Two Heads Are Better Than One

Its often said that  “two heads are better than one”!  Over the past month as a part of the empowered tribe we have formed mastermind groups.  I am new to masterminding too, so let’s explore together in Part one!! So exactly what is this process of masterminding?Napoleon Hill said in his book “ Think and Grow Rich” “The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony.” and he continues ” No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third,invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind.”

Have you ever been part of a group or just sitting talking with someone and all these ideas flow? Suggestions and events are created. Business ideas are created; all because of the coming together of two minds.  Ideas are created that would never have been created. Truly powerful.

What is a Mastermind Group?

“It’s a group of people who come together for a purpose where the intention is to further a common, predefined purpose by meeting as a group”, however it’s where everyone’s participation is the key” It can be explained also as a group of individuals who make up your immediate personal and professional ‘circle of advisors and influencers‘ who assist in the achievement of visions and goals.

The mastermind group needs a leader, or more correctly, a facilitator, which allows and gives structure to the group. How often the group meets is usually at the discretion of the creator and participants of the group.

Generally the purpose is that each person will want to develop and grow their business.

The benefits are exciting as you connect with like minded people and work toward the same goals. Brainstorming, sharing tips, and providing feedback creates real synergy because of the accountability structures set up to keep you focused. It also creates community by having supportive peers where you share experiences, knowledge, insights,strategies, tools, and tips to grow the business potential of every participant.

Participating in these mastermind groups allows others to see the greatness in you and the real value you add to the community as you open hearts and minds and share your dreams and goals along with your struggles and expectations.

Having a Mastermind Group is just like having your own board of directors!!!

Imagine a mastermind group….eight individuals……each with twenty years of experience, knowledge, wisdom, and passion…..a brain-bank-a vault -of one hundred and sixty years of pure gold, and those eight hold the keys to unlock those riches with their individual questions, insights and passionate desire to know the way ahead.

Mastermind Groups create win-win solutions for all participants. New friendships develop and everyone grows because of the support and encouragement of the Group. If you want to start your own mastermind group, you can.  Just do it!!    Check out Part 2 where I explore some basic questions you may have about masterminding especially if you are interested in setting up a group.This truly is a powerful tool that many do not explore or completely understand.

Please share your thoughts how Masterminding has impacted your life or have you ever considered it as an option.

Make it a terrific day !
