A mastermind group for brainstorming events is an innovative way to create goals. There is a commitment and high level of energy that comes with participants of a mastermind group. The people in the group challenge each other to create goals and brainstorm ideas. They support each other with honesty and compassion.
The concept for this type of group was started in the early part of the 1900s by Napoleon Hill who wrote about the principle in his book Think and Grow Rich. He described it as a joining of minds all working towards the same goal. During a mastermind group the agenda will belong to each member of the group and every person participating is key.

How Mastermind Groups Work
A mastermind group can meet over the phone, through an online message board, or in person. Facebook groups, Google+ Hangouts, and other similar social networking sites are great for these groups as well. For phone and in person groups there are typically monthly meetings scheduled.
The way that mastermind groups are set up requires you to be committed to the group when you join. When setting up a mastermind group you are going to want to make sure that you choose highly motivated people. People need to be able to ask and give support and help throughout the life of the group. In addition, they must show up for every meeting.
Finding the Right People
The facilitator of the group is extremely important as they will be the one that runs the meetings and holds the group accountable. One of the best ways to make sure that everyone in the group is motivated is to charge for the group. Most people that put money on the table are going to be more motivated to make the meetings and make the group successful.
There are many reasons to create a mastermind group and one reason is for event planning. If you are in need of a great event for your company, a mastermind group can be the perfect solution. The right group of people will be able to come up with the perfect event.
