If you’re struggling to grow your business, it may not be because of something you're doing wrong. Instead, it may be because of something you're not doing much of at all — walking! Research shows that walking boosts your creativity by up to 60% compared to sitting. And here’s more good news! You don’t have to walk especially fast to reap these benefits.
Enter Mastermind Walks! Your opportunity to step away from the desk, move your body, and unlock fresh ideas and business strategies with other entrepreneurs in your local community.
You already know that walking is good for your health, but did you know it’s also good for your business?
A Stanford study found that walking can boost creative thinking by up to 60% compared to sitting. That means some of your best business ideas may be waiting for you just outside your front door.
And while walking alone clears your head, walking in community does something even more amazing things.
On Mastermind Walk, you'll:
- Fuel your creativity: A gentle stroll helps your brain make new connections and unlock fresh ideas.
- Clarify your thoughts: Turn ideas and thoughts into actionable strategies by mulling them over with other small business owners
- Share your experiences: Help other local business owners by sharing your experiences and areas of expertise
- Build momentum: Encouragement and accountability from peers transform solitary inspiration into lasting growth.
- Make new friends: Meet local small business owners who become your friends and your own informal board of directors
- Support your local economy: where possible, Mastermind Walks include visits to locally owed businesses including book stores, coffee shops, farmer's markets, petting zoos, and boutiques so you can support other local businesses
That's the power of Mastermind Walks! We combine the spark of movement with the wisdom of community.
So step away from your studio and desk, and into the fresh air and sparkly conversations that turn your newest ideas into strategies that produce results.
Your next big business success move, along with new support systems and besties, are right outside your front door! Together, we’ll move our bodies, open our minds, and explore new ways to grow our businesses in community, one solid step at a time.
