On Tuesday night I had another great mastermind meeting.  What is mastermind?  A mastermind group is a gathering of like minded folks looking to better themselves. Not to impressive looking in, but its an amazingly powerful tool if used right.  Here’s how it works.

On a regularly scheduled interval.  Say once a week, you meet up either in person or via phone conference like we do.  The group then goes into a brainstorming, motivational, goal setting, problem solving, life enriching session.  Each group functions differently based on group needs.  Our group goes over the accomplishments from the previous week, goals for the following week and discusses problems anyone has and potential solutions.  Then one universal rule for nearly all masterminds, its confidential.  You have a group of trusted folks that you can really share your ideas, goals, and setbacks with.

We usually accomplish what we need to in about an hour.  We record meeting minutes in our private forum.  Each person posts their goals for the week and if they complete them or not.  Believe me, peer pressure is a great thing in this setting.  I find myself very motivated to work on goals when I have stated them to the group.  We also have a section to discuss any challenges each member faces.  Other group members suggest solutions.

Its hard to describe how amazing this type of thing can be, but each member of our 9 person group is focused more and they accomplish more.  I strongly suggest looking into a mastermind group to help you achieve your goals in life.  Gather together 6-7 other motivated folks who concentrate on solving problems rather then dwelling on them.  Meet at a scheduled time, work out needs of the group and see where it takes you.  So far its been an incredible experience for me.  By the way, not everyone has to be in the same industry.  In fact, we found that our very dynamic group backgrounds has helped us think outside the box much more then if we were all in the same industry.  It has also got us to at least understand a bit more of the life of someone doing something we may know little about.  If your looking for more info, I suggest you login The Fastlane to Millions forum and see what other folks are saying about it.
