Yesterday I have started a new mastermind group that is an evolution of the mastermind activity already conducted by The Wealth Building Annex in Tampa. What is a mastermind first of all? Well, it is a place where you go and meet people who are trying to achieve something different in their working life and share their experiences and necessities with others so to obtain and give help under a facilitator that makes sure that no time is wasted and that every meeting has a productive outcome.

Well maybe some of you already belong to one so “what is the big deal” here? The deal here is to create a whole new model of high end mastermind that will then be used elsewhere. Having this purpose alone will make it so much more powerful.

The official objective anyway is to iron out business strategies and to enable a faster growth leveraging to experince of Mark Katz, the facilitator who has a substantial background in business development in the US. Joining this smaller elite mastermind inside TWBA has also changed my status in the organization, bringing me to “governor” level which means I will now be able to have a deeper insight into the evolution strategy of what I consider the most advanced mastermind organization in the whole nation.

But what I got more specifically out of yesterday meeting was an exposure to a multiplicity of business models, all examined in their strengths AND their weaknesses, which in invaluable to better judge my own. I have so satisfied the third step of the: “Golden Rules of Making Money” which is “Avoid Debt”.

In my case the debt was not financial but I was short of ideas and benchmarks to establish whether the plans I have for 2010 were sound from a pure business perspective. Now I have a sounding board with a dozen other entrepreneurs that can be sparring partners for the next twelve months. This is now affluence for me.
