A Mastermind group is a “must have” for any online marketing business.

Why? You Ask? Empower Network Badass Imagine for a moment, and I’m not saying this is you, but play along, ok? You wake up and check your analytics for your blog site and you see you have no traffic….still! You look at your autoresponder and see that there has been no signups….still. “I’ve been doing everything!” you say to yourself. Have you?

In the infamous words of J.Paul Ghetty “I’d rather have 1% of the effort of 100 men than 100% of my own effort.” And this is where your Mastermind Group can help. So What Is A Mastermind Group? Empower Network Mastermind Group From the definition of Napoleon Hill, in his infamous book “Think And Grow Rich”, he first defined the mastermind as a “coordination of knowledge and effort, in spiritual harmo

One of the main keys to your mastermind group is that the group has to be of “like mind” meaning they are all working towards the same goal.

A more recent book describing the power of such a group comes from Jack Canfield, author of “The Success Principles” and co-author of “Chicken Soup For The Soul”. Mr. Canfield has also been and strong advocate of the principles of a mastermind group. He described it as “one of the most powerful tools used by successful people.” How Do I Create A Mastermind Group for my Online Business? Cash Gifting Does It work Your work as an online marketer is social first. You start by building relationships. No one want’s to be sold to, but everyone wants to buy something. If your business is about only selling to your contacts, then you’re missing the point. A major point! A mastermind group is easy to build and it starts with building relationships. You begin to build the group from people you already know that can contribute to the success of the overall business and who have talents and successes of their own that they are willing to contribute.

As you build your business and make new contacts through your marketing efforts, leaders in your business will begin to emerge. These people should become part of your “inner cirlce” or mastermind group.

Thankfully through the power of social media sites, creating a meeting place for your online mastermind group, is very easy. One place to host such gatherings is Facebook. By using the group function in Facebook, you can create a centralized place where your group can gather and share information. You can keep the group closed or open, meaning only members woudl be able to see who’s in the group and what they’re talking about if you keep it closed. There are other settings to create more openness but also allowing you to maintain control over who’s posting to the group. How Big Should My Mastermind Group Be?

Ideally, your size should start out with five to six people. It can be as large or as small as you wish. Keep one thing in mind though. If your group gets too large, it can splinter and lose focus. You want to make sure you maintain a group size that is managable and productive to all of its members.

The social atmosphere today is much different than in Napoleon Hill’s time of 1937. Most people aren’t looking for stringent structure but rather a “structured looseness” that allows freedom of expression. This is how the best ideas are brought to the forefront. So what I’m saying here is that I wouldn’t go so far as to always having an agenda or specific meeting times etc. but would rather focus on a “topic of the week” and encourage participation by asking members to comment on the topic. With social media and facebook groups these topics will be categorized automatically through the conversations, where anyone in the group would be able to search at a later date.

Over time, your mastermind group will grow with volumes of valuable insights for your online business. Through membership participation, all of your members will benefit from one another, and everyone’s online business will grow and prosper.
