Choosing Members for Your Master Mind Group

Monday, December 12th, 2011
One of the downfalls with collecting a group of people is that eventually they break off into cliques. When a group is small, the entire group can become it's own "clique". This doesn't allow a lot of room for personal growth because members will conform to the group norm versus exploring their individuality. So, who do you choose to be in your group and how do you choose them? Is it better to have a little or a lot in common with other members? In my experience, it's more effective if you know very little about your prospective group members because then you are free of expectations and stereotypes about them and they won't keep you bound to your past because they don't know the entire history of your ups and downs. Before I started my very first Master Mind group, I met with "Larry", a man who had many years of Master Mind experience. He gave me several bits of advice.  One thing he said was that mixed sex groups are not recommended and neither is a group of family members recommended. The main thing that each person in a Master Mind group should have in common is a vested interest in having a Master Mind group and the willingness to show up and to support others. It is not necessary for these members to have similar lifestyles, or religious beliefs. What's more important is to find people who will show up. You can't have a group without people. The reason Larry said not to have a mixed sex group is so there will be no hidden agenda between group members. Also, mixed sex groups and groups with family members have the same potential downfall: we bound people to stereotypes and we bound ourselves to the stereotypes other people have about us. If you follow the recommended format for the group and abide by the spirit of Master Minding, you will feel unbound and supported. You'll have the strength you need to realize your vision.

Master Mind Groups are Leaderless and Build a Sense of Equality

Monday, November 28th, 2011
Master Mind groups are leaderless groups.  Meaning there is no authority figure, all group members are equal and take turns sharing group roles and responsibilities.  This type of set-up builds cohesiveness and a sense of equality. The Master Mind principle is based on the concept of a collective and expansive mind.  We don't believe that any one person has all the answers...and definitely not all the answers for us. We find that we each have to come to our own conclusions about how we'll do things based on our own unique life circumstances and values. In my current Master Mind groups: Savvy Soul Sisters and WE-WOW we all have goals related to our speaking, writing, and internet marketing careers but we have different plans for the ways we will carry out our vision.  We do it the way that matches us.  We don't tell others how to do it. It's really none of our business how other adult people run their lives. I taught group dynamics in college. Several factors make a difference in group success including location, time and the composition of members personalities.  In my Master Mind training kit I help you anticipate any group issues that might come up so you can handle them before they become a problem.

Master Mind Tips: Start Where You Are, Learn From Each Other

Monday, March 14th, 2011
As a Master Mind member, you learn to start where you are and to do things daily to move in the direction you desire. You don't have to have any special degrees, you simply make a conscious effort to reach for the things you want versus waiting for something on the outside to change. The way we format our Master Mind group is that we start by sharing successes, then we share goals. Sometimes we learn from each other about the best way to describe our goal. The way one person communicates it helps it become more clear in our own mind. Our group has helped us to build friendships and we do things with each other outside the group such as support art openings and book signings or help each other practice for a speech. Sometimes the only supportive people in my life were Master Mind partners. When I told people my goals, they would say "that's not possible". Many people live from fear, they tell you, "you can't do it" and if that's all you hear, you believe it. But Master Minding can help you create the support group you need. If you have people who believe in you or at the very least don't blindly criticize you, it's amazing how much you can do. Click here to listen to the audio if you don't see the player below.
