Napoleon Hill wrote about the mastermind group principle as:
“The 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 [the master mind].”
Final Thought
To help create a Mastermind Group here a ten tips for the successful creation:
- The individuals in the group must share the same values about business.
- People need to be tough, yet supportive when need be.
- Accountability and put some “skin in the game” (time commitment, membership dues) instead of socializing and buddy gatherings (e.g. golf outings).
- Keep it small. The most successful groups have fewer than five members.
- Groups can be effective for as long as five years, or for a short six month time frame. It depends on the purpose of the group.
- Challenge non-supportive and participative members. It is okay to confront a member who is not pulling their weight, and only uses the group for social benefit.
- Write it down. The group must have a written purpose statement and some basic operating guidelines to be effective in the long term.
- Get group goals. Celebration of key milestones is essential, not just a “nice to have.”
- Someone has to be the leader. Keeping things organized and on schedule maintain group integrity. When the group feels “stale,” it probably is. Someone needs to monitor group think and encourage innovation.
- Masterminds are not for everyone. If you are running a lifestyle business, dislike honest feedback, and do not believe in the abundance mindset, seek out another venue or hire a therapist.
