What will joining a mastermind do for you?
More and more people are talking about masterminds these days. It’s not a new concept. Napoleon Hill wrote about it in Think and Grow Rich. As a matter of fact, you can read Think and Grow Rich right here on this site. If you haven’t opened it up in a long time – or if you’ve never read it – I guarantee you that applying the concepts and strategies you learn in those pages will change your life.
But what’s in it for you? Unless you’re a particular kind of person, you’re not going to join a mastermind group simply because others are talking about it. But when you discover how being in a mastermind group changes your perspective and your life, , you will want to know more about how to join one.
Synergy – MasterMind – The Third Mind
The concept behind a mastermind is simple. Where 2 or more are gathered for their mutual increase and prosperity, a higher mind or “third mind” comes to being. No, it’s not another person or “entity”, but it is a good energy that unites them. the synergy that happens because of working together is greater than the two could have devised independently. Resources, ideas and implementation strategies that you never could have thought up on your own come together in the presence of the higher mind.
Heres an example from my own life. (personal narrative example). My friend Rhonda Cort was looking for ways to attract new clients, and we got to talking about shoes. You would never imagine it, but shoes actually gave me a cool and fun idea that she is implementing.

Do you think before you forward an email? Does it occur to you to look at the story being perpetuated in the virtual missive? Or do you just toss any old message around.
I love to share strategies for how to tell a story that magnetizes all the right people to you.
I love my friend Donna. I truly do. However, my friend drives me NUTS with her “God mails” and prayer chains. I believe in the power of minds and hearts united, but I simply don’t have the bandwidth for those “don’t break the prayer chain or you’re a horrid excuse for a human being” messages.
Yet every once in a while, I get an email that captures my attention. One in particular stopped me in my tracks because of the view of blindness it portrayed.
I’m sure the original sender simply chuckled about the marketing message. What about you?
When you think of how to tell a story, what do you think of this tale of the blind man.

Do you think before you send – or do you just forward. This article will get you thinking not only about how to tell a story, but about how stories shape lives.
What Do the Stories You Tell REALLY Mean?
By Ronda Del Boccio
Did you ever stop and think about what stories you repeat, either aloud or by forwarding an email? What is the message? Here is one I received a few days ago:
The Blind Man, author unknown
One day, there was a blind man sitting on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet and a sign that read: “I am blind, please help.” A creative publicist was walking by and stopped to observe. He saw that the blind man had only a few coins in his hat. He dropped in more coins and, without asking for permission, took the sign and rewrote it. He returned the sign to the blind man and left. That afternoon the publicist returned to the blind man and noticed that his hat was full of bills and coins.
The blind man recognized his footsteps and asked if it was he who had rewritten his sign and wanted to know what he had written on it.

“I wish I had more hours in the day!”
Have you said this – or thought it – recently? There is no “more time” pill to swallow, however, I can show you how to gain back time you are currently wasting – after you read this story.
When I was at JV alert Live, in Washington, D. D. Stephanie Frank shared an awesome story that really got me thinking – and taking inspired action.
She talked about a time when she was working for a company (VS working for herself). One morning, she was focused on completing a project that would bring her five figures for that morning’s work. Someone came in and asked her how to make coffee. Like me, Stephanie is particular that her coffee should be made properly. She got up and stomped toward the coffee pot.
Suddenly she stopped in her tracks and realized that she had been making money, and now she was going to make coffee.
What did she do? She took out paper and pen and wrote meticulously detailed instructions for making coffee. Then she taped it to a cupboard door where the coffee supplies lived and told her colleague that’s how to make coffee. And then she went back to making money.
What she realized and now teaches is that a huge part of productivity is determined not only by how efficiently you complete tasks, but how efficiently you master the best use of your time. The coffee story (personal narrative examples from Stephanie Frank), demonstrates a trap you might be falling into. I know I have.
And what Stephanie taught me caused me to take inspired action the next day I sat at my home office desk. I gave myself the gift of more hours in the day. My most effective task had to do with email. One action that took me no more than a minute cleared my inbox of 1500 emails permanently.
