The Mastery Pyramid
As many of you probably already know, this week is the first week I will be posting just one blog per week. The lead in to today was pretty intense, but very fulfilling and I thought I would share with you some of the training I did in last week’s training call. I want to insure that you have a chance to gain mastery in the areas where you are challenged and become the successful entrepreneur you intend to be, so let’s go!
To start, I’d like you to get a piece of paper and draw a 2” tall triangle on it. Now go about ¼ of the way down from the tip of your triangle and draw a line so you have a small triangle at the top. Now, draw two more lines about equidistant from one another so that you have a total of four sections in your triangle.
Starting on the right side of your triangle draw an arrow pointing at the bottom of your pyramid/triangle shape and write the word ‘Mechanics’ next to the arrow. Go to the opposite side of your triangle and draw a second arrow pointing to the next level up on your triangle; here write the word ‘Mindset’. Go back to the side of your triangle where you wrote ‘Mechanics’ and here you’re going to draw a third arrow and write ‘Organization’.
And lastly, draw one last arrow at the top of your triangle on the same side as the word ‘Mindset’ and here write the word ‘Expertise’.
You should have a triangle with four sections each labeled (from the top) with arrow and the words Expertise, Organization, Mindset and Mechanics. We’re going to start with Mechanics; on a scale of 1-10, pick a number that describes your skill in SEO tactics, website building wisdom, copywriting skills, blogging, and Social Media abilities. If you feel you have mastered these all pretty well—give yourself a 10. A one would be someone who is really new at all of these things or just feels their skills are sub-par. Don’t get hung up on the numbers, just give the rating and keep moving.
Let’s take a look at Mindset now. How well do you manage your emotions? Do you think about quitting if your event or launch doesn’t go the way you feel it should? Do you have a tenacious intention for success or do you wobble in your convictions about your abilities to be successful? If you’re a fierce and determined Entrepreneur—then put down a 10 next to Mindset. If you wobble or have many thoughts about quitting rather than taking effective action because of fears and doubts you may be a three, a two, or even a one. Which one are you?
For organization how well do you keep up with your notes, your schedule, your tax information and being timely with your posts? Are you drowning in information? That might just be a one, but if you’ve got a pretty good handle on your paperwork and your postings, give yourself an eight, nine or even 10.
Now for Expertise, I suspect most of you bring a lot of power to this particular sector of your Mastery Pyramid. Whether you’re a coach, an energy healer, someone who owns a store or a restaurant—you probably have got skills; this is where you shine. This is also where you have little question about your abilities. So rate yourself and then take a good look at your pyramid. Can you see the areas where you’re going to need additional growth and understanding? Great, this is where you want to focus your studies/coaching so that you can grow into the successful Entrepreneur you envision!
As I mentioned earlier, this is just one portion of the training I did last week. You can catch the replay now online at the LAGirl13 site, for a limited time—and it’s free.
