What is a Mastermind Group?
A simple definition is it is a group of peers who meet for a common purpose and basically share ideas and advice with each other–that’s it. Just a small group of like-minded people coming together for common purpose and to take action.
Now the not-so simple thing is the results of a group of peers meeting together. When done right, the Mastermind group environment creates a people dynamics and catalyst for growth that is rarely seen elsewhere.
Seven Things to look for when joining a Mastermind Group
- The commitment of the leader and/or founder.
- A group of your peers, not someone else’s.
- Is there access to experts?
- Good mastermind groups bring in outside experts and usually have a founder & team that are very deep to help their members.
- The Cost
- Most Mastermind Groups have a monthly fee and always seems on the high side.
- There has to be clear value to you.
- You will be putting in time and money. Is it worth it? Does this particular mastermind help you reach your vision?
- The answers better be a strong ‘yes’. A ‘maybe’ is the same as a ‘no’
- Does this mastermind allow you to contribute and help other people in the group?
- Does your personality fit the group dynamics?
