subject: Easy to follow and implement steps how to start a mastermind group [print this page] The benefits of joining a mastermind group are enormous. That's why it is important to consider starting your own mastermind group.
What are the key steps then?
Selecting participants for a Mastermind Group is an essential step. The reason behind it is that even one not fitting member can cause the whole concept of a successful mastermind group, fail. Five participants is the ideal number of group members but even with two right persons you can already start a mastermind group.
When looking for members you should look for people who:
1. Share similar goal. Without a doubt any mastermind group without a common goal won't work.
2. Are at a similar level of success.
3. Are similarly motivated.
4. Can commit to regular meetings.
If someone doesn't take the meetings and subsequent actions seriously, the group should ask such person to leave, as all of the members work on common objectives, support each other and commit to the meetings. It only takes one slacker to alter the energy level of the group and ruin it for everyone.
The group should meet at least once a monththough once a week is better suited to keep the momentum upfor about an hour (depending on how many people are in the group). Obviously there are mastermind groups, which have more than five members and depending on the complexity of a common goal it can take much longer than one hour to conduct the meeting.
Members take turns leading the meeting. It is important that each member gets around ten minutes to talk about his/her successes, challenges he faced and successes. At the end, the members get feedback and formulate action plan to implement by the next meeting.
You should know now that starting your own mastermind group is easy and can be done fast, although you need to find the right people to participate in your group. The good thing is that before starting your own group, you can learn from other successful mastermind groups. If you choose wisely some of them can greatly influence your business development.
