Master Minds
Show Notes: http://ryanrhoten.com/mastermindagenda
Today on the BRAND New You show I went solo to talk about a topic I get asked about quite often - Master Minds
Recently I sent out an email to my newsletter list and asked for feedback and suggestions for topics to cover on the podcast.
I received several suggestions and will cover all of the topics submitted in upcoming shows but the topic of master minds won the Pareto chart battle.
So let’s get into this.
If you were to ask ten different people to define a master mind you’ll probably get ten different answers. I always refer back to the book Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
Written in 1937 as a personal development and self-improvement book, Think and Grow Rich is much more than a book on the secrets of how to gain wealth.
It’s a philosophy that can be used to help people succeed in all lines of work.
The book consists of 13 principles for personal achievement one of which is the Power of the Master Mind.
According to Mr. Hill a Master Mind occurs:
“When a group of individual brains are coordinated and function in Harmony, the increased energy created through that alliance, becomes available to every individual brain in the group.”
Or said another way its like a brainstorming session on steroids.
Everyone in the group is focused on a single purpose. One idea fuels engagement from other team members and before you know you are all functioning in perfect harmony working to solve or resolve the challenge at hand.
When this happens Claudia Alutcher might say the idea machine in the room is running at full capacity.
This is the power of the master mind. Surrounding yourself with a group of like-minded individuals for advice, counsel, and cooperation around a single purpose.
My single definite purpose to educate and elevate the personal brands and online reputations of career-minded professionals so they get recognized for their expertise by becoming an authority in their niche.
Or as I like to say become the google of their niche.
Other topics covered include:
HOW TO START YOUR MASTER MIND
ESTABLISHING GUIDELINES FOR YOUR MASTER MIND
HOW TO CONDUCT YOUR MASTER MIND MEETINGS (including a downloadable agenda)
And that’s it. Every thing I know about starting, running and participating in a master mind. I’ve been fortunate to be in two master mind groups as I started down my current path.
They have helped shaped my thinking, my single define purpose and frankly me as a person both personally and professionally.
If you pick the right members they will become a part of your family just like for me Steve Stewart, Dustin Hartzler, Joseph Michael, Brand Heavey and Michael Faron have become for me.
Good luck getting started. If you other questions please leave a comment below.
I’ll answer every question and by keeping your comments on the blog others will be able to see the questions and the answers all in one place.
That’s all the time we have left for today.
I’ve been Ryan. And I’m out.
