Criteria For A Mastermind Group

I came across a press release today from the National Association of Women Business Owners who are recruiting for a Mastermind Group initiative.

There are two things that I liked about this release.

The first is that they outlined some of the benefits / criteria for joining which were:
--wish you had a board of advisors whose expertise and advice you can trust
--welcome support from like-minded business owners
--wonder if you're making the right business decisions
--would like to grow your business but aren't sure how
--want to feel re-energized and motivated

The second is the way that they recruit members. They hold an event to introduce the Mastermind concept to people. It's over breakfast where everyone pays for their own meal. Reservations are not required and it's a chance for the potential members to meet the organizers and understand how it works.

I always do my meetings one on one after the candidate has had a chance to review the website. I find that is it more personal and easier to screen to see if the candidate would be a good fit or not but this is an interesting approach and one I thought worth sharing!
