What is a Mastermind?

The term “Master Mind” comes from Napoleon Hill’s famous book Think and Grow Rich in which he defines the term as a

… coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.”

He says that this “… form of alliance has been the basis of every great fortune [or success].”

It’s a support group of like-minded people who collectively brainstorm ideas, strategies, techniques and concepts to help you move forward in any area of life.

You can build a mastermind group focused around ministry, networking, making money, better relationships, better physical fitness, or anything else that may be of interest to you.

Why Should I Make One?

It’s not easy to reach a huge goal by yourself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s totally possible with hard work and persistence, but 80% of the time and effort you will spend on non-important things can be eliminated, with the help of other people who have the same objective in mind.

When you’re working alone, it’s easy to become sidetracked, overwhelmed, or give up altogether after a few failed attempts at pushing through the pain periods.

Picture trying to figure out how to climb a mountain alone. With all the obstacles you will face and nobody around, you could easily get hurt, trapped, or die. With one or more people, you’re going to be able support each other, show the other person easier routes they didn’t realize, and work together every step of the way.

Similar to this kind of support, when two or more minds come together in pursuit of a common goal or objective, you will see exponential results. And the more bright minds you bring together focused on one definite purpose, the more results you will see.

It’s almost as if 2 minds coming together equals 4 minds. And 4 minds coming together creates 16 minds.

There is immeasurable power that comes from a mastermind group, and it has the potential to propel you halfway toward your goal object before you even begin to recognize it.
