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.

                                                 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!

Charita, I did go to the facebook site and join Bananatude there and a friendly reminder, you need to do the same!  I am conflicted.  I want to do the mastermind class but I have a business and a life.  I have dropped social sites I wasn't maximising and I may need to drop more.  I honestly don't know if I have time for another project.  Even if it is beneficial.  Thinking....

Marge I totally understand Marge about being busy.  The Mastermind groups are only for those that have the time to participate. Can't participate.  No worries and definitely don't be conflicted. We understand completely.

Charita - this is a great post but I am with Marge in wondering if I have the time for it.....I spend a couple of hours a day right here and just don't know if I can add something else and still be successful in my business (and keep the family talking to me).......

Charita, have to lol at this because my mind was thinking the same thing. We are so busy that I am trying to be more organized just to keep up. I was in  one of Ralph's groups last year and we disbanded after two posts because it was so much work. This sounds like a more relaxed idea and I think it probably will work better.

Charita, I've taken part of a Master-Mind group.  I can tell you, with a slight bias, it works!  There is nothing like having a friend hold your feet to the fire for your growth.

Barbara Jo and Sharon, I am sure that there are many that feel the same way.  I think that goal is that the Mastermind group will benefit those who need or want it.  Trust me, I know busy so I certainly understand your position.

Ron I used to perticipate in the AR Mastermind Group and like you, I learned a lot.  It was actually a monthly contest and I think that there were five or 6 of us in a group.  It was very enlightening.
