It Doesn't Matter Where You are Coming from, All that Matters is Where You are Going

True, it matters who is in your MasterMind.  A person with connections, money, skills, wisdom and resources matters a lot.

But obviously, such a person probably was not born with connections, money, skills, wisdom and resources.  Most people built their empires themselves.  Many with a small inner circle.

If you and your MasterMind are frustrated with recruiting, one idea is to recruit (and become) the type of person who will reach the million dollar mark, retire early, etc.

This means to use your time wisely.  There are:
- skills you can learn.
- books you can read.
- people you can meet.
- books and articles you can write
- there is keyword research to do.
- and more.

Find the best people you can.  Talk to the person who makes hay while the sun shines.
Talk to the person who has realistic goals he/she is working on and not wasting time or breaking the law.

Avoid the person who listens to and obeys the "they".  Screw "they."  "They" suck.  We are after individuals.

When I was an undergrad, all the spurious wishy washie guys all tried to attach themselves to people with money and influence.  Usually these scam artists advised people to sell a product that another business needs.  I think it is a little different these days with widespread unemployment, the shift to technology, and foreign competition.

I don't want my fate to be tied to one other business.  That, to me, is very risky.  Businesses, even huge ones, do not want to make you rich.  If your product is hot, there is the chance you could sell your business.

Recruit individuals to your MasterMind. Not sheeple. 

Hold each other accountable to your goals.
Don't waste time.
