Is There Real Power In a Mastermind Group?

Master Minding Answers Your Questions

POWER OF THE MASTER MIND; THE DRIVING FORCE:

Remember the expression, "Two heads are better than one"?
The expression is generally meant to mean two people have an easier time solving problems than one person trying to solve it alone. 

Imagine the power of many minds and what they bring to the table. Through our friendly alliance here on the mental cleanse, we become more powerful as we absorb knowledge, experience, problem solving and heightened energy! 

We come together with a "chief aim purpose" that we all share "in the spirit of harmony and cooperation" to attain our desires! At Mentoring For Free, we often hear the expression, enjoy the journey. I know I myself have expressed this many times over the course of my lessons. Tuula Rands brought up a very good point in here when she asks, "Do we really appreciate what we have here at Mentoring For Free?" Yes, I certainly do! I’d like to add to her question and ask, Do we trust the process that we go through on the mental cleanse? Are we willing to give ourselves time to experience the growth? 

If you believe, a month is all you need, that's fine, but Mr. Hill tells us that every successful person he interviewed belonged to a mastermind group that met on a regular basis, not only for 30 days. For me, it could not just be 30 days of growth as it took more than 30 days to just get past the thinking of lack mentality. I had many storms to wade through. Lack mentality was the most difficult thinking I had to change and I did not realize I had it to begin with! 

I'll use some examples here. I mean what's wrong with say things such as "I wish I had more money to______________." I had to change my habitual thinking, the way I said things was a big aha moment for me and it made me very aware of what I spoke. After all, what we say is what we get in return! We speak our reality into existence. I learned I was much better off saying, "I am making the money to__________" and with my creative imagination at work, I can visualize it happening! 

When we express ourselves in a manner that can bring forth the reality we want, we express the positive actions we take to influence our minds. If I say "wish", then it stays a wish, but if I say "making", then it becomes a powerful action word and please note that I am saying it in the present tense as an "I am…” statement. And yes, of course it was done through continuous self talk. That was for my personal growth. 

I belong to this mastermind group here on the mental cleanse for my exponential growth in the long haul because if I want to make more, I've got to become more! And I cannot become that person without a mastermind group to help me. 

There is one main difference I see with people here at Mentoring For Free is that when they stay on the mental cleanse and decide to be year a year from now, they are professional network marketers and leaders that persist in their journey in all areas of their lives! They have stayed on this journey year after year! 

So I ask you, are you willing to stay on this journey long enough to experience what a mastermind group can do for you, to discover exponential growth as you share with brilliant minds, and to wade through the storms in your life to pass? 

Finally, will you be here a year from now? 

Much love and appreciation,

Inducing Your Faith in 2014!

Making 2014 Magnificent!

PERSISTENCE: THE SUSTAINED EFFORT NECESSARY TO INDUCE FAITH

As we begin the New Year of 2014, I see how time flies. It's amazing to me that I have been here on this mental cleanse almost for two and half years. I posted my first lesson on the mental cleanse forum on August 3rd 2011.

I had a lot of work to do on myself and I never realized just how much I needed to change until I started the mental cleanse journey. And I am always curious what new golden nugget will sink into my being this time around. Each lesson I write is a journey log for me, a gratitude journal.

Each lesson I read from others helps me to grow exponentially as this is a mastermind group in sharing and performance.

In the last chapter by Hill, in Chapter 8 of Decisions, I wrote Michael always tells us when we make a definite decision; we must follow through to the end.

That's persistence, the quality aka willpower we need to keep going to the end and Hill describes this character as someone having steel, a quality we need when we become disappointed or discouraged, and remembering all the while that it's up to me, my responsibility, to change my world. 

It isn't just one action or two actions we take, but it's the continuous movement and flow of energy that we take as we follow the MFF recipe.

So think about what keeps a person persistent in their pursuits?

We must have good feeling about what we are doing, a “can do” attitude that says I am doing and taking another action that's moving me closer to my desire, Yes! It's all systems go! And it's that intense burning desire inside of me that I keep visualizing. We can all have this attitude if we stay close to the fire, using our will power and putting the action it requires to reach the definite end goal!

I have this good feeling because I know Michael's mentoring and so many great mentors here have changed me for the better and I have also become a better mentor. I have a "can do" attitude because I get training here at MFF.

And what about building your business you ask?

I can say to you, for a lady that was brand new to network marketing and failed for the first 6 months because I did not have Mentoring For Free then...well now I say with confidence I am a professional network marketer. And I remember when my very first prospect to join me in my business joined. I was ecstatic and even more confident that I am learning the right way to build my business. And then before I knew it, I had a team and customers! I have everything I need right here at Mentoring For Free.

I am very happy with my regained confidence because when I get on the colors training calls and hear how some people have not had success after many, many years of trying to build their business, I feel blessed, knowing I found the golden ticket early on in my network marketing career.

This year of 2014, I made a promise to myself. I am not taking baby steps anymore. I am standing taller and walking a bit faster, taking longer strides in pursuit of my goals. I am so happy attracting and sponsoring Black Diamonds into my business easily and consistently through education and teamwork!

My hope and prayer is that your journey here with us at Mentoring For Free is nothing short of magnificent, that you enjoy your journey, and that the blessings of abundance fall upon all of us in this 2014 New Year!

Much love and appreciation,
