I know many of you are reading other people's ezines and promotions and following other coaches and mentors….as you should; but I'm hearing that you're confused. With all the coaching groups and mastermind options out there right now, a lot of the 2010- 2011 groups are now forming…not only mine but a couple of my mentors', other coaches like me and more; you're confused as to which one is right for you? Which one should you join, which mentor is the best fit or is a mastermind right for you in the first place? I know they are a big investment, not only in yourself but in the direction of your business too so you want to make the RIGHT DECISION on which one to join, correct?

Ok so let's talk about and compare the Mastermind Groups and High End Coaching Programs that are out there, that you're seeing…. Mind you I'm doing this to show you that I care enough about you to lay it all out on the table; I truly want to EDUCATE YOU on what you're seeing out there and what the differences are and what to look for in choosing a program so it ends up being what you truly need in the coming year, not something way ahead of you or maybe even behind where you are….let's compare….

** NOTE ** If you're not interested in a mastermind program for yourself for next year, why not? It's the most amazing way to fast-forward your progress, success and income this year.

First of all, WHY should you want to join a Mastermind group or coaching program? It's simple really and most of us who've been in them would say it was the best thing we EVER did in our business (and that's the truth).

Being in a Mastermind Group can give you:

• An influx of new ideas, strategies and fresh perspectives for your business. Sure you can come up with plenty of ideas on your own but will you know which ones to act on, spend money on or how to turn those ideas into big money pay days all on your own? Having a focused group of entrepreneurs and a lead mentor who can see bigger visions for you, additional opportunities and wider possibilities helps you put your big ideas into reality much faster and with more surety.

• Motivation and positive powerful thinking. The greatest challenge a business owner may face is staying positive and motivated on a day to day or month to month basis. We need to surround ourselves with highly motivated, energized and positive BIG thinking like-minded entrepreneurs constantly or we can easily lose steam. What happens when you lose steam? You don't make a lot of sales right? You don't attract a lot of clients easily do you? Instead, working with and interacting with your Mastermind group and lead mentor on a regular basis can clear those negative thoughts and replace them with positive, motivating, inspired and passionate thoughts and actions.

• Accountability and responsibility. One of the most difficult things for many of us entrepreneurs is to actually 'get stuff done'. We do have many ideas like I mentioned but we don't always know how to put them into money-making plans, products, programs, etc. and even if we KNEW HOW to get them implemented, we have no time so they still don't get done, am I right? Your Mastermind group can help hold you accountable to your goals and project timelines plus provide a certain level of competition that will motivate many entrepreneurs to make sure they had their 'thing' done before coming to the next meeting.

A big leap in time. In an era where time is money, we have to learn double the things in half the time. By connecting with peers and a lead mentor in a Mastermind group who have similar experiences, you tap, learn and benefit from others' input. Especially learning from a Mentor who has been where you are and is now leaps ahead of you, they are where you want to be; it makes sense to learn what to do and NOT to do directly from someone who's been there, made mistakes and then had successes who can show you the right path for you. This greatly shortens your learning curve by a huge margin.
