Barbara Winter and I have been wracking our collective brains to see what else we can do to help as many as people as possible to reach, as Barbara calls it, “the other side.” Then we had it! We’ll do a Mini-Mastermind!
The term Mastermind was coined by Napolean Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich. In it Hill described the findings of his lifelong study of highly successful people. Not surprisingly, he found that one common characteristic among people like Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, and Andrew Carnegie (to name a few) was that they belonged to some kind of “Mastermind” group.
A Mastermind group, says Hill, is “a coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose. This form of cooperative alliance has been the basis of nearly every great success.”
The reason Barbara and I are calling it a “Mini-Mastermind” is because, at this point, neither of us is sure if we have the time to dedicate to an ongoing in-person group. But if you know Barbara or me at all, then you know we are the kind of people who never say “never.”
So this is a kind of a “testing the waters” exercise in the event that our 2007-2008 speaking schedules are not as hectic as we both think they’re going to be. Given that I was just invited to speak at an International Living conference in Panama, things do not appear to be slowing down – but you never know! In the process Barbara and I are hoping to launch a few more dreams!
Who Should Attend?
A Mastermind works best when it is composed of people who have gone beyond the exploring stage of “what do I want to be when I grow up” to actively starting or growing a business. The room only holds 25 people so that’s our limit.
First preference will be given to people attending the Work at What You Love workshop that is meeting Friday and Saturday, August 24-25. If there’s room we’ll open it up to other folks.
How Will It Work?
Of the 25 people, Barbara and I will be selecting 5 people who are at a stage in their business where we believe they could most benefit from a large group “Mastermind” session. The other twenty people will be offering ideas, and no doubt picking up some great tips, from the 5 people we’ll be “master minding” around. Plus, we’ll leave some time at the end to give everyone a chance to pose a business question in smaller teams.
Another benefit of attending is that Lisa Tarrant, my Vision Implementation Manager and technical genius will also be on hand to answer questions that may come up, like, how do I set up a blog, how do I edit a CD for my new information product, how do I get an ISNB number so I can sell my book on Amazon, etc.
When:
Sunday, August 26th from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. following the Work at What You Love workshop.
Where:
The Hotel Northampton, Northampton, Massachusetts
