View from the Summit

Do you believe that the company you keep has an impact on your success?

In View From the Top, Aaron Walker stresses the importance of seeking out advisors and mentors and surrounding yourself with competent qualified professionals. He tells readers that “experts won’t just come to you offering assistance. You must be proactive in education and always take the initiative to learn more.” One element of learning more is spending time with and asking questions of people who have already experienced the type of success for which you are striving. Another element is to read books and discuss them in depth with a group of people that are also focused on advancing their education.

Recently I had the privilege of spending the weekend with around 50 other men in the Nashville area.  Unlike most gatherings of men, this one wasn’t focused on sports and booze.  This one focused on us helping each other become more authentic as men. 

To frame the event a bit more, there are 70 of us that belong to Aaron Walker’s “Iron Sharpens Iron” Mastermind Community.  We are broken down into groups of ten, who meet on a weekly basis.  Our discussions focus on helping each other with our personal, professional, and business growth.  Over time we have come to know each other very well; and, the proverbial curtains have come down.  It’s raw.  It’s real. And it’s transformational building a connection with ten other men.  When you let down your guard and open up to them, they’re able to rebuild you into someone that you never would have imagined you could be.

Masterminds are a way to become better as a person if you are willing to invest and commit to the proposition of the idea. If you want to go further, push yourself then a Mastermind will be for you.

Have you ever wondered what your life would look like if you were surrounded by brilliant individuals who always had your best interests at heart?
