Create your own mastermind

There are two important things you have to learn to do if you’re going to do anything of any real significance.  One is that you must be “on purpose”!  I mean you have to have a burning desire to fulfill some God-created need or passion.  And the other is that you must mastermind.

You see,

None of us know enough to accomplish anything of any real significance on our own. We need the assistance of other people.  That’s why MasterMinding plays such an important role.  Bob Proctor

To help you make calls asking experts and others to join your mastermind group, start with a script that will help you stay focused and talk about the benefits and value the group will have in your prospect’s life if they would participate.

I used this script having learned it from Jack Canfield. I must admit, my delivery was not the best put I tried. Now I have a couple of masterminds and I’m part of a few that I pay into as well.

Example:

Hi, David.  My name is Katie Silver.

I’m a business owner for an international logistic center that services clients all over the world.  We specifically help build large construction projects such as the 8.5 billion dollar City Center in Las Vegas, NV by supplying them tools and supplies that they need to get the job done.  Though I’m just starting out, I’ve gotten some interest from a number of people in forming a mastermind group that would help us access new resources and discover new solutions and perspectives that we probably haven’t thought of before.

I especially wanted you to be in the group.  I believe you’d get a lot of value out of it and I’m not sure that you have your own mastermind group yet.  Can I put you down on my list?

The group would meet every other week to brainstorm on each other’s challenges.  We can do it in person, or the group might decide to meet by phone instead.

If you could have 5-6 other prominent CEO’s working on your company’s challenges or even your personal ones, would that be something you would set aside an hour a week for?  Charles Starr has already agreed to be involved.  I’m not sure if you know him.

PS. Next I’ll be showing you how to pick members of your mastermind.  This step is a little more difficult for most people because it does require courage to step outside of your comfort zone (just a little bit) to give yourself a chance to open a whole new world up to you
