Your Access to Achievement
A few years ago I read the book, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon
Hill. I remember being very intrigued by the title and wondered
"How could anyone grow rich just by thinking?
When I first began to grasp a fragment of what the book was
revealing about success, I was reading it again as a result
of a business I was working with. This time I noticed the
one element that was mentioned constantly throughout the book.
Have you read and discovered the one secret element within
the pages?
It's not bad to read a book and miss the point. But if you
read a book that is recommended by so many business-minded
people and you don't get the point, you may want to read again
until you get the point. Each time you read, you will receive
a deeper awareness of what is being offered by the book
This past year, from reading the book again, I completely
got the importance of having a mastermind team. It's not good
enough just to form a team. It is important to take some steps
to create the team in a way that builds a solid foundation
for complete loyalty and commitment.
How do you form a criteria for choosing team members?
It would take many pages to fully explain the dynamics
of a powerful mastermind team. Here are a few tips for you
to consider in your search for teammates:
- Write down what you wish to achieve, yourself. This goal
may be to have people hold each other accountable or it
may be to create a new business venture to create a specific
minimum of income. It may even be to create a non-profit
venture of some sort. It is important that you clearly know
what your own intention is from the beginning.
- Begin to attend business meetings where you get to observe
the participation of others. Are they consistent? Do they
move the conversation forward? Do they have skills that
may make a difference for what you wish to create? Do they
express similar goals without having heard yours?
- Look for people who are successful in what you wish to
create. This will bring velocity to your success.
- Be sure to include people who are at higher levels of
success than you are. They will be eager to participate
when they see your clear intention and your total commitment
to the intention.
It's okay to go it alone. You may achieve a few great things
alone. And if you can achieve a few great things alone, imagine
what you can achieve with a team of supportive people causing
you to have your dreams with more ease and velocity than you
ever thought possible.
If you have no failures, redefine your goals. They may be
too small. It may take time, but the big goals are the ones
that get you up bouncing in the mornings like when you were
a child. Remember?
