Masterminds are an integral part of the life and success of great achievers.
I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend and mastermind expert, John Reighard, to shed some light on this subject.
So What Is A Mastermind?
A mastermind is the bringing together of a group of individuals to share ideas, knowledge and power in order to solve problems and work through issues in a confidential setting.
When is a Mastermind Successful?
A mastermind is successful when the right people come together at the right frequency with accountability and the desire to grow, stretch, and be honest & truthful. Members of a successful mastermind both give and receive.
Essential Elements of a Mastermind
A mastermind can really take whatever shape & form is desired by the participants. In John’s vast experience with mastermind groups, he’s found that the following are essential elements:
- Invocation – a spiritual element to call on a higher power to join and be present
- Sharing – revealing what’s new & good starts a mastermind off on a positive note
- In-depth Discussion – time to share what’s on your mind and seek and offer input
- Gratitude – ending the call on a positive note and giving thanks as people go forth
