sTraTeGy 6-4:
insist on a ‘give’ versus ‘get’ mentality
within your Mastermind group.
To come to a Mastermind group expecting to ‘get’ is one of the surest ways to kill
the energy of proper Masterminding. What’s ironic today is that the notion of belonging
to some group solely to help others is so foreign to us. We are into W.I.I.F.M. (What’s In
It For Me) and R.O.I. (Return On Investment).
Consider this: It is the most beautiful and powerful concept for personal and
professional growth available today. A group of people who sincerely intend on, and are
committed to, doing whatever they can to assist in your success, looking for nothing in
return, and you doing the same for them.
This is one of the most fundamental aspects of what we are try to cultivate. ‘Come
looking to help the people at your table.’ Imagine everyone’s energy devoted to assisting
and supporting your success. Everyone committed, everyone giving. You can’t out give
God! Just keep helping others.
sTraTeGy 6-5:
demand a strong commitment.
Commitment is another key strategy to make a Mastermind group work effectively
and ensure certain disasters won’t happen. If people are not committed to the process, to
growth, to success, to giving to the group itself, they quickly abandon the group.
We have seen this happen time and time again. People join a group without the
proper commitment. They don’t become millionaires in the first 3 months and they quit.
They are hurting themselves more than they could ever hurt a properly working Mastermind
group. They are developing a habit called “I’m a quitter.” It can be a tough one to break.
