I am blessed to be a part of a highly organized mastermind that focuses on accountability and Growing each others business. I wanted to give some tips to Contractors who have thought about Mastermind groups. These tips will make your mastermind blossom with ideas.
1. Choose the right fit: I interviewed 21 people before choosing the right players for our group. I focused on what others could bring to the table that I didn't posses and vice/versa. We all have similar personalities but, were very distinctly different. All different trades.
2. Get Organized: Have the schedule set and agenda sent out ahead of time. Here is what works best for us and will work for you.
A) Meeting Organizer-We choose to rotate monthly. 5-7 in group. Meet Weekly or Bi Weekly.
B) Tell us your win this past week- Give each other about 3 minutes each or pass if you have no win.
C) Hot Seat-This is the focus of the meeting. Someone from within the group explains the challenge their facing and each person take a turn giving their opinion. 30 minutes total
D) AHA Moment-This is not just for Opera, give something of value during the AHA moment Example: New technology, Marketing, Sales Tip. 2 minutes each
3. Accountability: Once your in, you have to make meetings. Missing throws everything off. Too many misses and your out.
4. Take notes: I personally record all my Masterminds. Some of the info talked about is so rich I have to listen twice. Plus taking notes makes you engaged in conversation. I have personally taken away several ideas worth six figures or more overtime.
5. Have Fun: We meet for breakfast and we meet for lunch sometimes. Relax environment and the creativity goes through roof.
I have attached the meeting agenda that we use with some notes here: http://static.smartpassiveincome.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Mastermind-Structure.pdf
