Practice #34 - Conduct Monthly Masterminds

1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,120 A couple episodes back I was actually talking about how I 2 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:14,120 Met my friend and we were we hung out all the time and then we slowly decided to stop hanging out as much on purpose and 3 00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:20,200 Until it got to the point where now we're only hanging out once a month at least and 4 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,560 It's probably not even gonna be once a month in the future 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:28,120 It's probably me like once every three months or once a year even and 6 00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,120 And the thing is that we are 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:34,400 like we hang out once a 8 00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:36,960 month now 9 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:39,360 just for a specific reason and 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,640 We actually have another friend who's on a similar path to us who we hang out with as well 11 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:53,720 during this time and this is for a mastermind and a mastermind is basically when like-minded individuals 12 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,760 congregate together and 13 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:04,000 basically hang out like they they're basically spending time together in an intentional matter 14 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:06,680 talking about 15 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:08,680 their goals or 16 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,760 Not even their goals, but talking about 17 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:18,760 What they're doing and they're basically helping each other out with their problems and they're in a state of 18 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,520 harmonious connection which basically means that everyone is 19 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:27,920 Happy with each other and there's no bad blood basically means that everyone is 20 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,680 friends and they're happy to see each other and be around each other and so 21 00:01:34,320 --> 00:01:37,240 Once you're in this state of harmony, then you 22 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,840 Basically create this third mind or in my case since we have three members of the mastermind 23 00:01:43,960 --> 00:01:48,880 We create this fourth mind which basically is when all of our minds 24 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:53,520 combine and create this fourth mind that 25 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,880 oversees us all and 26 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,240 we can all 27 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,600 tap into that power source and 28 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:06,560 gain information from it and gain epiphanies and intuitions 29 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,400 Which is very valuable because 30 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,960 Even if everyone goes to the mastermind and they don't have the solutions 31 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,160 The solutions will probably still flow out of our mouths 32 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,640 Because we're in a state of flow when we're explaining things to each other 33 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:31,160 And then the right solution will come out because we're connected to that power source and some people call that power source God 34 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,640 Jesus the Buddha whatever it may be 35 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,120 But other people call it just the mastermind though. There's lots of different names for it, but 36 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:45,280 That power source basically helps you 37 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,440 Help them and it also creates new sparks in yourself 38 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:55,280 So there's lots of benefits to the mastermind, but in this recent mastermind 39 00:02:55,640 --> 00:03:02,480 We discussed many things and we like one way we structure the matchmind is 40 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:08,320 Each of us comes with a problem that we're experiencing at the moment 41 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:16,200 So for example, let's say you're addicted to something or you are wasting your time or you 42 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,440 Even problems that you don't know the solution to for example, for example 43 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,000 You don't know what you should be working on 44 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:33,440 There's many different problems that we came like that came to the table during this past mastermind, but I'm not gonna get into it 45 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:40,200 But what you need to know is you should structure your masterminds in such a way where every 46 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:47,200 Individual comes with something they want to have solved every individual comes with a purpose 47 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:54,680 So for example, one of my purposes for the mastermind the most recent one was to come up with video ideas and one of the video ideas 48 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,080 That I came up with was to delete your social media account 49 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,400 Which I recorded on a past episode already which you can go check out 50 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,760 but 51 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,720 Come up with video ideas that that was my purpose for the mastermind 52 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,800 so every individual should have a purpose and a 53 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:15,800 Problem that they want solved and so basically the way you structure the mastermind is you 54 00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:22,880 You walk around for maybe 10 to 15 minutes just hanging out and this is just to warm up 55 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,680 Because at first your minds are not gonna be in an instant state of harmony 56 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,800 It takes maybe 10 to 15 minutes to actually warm up to each other and become harmonized 57 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,440 So then after about 15 minutes and it doesn't have to be exact just warm up 58 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:43,280 And then eventually once you get once you think about it start to talk about your problems 59 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:51,080 And then each person goes around and they get the school they basically get the mic for that time so they 60 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,400 you this person talks and says their problems and 61 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,120 then 62 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:04,440 We spend the entire time all of our energy and effort on that one person and that one person's problems 63 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:11,200 Until they're satisfied with the end this may take 10 minutes. This may take an hour and then 64 00:05:11,840 --> 00:05:14,240 Once this person is completed 65 00:05:14,840 --> 00:05:19,320 Then we switch basically okay, so let's say person one is 66 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,680 The one with the problems initially. He's the first person 67 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:29,000 Then person two and three take turns speaking on 68 00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:36,840 things on basically solutions and then eventually the best solution will pop out and 69 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,960 then 70 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:46,400 At and then it switches so then person two is the person that explains their problems and then everyone else helps 71 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,560 fix them or 72 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:56,480 Give a solution and then they switch the next person and so on so forth until everyone is done and they're satisfied with their problems 73 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:02,600 And then you can still talk more or whatever and then at the end you summarize 74 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:09,240 So what I do is I bring a notebook and throughout the whole time I talk or I take notes 75 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,620 I actually write down all the things that I 76 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,920 Learned or that I want to take action on and implement 77 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:25,760 And so at the end everyone basically summarizes the things that they took home and they're gonna like they basically learned and 78 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,480 that gives another chance for recap and for people to 79 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:37,760 Basically come up with more ideas, but that's basically the mastermind and it shouldn't be done all the time 80 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:44,680 like I said in the past episode I did a mastermind pretty much every single day with my friend over summer and I 81 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,560 I 82 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:48,060 After a certain point it just became a waste of time 83 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,720 like on the 84 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,320 Not a waste of time 85 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,440 But it became a waste of time for the development side of things 86 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:02,760 It was definitely worth it because we were getting a lot of other things in like grounding barefoot shirtless 87 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,760 We're getting sun. We're getting exercise 88 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:07,400 but for the purely 89 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:14,880 Progress point of view on our purpose and our goals it became a waste of time to do it every day 90 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,520 Because then it's just a social thing. So that's why at the moment 91 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,760 We're only doing it once a month and that may change to once every three months or once every five months or once a year 92 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:30,400 I don't know but the point is find yourself some people who have like-minded 93 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:33,560 interests goals personalities and 94 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,760 and form a mastermind with them
