully connected to my own rhythms and inspirations which has helped me navigate everything from a calmer, clearer place.
