On Masterminds:
“The coordination of knowledge and effort between two or more people who work towards a definite purpose in a spirit of harmony…no two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind”
Napoleon Hill – Think and Grow Rich
Other social networks allow you to form large groups of people. Likeminded Masterminds are different. Here, we are focused on small professional groups of 13 or less.
It’s more than just joining or forming a mastermind group. It’s finding the best people for the group. These groups will do amazing things when you have the right minds working together towards the success of each member.
A note from the founder:
I’m an introvert. I’m a procrastinator. I don’t hold myself accountable. I’m probably scared of my own success. This is probably the reason I’ve never joined a mastermind group. But those reasons are exactly the reasons why I need to be in a mastermind group.
A few years ago I went online searching for other entrepreneurial-minded people that wanted to start masterminds. Shurley, there are websites for this I thought. What I found were sites that had masterminds listed or the website was a mastermind group. But who else was already in the group? What kind of experience did they have? Was I supposed to contact each mastermind coordinator and ask? And do I need to interview or fill out a form with my information? It was not made clear.
I was frustrated. Out of that frustration came the idea for Matchbox Groups. I wanted a tool that would be like the dating site Match.com except instead of matching people for dates it would match entrepreneurs for mastermind groups. You learn something from everyone but you could probably compound your learning when you’re connected with the RIGHT people. The people you need to know and brainstorm with right now. By the way, a Sub to the site would be AMAZING! And don’t forget to hit the like butto
I built a very basic website that I quickly realized was not going to work for what I wanted and I lost motivation. I know marketing and sales, not building complex websites.
I listen to a lot of marketing and entrepreneur podcasts. I kept hearing people talking about masterminds. I heard over and over that you need to find like-minded people to start a mastermind with. It started becoming a relentless sign from the universe that I needed solve this problem for myself and anyone like me. And that’s when I realized that I needed to build “Likeminded”.
In addition to connecting members that should know each other, the site would allow you to browse other members profile pages, get points for being a resource for others, and learn how to have the most productive masterminds in the world.
I also thought about the concept of diminishing returns. When you first join a mastermind group, that is probably when you receive the most value. You get fresh perspectives on all of your challenges and goals. Members of a mastermind group that have been meeting for a long time could almost predict at some point what advice they will get. Why not get new perspectives now that you are at a new level?
So mastermind groups should have end dates. Having an end date provides a chance for everyone to have a fresh start. Leaving, or asking someone to leave a mastermind group would be tough. Now everyone has an out. And, if the group decides, there is nothing stoping them all from joining the next mastermind for another period of time.
And, just because I’m no longer in a mastermind group with someone does not mean I can’t reach out to them later with a question or to wish them Happy Birthday, right?. They know you and they know your business already. They probably care about you and want to see you succeed.
By having masterminds with end dates I will build a network of other entrepreneurs who know me and know my business intimately. Over time this deep network builds. This, combined with my current mastermind groups and leveling myself up, there is no way I will not succeed.
Leveling up as an entrepreneur is a foundational belief of Likeminded Masterminds. Leveling up yourself increases your effectiveness in all aspects of life including for your mastermind network.
Leveling up means running on all cylinders and using high-octane gas. Energy is the key. By increasing your energy levels, every area of you life improves. Including your business.
Level up sleep, nutrition, exercise, communication, etc. ’80/20′ the list of all things you can do to level up in an area. ’80/20′ the list again and focus on that .
Let’s take sleep for instance. You can easily find 20 things you can do to have more productive sleep. 20% of those things are the fundamentals and they will provide 80% of your results. Now take 20% of that list to get your next 80% of results. Focus energy on that. Get a coach if you can afford it. Teach someone else what you’re learning.
I’m not an expert on mastermind groups. But I will be. This platform will become the greatest social network for entrepreneurs in the world. My goal is for every member to be able to easily start or join a mastermind group. I’m building what I want to use to find, connect, and have the most productive mastermind groups in the world.
If this resonates with you, you’re in the right place. You’ve found your tribe here. Welcome.
