Mastering Your Mind… and MasterMinds!

Saturday, July 17th, 2010 at 7:14 AM

So like I said in my last post, the No Excuses Summit in Vegas last weekend was incredible. One of my favorite parts was being able to meet and network with all of the other top internet marketers that I see online every day.

As I was talking with David Wood, who recently dethroned Cedrick Harris as the top earner in the number one attraction marketing system on the planet (MLSP) we came to the subject of mastermind groups and why they are so important in helping burgeoning internet and network marketers succeed in today’s market.

You may be wondering exactly what a “Master Mind” is. According to Napoleon Hill, author of Think and Grow Rich (as well as a slew of other great books), it is defined as the “coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people for the attainment of a definite purpose”.

Here’s the bottom line. Two heads are better than one.

I don’t care if you are a freaking Einstein, you will be able to achieve more through the power of a mastermind alliance.

One of the kind or freaky things about a master mind group is that when you put your heads together, it is more like multiplication than addition. (However, when you are doing mastermind multiplication, 1X1=3. Keep reading to see what I mean…)

Let me begin my explanation of “Master Mind Multiplication” with another quote from Think and Grow Rich, which by the way I would highly recommend checking out from your local library if you haven’t already read it.

“No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind.”

Are you picturing Siamese triplets right now?

Well quit it because that’s not what he meant.

The best way to understand Hill’s definition is through what I like to call “Master Mind Multiplication”…

Now this explanation doesn’t really work if you are just multiplying the number of minds that are coming together, because clearly one times one is really only one. But if you look at it in a little bit of a different light, and multiply the contents of the minds instead of the minds themselves, you will start to understand how it works a little better. (Hopefully the quantified contents of the minds are not in the single digits. Sorry for my math nerdiness…)

For whatever reason, two minds together are more powerful than the same two minds apart. Here are some of my theories for why this is (which is really not new information).

Beside the whole point of the freaky third head popping out of thin are, some of the benefits of a mastermind group include the accountability and support that come with it. One of the simplest reasons that people get more done in mastermind groups is because they have somebody else that knows their goals and desires, and not only encourages them to achieve them, but holds them accountable when they don’t.

Just those tangible benefits alone should be enough to make you want to go out and create a mastermind group this second, but the real power of a mastermind comes from what Napoleon Hill was talking about in his book. I wish I could explain it better than I already have, but I’m afraid I don’t even quite understand exactly how or why it works 100%.

This, however, I do understand – there is no faster way to accomplish your goals than by creating an alliance with somebody that has harmonious goals and that can also benefit from teaming up with you.

If you want to learn more about masterminds, I recommend getting your hands on a copy of Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich, or better yet, find yourself a mastermind group to be a part of. There’s no better way to learn than through experience itself. You can even create your own group, just be careful about who you choose to be a part of it.
