         MASTERMIND MAGIC:
       The Secret Weapon of Wealth

       What is Masterminding?

Today  	 Masterminding is an effective tool used throughout the centuries to bring about
 is a  solutions to challenges and problems through goal achieving and creative brainstorming.
great  	 Masterminding is what happens when several people, in a spirit of harmony, tap
 day   into a creative source far more than the collective power of the ones present. Masterminding
       is the power of plugging into each other, then watching the collective units create many
       more solutions than they ever could on their own.
       	 If I work on a goal or challenge by myself, I have a certain degree of creative power
       to solve what needs solving. If I then ask you to join me and apply your creative power to
       bear on my goal or challenge then, we feel, there is more than just the power of the two
       of us. Now, it’s like the Mastermind takes over. It’s no longer two, it’s more like the power
       of eleven.
       	 When you take a burning candle and touch the flame of another candle, the power
       of the two together is so much brighter than each burning alone.
       	 For example, let’s say someone is a fishing enthusiast. No, let’s say he’s a ‘fishing
       nut.’ This guy fishes every weekend at sunrise. He has three tackle boxes, a great fishing
       boat, and all the equipment one could imagine. He decides to turn his fishing hobby into
       a small business. If he’s never done it before he wouldn’t necessarily know what to do, how
       to do it or in many cases even where to begin. It is unlikely he would know how to market
       their services, what tax breaks are available, how to get financing, etc.

             The World of UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES
             	 Here is where the fisherman’s Mastermind group could really come in handy. He
             asks his group to assist him by Masterminding one of several, well-thought-out objectives.
             Since everyone in the Mastermind group is there to serve and give unconditionally to the
             other people in the group, they willingly apply themselves to achieving his objectives.
             	 The fisherman decides his objective is “to turn my fishing hobby into a profitable
             business generating $600 profit per month within the next six months.” Having a clear

Millionairepicture of what he wants, the Mastermind group then could provide him with marketing
             knowledge and specific contacts for clients or suppliers or partners. They might come up
             with a myriad of ideas the fisherman hasn’t even thought about. He probably never thought
