Thanks for the heads-up - I've never used Slack and use Skype all the time. What's the advantage of Slack over Skype?

They're pretty similar in function, but Slack has much more customisability.

You can create separate teams and channels (for example design/customer service/general/misc) within these teams which makes day-to-day chats and project management simpler and more organised.

The UI/UX is clean. Finding files and information from the past within the channels is a breeze. Also uploading and downloading larger files doesn't take 5 years so you don't have to resort to emailing them.

They also recently introduced video calls too which I find have more stable connection than Skype.

Just start?

It sounds like you're talking yourself out of starting.

If it's something you're interested in doing then just jump in.

You'll learn more by engaging your peers, in the same way you learn more about business when you engage your market.



I'm not in any "official" mastermind groups with scheduled calls or meetups.

I am, however, in various small groups or in 1-2-1 communication with people who I share ideas and get and receive feedback from.

How did these start? By helping people and by natural "elimination". You'll know soon enough who's got a similar work ethic and similar values.

I was never really interested in joining this. I have no value to bring to the table.

I've had PMs with about 1,400 people in the forum by this stage. So many people think they have no value to add yet, and that they aren't ready.

You can already add value.

I wrote this thread specifically for those who tangle themselves up and talk themselves out of starting:

I think you need to have a mastermind for a specific type of business model. For example, an import/resell or a specific affiliate mastermind.
Also, I bet that if you phrased the thread as "Apply to Join My Mastermind: 3 Spots left!" -- you might get more people to join. But at the end, you will find that YOU have to do the work first and make money before you get followers. Like somebody said before, you are either a leader or follower. Being equals doesn't usually work out
