THE BIRTH OF A MASTERMIND GROUP

One of my mottos has always been. "lead, follow, or get the f..k out of my way!" So afer looking around for any Mastermind Groups in the South Florida region and coming up empty, I decided to start my own. My experience has taught me that any group must have a strong nucleus if it is going to flourish and have any longevity. I put a notice in the Business section of the Sun Sentinel and hoped for the best.
As the date I set for the first meeting approached and no one called I began to brainstorm on alternate ideas for recruitment. Then it happened! I received 2 calls from interested parties and will be meeting with one of them tomorrow to begin the process. His name is Carlos and he appears to be sharp and expressed a enthusiastic interest in getting involved with the group. I also spoke to Ben who works odd hours and cannot make this first exploratory meeting but asked for a report which I gladly will provide.
It dawned on me after talking with these gentlemen that I would need to define the parameters for the kind of people I ideally would want to populate the group with. My ideal group would be highly intelligent and creative individuals who have at least some experience in the utilization of Internet marketing as the primary vehicle for the promotion and selling of a product or service. It would be great if these people shared a common thirst for leading edge knowledge of marketing trends and methodologies so that we challenged each other, in a healthy way, to vie to be the alpha dog.
I beleive that the group's power and ultimately success will be contingent on our resolve and the benefits that we derive from meeting with each other. Healthy and abundant contribution is a requisite to attract quality candidates. It will probablye be necessary to work these details out with Carlos when we meet tomorrow. The only hope I have is that he posesses those traits described above.
More will be revealed!
Stay tuned....MLL
