Masterminding for My Home Business in Personal Development

I have long been a student of personal development but it was not until 5 months ago, when I embarked upon a unique and transforming program that I became a fully and actively committed student. Since then I have been re-reading some oldies but goodies as well as becoming familiar with new and exciting writers.  One of my re-reads is Success – The Best of Napoleon Hill, revised and updated by Patricia G. Horan.  Hill, writing in 1928 and 1930, outlines in great detail the Master Mind which he defines as “a composite mind, consisting of two or more individual minds working in perfect harmony, with a Definite Aim in view”. Hill goes on to talk about the power of abundance in such a situation and the ability through this process to stimulate the minds of the Master Mind to a highly intensified degree of action in pursuit of the Definite Aim.  I was loving this idea for my home business in personal development.

Hill contended then that it is possible for thoughts to communicate with other thoughts; minds to speak directly to minds and gives as an example the Master Mind that served so well for Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and Harvey Firestone. Well, I will be happy to achieve to the extent that those three men did so two weeks ago I set off on a journey to meet up with as many of the experts within my new home business in personal development field as I possibly could in the time that I had available.  The first thing that I found was the absolute generosity of those experienced people.

They freely gave me hours of their time, shared their business acumen, provided hot tips and advice garnered from others and from their own experiences, lent me books and in some cases hosted me in their homes. I greatly appreciated this generosity and having never been seen it before, was amazed and humbled.  I am sure that in relation to give and receive, these people will receive ten fold in return.

Now for the amazing bit.  In some cases, I was gently but firmly challenged in regard to some of what I believed or was doing and that was an incredible learning experience on its own.  However in all cases, I left with something on my mind that I have subsequently turned much attention to and found some answers that I did not ever expect.  I can only think that this was a genuine Master Mind as defined by Hill.  Apart from that though, I greatly welcomed the Master Minding discussions that we had and learned heaps from them.  I thoroughly recommend that every small business owner find themselves a Master Mind!!  And I am sure that my own home business in personal development will be all the better for those Master Minds and others that will take place in the future.

The drive down the coast from Cairns to Brisbane was alright too. I highly recommend a look at both Tannum Sands and Burrum Heads.
