Quick definition: A Master Mind Group is a select group of individuals who meet on a regular basis, either in person or by phone, to accelerate their progress toward their goals and dreams. Members of the group can reap many possible benefits:
Clarify your personal strategy
Share successes and good ideas
Solve problems and make effective decisions
Keep each other’s confidence level high
Challenge, motivate, and encourage each other
Hold each other accountable
How can you form your own Master Mind Group? The first step is listing the potential members of your group. Think of people whose ideas and support you value. Some of your current friends fall into this description. Next, it is good to stretch a bit and consider other individuals outside your constellation of friends and acquaintances. List names of people you don’t know yet – people who have inspired you. It is great if you have group members who will ask you to leave your comfort zone and encourage you to grow.
Once you have a list of names, you are ready to invite people to participate in weekly or monthly discussions. You can use the list I provided earlier to help describe what the group will discuss. Then, get on the phone or talk to them in person. In “The Success Principles, “ Jack Canfield suggests that you share with them the names of other people who have agreed to join your group. This can be strong motivation for them to get involved.
You can try a regular check-in call with one person to get you started. The important element here is to keep your commitment whether it is every Wednesday with one person or a weekly or monthly session with several people. One of the best benefits I have found is the regular affirmation and celebration. Positive feedback is powerful!
