Have you noticed, in gyms, when guys are lifting really heavy weights, they ask someone, often a perfect stranger, to spot them? How many times have you seen a woman tap someone to help them? Hardly ever!
Why? Because we seldom lift very heavy weights; we don’t want to bother anyone; and we’re determined to do it alone.
But financial success requires you to lift heavier weights in order to build up your confidence, strengthen your resolve and climb to greater heights.
For this, we need our spotters, people we trust to have our backs, push us when the going gets tough, or high-five us when we finally lift that heavier weight.
Almost 12 years ago, inspired by my friend Suzy Carroll, 5 women gathered in my living room and held our first Spotter’s Group Meeting. We’ve been meeting monthly ever since.
Here’s how it works: Each person takes her turn, sharing what’s on her mind, be it a troublesome situation or a thrilling victory. The others offer loving support, candid feedback, often relating their own similar experiences.
Our meetings usually last about two hours. We don’t leave without setting another date when we’re all available. Not an easy task for busy women, but we’ve made it work. Each one of us has grown considerably.
I highly recommend forming your own Spotters Group…but only if you’re ready to lift heavier weights!
Have you thought about who’s in your corner when it comes to support? How could you leverage that support? Leave me a comment below.
