This needs list will come in handy in the idea generation phase of your Mastermind

session. If there is a lull in the conversation, look at this list and let that move things

forward.

sTraTeGy 6-14:

let your mind fly.

step 3: Generate as many ideas as possible.

This section is the most vital. Everyone in the Mastermind simply lets his or her

mind fly. They take the lid off their thinking and create a long list of solutions.

Here are the general guidelines for generating ideas:

never evaluate

Never evaluate the ideas in this stage. There will be plenty of time to evaluate

later. For now, the focus is on coming up with as many ideas as possible.

never hesitate

Never hesitate to share an idea. Even if it seems stupid or non-related. What often

happens is you share an idea that doesn’t seem to make sense at the moment but it will,

once several other pieces of the puzzle are laid on the table.

never ridicule

Never ridicule an idea. An idea which seems crazy to you might cause someone

to think of something else which in turn will make someone else think of an idea which

they would never have had if the first person hadn’t shared the crazy idea which people

wanted to ridicule.

Move quickly

Keep the ideas flowing. There should

rarely be silence when Masterminding. Force

yourself to keep coming up with ideas. Keep

the speed up; otherwise, you are into your

logical mind rather than the Mastermind.

Think big

Most people play with such small

ideas. Think big! If a big idea hits you, then

share it.

“If you can count

your money, you

don’t have a billion

dollars.”
