MASTERMIND IS THE NEW COLLABORATION

I have always loved the idea of being an entrepreneur. While many dread the idea of leaving their secured jobs into an unknown territory of self-employment and owing businesses, the reverse has been the case for me. I have also wanted to owe my own companies. This is because I realized quite early in life, the surest root to self-sufficiency is to own a business.
In the beginning, I started out in a partnership with a friend but I got my fingers burnt so badly. The scars on my fingers made me a one man riot squad. But I realized years later that a two-fold cord has more strength.

I realized that besides partnership, there is a thing called mastermind. Benjamin Franklin called it a Junto but Napoleon Hills called it in his classic book the master mind alliance.

Master mind is a coordination of knowledge and efforts of two or more people, who work towards a definite purpose in the spirit of harmony’ - Napoleon Hills

If you really wish to navigate through your challenges using collective intelligence, then mastermind is your rescue.
Mastermind is not collaboration, but mastermind helps you to collaborate. Mastermind requires you to form a community of an exclusive inner cycle of people who are problems solvers through brainstorming, accountability, feedback and sharing of personal experiences.

Many ideas are poorly thought out, because it’s a one man show. The new breed if educators and or edupreneurs in Nigeria and globally must form masterminds, people you might want to call inner cycle who will challenge your old and or new ideas, give you clarity and focus your focus.
This is the time to collaborate, but collaborate with masterminds.
