Be A Part Of The Group That Redefines The Industry

Master-mind groups work

#10: Be a part of the group that redefines the industry.

Put together a Master-Mind group and commit to it like a shotgun wedding.

Master-mind groups are where you get a handful of like-minded people who are having some success of varying degrees and meet on a regular basis. It could be anywhere from 2 to 15 people, but consistency is key.

In these groups, you should plan to meet every week, or once a month, but no less. When you meet, make sure that you have a clearly defined schedule for the meeting. This is how I work mine:
  • Go over your current project status
  • Talk about what you hope to accomplish by the next meeting
  • Group discussion on connections, resources, and ideas for the goal
Take turns with each person doing this, and give everyone a fair amount of the group's interest.

With a master-mind group, you can hold each other accountable for your work. So if I make plans to write a chapter in my novel by next week, the group will shame me if I don't provide them with the chapter.

Often times, we end the group with some kind of team game to wind down. Have fun, and do the work you set out to do!
