Form A Master Mind Group
88. Form a Master Mind Group.
There are support groups for all types of things. There are groups to support each other with drinking, drugs, overeating and the like. Having the support of others and knowing there are other people who are going through the exact same thing you are helps in the process.
The reason for the success of group therapy and support groups is they offer perspectives you may not have considered on your own. We can use this same principle in helping us build success. Also in doing so, we can help foster success in others. I am talking about forming a Master Mind Group and it is a Tool I learned when I read the book Think and Grow Rich, by Napoleon Hill.
A Master Mind Group is when a handful of people in a similar field or with similar goals meet together to share ideas on what works and what doesn’t. The group “Master Minds” on things they can do to be more successful, and in doing so they can put working principles in action while avoiding ones that don’t work. In addition, people can share advice with others on challenges they are facing in their particular business. There is plenty of wealth to go around for all of us. Do not be afraid that you will be divulging a secret to others. Remember Tool 32, The hole you receive through is only as big as the one you give through.
I have learned so much while “Master Minding” with other professionals in my industry. I don’t really believe that there is any competition. If you worry about what you are doing, then it doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing. What I mean by this is construct a group of people who do what you do and are the type of people who you respect in your particular field, industry or belief system.
By helping each other you all can win. And if you are in a competitive field that you can’t share with the guy next door, form a group with people from other states. Once again, remind yourself that you are trying to accomplish more wins and successes. By getting together with like-minded people who are also trying to reach new heights, you will all climb higher by tying up and climbing together.
