This week I just completed reading listening to Jack Canfield's new book - The Success Principles ...

which I purchased on Audible. Canfield co-wrote the highly successful Chicken Soup for the Soul series. If you haven't read/listened to his new book, I highly recommend it if you are committed to success.

One of Canfield's suggestions is to join or launch a Mastermind Group. A Mastermind Group is a regular gathering of individuals from different industries and walks of life who meet in person or via phone on a semi-regular basis to brainstorm solutions to challenges one or more members are facing on the road to success. It's very similar to Ben Franklin's Junto.

If Ben Franklin were alive today, I know he'd be a blogger. And I also believe he would form a Junto or Mastermind Group consisting of fellow bloggers from other industries. That's what I am planning to do. TL Pakii Pierce and I are starting our own Mastermind Group. We plan to meet every so often via Skype.

If you blog and would like to join our group and don't work in PR, shoot me an email. We need to keep this group small, so we can't accommodate everyone, but I'd love to hear from folks who are interested in Masterminding with us.
