Okay, day 12, we're start out with my favorite song today apparently is Animals by Martin Garrigs. I've been listening to on repeat all day long. Creating the content, creating the slides, getting it done. We're just. Okay, have some fun. All right. Day 12 Build a mastermind Challenge. Really excited to have you back. My name is Brad Hart and this is Make More Marbles. And we're here to tell you all about how to build your mastermind. So without further ado and me fiddlefucking about, let's go ahead and share my screen so I can give you the goods. Here they are, day 12 of the build Mastermind Challenge. This is going to be the mastermind tools. In the last video, we talked about six key components of Mastermind, which is the castle, clarity, accountability, support, trust, leverage and execution. No, not execution. Engagement. Sorry. And now we're going to talk about the six tools that I have cherry picked for you out of the Build a Mastermind course to teach you how to fulfill on your mastermind and facilitate a world class epic mastermind. So the first thing you're going to do in any Mastermind formula is you want to invoke the gods above. What do I mean by that? You want to kind of like get the mastermind going. A mastermind is a collection of minds that is guided by a higher force in order to get more of that divine intelligence into your life, to solve your problems and to help you overcome your challenges. So the first way you do that is you start in a vibration of gratitude. So as soon as you introduce yourself, don't just go right into the challenge and talk about how everything's terrible and oh my God, I'm freaking out and everything's gonna be awful. Talk about how great life is, right? You got to find something you can celebrate. Gotta be something you're grateful for. The fact that you're there in a Mastermind with other high level people should be enough, right? But people will talk about all kinds of things. Their family, their kids, their travel, or all this stuff. So introductions, gratitude, and that can be really simple. It could just be as simple as who you are and what you do for 30 seconds, what you're grateful for, celebrating for 30 seconds. And then we can transition into the current challenge or current initiative. You need support with something you have a challenge with or something you want to move faster on. And then be concise with that. Make people think about it beforehand and deliver it in 60 seconds or less. This way you can keep Mastermind moving because otherwise people trolling on and on and on. You don't want that. You want to make sure that people are being served and also feel supported. And best way to do that is to keep the time moving as a facilitator. You don't want people dragging out. Okay, so next, clarity questions on the challenge. So this is your first tool. After you talked about gratitude and, you know, celebrations, that's really, really your first tool. That's like tool zero. This is the next main tool is having these clarifying questions. And I'm going to give you a bunch of clarifying questions. So you might want to pause the video and take some notes, but here they are. I'm going to read through them real quick. So if you can make this work, how would you. What's great about this? You know, how do you make this challenge a positive? Because challenges are what's given to you. When you have a desire in order to become the person who the things that they wanted originally show up for. What if you didn't know the answer right now? What's this costing you? Tap into the pain of the thing. What would your life or business look like if this problem is solved? What challenges might come up in the future as you execute so you can solve those now as well? What's the one challenge that solves will make all other challenges lesser or irrelevant? That's a powerful question because you're talking about primary domino effects. You're talking about prioritization. We're talking about solving the keystone challenge that solves all the other challenges for you. Since you know yourself better than anybody else, what tools, resources and support would you need to make this a reality? That's my favorite support type question. It's also one of my favorite sales questions. You might find it in sales script if you already bought it. If not, go check it out. It's billmastermind.com sales script. And what's the surprising way you could attack this problem? Shock and awe bring, you know, incredible firepower to the table and just overwhelm it with solutions. And then finally, do you feel supporter now and how co supports you? And that's not all. We have bonus questions. So we talked about that. I don't know why it's there twice, but it is. Who are the people in your life that might be disincentivized to support you? So talk about the negative, the haters, the secondary benefits, etc. Who likes the status quo, doesn't want to see the status quo. Change would be another way to think of that. If you succeed, who Wins and who loses? How can you make it a win? Win all around. What are the elements of your environment that need to shift to support your best habits most consistently? If you could wave a magic wand and fix any problem in your life or business, what would it be? Where you can make that specific to the question or challenge? You could go deep on the whys, similar to what we did earlier. We talked about your whys, and I think it was video three or four. You can talk about this with your clients, or you can go deep in why. Get them the motivation they need to solve the problems they need to solve, serve the people they need to serve and live their best life. Have a lot of fun doing it, Make a lot of money in the process. I'm really grateful for that process because it opened up so much for me and gave me the pathway to my ultimate success, which is really great. And that's why I'm here talking to you right now. Cool stuff, huh? So another great question to ask is, what do you want to achieve in your lifetime? Regardless whether it's currently possible or not, that's your ultimate, perfect future. Is a great way to influence people is to understand where they want to go and how to help them on the way to get there. Not that you have to get them all the way there. Like, I want to go to Mars. Well, you can go in steps, right? You can get some. Some of the way there, but you maybe not get all the way there unless you're Elon Musk, but even he will make that trivial eventually. Has anyone ever dealt with this before? Asking people to raise their hands that they don't feel alone? That's a really powerful thing. It's part of a mastermind is just understanding you're not alone. People deal with the same challenges. There's always the first dozen or two challenges that everybody deals with, always. So just understanding that you're not alone, you're not broken, and there's nothing wrong with you is really powerful. And then finally asking people in the group again to help this person. If one of your successful experiences could be relevant to this challenge, what could it possibly be? These are golden questions. All these questions are awesome. I want you to take this, write them down, bring it to your next mastermind, and crush as a facilitator.
