Mastermind Group Success Factors

I came across an article by John Carpenter Dealey recently on Factors for Success in Using a MasterMind Group and thought I would share some of the key points with you:

• You should see a group of people who are optimistic and have positive "can-do" attitudes.
  
  
• When participating in a a mastermind group, each member shares information with the others.
  
  
• Mastermind works best when members have different backgrounds, occupations, hobbies, etc.
  
  
• With every mastermind group, you have a leader or a facilitator, who directs the meeting, keeps the group focused and makes sure everything, runs smoothly.
  
  
• Meeting on a regular basis helps keep the lines of communication open.
  
  
• Those who do belong to a mastermind group and use it regularly recognize the true value that comes from developing such a marvelous support group.
  
  
• Actively participating in a mastermind group can make your life even better and more enjoyable for you.
  
  
• With the right people on your team, you can reach your dream. As Walt Disney put it so well: "You can have the most beautiful dream in the world, but it takes people to build it."
