Napoleon Hill taught us the immense value contained in a Master Mind alliance. When two or more people apply their minds, in harmony, toward a shared goal they create an incremental 'force' that otherwise would never exist. The 'whole' is greater than the 'sum of the parts'. Truly successful business leaders know this to be true. They have lived the Master Mind experience and enjoyed the experience. They notice its absence when it fades...and even though it takes a tremendous amount of work to lead a Master Mind they crave its return.
We have seen Master Minds do tremendous good.
We have seen Master Minds do tremendous business. It’s all about people and how they can become inspired to desire and take desired action.
Your Master Mind can do tremendous business too.
We offer suggestions to help you with that.
First, you must create it…perhaps you will have to start with just two people…you, the leader, and one follower.
That’s not just OK: it is the best way to start.
Interpersonal harmony and like-mindedness are essential to building and growing a successful Master Mind Alliance.
The steps are:
- Determine the business you want to build
- Select one or more followers…people who align with your values, vision, major rules, and goals
- Ensure a meeting of the minds…on personal values, shared vision, major rules, and goals
- Work together to create plans
- Work in harmony
- Never criticize
- Meet frequently and make adjustments to plans
- Praise successful action
- Praise desired results
- Learn from failures, but don’t dwell on them
- Praise lessons learned
- Enforce the major rules, which we call Master Rules
- Pre-pave the paths
This is a lot of work.
If done properly, it is very pleasant and very fulfilling work.
