Want to Ramp up your Business Success in 2012?  Join a Mastermind Group

 

What is a MasterMind Group?  

 

Passion, energy, support, commitment, synergy, harmony……..are all words to describe a Powerful http://activerain.com/groups/BananaTudeMastermind coming together to create something bigger then themselves.  A mastermind will challenge members to create and accomplish ones goals, brainstorm for unique ways to build their businesses, and support each other with respect and honesty.

Think of your MasterMind group as your personal mentor/coach/best friend that will challenge you, praise you and kick your butt in a positive manner if need be.  Now that can be a little scary if you’ve never participated in a Powerful Mastermind.  I suggest that now is the time to get out on the edge – and jump into 2012 with passion!  By trusting the process you will discover more than you imagined possible within your mastermind group.

Join BananaTude Group 

 

 

                                                 Small Group Mastermind Guidelines

 

http://activerain.com/groups/BananaTudeParticipation from each member is a key element.  To chose members for your group think of those you know within the BananaTude group that are like you, that want to create more in their business and personal life and want to share their expertise with each other.   Keep your group small – the recommended number is between 4 to 6 members.  A smaller mastermind tends to create an optimum experience for all members and offers your mastermind a greater level of success throughout 2012.
 

Choose your Mastermind Partners Wisely!  Look for people that you know will participate fully and stick with the group for 2012. Ask them questions and be sure you have a similar mind-set before you agree to starting a group. Most likely you know several potential members right now....so give them a call and get rocking. It's up to you to form your group!

 

Once you have formed your Mastermind Group -  Email Anna Banana - the group members names.

 

Each Mastermind group will decide the Vision and Focus of the group. Perhaps you’ll have a challenging situation to discuss and get feedback and suggestions from your peers.  Or you might want to consider a topic that you all think about and share thoughts and ideas on and then blog on the topic either as a Mastermind group or individuals. The sky is the limit on ideas for topics for a Mastermind group.

 

Communication. You can email back and forth daily, weekly or whatever time works for all of your members.  Some groups may like to Skype or create a Hang out call on Google.  And there is always the old fashioned method, phone calls! Keep in mind that Communication from all members is the KEY to the success of your Mastermind group. Again, how and how often you communicate is up to your group.

 

                                                                 2 New Bananatude Activites for the Entire Group in 2012!

http://activerain.com/groups/BananaTude

 

1. Monthly Topic Discussions. We will develop monthly topics and invite each group and or each Bananatude member to think about and write a blog to share with each other on BananaTude.  You can do this as a Mastermind Group and/or as a individual member. Your choice!
 
2. Facebook Group for BananaTudes.  I have created a Facebook page for BananaTude Members Only.  It is a private group. Just like the AR group the Facebook group is a positive and respectful platform to share ideas and enjoy "coffee or happy hour time" together in relaxed manner. Please do share your thoughts, ideas, wisdom & humor freely!  
 
 
 
To Join BananaTude  - Log into Facebook -  Search for Banantudes -  Request to be a member
 
 
PS The Facebook BananaTude Group is NOT about telling the world how many listings or contracts you have going today - Please Don't go there!    WCID4U not WIFM or IIAAM!  
 
 
 
 
Bring on your Tude to Bananatude in 2012!

I agree with you Anna, you know the saying you are the sum of who you hang around with.  Mastermind is a great way to step it up and be creative in your business.

Chief Cook has been invited to a Mastermind group at least monthly.  Maybe I will point this out to her.  Thanks, Anna.

I meet with a mastermind group on the 3rd Tuesday morning at 7:30 am at a local restaurant.   Meeting early works good for us.

It It's To Be It's Up to YOU!

I see several folks who are interested - don't wait for somebody to contact you - reach out to other interested folks. Take Action and make it happen! You know the old saying - you snooze, you loose!

Anna, I told Charita I didn't think I had time for this right now, but YOU, you are the one person I have said that I would you could be my broker more than once :) This sounds less stressful that the group last year for the contest. Is it possible to 'audit'?

What a great time of year to be thinking about Masterminds.  It would be cool to have the members be in different parts of the U.S.  Kristine

Thanks for the thought and I will ponder on it. All these ideas are big pluses for many of us who need the occasional push to get the creativity flowing like it should. But for I have to be a banana split, running out the door for a quick appointment and then home to see the 49ers win. cheers cvc

Looking forward to it Anna, I'm in too. I admit I'm a little concerned about "time" but I think it's worth the effort.

Love the idea of joining a mastermind group Anna and particuarlly your idea of doing it with a Google Hangout.  It can definitely be lonely at top.  We're also working on helping people formnot go at it alone with our current startup, VocalTap, by connecting like-minded entrepreneurs together in regular video chats so that they can act as one another's personal board of advisors.  Be sure to check it out here -landing.vocaltap.com
