"How Can Two Walk Together Unless They Be In Agreement."
Masterminding is when you surround yourself and affiliate with the right of kind of people, you enter into the gold of Shared Thinking.
"Two are Strong
One is weak, feeble"
Because we become like those with whom we associate, it's important for us to have foundational level people in our lives. This is because they bring out the best in us. They cause us to have greater faith and confidence, to see things from a greater perspective.
It is truly better to be alone than to be in the wrong company. One conversation with the right person can be more valuable than many years of study.
"I desire what is good. Therefore, everyone who doesn't agree with me is a traitor." --King George III
Good thinkers, especially those who are also good leaders, understand the power of shared thinking or the benefits of a Mastermind group. They tend to know that when you value the thoughts and values of others, they receive the compounding results of shared thinking and will be able to accomplish much more than they ever could have on their own.
Six important reasons why Mastermind Thinking is so Beneficial:
1. Mastermind Thinking is Faster than Solo Thinking
2. Mastermind Thinking is More Innovative than Solo Thinking
3. Mastermind Thinking Brings More Maturity than Solo Thinking
4. Mastermind Thinking Is Stronger Than Solo Thinking
5. Mastermind Thinking Returns Greater Value Than Solo Thinking
6. Mastermind Thinking Is The Only Way To Have Great Thinking
You see, if you combine the thoughts which you have along with the thoughts others have, then you will come up with the thoughts you've never had!
