I have been
running mastermind groups, and have been a member
of mastermind groups, since 1994. Without a doubt, I'm successful
because of my participation in them. One of the mastermind groups I belong
to has been meeting each month, without fail, for eight years!
There is something so special about having a group of
people who are committed to their own success...and YOUR
success as well. Having a sounding board is crucial for
growing a successful business. My mastermind group lets
me brainstorm new ideas (and tells me when I'm waaaay
off base), they help me bring creative solutions to
problems that have me stymied, and they support and
encourage me as I go out on a limb to find my ultimate
potential.
It's crucial that you have your own mastermind group,
people you've chosen to help support you in your
business success, and to whom you are equally committed.
In time and with experience you may find that you want
to create more and more mastermind groups so that you
can help others succeed, too. Whether you run your
groups for free or whether you charge members to join,
these groups will change your life.
I've put together everything I've learned about
mastermind groups over the past 15 years. I hope you
find these guiding principles, as well as the
nuts-and-bolts ideas of how to form and run your group,
helpful and practical.
