Do you want to announce something to people? So what do you think is the best way of going about doing this? Banners are the best medium through which you can tell people whatever you want to communicate to them. Banners are usually made of a long strip of paper or cloth to advertise about anything. Or banners can simply be your means to get
This particular group was comprised of five women and the focus was real estate investing. I met Kim, the woman who invited me to join the group, at a real estate investing seminar. I was a relatively new investor at the time and thought this was an opportunity to learn more about real estate investing, team up with other women who were investing, and jumpstart my real estate investing business, which is a business I run with my husband, in addition to my marketing consulting and coaching business.
In theory the group should have helped jumpstart my fledgling real estate investing business. In reality it did not. We met weekly but we quickly realized that some of us were more serious than others. Some of the members did not show up on a regular basis. Others seemed more interested in spending our time together socializing instead of focusing on the business at hand.

When John applied for a job at Oakland Company, his resume looked fabulous, showing tremendous talent and advancement. His qualifications were beyond question and he built immediate rapport with everyone in the interview process. Every one of his references checked out. Six months later, you were wondering why you hired this clown.T

Something is roaring into the business community’s depot that has been building momentum for years. I call it the Gray Train. On December 31, 2004, the last Baby Boomer turned 40, pushing that train to full throttle. Marketers are missing the obvious and not-so obvious opportunities to grow their businesses with this appealing audience.

Kim, who had organized the group, tried very hard to set an agenda and add value to the group. But we quickly realized that if all the members were not 100% focused on the same goals, it just was not going to work. The mastermind group disbanded after a few months.
This experience taught me a few lessons.
While there is definitely value in masterminding with others, it's important to make sure you are all focused on getting the same thing out of the relationship. And, that you are all seriously committed.
And most importantly, ground rules are imperative.
