How to Run a Mastermind Meeting and Why Mastermind Groups are Great #Best Education Page #Online Earning

hey what's up Huntington here from the

insight project and in this video my

friend Nick and I talked about

mastermind groups so mastermind groups

have been instrumental in my growth

online and being an entrepreneur I

started almost within like two months of

learning about online business to

forming a mastermind group and I've been

in several over the years for me it's

really been instrumental so I give Nick

a few tips on forming mastermind groups

and sort of how to structure meetings so

people get stuff like meaningful things

out of the meeting so let's get over to

this discussion now hey what's up Doug

Huntington here and I'm with my friend

Nick Nick what's up today how's it going

Doug doing pretty well today we're gonna

talk about mastermind groups and for me

mastermind groups have been instrumental

in helping me grow as a business person

and just learning about niche sites and

just in general so background is I

formed a mastermind group as soon as I

got started with online marketing so

this was back in the smart passive

income niche site project or niche site

challenge - and there was a forum so I

pulled together about six people and got

moving and I had literally no experience

but there were a few people that were

ahead of me and that's sort of like was

the start for me with masterminds after

that I've been in you know probably five

or six others and again they've been

instrumental and like just helping me

out now Nick you emailed me a couple

weeks ago about mastermind groups and

kind of tell me where you're at and kind

of what you're looking for I guess as

far as mastermind groups go yeah sure so

actually through your Facebook group

through the the private five figure

niche site course Facebook group that

you get access to when you when you get

the course there was someone in there

that was proposed if anyone is looking

to form a small group we could all get

together and and talk about our niche

sites and so I joined that and there's

four of us right now and it's really

great we all bounce ideas off of each

other

and you know we all share our success

and everyone's really positive and and I

think that the group meshes really well

together right now and so but what I

reached out to you about is that I just

wanted to see like if everyone's kind of

started from the same spot or if

everyone's in the same spot how do you

get more out of the group and in your

experience where all of your groups when

you form them was everyone in the same

spot or did you have some people who are

maybe above you or had more experience

and they were passing down their

knowledge or was everyone kind of

learning together and then that's how

the group grew and so I'd love to hear

hear your take on that good question so

in the first group that I was in there

was kind of a wide range so you could

imagine the smart passive income like

project that whole like forum brought in

a lot of different people and you know I

put out a call and it ended up a call

being like in the forum I posted got

people's information and I actually like

talk to each one of them individually so

we did end up with a range of people and

I remember there was a guy in the group

who I thought it was like so like beyond

me he was making 3 bucks a day and I

thought wow this guy's figured it out

and you know I shouldn't even be talking

to him like he's doing really well

and I remember telling my wife that

after the meeting so of course fast

forward like a few months I was doing

much better than that so the point is

there were some people with like zero

experience and actually like never

launched their site and then there were

a few other people that had two or three

sites and kind of knew what was going on

so as far as like getting more out of

the group well and one thing to add

everyone no matter what their experience

or success level is they can bring some

expertise to the table mine as you you

know I constantly talk about the project

management stuff and the organizational

systems and that sort of thing because

it's a set of skills that people want to

have but often they haven't been trained

on it and I have credentials and

experience that I

lean on so I'm lucky but everyone has

something like that you have a unique

set of skills everyone has that so you

just have to like make sure you're

tapping into that number one make sure

everyone if they're an expert in I'm

struggling to come up with something but

let's say they they worked in

restaurants their whole life they have

really good customer service and

hospitality understanding which when it

comes down to it is close to sales and

they probably have a unique take on

ideas that you may not have so everyone

has that the second part is the

structure of your meetings and how often

you meet one of the big advantages of

mastermind groups is the accountability

portion and you know just saying hey I'm

gonna accomplish these one or two things

over the next two weeks or whatever your

meeting interval is saying you're gonna

do that gives you a you know reason to

focus you know you're gonna have to go

and report back to the group and say I

accomplished it or I didn't so I have

another one as well but do you guys and

gals meet on a regular basis and use it

as an accountability group we'll see

that's a great point because actually we

don't right now it's just a very it's

not it's very informal chat group

essentially there is no meeting and so

that's that's a great point that you

bring up and did you ever have to go

from something similar to that let's say

maybe you guys were just all emailing

back and forth and then did someone come

along and say hey let's make this a

formal thing or how would you go about

making it more formal and and maybe

cementing that in is having like monthly

or bimonthly or bi-weekly meetings etc

cool so I think basically the groups

