What is a Mastermind group to you?

Someone asked me the other day what a MasterMind group is. The answer has evolved for me over the past few years I've been involved with one. At the beginning I would have said it was a group of people who were determined to advance their careers and enhance their lifestyles through meeting with other like-minded people. A simple answer, but that is what I believe my MasterMind friends thought of our group too.

Today, I'd say a MasterMind group is an important part of society that influences and affects various parts of culture as much as its members can undertake to become involved.

In other words it is more altruistic as well as self-serving.

Today my MasterMind friends are writing books for children and developing businesses to enhance people's health. I've also written books for children and started a charity to distribute caps to people who lose hair for medical reasons, such as cancer or burns.

Sure, we'd all like to make money while we're doing these tasks, but I know from spending much time with my group that we really see the good in helping others with our talents and interests.

These changes didn't develop overnight. None of us were in the midst of these plans when we started the group. It's pretty exciting to think where we could go if we continue to help people.

Have your goals altered somewhat since joining a MasterMind group? If not, maybe its time to think of how you can help other people with some of your plans. You'll never regret it.
