What is a MasterMind Group?

The concept of the MasterMind Group was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill in the early 1900's. With the advent of the internet people are getting together to mastermind online.

In his timeless classic, "Think And Grow Rich" Napolean Hill wrote about the Mastermind 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."

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. You will create a community of supportive colleagues who will brainstorm together to move the group to new heights. 

Most people view the MasterMind group in a business sense, however, they can be used for personal benefit as well. You can get a group of homeschoolers together and two heads are better than one in coming up with new ideas to keep homeschooling fun and interesting! There is no end to what you can form a mastermind group around, the only limit is your imagination.

If you find you can't locate like-minded people in your local area for your mastermind you can always take your mastermind online.

Meet and Grow Rich: How to Easily Create and Operate Your Own "Mastermind" Group for Health, Wealth, and More

In "Meet and Grow Rich" the authors share the practical and necessary "what to do" and the "how to do it" info that can help anyone to easily create a successful mastermind group of their own. I especially liked Chapter 9 which provides real world, inspiring examples of how others have used mastermind groups to achieve both personal and professional success beyond their wildest dreams. The Q & A format of Chapter 10 answers the most common questions about masterminding and mastermind groups. Part II of the book gives other experts an opportunity to share their valuable knowledge, experience and insights into masterminding. Having participated in mastermind groups myself, I also appreciated the books helpful info on how to invite and select members, how to structure your mastermind sessions for maximum effectiveness, how to deal with different personalities in the group and how to easily resolve any challenges that may arise.

Mastermind Groups for Musicians

You can develop a mastermind group for just about anything! Even a mastermind online to build your online music career

If you are having difficulty starting your own mastermind group you can find already established groups and join them.

Most people think about doing a mastermind group in person, but it is even easier to get involved in an mastermind online.

When looking for a mastermind online you might want to start with a type of coaching program. Starting with a coaching program can get you in the right frame of mind to mastermind with others. This type of mastermind group may involve a specific course, but has a forum where you can meet with other like-minded people and mastermind together.

Take a look at this if you are a musician looking for a mastermind online.

Marketing Mastermind

Sometimes I find I don't have the time or energy to join a full fledged mastermind group. What I might do instead is find interviews or teleseminars with successful people.

I will listen to them and then talk with friends over the phone or online about what I've heard and what I've learned.

This is not a real mastermind group, but it does allow you to learn from successful people and do some brainstorming and processing of the information you've learned.

I find this method of masterminding particularly helpful when it comes to marketing. There are so many audios available from marketing experts, and there are tons of forums you can get on to talk to others about what you've learned.

If you are looking for mastermind audios this is a great marketing mastermind series.

Learning, Growing and the Mastermind Group

Since I work at home and do marketing, I do a lot of my masterminding around marketing.

I find it so helpful to find people who are in my field and are willing to learn and grow and help one another. It is especially helpful to be able to mastermind with people who have more experience and have experienced even more success than I have. This helps me grow and learn and evolve in my profession.

The best place I have found to learn marketing, grow as a marketer and learn all the tips of the trade, as well as having a warm and nurturing environment to use for masterminding is Affiliate Classroom.

It has so many resources, and as I learn I mastermind and deepen my understanding and continue to really solidify my learning.
