What is a Mastermind and how will this be different from other support groups: You may have read about Masterminds in Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich.” He wrote: “When two or more people coordinate in a spirit of harmony and work toward a definite objective or purpose, they place themselves in a position, through the alliance, to absorb power directly from the great storehouse of the creative mechanism of each contributing mind.”
Did you also know that Andrew Carnegie – one of the 20th century’s greatest philanthropists and the wealthiest man in the world in the 1930s – used Mastermind Groups to support his professional and personal success? Carnegie met regularly to Mastermind with like-minded colleagues to share resources, brainstorm new ideas and support each other in achieving goals with satisfying results.
Many existing Mastermind groups effectively support members to stay on track by providing fresh perspectives, resource recommendations, strategic alliances, brainstorming on new ideas and – most importantly – accountability. This type of committed ongoing support helps MM members move further faster than most entrepreneurs or professionals usually do on their own. MM groups can also provide support for personal projects or challenges as needed in addition to career goals. But some MM groups flounder by getting overwhelmed by one member’s needs or a lack of ongoing commitment if members take on impossible goals and get discouraged by failing to reach them.
The 1-Hour Mastermind Process is designed to support each participant equally. It focuses on helping them get new perspectives and set achievable goals by following Carnegie’s Mastermind process more closely than most other Masterminds do.
1-Hour Mastermind Groups are limited to 7 members at a time. Group members initially commit for 3 months, then continue month to month. Each group is facilitated by a certified 1-Hour MM Director who can also be an additional resource where appropriate. But each group’s synergy comes from its ongoing members as 7 minds are indeed stronger and more creative than 1 mind alone. Research has shown that a variety of perspectives is key for expanding each members’ thinking which is often limited in scope or based only on previous experience.
So 1-Hour Mastermind Groups offer: * Focus and Accountability * Ongoing affordable support * Brainstorming partners with a variety of perspectives * Resource referrals or recommendations via the synergy of group members * Support in setting SMART goals to ensure members can accomplish them successfully * A like-minded positive attitude through the use of Gratitude and Carnegie’s Construct ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
