How can I run my own mastermind group?" created April 28, 2021, featuring Brad Hart. In the clip Hart coaches listeners on overcoming lack of confidence to run mastermind groups by "borrowing" confidence from successful mentors (read their books, buy courses, hire coaches), maintaining a bias for action and making micro-adjustments, and leveraging simple virtual tools (Zoom, Calendly, Google Drive). He also promotes his book (8minutemastermind.com) and a free training (mastermindvirtually.com) with claims about adding revenue and reducing time overhead.

So here's another question we get all the time about running your own mastermind group is, I don't feel confident. How can I run my own mastermind group if I don't feel confident in my expertise or in my ability to facilitate? And here's the thing is, confidence is kind of a paradox, right? There's confidence and there's evidence, and confidence is a result of having evidence. But you need evidence to feel confident. It's one of those paradox of life. So you can get around this simple chicken and the egg dichotomy by asking yourself one simple question. Who has the confidence I need? Because they have the results that I want. And how can I borrow their confidence in order to get the results so they can take action and get my own results? So now I have my own confidence. And once you know somebody like that, you must do whatever it takes to gain the knowledge that they have. You gotta read their books, you gotta buy their courses, you gotta attend their seminars, you gotta hire them as coach and you gotta enroll in programs because simply put, you got to invest in them so that they can invest in you. Because people pay attention to what they pay for and what pays them. And when you invest in a mentor, instead of just winging it and hoping people give you good advice, they're going to give you their best stuff. They're going to make sure that their reputation is on the line. So you're going to over deliver and get great testimonials and value from them. And you can borrow their confidence and resources and reputation until you have built the evidence that you need to have your own confidence welling up like a babbling brook and eventually a waterfall inside you. So that's my two quick tips on confidence. Another way is just have a bias for action. Make sure that you're taking action towards your goals and that you're staying in momentum. Because even if you're not like on a perfectly straight line, the fact that you're moving forward, even if you have to course correct here and there a little bit, means you'll get there. And a quick story to illustrate this is like, you know, a plane takes off from San Diego going to Hawaii. Do you think it gets blown off course? Of course. And you think it just crashed in the ocean because it got blown off course? Of course not. So minor adjustments along the way are part of any journey. And you have to understand that when you take off, you're gonna get blown off course slightly and you just gotta get back on course. So you just make those micro adjustments and they're much easier to make when you have that mentorship or that guidance from somebody who's done that before because they can tell you whether you're on the right track or not. So again, my name is Brad Hart. I would consider myself an expert at building masterminds. I've been a part of 30 of them. I've built dozens. I've helped hundreds and hundreds of people build them over the years. And I'd really love to give you what I've learned so that you can get your mastermind started, so that you can add $100,000 to your business bottom line and 5 to 10 hours a month of ongoing work without having to have a huge funnel or ads or a giant team or any big overhead.
