Master Mind? Master Success!

Written By Julie Entwistle MBA, BSc (OT), BSc.

Master Mind is the coordination of knowledge and effort in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose.

So, you want more knowledge, skills, or abilities? You want to apply these to your life and your business? Well, you have three choices. You can experiment and leverage your own personal experience. You can benefit from the experience of a group or collective. Or you can leverage infinite intelligence through your superconscious mind (discussed previously).

Understanding the Master Mind

Napolean Hill defines the Master Mind this way: Master Mind is the coordination of knowledge and effort in a spirit of harmony, between two or more people, for the attainment of a definite purpose. The Master Mind has two purposes:

  • One economic

  • One psychic (yes, psychic).

Economic advantages flow to those who surround themselves with others who help each other. Psychic advantages result from the energy that flows between people through the mind, like two batteries joined.

Master Minds are famously cited in history as helping people like Andrew Carnegie and Henry Ford achieve greatness in their careers.

Forming a Master Mind Group

So, how can you form one? First, you need to decide the particulars of the group you want and need. Number? Skills? Positive mental attitude? Able to contribute? New perspective?

Make some rules for your group and a potential list of people and when you contacted them.

Once formed, meet regularly. Calls, virtually, in-person. That doesn’t matter, but have each member come prepared to discuss a problem, issue, or goal.
