Cameron Johnson on Mastermind Groups

Cameron Johnson is one of the hottest things going in young entrepreneurship. Now 22, Cameron has been featured in over two-hundred newspapers, magazines and television stations worldwide discussing entrepreneurship and small business success.

In a recent interview with Ralph Zuranski, Cameron touched on the importance of Mastermind Groups:

Ralph Zuranski: How important is it to have trusted friends or a mastermind group to bounce your ideas off?

Cameron Johnson: I think it is so important that you have trusted friends. First of all, if you have friends you can't trust, then you can't bounce an idea off of them. You have to be able to trust your friends, and your friends also need to be able to trust you, likewise.

I think a mastermind group is so rewarding, because it is not just rewarding to you to be the center of that group, but it is rewarding to everyone who gets to participate. I am a participant in several mastermind groups, and I have one myself.

It is so rewarding to just bounce ideas off for each other and help all of us move forward and be more successful. I think it is also probably one of the most important things you can do, and the most cost effective, to bounce an idea off of someone before you spend the money or go out and write the check to do it. So I think mastermind groups are so rewarding and so valuable.

Ralph Zuranski: Well, how did they make a positive difference in your life?

Cameron Johnson: I think they save you a lot of time! They save you a lot of time from trial and error. You can read books about things that have worked and things that haven't, and you can also ask people that have been in that exact same situation.

You can see what decisions they made and whether they would agree that they were the right decisions or the wrong decisions. You can use that advice to move forward, and hopefully to make better decisions in your life, and to save time.

Because we are only here for a certain amount of time, so we need to be as effective as we can be. So I think that is exactly how they can make a positive difference every day.
