Why Your Mastermind Group Must Be Fearless

“When you begin to select members for your ‘Master Mind’ group, endeavor to select those who do not take defeat seriously. Some people foolishly believe that only MONEY can make money. This is not true! DESIRE, transmuted into its monetary equivalent, through the principles laid down here, is the agency through which money is ‘made’.” Page 92 “Think and Grow Rich.”

Meet Sarah, an aspiring bakery owner. She read Think and Grow Rich and decided to follow Hill’s proven 6-step plan for success:

Step 1. She set a specific goal — earn $250,000 profit within 1 year.

Step 2. She determined what she would give: the best pastries in town, plus excellent service.

Step 3. She set a clear date for her bakery grand opening.

Step 4. She outlined a plan and took immediate action: she leased a small shop, designed her menu, and began testing recipes.

Step 5. She wrote out her goal and plan in detail.

Step 6. She read it aloud morning and night, believing in her success.

But soon, Sarah hit roadblocks: rising costs, delays with permits, and unexpected expenses drained her savings. Friends and family started to doubt her plan. Some told her, “You need a huge loan to make this work. You can’t do it without more money.”

Remembering Hill’s words, Sarah knew that money alone wouldn’t save her dream, but her burning desire, paired with a strong plan and the right people, would. So she built a Mastermind group. Not with people who panicked at setbacks, but with people who were solution-focused and resilient:

• A retired baker who had survived two recessions.
• A local marketing coach who loved helping small businesses.
• A positive, resourceful accountant who knew how to stretch every dollar.

Instead of getting discouraged, her Mastermind group brainstormed creative ways to raise funds: they organized pop-up pastry stalls, pre-sold gift cards, and ran a crowdfunding campaign that caught local media attention.

This quote shows you two secrets:

1. Pick Mastermind members who don’t fear setbacks, they turn problems into solutions.
2. Believe that burning desire, clear plans, and focused action create wealth not just a big pile of money.