that I've been in I have been the hub

right so I'm the facilitator another

skill in the project management arena is

like just running meetings have a loose

agenda the agendas are super easy I mean

basically there's many different formats

but usually like one big win from the

last you know week or two and then one

person maybe has like a hot seat where

they are

talking for 20 minutes on a specific

problem everyone gives their input and

then at the end of the meeting you can

say like your one or two goals for the

next period so the thing is I've never

been in a group where you just have a

chat there's always a meeting component

i've always at least gotten at that part

started maybe you know we trade off or

someone else types up the agenda which

is usually just you know a template

right so you just make a new copy you

can use whatever tool you want you know

Evernote Google Docs whatever it doesn't

matter the point is the meeting is the

most important so what what you have

right now is a chat room right it's like

the mastermind group that people say

they have a Facebook mastermind group

and really it's just a big like Facebook

group with a bunch of noise so the

mastermind group you do have to meet and

I would say you know starting off it may

be great to meet like once a week for

about a month so you can get to know

each other there's a lot of trust

involved like you're bringing your

biggest problems like you end up talking

about personal stuff because everything

overlaps right if you're you know for me

like I'm talking business stuff but

there's a big component because you know

I have a wife and like we have other

things and priorities going on

so it's not all business all the time

there's again there's a lot of trust so

meeting often early is probably a good

idea and then bi-weekly depending on how

much like your group is doing and how

much time people can dedicate like

bi-weekly gives people enough time to do

some meaningful work a lot of times if

you meet every week you'll find that

okay like once you've laid the

groundwork and everyone knows each other

well every two weeks is pretty good now

I know every net like around the

holidays or even in the summer for

vacations there will be periods where

you know oh we need to cancel the

meeting it's it's not convenient for you

know half the group will cancel the

meeting will pick it up and it gives

people time to breathe take a little

break and all that stuff so I said a lot

their meetings are required what

follow-ups do you have on that yeah no

that's that

all makes sense because yeah without the

meeting you're you know you put a lot of

accountability on on yourself and others

and then also you get that that leverage

so if you show up to the meeting and you

haven't done anything that's a great

another you're holding yourself

accountable to others as well and yeah

exactly sometimes the chat can can be a

little noisy and we won't hear from

someone for a while and have to catch up

on you know 200 plus messages and at

that point it can be very discouraging

and you're not really getting everyone's

input or you're not getting the value

out of everyone and I think that's also

a great point about you know I know I

know them by name and and their little

Facebook picture but how much do I

really know them and how much do I know

about everyone's skills individual

skills in the group you know most of

them I have no idea what they do as for

their living if they have you know

family like you said so I think those

meetings could really help to to kind of

suss out the the details of everyone's

life and and and what they bring to the

table yeah cool cool and one you know

final thing that I'll mention is it's

interesting because most of the groups

that I've been in I have been like like

the worst person like I have the least

accomplishments most of the time because

this like if you can come in as the hub

like you send out some invitations you

can reach out to bloggers right like Rob

and I have an interview coming out in

the next few weeks here Rob reached out

to me and we're in a mastermind group we

have been for you know almost three plus

years and of course business partners

good friends and all that stuff he just

reached out to me and with networking he

didn't come with an ask but networking

and it just worked out magically right

so the point is if you are the hub

you're pulling people together people

hate scheduling meetings people hate

coming up with the agendas they eat like

the easyadmin stuff that I'm fine with

doing right I got used to it over years

at the corporate job but if you do that

part you can you know hit above your

weight class and work with people that

are one two steps ahead of you just

because you're pulling it together

so there are other stories that I could

think of examples like I think the key

one that I recall and maybe I'll do a

little bit more analysis on this but

Jaime tardy from eventual millionaire I

think she has a different last name

contacted Pat Flynn to form a mastermind

group and you know she didn't have the

credentials that she has now and all the

accomplishments but through persistence

and pulling other people together she

was able to get Pat Flynn in the group

obviously good person to have in your

network and to talk to on like a weekly

or bi-weekly basis so all right cool

I think we've given people some stuff to

chew on thanks Nick for hopping on if

people want to like ask more questions

about mastermind groups ask in the

comments like it's a topic that I love I

have some friends in town here in

Bozeman that are big on the mastermind

idea as well yeah I think mastermind

groups are great if you're not in a

mastermind group you should get in one

all right thanks Nick appreciate it all

right thanks Doug all right thanks Nick

have questions about mastermind groups

or if you're thinking you want to form a

another if they are watching the video
