never reject an idea
Never reject an idea because you don’t have the cash, time, talent, knowledge,
manpower or resources to pull it off.
encourage your partners
Encourage your Mastermind partners with your words and by your action.
Encourage them to come up with more ideas. Encourage them by thanking them and
acknowledging the ideas already generated. Never say things like “Oh, I’ve tried that but
it didn’t work.” This won’t fire anyone up to generate more ideas for you.
Plus it!
Plussing means expanding or enlarging an idea. The fishing example might be
plussed by me saying, “You could offer fishing in the spring and hunting in the fall. Or,
you could franchise the concept – call it FISH-R-US.”

network for others who can help.
step 4: Provide Contacts.
You are less than five people away from anyone on the planet. You know someone
who knows someone who knows someone...
If contacts are not generated at every Mastermind session, the session isn’t working
right. Every time an idea is generated, someone should ask, “Who knows someone who
can help?”
People should be willing to provide
the names and numbers of needed contacts.
If you are not familiar with the person being
Masterminded and are unwilling to simply
hand over names, help anyway by offering
to call the contact yourself and get back
to the Masterminded person later. Master
Masterminders generally bring their Rolodexes
and open them freely to their partners.
If someone gives you a name of
someone who might assist you in reaching the
Mastermind objective, be sure to follow up.
