A Mastermind group is like a kind, wise and persistent grandmother holding a mirror up to your face. She smiles at you with loving eyes, but refuses to take the mirror down until you give it a good honest look.
ACCOUNTABILITY – - When the Mastermind mirror is held up to your face, you suddenly become more accountable for living a better life. Suddenly, you must set goals and make forward progress. You are not only answering to the face in the mirror, but to all the other people, standing behind you in that reflection.
SYNERGY – - This word is overused. I hate to use it here, but nothing else comes to me. A mastermind group takes on a life of it’s own, especially when the members come from a diverse background. When you have a problem, challenge, or obstacle, the members of your mastermind group will come up with ideas, solutions, and resources, that you would never have come up with on your own. This leads to the next point…
GROWTH – - The mirror in front of you will make you grow, week after week. None of us are perfect. Our business, our financial life, our personal life, will only be as good as our weaknesses allow it to be. We are all held back by our shortcomings. Unfortunately, when we try to “go it alone” we often fail to see our own shortcomings. We don’t have that kind person holding up the mirror. A good mastermind group can change all of that. Other people are often able to see in us what we do not see in ourselves; the good, the bad, and the…. well, you get the idea.
Your mastermind group will force you to address your shortcomings, step into areas of growth, and stretch your comfort zone. These are uncomfortable times to go through, but go through them we must if we are going to improve our lives.
While Mastermind groups are often formed for support in business or financial endeavors, participation in a group will have an impact on every area in your life. As you take a good long look in the mirror, you will start to see growth in your personal life, your emotional and spiritual life, and yes… your pocket book too!

finally had time to look at this this AM. Very good. It sort of reminds me of group counseling sessions from my counseling days.
