The Mastermind: Thinking Like Never Before

It has been quite a year so far. If you have gotten off track with your goals, you are not alone. The changes in 2020 have left countless people entirely off-balance. But there’s still time to make it one of your best years – if you do things differently now. Things that help you change your thought patterns and raise your awareness. Things that get you excited about your possibilities again.

This is YOUR life. And as far as we know, you have only one.

You can be like most people and settle for what you think you can get and wish you could be, do, and have more. Or you can choose to walk your unique path and swing for the fences because EVERYTHING you want is closer than you think.

The truth is it is already here. I heard these amazing words from my business partner Bob Proctor. Bob asked me, “If you had the opportunity to study the thinking of one of the master thinkers of all time, would you take it? If that very same opportunity allowed you to share ideas, goals, and challenges while developing profitable relationships with like-minded business leaders, would you take it?” “Of course, I would,” I answered.

That was when I was introduced to Napoleon Hill and Think and Grow Rich. Throughout the book, Hill reminds every one of the power of belonging to a Mastermind Group. What is a Mastermind Group? Great question! Hill defines it as: “The coordination of knowledge and effort between two or more people who work towards a definite purpose in a spirit of harmony…no two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible, intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind,” also known as, the Mastermind.

To me, it is a group of like-minded people who gather to share their experience, strength, and hope to benefit all members of the group. The great success is the success of the group. It is where personal growth meets professional growth on higher ground. Here are a few results you can count on when being in the right mastermind group. You will no longer be an individual; you will become one with a group of successful people focused on the same thing you are.

​The combined intelligence of the Mastermind creates wisdom far beyond your own. You will more easily create life-changing results when you are open to looking at things—at yourself, your problems, and your opportunities—from another’s point of view. You will engage in critical thinking about different scenarios and strategies for building wealth. You will be open to accepting new possibilities you may have never known, heard of, or considered before. You will be more powerful when you have others helping you. Reach out and let’s discuss joining a mastermind group.
