One of the things that I like to do with my Mastermind Groups is create a group identity. Each of the groups that I form end up having a name that characterizes the members in the group and what they want to accomplish. For example, the first group I have is called Prophets 2 Profits. It is a group of smart business owners who are helping each other generate more profits for their companies. Most of the members in this group are also young an tech savvy so the name is a play on the popular P2P (Peer to Peer) networks.
My second group is called The Focus Group as the members see the meetings as an opportunity to bounce ideas off of each other and brainstorm ideas to make their companies better. My third group is newly formed and we have not created an identity yet, but we will.
I find that creating a group identity is important to make the members feel like they belong to a special group. It also generates more buy-in and gets the group members more involved in the process.
In reading Michael Roby's blog, I found out that he also named his Mastermind Group. He calls it a "BDB Meeting" - short for Boys Doing Business.
