Hello Readers,
Yesterday, I held a Discovery Mastermind Day for my Glazer-Kennedy No BS group in Phoenix.
Since I was presenting to brilliant group of business people, I did my homework on the
Mastermind concept.
I am sure most of you have read Napoleon Hill's "Think and Grow Rich". To refresh your memory, in the early 1900's, Andrew Carnegie, our country's first billionaire, challenged Hill to interview the worlds wealthiest men to see what they had in common. Carnegie did not pay Hill but did get him the proper introductions.
The list of people he interviewed was a "who's who" of American business history. Men like Ford, Firestone, and Edison were on the list.
Hill found 19 common traits the world's wealthiest men had in common. Hill's top five were
Burning Desire, Specialized Knowledge, Be Decisive in Nature, Be Goal Orientated, and most importantly, Belong to a Mastermind Group. In fact Carnegie, Ford, Firestone, and Edison all were in the same Mastermind group.
He reported that a group of 10 men had the mental power, not of 10 minds, but of 100 or more.
My personal mentor, Dan Kennedy, says that the biggest reason for his success and the success of his most prosperous clients is belonging to mastermind groups.
If you are not in one, find one made up of high quality people and raise the bar for yourself and your business.
Until next time,
Chuck Trautman
