Since I've never heard anyone else talk about this or read about it, though I am sure they must have, I gave this exercise my own name, "Mastermind Intensive."

Here's how it goes:

1. The mastermind group chooses a member to focus on.

2. The individual comes to the mastermind group with a single problem that needs a solution to present to the group. It should be a problem that is seemingly impossible.

3. The group spends all or a large portion of the meeting on brainstorming a solution or a list of options to solving the problem.

4. Depending on the nature of the problem, more than one person can be the focus of a Mastermind Intensive during the same meeting.

There is tremendous power in focused energy. When there is a collective of like minds that come together to create a force of focused energy towards the discovery of a solution, there is a blend of background and experience applied, resulting in the most amazing and creative answers.

The one rule is that everyone must participate and none of the discussion of ideas should be on how or why an idea won't work.

If your group meets weekly then conduction an intensive might be a technique that can be used monthly
