The Mastermind Group concept originated in the early 1900's based on Napoleon Hill’s book "Think and Grow Rich." He defined the Mastermind principle as: "coordination of knowledge and effort by two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose in the spirit of harmony."
The Mastermind Group involves:
• Synergy of energy, commitment, and excitement that participants bring to each group meeting.
• A format where participants raise the bar by supporting each other to achieve professional objectives, brainstorm ideas, all with total honesty, respect and compassion.
• Mastermind participants act as catalysts for professional growth.
The Mastermind Group is: • A mastermind is a focused group of goal-driven individuals who come together in pursuit of personal and professional growth through collaboration, shared knowledge, and mutual accountability. The cornerstone of any mastermind is self-mastery—the commitment to understanding and improving oneself in order to lead effectively and reach new levels of success. By integrating self-mastery into the mastermind experience, participants not only gain valuable insights and strategies from the group but also deepen their own self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and decision-making capabilities. Through consistent meetings, members set clear objectives, tackle challenges with group support, and harness their inner strengths to drive lasting results. This powerful combination of collective wisdom and personal growth helps each participant reach new heights in both your profession / business and life.
