Accelerate your growth and build a powerful network.
Joining a mastermind group can be the key to growing your business. They offer peer support, an opportunity to exchange ideas and much needed accountability. They can also be a complete waste of time and money if you choose the wrong group.
And with some of them costing over one hundred thousand dollars per year, you’ll definitely want to do some digging before making the commitment. So before you join a mastermind group, here are a few things to keep in mind.
Get clear on your goals. This will help you identify which groups can help you make progress.
Establish a budget. Based on your goal, how much are you willing to pay to achieve it?
Do your research. I suggest asking your personal and professional network first but you should look outside of your circle too.
Do the work. Once you join, block off time to actively participate in the group and complete any related activities.
Need some help finding the right mastermind? You’re in luck. I’ve compiled a list of seven masterminds that have provided measurable results to their community.

Next steps
Joining a mastermind group can accelerate the growth of business but it’s not a magic bullet. But, to make the most out of the opportunity – and your investment – you have to put in work.
Once you join, block off time to participate in the group and complete any related activities. As a bonus, aim to chat with a new group member every week. This will allow you to make deeper connections and provide support to your community.
