Year-End Mastermind Party Program

(What is your word of the year?)

I started 2015 off right with a Year-End Mastermind Party. We had it potluck-style, in the evening, at my house. We ate and chatted first, and then we got down to business.

(My Year-End Mastermind party, January 2015.)

There is untold power hidden within the folds of a mastermind group. Here's a suggested format you can use to uncover some of that goodness at your first/next mastermind party:

Bring:

Notebook and pen

Program:

• 7:30-8:00 Potluck and socializing
• 8:00-9:00 Round-the-Table Discussion
• Did you achieve last year's goals?/Evaluate how you did last year in terms of your goals.
• What is your focus for the new year? (business idea/ goal/ plan)
• What is your word for the year? (Your word for the year is like an affirmation; it backs up your focus and your belief in your abilities. My word for the year is "win" because I want to win in all of my endeavors.)
• 9:00-10:00 Listen to Audio: 
• "Biscuits, Fleas, and Pump-handles" by Zig Ziglar was played.
• 10:00-11:00 Round-the-Table Discussion
• Talk about a few of the notes you took during the audio presentation. What did you get out of it? How does it apply to you/make you think/make you feel? What does it make you think of? (This is just a great time to hear what resonates with the different people in the room.)

A goal-setting printable was provided at the end of the meeting so that everyone could take it home and work on it.

This format can be used for annual, bi-annual, and quarterly mastermind meetings, with a few variations. Hope you got an idea of what you can do! I'll be sharing the weekly mastermind format soon!

Note: When the discussions are taking place, although the flow is conversational, we try to let everyone speak one at a time.
