How a Mastermind Group Can Make Your Success Plan Unstoppable

"think and grow rich" chapter 7 mastermind Jun 20, 2025

“Ally yourself with a group of as many people as you may need for the creation, and carrying out of your plan, or plans for the accumulation of money—making use of the ‘Master Mind’ principle described in a later chapter. (Compliance with this instruction is absolutely essential. Do not neglect it.)” Page 90 “Think and Grow Rich.”

Marcus was a young fitness coach with a burning desire to build an online course and earn $50,000 in his first year. Inspired by Hill’s 6-step plan, he:

Step 1. Wrote down his goal and the exact amount.

Step 2. Decided what he’d give in return: a premium weight loss program.

Step 3. Set a deadline.

Step 4. Mapped out a plan: record videos, build a website, run ads.

Step 5. Read his goal aloud daily.

Step 6. Visualized success every night.

He did everything by the book. But 4 months in, Marcus was exhausted and stuck. He didn’t know how to market the course properly, his sales page wasn’t converting, and he couldn’t fix it alone.

Then he remembered Hill’s Chapter 7 warning: Ally yourself with a group; compliance is absolutely essential!

So, Marcus joined a local entrepreneur mastermind group. Once a week, they met to share ideas, connections, and honest feedback.

Within weeks:

  • A fellow member helped him rewrite his sales page.
  • Another shared tips for running profitable ads.
  • A third connected him to a trusted freelancer to edit his videos.

His plan transformed faster than he ever could have managed solo. Six months later, Marcus hit $62,000 in course sales, thanks to the power of his Mastermind.

Hill’s 6-step plan (Chapter 2) is about what you want and how you intend to get it. But your Mastermind group makes that plan better and faster because:

  • They add new ideas. Fresh minds see blind spots you can’t.
  • They keep you accountable. You’re less likely to slack off when you have to report progress.
  • They help you adapt. If your plan hits a wall, they’ll help you pivot smartly (another Chapter 7 secret).
  • They open doors. Connections, resources, and opportunities often come through people, not solo effort.

Hill says this is so essential that ignoring it can sabotage your entire plan no matter how perfect it looks on paper.

Your Mastermind Group gives you collective brainpower, encouragement, and real help to turn that plan into results. Success is rarely a solo journey. Hill knew it and so do today’s most successful entrepreneurs.

If you want to achieve big success, don’t do it alone. You need a Mastermind Group; a team of minds working together to help you plan, solve problems, and keep you accountable.
