I get this questions a lot, "How do I start a Mastermind Group?"

It really all starts with you. If you think the power of a focused team can help you either personally or professionally, start doing some legwork. Get out there and talk to your network of contacts. Who else would be interested? Do you have potential members in mind?
In addition to those questions, here are three things that will set you on the right path:

What's the theme?: Figure out what you want your Mastermind Group to be about. Will it help small business owners grow their businesses? Will it help divorced women find the strength to re-enter the workforce? Basically, what will your group's mission be?

Find Like-Minded Members: I like having Mastermind Group members with varied talents. It helps the flavor of the group and keeps it from going stale. What you must have are members that want to contribute and have a vested interest in seeing fellow members succeed. Nothing can kill a Mastermind Group like a selfish member who thinks the group is only for their sole benefit. Weed out those chumps with a vigorous application and interview process.

Meet Regularly: My own personal Mastermind Group meets every week for two hours. We've only missed three meetings in the last ten months. Why? Because we all want to be there. There's always a new lesson to learn no matter who's in the hotseat. You don't have to meet every week (weekly works well for us), but make it a scheduled event. Whether it's every week or once a month, put it on you calenders and don't miss it.

In upcoming updates we'll talk more about forming a Mastermind Group and how to facilitate it and keep meeting lively.
