Yes small world! Early in my business development I was encouraged during a business class to get an accountability partner. It makes all the difference in the world to have a bunch of supportive, nonjudgmental people who are going through the same you are growing next to you (matching tattoos are optional). I am located in Canada and looking forward to get connected with all people who are freelancers or planning to become ones. Met an old friend for a cuppa over the holidays and through our chat I remembered reading about Mastermind groups, we’ve agreed to get working on this for ourselves and report back by end of Jan, 2015 and I’m helping him with social media work (can’t believe I know enough to be able to do that), that was a productive cup of tea! So excited for you ladies- connect with Veronica also below, she is lovely! But I don’t think you need to really put the focus on that. You are wonderful. You need to be clear in advance as it helps you make the right choice 1st time around. Love reading about masterminding, and would like to join a group. Usually your friends & family don’t quite understand your business, and as much as they may try to be supportive, they often can’t give you the advice or motivation you need in everyday business. Learn the secret of the world’s most successful people 1. I jumped on the opportunity. Was delighted to come across the site and this post. Thank you so much for your awesome posts!! Freelancer Spotlight: Nikki Elledge Brown. Eccountability. Great idea! Shoot me an email and let’s chat. Hi Leah, I am keen to join / set up a Mastermind Group (April 2015) for people creating online businesses / blogging. In our words, a Mastermind group consists of a small group of people who want to grow in some capacity at an accelerated rate. To overcome procrastination and lack of focus we all need some form of accountability. I actually have two businesses 1) online wedding invitations 2) freelance web designer. Hi Jamie (first off I’m not sure when this was posted but what the hey, I’m here Jan, 2015) I’m in a career change, from equine science to digital, so if you are still on for setting up a group or have space, please let me know. Yes! If not, start researching in some of the places I mentioned above! Thanks bunches for mentioning my site – I discovered that you did through my analytics. I’m a SAHM and Freelancer in a rural community 2300 miles from where I grew up (aka lonely). Small business owners are often overwhelmed with to-do lists and need impartial advice to get the right support to help them achieve their goals. Email me if you are interested- meytzar@gmail.com. So just see where it takes you and if you feel like having one for both types of models would be helpful, then do it! Of course! Users … I’m in the gray area of transitioning from working in a digital marketing agency to forming my own consultancy practice. Come say hi on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Awesome Elle! I’m excited!! It’s like having great friends who have similar goals and are willing to hold you accountable to what you say you’ll do. It seems like a Mastermind group would keep me accountable and help me not back out and return to a “comfortable” corporate life. I’m in Ireland so not sure how timezones work out. Accountability sales ideas on keeping existing clients and getting more. What areas do you want to improve or need help with? Setting up your own mastermind with a group of friends/colleagues is a great start, but joining paid masterminds can give you a next level of support an accountability. As you know I’m currently working on my freelance website design business that will be ready to launch in the new year – 2014 is going to be a fantastic year! Awesome- thanks for the feedback and yes, get hooked up with Stef. Talk to your local organizations.
