Catchy title, isn’t it?

Most especially the “prison” part…

Pay Close Attention To This Blog Post.

This is an important post that
has tremendous relevance to your
real estate syndication business.

So I recommend reading it in
full immediately.

After all…

If you were on this week’s
client consulting call, you
would have heard I’d spent
Wednesday afternoon in prison.

The cells I found myself in
wreaked of stale “you-know-what”.

A foul odour indeed..

It was creepy.

It was stark.

It was a place no one wants to be.

In fact, it’s one of the
most well known prisons in
North America.

(perhaps even the world)

<><><><><><>
BUT HERE’S THE THING…I ENJOYED IT!
<><><><><><>

The reason?

Because I was killing time with
one of my Master Mind partners
before a flight back home.

So we hopped a boat and headed
to Alcatraz.

(you didn’t seriously think I was
REALLY in prison, did you…tsk tsk)

<><><><><><><>
WHAT’S ALL THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOUR BUSINESS?
<><><><><><><>

Great question.

Let me back up for a set…starting
first with the Master Mind.

As you know, I’m a big fan of
“Think & Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill.

So big, in fact, that I’m an associate
producer of the theatrical film
documentary on the book…

(we’ll save that story for another time)

Published in 1937, that book is one
of the all-time best sellers.

EVERY successful entrepreneur I know
has a copy in their library.

You see…

In Think & Grow Rich, one of the
17 Laws of Success which Hill wrote
about is to belong
to a Master Mind group.

 

More or less, as an real estate
entrepreneur, you should link yourself
to a core group too.

That group (no more than 20) should
consist of like-minded individuals,
who support and share with one another
key thoughts, information, and contacts
that enable everyone to make more money.

Also – They absolutely must be “Type A” personalities.

An example of how this worked back
when Think & Grow Rich was penned?

The Master Mind group of Andrew Carnegie,
John Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Henry
Ford, and JP Morgan.

Quite the inner circle of business power,
isn’t it?

<><><><><><><>
HOW’S THIS RELATE TO MY ‘PRISON DATE’ STORY?
<><><><><><><>

Fortunately, access to my first
Master Mind group began with
Mark Victor Hansen and Robert Allen.

Access to that group carried a
hefty up front investment
($35,000.00 for a year).

Was it worth it?

If you could imagine turning that
35 grand investment into millions…

Then yes, it was worth it.

I enjoyed (and prospered) emotionally,
spiritually, and financially from
that core inner circle during our
three year run.

My existing Master Mind is much the same.

And so, there I was in San Francisco,
engaging in joint business meetings
with one of my Master Mind members
whom we’ll call “Mr. X” for now.

(you’ll meet “Mr. X” on next week’s training).

<><><><><><><><
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION NOW & LISTEN UP
<><><><><><><><

Let me summarize the power of how
my single relationship with “Mr. X”
has panned out…

All from this master mind group
(or inner circle):

He and I were first introduced by
a mutualbusiness friend.

When “Mr. X” and I met over a cup
of coffee, we quickly found ways
to help one another.

(just imagine, total strangers almost
‘competing’ to see which one could
HELP the others’ business the most)

Only THREE WEEKS later, that cup
of coffee turned into $62,201.00 profit.

I’m sure you’d agree…

<><><><><><><><
THAT’S A DAMNED GOOD CUP OF COFFEE!
<><><><><><><><

“Mr. X” and I have had many more cups
of coffee since…

Once you’re in one Master Mind group,
you must be committed to them fully.

(often for an entire year)

And resist temptation to belong to
more than one Master Mind group.

For example, two weeks ago Roger Salam
(Tony Robbins former VP of Marketing),
and a good friend of John Assaraf’s,
called me up and  invited me to
join a Master Mind group he was just
finishing putting together.

The members were incredible.

Already, some of the most incredible
entrepreneurs I look up to and respect
had accepted Roger’s invitation.

Here are their names

Jim Fleck – top internet marketer
Jeff Kaller – Mr. preforeclosure
Lou Brown – 20yr motivational speaker
DC Fawcett – leading short sale investor
Michael Kimble – top marketer and copywriter
Dave Van Hoose – Founder and President of #35 Inc 500 company
Joel Bauer – infotainer.com (I met him in my corporate days…fantastic)

Remembering my committment, and
resisting the emotional urge to
get on board, I had to politely
turn Roger down.

(Roger and I are friends and JV Partners
in business, so he understood and didn’t
take it personally…although he
did call me five times just to be sure).

The bottom line is this:

RUN (don’t walk) and form your Master Mind
in your area.

1. Make sure you hold people accountable.
2. Make sure these people are professional.
3. Make sure these meetings are facilitated properly.

<><><><><><><><
OH – AND BY THE WAY…
<><><><><><><><

Make sure you “Trade Up”.

What do I mean by that?

Specifically….Master Mind with
entrepreneurs who are making at least
5 times MORE than you are.

In the sports arena, they call
it “Raising Your Game”

This weekend, go out and raise your game.

Figure out who to Master Mind with
month after month.

Find a big time entrepreneur in your
town, and invite them out for dinner
(on your dime).

You’ll be glad you did.

After all…who knows how much money
you’ll make, just for the price of a
cup of coffee:-)

To Massive Profits,
Brad Wozny

P.S. There’s a very good outline here from the
Napoleon Hill Foundation that tells  you
WHO you should – and HOW you should
form a mastermind alliance…

This is NOT just a bunch of friends meeting
for a social get together.  It’s about business.
