How do you do Mastermind Group (Napoleon Hill Format)?

  1. 1.Recruit 5-7 committed members with diverse skills, aligned values, and complementary goals — chemistry and trust matter more than credentials
  2. 2.Establish ground rules: confidentiality is non-negotiable, mandatory attendance, specific meeting format, and a clear shared objective
  3. 3.Run meetings biweekly using the 'hot seat' format: celebrate wins (10 min), hot seat member presents their challenge (10 min), group brainstorms solutions (20 min), action commitments (10 min)
  4. 4.The hot seat member emails their topic 24-48 hours before the meeting so members can prepare; rotate the hot seat each session
  5. 5.Maintain perfect harmony — Napoleon Hill's #1 rule. If a member creates friction or stops contributing, address it directly or remove them

How long does it take?

2 hours biweekly, plus 30 minutes preparation.
