By Ken Hardison THE LAW FIRM OWNER ’ S GUIDE TO CHOOSING A MASTERMIND GROUP
Not all Mastermind Groups are the same , and not all groups will produce the same results . The word “ Mastermind ” is being used today to describe a litany of gatherings that aren ’ t Mastermind Groups at all , from large-scale Conferences to small-scale coaching style sessions , digital webinars , podcasts , and so forth . Although the word “ Mastermind ” is attached to many platforms , it does not mean that the event or gathering is a true Mastermind group . And even legitimate Mastermind Groups are not all the same , either . There are a number of Mastermind models . If you are contemplating joining a Mastermind group , it is important to understand how these various models operate , so that you can choose the group that best aligns with your goals and objectives .
Having spent years as both a participant in and a facilitator of many Mastermind groups , I ’ ve had the opportunity to observe first-hand , models that worked wonderfully and others that failed to bring significant value to the participants . I can say without a doubt that the type of group you are in matters , both in terms of format , and in terms of who else is a member of the group . Some Mastermind groups will provide you with far more benefits than others . Being in the wrong Mastermind group wastes your time and your money . And even more importantly , in the worst-case scenario , being in the wrong Mastermind group can result in your competitors leveraging your strategies against you .
There are basically three primary types of “ Mastermind ” groups I see in use today :
1 ) The Mass Mastermind Group Model , 2 ) The Coaching Mastermind Model , and 3 ) The Classic or Traditional Mastermind Model .
Let ’ s examine these three models more closely .
