The concept of a mastermind group (also called a "master mind alliance" or "peer advisory board") was brought to world attention by Napoleon Hill in his wonderful book, Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937 during the Great Depression. The wisdom in this book still rings true today. But mastermind alliances have been around since the beginning of humankind. Benjamin Franklin was part of such a team, which he called a Junta. The Greeks used the same concept, as did Thomas Edison.
By the way, did you know that Napoleon Hill did a 13-part TV series to talk about his ideas about success? It's wonderful to see and hear him in his own words. Watch it here.
Your peers and the facilitator give you feedback, help you brainstorm new possibilities, and set up accountability structures that keep you focused and on track. Join a community of supportive colleagues who brainstorm together to move everyone to new heights. Create success on your own terms!
