Two years ago, one of my amazing teachers,
The Fairy Godmother Donna Mc Callum, recommended I read a book called Think and
Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
This
book changed my life. In it he speaks about something called a “master mind alliance.” He goes on to
describe a mastermind group as, “A friendly alliance with one or more persons
who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.”
Why does he call it a master mind alliance,
compared to the more modern phrase, mastermind group? Hill originally said that
when two people got together, a third mind, the Master Mind, was created. To
him, it was a separate force in the conversation. Over the past 85 years, it’s
morphed from “master mind alliance” to “mastermind group,” but the meaning and
underlying principles are still the same.
To Hill mastermind groups are established to
help create an environment that nurtures and supports growth. He believed
that a harmonious groups of two or more people who come together for a specific
purpose, or around a specific topic, bring forth the power of creativity and
support that you can’t find when you go it alone.
I have since started my own Mastermind Group. A group of Femtrepeneurs who come together once a month and discuss business ideas, challenges, suggestions and proposals. They are all in different sectors of business and therefore the threat of somebody stealing their idea or stomping on their turf is the farthest thing from their mind.
In a large business, there are resources of minds and experience and a 'safe place' to think and brainstorm, as everybody is working towards a common goal. A similar destination.
A mastermind is your own resource. Your own board of Directors. There to challenge you, support you, learn with you and assist you to get real results.

Success is not for everyone. Neither is greatness. But the journey is compulsory so you may as well make it count!
Be kind to one another.
