Missed my self-imposed deadline of posting every Monday as I was in Baltimore the first 3 days of this week at the Glazer-Kennedy Peak Performers meeting.  I just joined this group in April and this was the first “event” since then.

Wow!  Being in a room for that long with a group of proven entrepreneurs, many of whom have very successful businesses, makes one realize just how differently successful entrepreneurs think from the many wannabees and from those who want to work for someone else.  It’s not that the latter is bad…no way, but I’ve found over the years that it’s our thinking that separates us.

I won’t get into all the content that was delivered from the likes of Bill Glazer and Lee Milteer, among others, but the part I really enjoy is the interaction with other people at the tables, at breaks, and then at meals.  None of us has all the answers (reminds me of the definition I once heard of a fool – a legal defendant who hires himself as his own counsel); I have gleaned much insight in the past several years from various mastermind groups, but interacting at this level is a little different.

Bottom line: I’ve recommitted to investing in myself… my professional education, participation in high level mastermind groups, and then just doing the hard work it takes.  And to encourage those with whom I come into contact to do the same.  I don’t want to be in the same place next year because my thinking hasn’t changed and grown.  How about you?
