3 Benefits of a Mastermind Group You May Not Have Considered

​There’s a saying that it takes a village to raise a child, but what we hear less often is that the same goes for successfully starting and growing a business. Too often entrepreneurs feel like they have to do everything themselves - like they should have all the answers. But the truth is no one has all the answers, and not only can coaching open up your mind to new ideas and possibilities for your business, but the benefits of a mastermind group led by a coach can help you take your business to a whole new level. In addition to getting the benefit of the coach’s expertise, you also get to take advantage of the knowledge and experience of all the other entrepreneurs in the mastermind group.

​If you’ve been thinking about joining a mastermind group or a group coaching program, but you’re not sure it’s the right move for you, let’s take a look at some of the benefits of a mastermind group.

​A Mastermind Group Gives You Access to New Perspectives

​So often the solution is right in front of us, but we can’t see it because we’re too deeply immersed in the problem. Even people who work in a group setting often experience this problem because everyone in the group has started to think about the same things in the same ways, which blocks creativity and can prevent you from finding the solution to the problem.

​One of the benefits of a mastermind group is that it gives you an opportunity to talk through your problem with a whole new group of people, each of whom brings a different perspective to the problem. The more perspectives you can bring to a problem, the more likely you are to find the best solution.

​A Mastermind Group Provides Camaraderie

​Being an entrepreneur can be lonely because anyone who’s not an entrepreneur doesn’t really understand what it’s like. If your friends and family think you sit around in your pajamas watching TV all day, it can help to have a safe space to vent about your frustrations with a group of people who have been there and done that.

​A Mastermind Group Provides a Chance to Help Other Entrepreneurs

​In addition to gaining outside perspectives from other entrepreneurs, another one of the benefits of a mastermind group is that it gives you the chance to give them your thoughts on their problems. Not only does this help build a sense of camaraderie among the group, but it can also help provide you with a sense of connection and fulfillment when you know you’re helping your fellow entrepreneurs build and maintain successful businesses.

​While I love working with my private clients one on one, I also love our group coaching calls because I love the camaraderie and the sense of community it builds. It is a coaching call, so I do most of the talking when answering questions, but everyone is free to participate in the chat and I always love seeing the creative solutions other people come up with for their fellow entrepreneurs’ problems. Many times someone will bring up an issue or a solution I wouldn’t have thought of, so if you think group coaching might be just what you need, you can find out more about everything that’s included in my group coaching program here.
