I love Master Mind Groups! When done properly, you have a plethera of resources to pull from – mind capital in abundance. It allows you to look at your company objectively.

But I do caution people to have a mixture of people of various backgrounds and levels of success. Hopefully some more successful than you. Try not to include attention hogs or those who are consistently disruptive.

And each should have quality time to speak. I find 3-12 people to be sufficient. You just have to make sure the length of the meeting is adjusted for the size of the group.

Evan…you say to find another to hold you accountable but the TRUE entrepreneur has a unique heart which no one can match. They have extreme passion which rarely can be understood by others and the motivations of this person just can’t be realized by another who is coaching.

I’ve seen so many (not hurtful) wannabes fall off all around me. This is truly my inspiration as I watch them get bored, lose stamina, mixed up dreams etc. I knew I just had to “keep pushing ’til it burns”…’til there was nothing left of the idea. Either a sure winner or sure loser. If I did this I knew I would be an elite entrepreneur.

What an entrepreneur needs to do is this. 7 DAYS A WEEK work on your idea,dream,project. Sunday too? YES! This is the most important day. Even if you put in a 10 minute brainstorm while driving to get a jump on Monday and to ENSURE you don’t push off Monday.

You take one day off it turns to two. Then to weeks…then gone and the entrepreneur has to say to himself he was full of shit and that is the most hurtful part.

Think I’m going a little overboard? I assure you, if you are not this enthusiastic, out of the other people that have your same dream, someone is this enthusiastic and will make your dream real. Go 7 days a week and it will build your confidence. You can say then, this just gotta win the race this time! Just a matter of opinion.

what a wonderful post. I have that same problem of going through different ideas every week and that results in very little progress.

thanks for the eye-opening post!

Evan, great post. I can’t agree with you more how important it is as a fellow young entrepreneur to stay accountable. It is especially challenging when working alone.

Luckily, I too am apart of a program that helps me stay accountable. It was developed by Michael Simmons of Extreme Entrepreneurship and I have an accountability partner I call everyday and weekly calls with other young entrepreneurs. Anyone can be apart of it. They can sign up through http://www.journeypage.com.

The program has taken me further that I could have working alone with anyone to support me.
