A mastermind group is a group of like-minded people who help push each other to new heights in their business. Sometimes mastermind groups are formal, led by a business coach, and sometimes they are informal with just a group of people working together to help each other. A mastermind group can meet via a webinar system, group telephone call, on a message board or even in a Facebook group.

Usually the way a mastermind group works is that the membership stays small, often no more than five people in the group that meets together. That way each member can talk about their goals and aspirations at each meeting.

Facebook Groups

This is a great way to find a mastermind group. You can find one in a couple of ways. Simple search Facebook groups for “mastermind groups”, “accountability groups” or other terms that may help you locate the group you need. You can also ask members of any groups you’re already in, which masterminds they happen to be part of.

LinkedIn Groups

Finding the mastermind is very similar on LinkedIn as on Facebook. Do a search for the things you’re interested in. Try looking for the term “mastermind” to help you locate the group that you want to find.

Ask Your Network

You already know people who are in your industry and who likely do things that you do. Why not ask them if they’re part of any mastermind groups or if they know of any that they’d recommend.

Create Your Own

If you can’t find a good group, why not start and lead your own mastermind group. That way you can both give and get the support you need to reach your goals.
