connectedNeedless to say, I am a bit of a mastermind junkie! I have realized that my true power is in bringing a collective mindset together to create growth and creativity. One of the masterminds I run is actually here at my home. It’s called Women, Wine, and Wisdom. It’s a monthly networking mixer, with a great class of wine! And part of the evening I pose a question in the spirit of mastermind. Each woman answers openly, and honestly, and we all learn together.

My recent mastermind question really showed the power of the spirit of harmony in a collective mindset. The question was: “what has been taxing on you spiritually or emotionally that you need to let go of?” Many of the answers were related to running our businesses as entrepreneurs; several answers were about personal relationships, some about how our lives have changed as we’ve aged, others about our own self-worth and value. The sharing alone was powerful.

Interestingly, before this event was I was working with my COMPEL. Speak. Sell. MasterMind clients. I was teaching Step Four in the system: Brand Sales. We were talking about the importance of being connected yet still detached from the outcome in the sales process.

As Women, Wine and Women unfolded that night, I realized that the same mindset was important and all of the answers I was hearing. So I shared with the group the concept of “connected yet still detached”.

Honestly it was quite mind blowing for all of us how that theme kept coming up as different women shared! We were all learning that there are places where we are overly connected and that is stopping us from getting to the next place that we want to be.

“Connected yet still detached” is that something you might need to do with something that’s taxing on you spiritually or emotionally?
