How it compares with a traditional mastermind
- Cost: free, rather than a membership fee.
- Timing: post when the problem comes up, rather than waiting for the next monthly meeting.
- Reach: answers from members across many industries and places, not just the six or eight people in your group.
- Focus: join communities for your industry, role or area so the discussions you see are the ones that matter to you.
What it does not replace: the accountability of meeting the same small group every month. If you want that too, our guide explains how to start your own mastermind group, and MasterMinds is a good place to find the people for it.
What members bring to each other
- Problem threads: talk a challenge through with people who have faced it, with a quick poll if you want to see what others do.
- Needs: ask for a supplier, a contact, a skill or an answer.
- Offers: share a template, spare equipment, space or an hour of your expertise.
- Problem of the week: one real question from a member, sent out for everyone to help with.
