Power of the mastermind.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live. I have recently been rereading, Thinking Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

And this chapter I believe, chapter 10, that's titled, The power of the mastermind.

It's an interesting concept because it really comes down to the power of help from other people that have been through something similar, people who have enough experience that even if they don't have direct experience with the problem you're having, they may be able to give you a perspective that you would not have gotten otherwise, especially if you have more than one person at a time that you're talking to about what you're looking to do.

Now, if you're working with somebody, if you're talking to somebody, if you're with a group of people that have experience, these are the type of things that you want to expose. Or if you're helping somebody because this also is this goes both ways.

So you ought to try to pass on any type of help possible and you may think, Well, I haven't been successful enough, or I haven't done this or haven't done that. Or I'm not as as big as these guys, you have something, you have something that someone else doesn't have.

Even when I was just starting out with being self-employed, I had something that the person that's never been there, that's only ever been employed, I had something beyond what they had, even though I didn't have everything that I had.

So I could help somebody at least get past that hurdle.

The same thing with you, wherever you're at, try and be able to pass it on. But also when you're looking to get help, regardless of what end you're on it. You ought to be on both ends at the same time, you ought to be getting help and giving help. Here's some of the questions that you'll want to either answer or you'll want to ask somebody.

The first question would be, What are you most grateful for right now?

Especially if you're meeting with someone on a regular basis, you want them to be able to reflect on that straight off. Because that gets them in the frame of mind to be able to look for solutions that they've already have seen the solutions that have come into their life, so to speak. And so that that's a really important one.

The next one is, What are you wanting to do now or what are you in the middle of doing now?

What are you trying to accomplish?

What obstacle are you trying to get over, right now?

What's your focus?

Then from there, you kind of figure out what the main problem is that's holding them back.

From there you the real question is, Who do we know that can help you get over that?

So much of it goes back to the who. Because even the mastermind principle itself, the idea that you have groups of people that you can meet with that can help you come up with ideas, that's a whew factor.

You're looking for people to help you through it, instead of just trying to find a specific answer to something it's more important to find a who that can do it for you the WHO that can figure things out?

Or who that can even find the next person the next who is that who not how principle that Dan Sullivan talks about that wrote, he wrote the book on and everything else. So incredibly important, it's,
