I can think of a lot of things I would like to do besides going to a live networking event, but there is a backstory here.
A few years ago, after turning around five fitness businesses, I was bored so I joined a mastermind group to find my next business challenge.
I was not expecting what happened next.
This Mastermind group was tough.
They had rules and if you did not perform, you were booted out of the group.
Our expectation was to meet with ten business owners a week in our job search.
I made it through two weeks with my appointments, and was literally getting sick to my stomach.
Then I realized what was going on.
The next time we met, when it was my time to report to the group, I made an announcement: I am unemployable!
This was a bit of shock to the group, and the questions started flying.
I was tired of turning around other people’s businesses and It was time to do my own thing.
This was a powerful group and I needed their support.
As the shock settled in, I proposed that I would make 100 cold calls a week to build my business and I would be accountable to the group each week, if they would let me remain part of the group.
To my relief, they agreed. I knew I needed the accountability and association with these power players.
I am leaving out a lot of details, but 12 weeks later I had made my 1200 calls and the following year I made a six figure income working 20 hours a week.
Without the mastermind, I can’t imagine what I would be doing today.
I have been invited back many times to share my story with the group.
The group has continued to meet, except during the pandemic, and since then they have only met virtually.
Today we are all meeting in a live setting for the first time in years.
Few of the original members will be there, in their places will be all new faces.
Meeting new people in a networking group is never fun. I know I am not alone when I say I will be way out of my comfort zone, but you never know where it will take you.
Of course, I will be sharing the new 6 Figure Trainers MasterMind program with them, and how we are building out the most respected fitness business mentoring program in the country.
More details will follow in the next few weeks, but if you would like to jump on a call with me to explore all of your options, schedule a time on my calendar.
Remember, you only get results when you take action on your ideas!
