Build Trusting Relationships and Accomplish More!

The coaching-focused Mastermind Group in the Upper Valley of Vermont / New Hampshire will begin a new text on September 7th, 2010 that will help you expand your network, gain support and reach your goals.

The group, in collaboration with Borders Books, meets each Tuesday at 10:00 am in West Lebanon, NH. The new text, "Who's Got Your Back", by Keith Ferrazzi, provides an executable strategy for your most important plans without costing your sanity.

Many of us are caught up in the day-to-day struggle between work and family and fun and wellness. How do you do keeping yourself balanced? How do you keep yourself grounded? How do you keep yourself focused? How do you insure you reach your goals in a focused but mindful way? Ferrazzi's book explains a nine-step approach to building what he calls lifeline relationships.

With "Who's Got Your Back" you will learn to create meaningful and trusting relationships well beyond your success. You will benefit from reading this book regardless of whether you engage the Mastermind Process.

If you are like most people, however, just read books and don't engage them fully. Coaching brings the book to life. Through masterminding this book won't be another piece of information but will become an actionable strategy you can depend on being accountable to.

If you live near the West Lebanon, NH / White River Junction, VT area -- you owe it to yourself to check out the power of Masterminding.

"Who's Got Your Back" shows us that relationships are the key to our success in business. You will learn the kinds of relationships that really make a difference. Ferrazzi also shows us how to get further in setting your goals and staying more powerful in your career.

The Mastermind Group works through each book slowly - one text about every three months - so participants can easily keep up with the reading.

Have you read this book? Do you think it is as impactful as Ferrazzi's last book, "Never Eat Alone" (which we also covered in the Mastermind Group).

Who are you accountable to, really?

Many people seek a personal life coach or business coach because of the "accountability" factor:  they want someone to note their goals, purpose, [healthy] habits and other aspirations they are working toward and monitor their progress toward these aspirations.

"What do you want me to do if you get behind on your goals?" is a question I ask all my clients when we start out.  "Give me a kick in the pants" was one response.  This push me request happens more often than not.

I do honor this request and I do push clients I work with who want this.  But at some point I broach the question, usually as an inquiry or thinking assignment, "Why do you need someone to hold you accountable?'  This is provocative question for most people and one not easily answered.

• Do you need someone to hold you accountable to your goals, purpose, [healthy] habits and other aspirations?
• What would you need to change in order for you to be accountable to you?  How would you need to restructure your life for this level of internal accountability to happen with automatic ease each time you set your mind to a new achievement?
• How much more effective would you be if you could increase internal accountability?

Don't wait!  Take action today toward real accountability to the only person who really matters:  you.
