Is an Online Mastermind Group as Valuable as One That Meets in Person?

Absolutely! Remember how one of the benefits of joining a Mastermind group was the expansion of your network? Well, you make it even wider if you’re open to a Mastermind online.

Whether you live in New York City or on a farm in rural Wisconsin, you’ll find people valuable to your network who live many miles away. If you limit your Mastermind group to only those who live within a reasonable driving distance, you’ll severely limit who you can learn from.

Online groups also allow for a tremendous amount of flexibility, which increases commitment. You’ll remove barriers such as agreeing on a place to meet and dealing with traffic.

When you meet online, members:

💻 Are more likely to arrive on time.
💻 Can join from wherever is most convenient for them, even when they’re traveling.
💻 Don’t have to include travel time on their calendar, which saves time.
💻 Can watch a recording of the session if they have to miss it.

With high-quality video conferencing technology like Zoom, Google Hangouts, and Skype, there’s no reason a virtual group can’t be just as beneficial as an in-person one.

I have to admit. The jury is still out on this. But if anything the past 12 months have taught us, is that we are better when we adapt and pivot to these fast-changing times.

Tell me, do you have a preference? Virtual or in person?
