Mastermind groups are a waste of time in growing your life coaching business<\/a><\/strong>?\u00a0 Sound sacrilegious?\u00a0 Sure, but they are one of the most common pitfalls people fall into at one point or another during their life coaching career<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0 Here\u2019s why.\u00a0 A bunch of coaches sit around, usually on the phone, for an hour or so every week and talk about their life coaching business<\/strong>es.\u00a0 They support each other in their life coaching career<\/strong> goals.\u00a0 And over the course of the year it amounts to over 40 hours of time!<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a week of full time work that you could have been using to develop your life coaching business<\/strong> or work toward taking your life coaching career<\/strong> to the next level.\u00a0 But you may be thinking, mastermind groups talk about how to do that.<\/p>\n

Mastermind Groups Can Only Affect Your Life Coaching Business if You Take Action<\/h3>\n

There are two reasons why mastermind mind groups won\u2019t help you with your life coaching career<\/span> or your life coaching business<\/span>.\u00a0 The first is that most don\u2019t show up.\u00a0 Even if they do, they show up passively.\u00a0 As in ready to take in information, speak their opinion if they feel like it, or they don\u2019t take action after the call.\u00a0 They expect benefits just by being on a mastermind group.<\/p>\n

To Make Use of Mastermind Groups in Your Life Coaching Career You Must be Held Accountable<\/h3>\n

The second reason why most people\u2019s don\u2019t see benefits in their life coaching career<\/span> or life coaching business<\/span> from mastermind groups is that everyone shows up trying to be supportive.\u00a0 Which is fine to a point.\u00a0 But where is the accountability if no one is ready to ask the tough questions?\u00a0 Is everyone else being \u2018polite\u2019 by letting others slide so that they will have the same grace?<\/p>\n

If you really want to take your life coaching business to the next level, avoid these common pitfalls.\u00a0 If you\u2019re already a part of a mastermind group and see this happening, don\u2019t look for a new group.\u00a0 Step up and become a leader.\u00a0 Take a stand for the people in your mastermind to make something happen.\u00a0 It\u2019s only by expanding your comfort zone that there is a chance to take your life coaching career to the next level.<\/p>\n
