The President of the U.S. has a cabinet and every CEO has a board…you need a mastermind alliance. One important thing a mastermind group will do is cover the blind spots of each member, and to gain unbiased, independent and objective advice. Just find up to seven people who share your goals or have goals similar to yours and recruit them. Find members who have the skills, experience, education and/or contacts that you would find helpful. (Of course, you help your members too.) Look up all the people you have ever known who could help. Have your membership think of other good potential members too.
Get unanimous approval from your membership before you actually invite people to your forum.
After you have found members, go to Yahoo, MSN or MySpace and form a CLOSED Yahoo or MSN or MySpace group. Invite your members to the group and begin work. Keeping records should be extremely easy using any of these group sites. Also, you don’t have to meet at the same time at a physical location or run up phone bills.
Now, what do you do? Decide on your group’s definite major purpose and construct a plan to accomplish it. Give everyone in your group a job. Remember, success is usually cooked in a crock pot, not a microwave. Don’t expect success overnight. Just keep striving towards your common purpose and help each other in a spirit of unity and harmony.
Other things you can do are: review each other’s business plans, resumes, web sites, e-books, share information, brainstorm, send traffic to each others web sites and keep each other motivated. You can put class notes or any relevant data in the files section of the Yahoo or MSN group. The possibilities are unlimited.
