You might be wondering…. “What Is A Mastermind (group) and how can I benefit from it?” Please allow me to answer this question for you!
Have you ever sat down with one or more other “likeminded” people and felt “Connected”? Have you ever felt like being around certain individuals allowed you to think more clearly, and do ideas come more naturally around that person or those people? Many of you will know EXACTLY what I mean…
This “feeling” you get is an incredible example of what the Late and Great Napoleon Hill spoke about in his timeless classic “Think and Grow Rich.”
Get Involved With A Mastermind Group!
Hill put it best: “The mastermind group is a coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony.”
He continues…
“No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind.”
There is synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that participants bring to a Mastermind Group. The beauty of Mastermind Groups is that participants raise the bar by challenging each other to create and implement goals, brainstorm ideas, and support each other with total honesty, respect and compassion. Mastermind participants act as catalysts for growth, new ideas and most importantly sparking definite action.
In a Mastermind Group, the agenda belongs to the group, and each person’s participation is key. Your peers give you feedback, help you brainstorm new possibilities, and set up accountability structures that keep you focused and on track. You will create a community of supportive colleagues who will brainstorm together to move the group to new heights.
I have been privileged enough to have experienced this on many different occasions, with many different people. Conversations just flow, new ideas are born (seemingly one or more a minute!) and things “GET DONE”.
Working with a partner or a group of likeminded, motivated, and enthusiastic individuals can most certainly help you to “Expand” your minds reach and achieve more than you have ever thought possible.
Keys to consider when choosing a mastermind partner or partners:
1. Choose positive individuals – in a mastermind group it only takes one “rotten egg” to ruin the batch, so make sure people who you choose are positive and “for” the cause.
2. Choose individuals with an open mind – a lot of the ideas passed around in mastermind groups might seem a bit “out there” for people with a closed mind…choose people who are open to almost ALL ideas and will support you 100%.
3. Choose those who are currently successful in their field or who have the DRIVE and DESIRE to be successful and INNOVATIVE in their field of choice – these are the people you want in your group. Success breeds more success and so on and so forth…choose wisely!
So what are you waiting for? Build your mastermind group today! Almost all of my best ideas came as a result of this concept, and I stand by this approach 100%. Be sure to meet consistently and with clear intent. One break in the chain of a mastermind group can be catastrophic to the potential results.
Go for it! You can do it, the mastermind group can help!
