Want to go Uplevel? Mastermind!

January 5, 2009

Have you been wanting to go forward with your dreams? Have you been stuck in a rut? I have a secret for you! A tip that will help you make great strides ahead in your business.

Mastermind!

Wondering what is that? Masterminding is when we connect with family members, a group of friends, or other writers to brainstorm or throw out ideas or make a game plan. When you mastermind, you get real feedback from those who want to see you succeed and reach your goals.

Brainstorming with others is a wonderful way to beat Writer’s Block.  When you are stuck, make brainstorming fun.  You can sit and just start throwing ideas out or make a game by putting ideas in a hat and then passing it around to read or act out.

We call this a “mastermind” session.

And you’d be absolutely amazed at how productive it can be.  Folks throw out ideas that you never even thought of.  They offer opinions that you weren’t even close to considering.  Why?  Because they think differently than you do.  And that can be a good thing.

Are you having trouble with generating ideas for your eBook , or expanding upon what you are already writing about?  Get a group of folks together (or even ONE person is a wonderful start) and ask questions.  Explain what you are writing about and ask for suggestions, ideas and opinions. Voila — you’ve got more ideas and a fresh perspective to write from.

Want to go uplevel? Want to reach for your dreams? Mastermind!
