This Week's Tips - 28 March 2014

Last week I read a great newsletter by Madalyn Sklar of gogirlsmusic.com and wanted to share a bit of what she had to say:

"I want to talk about something I think is important: Accountability

Accountability is defined as:
An obligation or willingness to accept responsibility or to account for one's actions

I know. It's a scary word to most people. It is for me too. That is why years ago I started the GoGirls Elite Mastermind Group. If you don't know what a mastermind is, click here for details. And below is the definition of mastermind group.

Mastermind Group: A small group that you meet with for the purpose of reinforcing growth and success while offering support to one another; a group that has been identified and set aside to concentrate specifically on growth and manifesting success.

I'm a big believer in two heads are better than one. That is the whole basis for mastermind. Working together in small groups to elevate each other to new heights. It's empowering. It's enlightening. It's amazing! I decided back in September that I would restart the GoGirls Mastermind. It has been nothing short of magical. The best part about it is accountability. Doing what you say you are going to do. It's one thing to say it. But to then do it and have others cheering you on. Well that is a completely different thing because it gets you to do it.

Think about what is important for you to accomplish right now. What is holding you back? What if you surrounded yourself with like-minded people? I think you would reach your goals faster. That is what mastermind does."


I hope you enjoyed Madalyn's thoughts on accountability as much as I did. Visit her blog for some great insights about the music business, social media and more!  http://www.madalynsklar.com/.
