What is a mastermind group?

A mastermind group is simply a structured group of like-minded people who are at similar places in their journey with many of the same goals.  It is the place for you to hone your skills and be with other really smart people to share ideas and knowledge to help you quickly get where you want to go.

The concept of the Mastermind group is a well known business strategy. It was originally described in the early 20th century author, Napoleon Hill, in his book Think and Grow Rich. The idea is that, when you get a group of creative and motivated professionals together the collective “genius” of the group creates solutions to problems that the individual members of the group wouldn’t have come up with on their own. The group creates a “mastermind” that allows them to brainstorm creative solutions to problems and challenges.

Mastermind groups meet regularly at a specific time each month with a structure and leadership to stay focused and on track. Meetings are limited to 1 hour and to only a few people (no more than 6 or 7 people).  Meetings are held through video conferencing. With the Practice of Therapy Mastermind Group, there is also access to a private Facebook Group so people can stay in contact and communicate between meetings.

Amy Porterfield, a leading business consultant, has a wonderful explanation and walk-through of Mastermind Groups in her podcast episode: "#193 Should I Join a Mastermind?"

What a Mastermind Group is NOT:

  • It is NOT group therapy
  • It is NOT a party or simple social gathering
  • It is NOT a place to gossip, vent or wine
  • It is NOT a place to compete or “one-up”

What a Mastermind Group IS:

  • Formal, structured and focused
  • Consistent
  • Encouraging, productive and inspiring
  • Action-oriented
  • Honest and unbiased feedback
  • Creative and cutting-edge
  • Provides accountability
  • Professional and confidential

How the Mastermind Group is structured:

  • Mastermind groups are small groups of 2-8 people.
  • Participants of the group are matched to the phase of practice you are in (Starting, Growing or Scaling)
  • Meet for no more than one hour each month by video conferencing.
  • Sharing of “wins” and “check-ins” from the previous month.
  • One person each month will have an opportunity to be on the “hot seat” so that attention is totally focused on them.
  • Communication with group members between meetings via private Facebook Group and/or Slack.
  • Setting goals and homework each month to put things into action.

This Mastermind Group is for you IF:

  • You are motivated and a good self-starter
  • You want a structured plan for yourself to grow your private practice
  • You have a solo private practice already and want to take it to the next level
  • You are open to brutally honest feedback
  • You want to define your specific practice niche
  • You want to learn the business and marketing side of a clinical practice
  • You want to learn about websites, blogging, social media and online marketing

  • You want to learn how to be financially independent and self-employed
  • You need a way to organize and focus your ideas and goals
  • You want to develop a business plan or explore business models for private practice
  • You want to learn how to create multiple streams of income in your private practice

This Mastermind Group ISN’T for you if:
