POWER OF THE MASTER MIND

This is my favorite chapter of the entire Think and Grow Rich book. Not just because Hill stresses the importance of having a mastermind group of like-minded people, but also because he clearly explains the value of specific knowledge and that power is derived only from the direct and purposeful application of knowledge. The importance of brainstorming with like-minded individuals cannot be overstated. Work groups, executive teams, board members are all the direct recognition that the collective power of several minds working and planning together can accomplish much more than one mind alone. Two or more minds, working in harmony, produce a synergistic energy that weaves a concrete reality out of purpose, vision and determination. Harmony is not just some nicey-nice, feel-good environment. All creation is comprised of vibration. Harmonious vibrations are creative. Discordant vibrations are destructive. When you intentionally place yourself into a harmonious position, you are acting in concert with the natural laws of universal creation. The people you hang around with are a part of your mastermind team. Play close attention to the quality of thinking that your associates have. Most people prefer to hang out with those who do NOT challenge them. It is more comfortable. What do you, your friends and associates talk about? Below average people talk about other people, read People magazine and, in so doing, affirm that the activities and successes of other people are more real and more valuable than their own. Average people talk about things, events and circumstances, watch the nightly, network, nightmare news and, in so doing, affirm that the conditions of the world control their success. Above average people talk about ideas and concepts, read good books and, in so doing, affirm that their own success is dependent upon learning and applying the right ideas. Super successful people talk about their own ideals and visions, communicate about them with other super successful people, and in so doing, affirm that their success derives from their personal power to think, desire, believe and act with intent/purpose. If you had the opportunity to have a group of super successful people as your personal advisors, coaching you to become all that you were capable of becoming, and mentoring you to achieve the fulfillment of your potential, would you take it? Would you follow the advice of the people who have achieved huge levels of success, personal fulfillment and happiness in place of those who are mired in mediocrity? Would you like to have self-made millionaires on your mastermind team?
