I wanted to quickly share with you an article I read in the NY times today about what pulls high-level athletes forward (because it relates to your business success as well!)
Kevin Hanson, who started a team of elite runners, says American runners’ performances declined in the 1990’s, when they started training on their own, whereas “the countries whose distance runners were the best- all emphasized training in groups”- in addition to training with a knowledgeable coach.
Further, Ms. Kara Groucher who had the fastest time ever for an American woman running her first marathan, says “I think it’s possible to train on your own, but I do think it’s much better in a group. You see success in each other” (Gina Kolata, NY Times, E10, 9-17-09).
The same applies in our world of coaches, experts, consultants or solo entrepreneurs-
The RESULTS of being pulled forward by the COMBINATION of a group of like-minded, motivated people AND a masterful coach are MIRACULOUS compared to what you can do on your own.
I’ve experienced these results, myself, and I am a firm believer in the transformative power of platinum coaching groups that combine private coaching AND masterminding with other ambitious entrepreneurs.

Point taken, Bria. But how do you recommend finding the right coach/group for a given enterprise/individual? There’s a literal forest out there…how is one to choose the right tree without wasting resources in the search?

Hi Michael,
Great question! I recommend you do a bit of research, no way around that- look for a skilled mentor who shares similar values and is where you want to be. Then, trust your instinct. In my upcoming free Sept 22 teleclass- I share my values and a lot of rich content about how you can add 6-figures to your business, so you can enjoy freedom and lifestyle luxury. I’d love to “see” you there http://www.briasimpson.com/makremoremoney.html.

That’s very interesting. I know for a fact that with a combination of self-will and the encouragement of whom you trust, will make a miraculous result. Thanks for sharing this!
