Mastermind groups are a great way to be, do and have anything that you want. I have started my own group on my Facebook page.
What is masterminding? It is the art of bringing talented people together to strategize achievement of goals. It is the ultimate in networking, accountability and motivation all rolled together. You do not need a common goal as a group. You only need your desire and the willingness to listen.
Mastermind groups should be configured with at least 5 people, or more. Ideally, these people should be motivated in their own right and should have a natural desire to help themselves and others. It does no good to join a mastermind group if you truly do not want to be, do or have something better in your life.
Once you have your group, you need to craft some goals. I have asked my team to come up with three goals each. They need to be specific enough that you can make an action plan for them. My goals read like this:
1. I want to change my employment;
2. I want to launch a national radio show with Kimberly Archie;
3. I want to launch Faydra and Company nationally.
Once I have my goals, I will develop action plans for each one, or for one at a time. Either way works fine.
Next the group will begin to mastermind one person's goals and action steps per day, per meeting, or however works best for the group. For the Facebook crew, we will tackle one person's goals at a time throughout the day. The person who is the focus (known as the person of focus or POF) will let the group know which goal they are working. The group will give suggestions, make recommendations and use their connections to assist the person who is the focus. The POF will give regular updates that day about what steps they are taking, how the others are helping, and report out as to their success.
If your group is meeting in person, do the same model ~ focus on one POF a meeting and use technology to stay in touch with all the support and follow up. Rotate the POF each time you meet and you will be checking off goals like magic. It may take a few rotations for you to get where you want to go, but all that support is contagious, infectious and exhilarating.
Good Luck!!!
