A mastermind group is a collection of people who are highly ambitious and motivated to improve their business and personal life by working with a group of like-minded people to achieve their goals.
The idea behind a mastermind group was introduced by Napoleon Hill in his book Think and Grow Rich (1937) as a way of improving your business and personal life.
Hill described his concept as, “a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.”
The idea of a mastermind group has been around for centuries, with pioneering leaders such as Benjamin Franklin and Theodore Roosevelt using their mastermind groups for support, guidance and advice.
Great business people and creatives who were also part of mastermind groups include:
“The Vagabonds” – Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, President Warren G. Harding, Harvey Firestone
“The Inklings”: CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield
