Based on the post about the power of mastermind groups, I had a great idea of putting together biggest mastermind group in the world. Just imagine what kind of power this kind of undertaking could bring to its participants. Can you say a “think tank on steroids”.

Here is what I was thinking:

- Only people who are serious about helping them selves and others in the area of personal development need to apply. This will include helping everybody to achieve general success, financial success, business success and personal success.

- People must be willing to put in effort in participating within the group. Mastermind groups only work if people make them work.

- There will be no spamming within this group.

- You can join by invitation only.

It will be run as a yahoo group. So everything will be done through email.

Here is how I envision it working:

- Everyone in this group will get to state one problem they are struggling with at the moment.

- Once the problem has been stated, everyone else in the group must respond to it in one way or another. It can be an advice or a suggestion, or may be a potential solution to the problem. May be the problem requires a referral to a connection you might have. Masterminding is all about networking and sharing resources.

- After the problem has been addressed, another person states his, and the process starts all over again.

This kind of brainstorming and collective problem solving will bring a great advantage to anyone who participates. It will be absolutely free. And I am also thinking that I might through in a free membership to BurstCreativity’s Kick Start your creativity program, for the participants of this group, as well.

To see if you will qualify use our online contact form and tell me why you want to join. Every candidate will be reviewed and only those who will be chosen will get a response with instructions on how they can join.

Good luck!

What is masterminding exactly? Let me ask you a quick question first. What would be more effective when solving a problem, trying to come up with a solution by your self, or having a group of people help you? The answer is probably best found in this familiar saying - “Two heads are better then one”. To make it really simple we can look at a mastermind group as a “think tank” that helps find solutions to problems that the members of the group face. First pioneered by Napoleon Hill, this popular concept soon gained popularity within the personal development and business circles alike.

When all members of the group are like minded people, this kind of gathering of minds brings a special sort of synergy, and incredible results. If you ever wanted to accelerate your success join a master mind group or form one of your own. Just imagine, every member of the group gets a turn to present his problem to others and they in turn try to find a solution to his problem.

Many businesses use this concept to come up with new ideas or streamline their processes. But I must underline the importance of having a group of like minded people. If there is no chemistry between that group, the synergy I was talking about will not happen.

Another important point to look at, is the fact that the group must have a structure. What do I mean by that? If your group doesn’t have rules which all of the members agree to follow, you will not be able to accomplish anything useful in your meetings. You also would need a person who will coordinate things. Making sure that every issue is fully addressed by all members.

Usually a group like that would meet at regular intervals, be it once a week or one a month. You can meet as often, or as few times, as you want. The important thing is that you do so religiously. Otherwise the whole purpose of having a mastermind group is defeated.

Now days with the power of the internet such meetings can be held virtually, so people do not actually have to be at the same place physically. They don’t even have to be there at the same time. Such groups may be set up as a forum, or a discussion group.

Without a doubt if you succeed in joining such group, or making one of your own, work, it will benefit you on countless levels and is well worth the work you will put into establishing one.
