Mastermind Group - Why do you need to be in one ?

Johan Speaking Academy just celebrated its 3rd anniversary. Our signature program is our Kids Public Speaking classes which is now in 14 locations across Malaysia. In this 3rd anniversary, branches across Malaysia met up in our mastermind gathering.

Why do you need to be in a mastermind group ?

This is depending on your industry, try to be in a mastermind group around the location you stay, or get into your industry association. Why mastermind group ?

1) You can bounce off new ideas and share challenges

In our mastermind group, each branch of our Kids Public Speaking program share their challenges. When someone share their journey, we listen. This is very important. Then sometimes there is a light bulb which will light off ,

"Oh ! I never thought of that. Wow !"
"Is it ? That really happen ?"
"Hmmm...i can learn from this"

When my partners share their best practices in their branches, we learn from each other. Good ideas, we take and implement. Challenges they faced, we take that as lessons and learn.

2) You motivate each other

In business, we might have our ups and downs. In a mastermind group, we motivate each other. Giving positive words, words of encouragement is a battery energizer.

"You can do it ! "


3) You discuss moving forward plans

What is next for the industry ? Johan Speaking Academy has been pioneering the industry since 2014. We discuss new ideas, new products to launch, how to improve our delivery of our programs and many more.

Moving forward will motivate people cause we have a common goal to achieve. A goal to bless more kids with our programs.

Is Passion Enough ? Kids Public Speaking Ipoh ..

5 Hours ! That was how long it took me to drive from Ipoh to Kuala Lumpur on a Sunday evening.

"Thank you so much parents for your support. We could not have done it without your wonderful kids, all of them were so courageous and brave! Thank you once again." Class ended with 16 kids, cheering and were so happy. We took pictures together, some fun, some funny and some crazy.

Lunch time ! Visited a place with a BIG TREE, had some yong tau foo there and by 4pm, we are ready to go home. Waze shows 2 hrs 45 mins ! Wow ..

As we hit the highway, the traffic is so bad, cars were practically moving like 30km/hr. School holidays became like Chinese New Year holidays. We stopped at the rest area after 30 mins to had a nap. The workshop did wear us out, but with a full stomach under the hot sun, with air cond blowing into your eyes, hahahahaha...the eyes could not bear any longer. We continued the journey, then we heard. BEE BO BEE BO BEE BO, ambulans blazing through the emergency lane and overtook us in a second. I knew this is going to be a long journey, must be some accident in front.

Cars are not moving, cars are not moving, we decided to do a second pit stop. From Ipoh to KL, that 2 hours, i did not even stop, but now i am doing 2 pit stops in less than 1 hour. No choice, the cars aint moving at the highway. True enough, there were 2 minor accidents at different spots, together with school holidays made the journey more than doubled the time. At the end, it took us total 5 hours from 4pm to 9pm to reach home. Totally exhausted.

Is PASSION enough ?
Along the highway, i did a lot of thinking. Is passion enough in what you do ? Is passion really enough ? Circumstances will tear you down, the journey you are going through, will have obstacles, challenges, and unforseen situations.

The road to your dreams, your aspirations, may not be 2 years as you thought, it may be 5 years ! or even longer. You may be tired, but you must keep moving forward, if that is really want you want. To the goals that you MUST achieve, not SHOULD achieve. Know when to stop for a break and "fuel" up, as it is a marathon not a sprint.

And flipping through my phone's photo album at home, during dinner + supper that day, i realized, passion is just part of the equation. The PURPOSE of what you do, will drive you and propel you forward. And if you can find FULFILLMENT in your PURPOSE, in what you do and to be able to serve for a greater cause, this will be the best ! And on my phone are these pictures below ....
