What’s Wrong with Stompernet’s Masterminds

Ryan — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 19:27:51 +0000

Masterminding is a fantastic concept. However, the masterminds that are offered at Stompernet are not the solution that they are meant to be.

First of all, maybe 20-30 people are invited.

Second, different people show up every week.

Third, it is run by a guru from Stompernet instead of being a peer-based organization.

This means that you are listening to the problems of a bunch of people who you probably are not very interested in and don’t know anything about. For over an hour.

In a real mastermind, you meet with the same people over and over and you develop a feel for one another. My mastermind increased in efficiency every meeting over the first six months as we got more familiar with one another, shared deeper, and lost our fear of being painfully open about things we saw in the other that didn’t work.

So, the value of the mastermind is in the knowledge, experience, wisdom, and connection of the participants. Stompernet would be better off to connect people in small groups, give them the instructions, and leave them alone.

Or, better yet, find/make your own.

Perry Marshall on Masterminding

At Ken McCarthy’s System Intensive, Ken asked, “Who is subscribed to Perry Marshall’s stuff?”

About 70% of the people in London at this event were on his lists.

He says that his success really began once he started in his mastermind, which met only three times a year. I can recommend listening to his story, at least the first 10 minutes.

I was listening to the Frank Kern Mass Control Seminar (brilliant, btw) which I got as part of buying mass control a secret way with a payment plan that is even probably still available. (If you wanna know, you can contact me at me @ ryanorrock dot com)

Anyway, Frank said, “Do you know anybody who can do it alone? I don’t. And the point of having like-minded friends is so you have people to believe in you when you don’t even believe in yourself.”

Imagine having one friend who believes in you no matter what. How would that feel? Now, what would it be like to have a dozen or so such friends? What could you accomplish?
