Chapter 10 Power of the Mastermind
There is greatness all around you--use it. It is easy to be great when you get around great people. -- Bob Richards
When two or more people coordinate in a spirit of harmony, and work toward a definite objective,
they place themselves in position, through that alliance, to absorb power directly
from the great universal storehouse of Infinite Intelligence -- Napoleon Hill
If you are a regular participant in this group chances are good you want a change in your life. This could be in the form of personal change, becoming more so you can be a change agent and leader that others want to follow. You may also be looking for a change in your business that requires learning new skills like social media or other forms of marketing and advertising. Or perhaps you are looking for tools to live a more positive life. Creating and using effective self talk is a good example.
Regardless of the changes you are looking for, you will need power to make them happen, and acquiring that kind of power requires you to go beyond what you can accomplish on your own and participate in a mastermind alliance of individuals operating in a spirit of harmony and working toward definite objectives.
When you join with at least one other mind in a mastermind alliance you can learn from each other through brainstorming ideas and sharing skills you may have acquired that make you better marketers or better people. In MFF the mastermind is a source of information about how to create effective self talk and how to repeat it daily with emotion to bring about improved life and business outcomes. Participants can also learn the best ways to contact people on social media and how to follow up with them and mentor them effectively if that is what they want.
The Mastermind is a source of power in other ways. Everyone who regularly participates in these calls has had a day that didn't go like they expected and maybe even felt a little down. But they got onto the call, interacted with the other minds and got a big emotional lift that turned their day around. It takes courage to speak up when you don't have a lot of energy, but that's all the more reason to do so and the payoff makes it worthwhile.
Mastermind alliances are also powerful because they help participants access power "directly from the great universal storehouse of Infinite Intelligence." Often when participants write their posts or when they speak up, they share something that surprises even them. Where did that idea come from? It came direct from Infinite Intelligence thanks to the power of the Mastermind where two minds acting in harmony generate more power together than the sum of their two individual minds can manage alone.
The 500+ powerful individuals that Hill interviewed for this book all had one thing in common: they participated in a mastermind alliance. It is no wonder they became some of the most wealthy and influential individuals of their time.
That same power is available to those of us who participate in this mastermind alliance by writing a lesson plan and speaking up on the calls.
