The power of the mastermind group is unmatched, the search for its members, unending. There are only so many hours in a day and only so much information you can acquire yourself. Thus, you must rely on the skills and information acquired by others. Whether they provide the advice upon which you base your legal decisions or your financial ones, whether they can provide costing or sourcing information.

Anything that you venture requires is going to have to be provided by you. You must have a mastermind group in order to be informed enough to provide it.

You should therefore ensure that your mastermind group represents all areas of your business and that you can turn to them individually or collectively for their input at any time. One person can never hope to collect the knowledge that a larger group has spent years accumulating.

To further illustrate this point, your job as an entrepreneur, is to become the finest generalist you can become, someone who knows a little about each of the functions of your business. Your Mastermind group therefore must be made up of the finest specialists you know or can afford. On this point, specialist advice is not always cheap, so you should not be either. Hire and defer to the best. Put the leaders in their space on retainer if you must.

Ultimately your success in your venture depends upon the quality of the advice and support received from the specialists in your Mastermind Group.

The power of many is far, far greater than the power of one.
