<div class="bbWrapper">well, it seems our little sessions worked and we got to experience how powerful this tool is.<br /> <br /> I suggest you guys create a list of strengths for each member, so you can spread the talent around.</div>

[Kung Fu Steve]

<div class="bbWrapper">I can say my experience with my group has been amazing. I have learned and grown much with the help of my mastermind group. <br /> <br /> I highly recommend you guys get one together.<br /> <br /> Here is the free conference call system we use: <a href="http://www.instantconference.com" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">InstantConference - Free Conference Call Service</a><br /> <br /> Make sure you set up the ground rules with your group and follow the instructions Russ and Yves put out there. <br /> <br /> Good luck!</div>

 

[Bobo]

<div class="bbWrapper">Complimentary skills are a key here. The synergy comes from dealing not only with smart people who have vision, it comes from those folks whose vision is sharpest in your blindspots.<br /> <br /> After 3 businesses and a lot business world experience I know where I am strong: Vision, messaging and branding a concept. Where I am weak is on the realization of that vision - managing people and motivating the staff. In fact, i suck at managing people when it is my business, am considered exceptionally good at doing it in the business world (odd).<br /> <br /> So for a mastermind group you might consider similar interests but a varied skillset. Need to condense an idea into an elevator pitch? Call me. Need to learn how to get the idea financed and the right tax structure? I&#039;m useless.<br /> <br /> Ask yourself where your gifts lie - you are brilliant at SOMETHING and chances are you are woefully inadequate in another. For years I struggled with that, now I understand that I need to stay away from areas where I am a walking disaster and relinquish control to experts in those areas so I can focus on my gift - defining, articulating and evangelizing the pitch of the concept.<br /> <br /> Lately I&#039;ve had to force myself to rely on experts who I am paying good (and big) money to and let them do the job I hired them to do because they can do it logically and strategically without getting bogged down in my bias and strong feelings on the subject - trusting someone else with something that is absolutely critical to you (like your plan) is a lot easier SAID than done.<br /> <br /> <br /> Just food for thought</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Perhaps a private area on this forum could be created for each Mastermind Group. I&#039;m interested ... but have no idea how to participate. Also, the &quot;leader&quot;could decide who joins their group based on various criteria. For example, someone with zero real estate experience (or interest) will unlikely do well in a group mainly about Real Estate. <br /> <br /> Perhaps there is some interest in starting a Mastermind &quot;Start-up&quot; Group ... a group that brings together the talent in this forum to create new start-up companies. For example, Bobo is great at vision, messaging and branding a concept. Someone else maybe great at raising capital, another with marketing or running day-to-day operations, etc.</div>

I do know of one group that has already been formed. You need to make it known wide and clear that you are interested and you may be invited to join one. Or you could invite people and form your own. KungFuSteve has the info for arranging conference calls. You get a few people and you talk about your goals and challenges.<br /> <br /> I do believe you misunderstand the experience thing though. The real idea is to bring people together with different strengths, weaknesses, and interests. By doing so you bring in new perspectives and possible solutions. Business is business, I can learn enough in a different area to bring something of value to the table. Different geographic areas also help bring new ideas. You need to put the word out on this forum that you are in and something will happen.

The groups we&#039;re talking about here are mastermind groups. My group has a conference call each week where we exchange ideas. Some weeks we focus on RE, some weeks it&#039;s on tax laws, some weeks it&#039;s on internet marketing. We try to help each other solve problems and celebrate wins. At our recent meetup in Scottsdale my group demonstrated to the larger group how it can work and how powerful it is to share with like minded people. There were several business challenges that were put out for the group. Some of them were RE related. I believe, in each example at least one full page of potential solutions were submitted. It was an awesome thing to see and hear so many ideas being thrown out. It was a true showing of how resourceful the fastlane members are.<br /> <br /> As a result of that meeting ATW has said there are two more groups that have been started in the last 2 weeks. Awesome.<br /> <br /> I also have to give credit where it&#039;s due. RussH is the one that brought this to the fastlane table at B&amp;P 2008. I was the one that shot him down and now I am in a fantastic MM group. I have already told Russ, sorry I shot you down and thanks for taking the risk to bring it to the group. :cheers:<br /> <br /> Are you still interested Cory?</div>

Looking at the line up of the group that you are involved with one could (and do) say the same thing. When our group started forming I thought how can we possibly have a group that could be even come close to what the other groups has. The fact is, the other group also has a &quot;line up&quot;. <br /> <br /> I think most will find that the groups are/were born on the individual and different strengths and kind of morph themselves into the power line up as those elements meld together. I know we are all very excited to be involved in the mastermind concept in general. <br /> <br /> I also know that getting together at the meet-up offered us the opportunity to also meet one another that led to us building a bit of trust before being part of a mastermind group. Another way to get into a mastermind group is to start building relationships here on the forum, start building that trust and then go for it.</div>

 

[Runum]

<div class="bbWrapper">I agree we do have a great lineup in our group but I also like the lineups of yours and the other group as well. Looks like the B&amp;P 2010 will be even more spectacular with all this energy being spread around.</div>

[Runum]

<div class="bbWrapper">Like wildambitions said, don&#039;t sell yourself short. You are unique. If you are willing and confident, you bring your own view of things to a group. I am over twice your age and I learn from KungFUSteve, who is 22, every time we talk. I admire his energy and enthusiasm. The guy is an idea machine. But, he&#039;s also willing to take suggestions and he&#039;s not overly cocky to the rest of us.<br /> <br /> We also have Snowbank in our group. I believe he is in his late 20&#039;s. He just launched Bluefrire Poker with some help from his friends. Again, awesome energy and dedication to his ideas. Willing to ask for help, willing to offer his perspective.<br /> <br /> Being in a group can help you focus on what you want. It can help you overcome challenges to achieve that goal. It can bring out the best in you. It&#039;s not an over night change, it&#039;s gradual and progressive. Are you up for it?</div>

I don&#039;t know what I could add to the group.&quot;</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ol">&quot;I don&#039;t know if I have anything in common with the other people of the group. We are not of the same mindset and I just don&#039;t think we would be synergistic&quot;</li> </ol><br /> Either of these attitudes will hold you back and you will miss out on a tremendous growth opportunity if you allow either of these feelings to hold you back.<br /> <br /> These feelings also show that we have not adequately described how a mastermind group can work. Every mastermind group, regardless of the &quot;lineup&quot; can turn into a synergistic powerhouse for all of the members involved. It is as much - or more - about the process then it is about each individual involved in the group.<br /> <br /> Your group dynamics will change over time. As each member grows, learns, faces challenges, so too will the group grow, change, and become more synergistic. <br /> <br /> So.... if you think you don&#039;t measure up - - - think again. It is absolutely true when I say that every person has something to contribute. That means you too. All this feeling does is highlight the first thing you personally will be working on.... defining your strengths. It is a valuable exercise and you will benefit from it.<br /> <br /> If you think that you may not get much out of a particular group - - - think again. It is absolutely true when I say that every person has something to contribute. Give the group a chance to work it&#039;s magic. Six months later, you will be looking back on your old attitude, feeling very grateful for all you have learned about those in your group, the incredible power of the mastermind process, and your own shift in attitude.</div>
