Have An Area For Members To Share Resources Between Meetings

6 months into my first Mastermind Group I asked the members what I could do to make the groups even better. A common response was having an area where they could connect with each other and share resources in between meetings.

In our meetings the members are frequently referring to contacts, websites, tools, books, and other information that have helped them grow their businesses. They recommend the best places to go, the best people to use and the best ideas that they have leveraged.

The members loved the wealth of resources. The problem was if you did not take down the information on the spot it would be lost. Members would often email me asking for the name of website of an item that was discussed at a meeting three months ago.

We solved this problem by creating a section in our members only online forum off our website. Each member now gets a login and a password that gives them access to the forums. After members share their valuable tips in the meetings they can post it online for everyone else to refer to at any point in the future.

Some of the three groups that I run use this feature more than the others but it has proven to be an effective way to keep all of our information together and have it as a place for people to come back to and connect with in between meetings.

The tools are free to set up and are fairly easy to use. I would recommend that every Mastermind Group have an online tool for the members to share their resources with each other and add more value to the group.
