sTraTeGy 6-1:

Carefully choose 6 to 8 like-minded people

to become part of your Mastermind group.

Choose the People Carefully

The people with whom you associate are very important. They will influence

you. If you are going to spend time Masterminding, be certain the people with whom you

associate with have similar values and aspirations.

I would never be in a Mastermind group, for example, with someone who

repeatedly publicly ridiculed or spoke harshly about someone who wasn’t present. What

assurance would I have they wouldn’t do exactly the same when I wasn’t present?

Associate with people in a Mastermind situation who believe in the power of

Masterminding. A certain degree of belief in

the process is vital. Skeptics who investigate

is one thing, skeptics who bring the group

down is another. When a big objective is

presented to the group, you want people

around that table who are not going to be

blown away. You want people who are going

to play a willing part. They should do so

because they are sold on the concept.

Another element I look for in the

people I Mastermind with is what I call the

growth factor. Are they here to ‘get’ or to

‘grow?’ Education, ‘drawing from within’, or

enhancing our awareness is vital. Be around

people who are involved in a process of

continual personal development.

A Mastermind group meets weekly

but there is no magic number. Biweekly and

monthly work well, too. Make a short list

below of people with whom you consider

yourself compatible and people who also

want to master money and want to become

wealthier. Ask them to commit to become

part of your Mastermind group. The meetings can take anywhere from one to three hours.

It is a serious commitment, so only include people whom you think are serious and growth

oriented. You might not ask all the people on this list but start thinking about some possible

people. It will be a mutually beneficial relationship.

“Prosperity is a

win-win-win game.

Everyone is better

off when you

prosper honestly

and sincerely, using

your consciousness

to create ideas that

will earn for you

all that you could

ever want, need, or

desire.”
