Make Your Success Inevitable With The Power Of A Mastermind

In Chapter 10 of his famous book, “Think and Grow Rich”, Napoleon Hill writes about the Power of the Mastermind. A mastermind, is more than the sum of its parts. Every achievement of significance in the history of the world has been the fruition of a mastermind group, from the founding of the United States to Google’s dominance of the internet.

When I was a mechanical engineering student, I took a course in Thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is the study of energy and how it converts from one form to another, mainly from heat to mechanical work and vice versa. One of the units in this course was a brief study of nuclear energy.

The thing that fascinated me about this topic was how a nucleus of an atom, which consists of protons and neutrons bound together by a powerful force, has a different mass than all of the individual protons and neutrons that make it up. When the nucleus of an atom is split, this extra mass is converted into an enormous amount of energy via Einstein’s famous equation E = mc2.

When two or more people of the same mind come together, a powerful force is created just like the binding energy of an atomic nucleus. The group becomes greater than the sum of its parts. The force is constructive and very focused.

But conversely, when two people of opposite minds come together, a force is also also created. But the force is destructive. So destructive that, it causes arguments, disharmony, resistance and chaos.

The first step to the riches, to owning your life, is a burning desire, a desire that burns so brightly that almost nothing could snuff it out.

But that may not be enough if you are surrounded by people who have opposing values, who are going to do everything they can consciously or subconsciously to stop you. It’s like swimming against a rip, an ocean current, an impossible feat.

Associating with the like minded people and masterminding with them toward a common goal is like swimming with the current, a current that is flowing toward your chosen destination.

I’ve come to the realisation that to achieve my vision it is incredibly important to associate with like minded people, people who have values that are inline with my own. These are people who value their freedom, they value excellence, they value their relationships, they treasure their lives and they live in the moment.

I once shared a flat with a colleague who was my polar opposite. Our beliefs could not be further apart. We got along fine until we began sharing things that were more personal. So we stopped talking about the things we cared about. But I still felt uncomfortable being in that environment and I knew that I had to get away from his influence.

Success is a team effort. It’s not possible to achieve financial freedom on your own. Robert Kiyosaki talks about this all the time in his books and yet his words fall on deaf ears. It took me a while to realise this as I had long thought “if it is to be, it is up to me!”

A lone ant wanders aimlessly and can’t survive for long, but an army of ants with a purpose is UNSTOPPABLE.

In order to succeed, you must become part of a mastermind group with the wisdom of mentors who have achieved excellence in the way they preach.

To your MLM success,
