Chapter 10: The power of the mastermind
The driving force
The ninth step towards riches
Wow this chapter is what really needed, these last few days have been about discovering more who am as a person and also about creating that mastermind group for relationships. Having seen the loving side and the emotional side surface more and more, it’s been going on a few weeks however the hardest part is that after reading this chapter about really needing a group of allied individuals or people who can advise and assist you along the way. Something which never had as a person.
The hardest part is without a mastermind group of allied individuals we decline as a person. When you have no one to turn to or seek advice from you rough it out on your own however that does not work. Especially when you’re feeling unable to express emotions to people as you’re not feeling safe enough.
The biggest thing have learnt from reflecting and reading the power of the mastermind is the need to create and have a mastermind group for relationships. People who can talk to about such, one thing that have never had. That is the hardest thing, you can work on relationship skills however without anyone to talk to you do not know where you're falling down. Without someone saying “I don’t like this” you do not know what needs work as a person. That’s hard in any relationship, its learning to relate with others as a person and understand them. Yet also having an environment where you can ask and not feel you will be ridiculed for asking the stupidest question. After all the only stupid one is the one that is not asked.
There are many forms of mastermind groups and am glad to be starting to build one which is able to assist with relationships. Mentoring for free has allowed me as a person to learn to relate to people better and to start to become that stronger person, it’s been hard work yet am so glad about such.
Thank you to everyone in this wonderful mental cleanse who is such an inspiration to me as a person. A big thank you to Michael, Willena, Ken, Shelly and Mervyn all of whom have taught me something different about people and who am as a person. I love you all so much,
Love and hugs,

Specificity Is the Key by Denis Waitley
Specificity Is the Key by Denis Waitley
This is the season for goal setting. It's the time to start with a clean slate and fill your slate for 2012 with tangible, incremental steps to your ultimate dreams.
One of the major reasons so few people reach their goals is that most people don't set specific goals and the mind just dismisses them as irrelevant. Most people want financial security, but have never considered how much money it will take. The mind cannot begin to formulate the strategies and actions required without specific information. Your mind will simply not respond to a request to get rich, have more, do better or make money. You must act like a bank loan officer with your goals.
The reason loan officers want to see a detailed business plan is that they know the entrepreneurs who are precise and specific are the ones who will succeed and pay off their loans.
If you ever begin to feel that you are losing your drive, if you feel like your energy level is down, your frustration level is up and you just can't seem to muster the enthusiasm to face a challenge, check the pulling power of your goals. You may have outgrown your current targets and present lifestyle. It may be time for motivation by elevation. Raise your sights and challenge yourself with some goals that are farther out on the horizon.
This may require more knowledge, new skills, a new lifestyle. If so, that's great! Many people resist goal-setting because they assume it leads to a formula-driven, highly uncreative life. Actually, the exact opposite can be true. People who passively assume that everything will somehow work out in the end can hardly be termed creative. They're not creating their lives; they're just hoping against hope that something good will happen to them.
Setting worthwhile goals is a much more imaginative approach. It's fashioning and molding the life of your choice. It's approaching your life the way an artist might stand before a new canvas, on which a beautiful painting can be crafted. There are other useful metaphors for creativity in goal-setting. The rudder of a plane, for example, is small and rigid, like a short-term goal you might accomplish in just one day. But the rudder can turn the plane in any direction the pilot chooses. In that, there's a great deal of freedom and flexibility.
Once you set a goal, you can adjust and fine-tune it any way you wish. That's creativity. And persistence is what allows you to keep progressing toward the goal no matter how many adjustments are required, and no matter how long it takes to accomplish.
The mind is the most magnificent bio-computer ever created. But remember, like a computer, it only responds to specific instructions, not to vague ideas. So come alive in 2012! Get laser focus and goals that are just out of reach, but not out of sight.
From Ron White’s newsletter, what a great article from Denis Waitley.
