The Value of a Book

Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich speaks of the power of the Mastermind principle. The reason one would meet together with other people in this fashion is to create an extra mind that would not be available without the sum total of all the parties involved creativity. In Christianity a scripture defines this: "Where two or three are gathered in my name there am I also."

There will be times that your expectations of your purpose exceeds those around you. When this occurs it can be a difficult thing to maintain these expectations and not get pulled back to the earth by gravity. Keep aiming for the stars and practice the Mastermind Principle to assist you.

There are three things that can assist you to draw on the creative energies of the very best leaders ever to walk the earth and this is not a new idea. It takes some belief, some faith that this type of mastermind works.

Let me set this process up. Have you ever been engaged in a relationship with a mentor and you find yourself calling them a lot at first then you go to pick up the phone after a while and you know because of their nature and philosophy what they would say if you asked their advice. It is using this same creativity that you can employ the ultimate mastermind when those around you may not see your potential.

First off start getting more from the 3 things that make up most of the difference of that which influences you. 1) The things you see. Especially right now if there is to much negativity to be seen pick up a book and see through the eyes of a leader. I have a mentor Robin Sharman who says reading a book is like having a conversation with the author. Who are you currently conversing with? 2) What you hear. What are the things that have been crossing over the sound waves that you have been listening to lately? Learn out loud with audio programs, when you seek there will be an abundance of sources. 3) Who you are around. This is what I want to focus on especially asking that you the reader open your mind.

Who you associate with is so vitally important. If those that you are around don't expect your greatness to shine through. If you even sense that they don't appreciate your potential limit your time around these people. The vast majority are projecting there doubts on you. Spend more time finding the natures of the great leaders. Then. . . and this is so crucial. . . Start asking what would Disraeli do in this situation? What would Abraham Lincoln do if faced with this challenge? How would Edison go after solving this problem? How would Bill Gates think globally about this? What Would Jesus Do?(important) The more you ask these questions and less you check in with the doubters and what would they do, the higher your actions will come from.

This process will unfold for you eventually and create a Mastermind the level of realness of this mastermind will depend on you. The greatest leaders of all time will come through as a result of your FAITH in the process, DILIGENCE in the study, and CONSISTENCY in applying this.
