The idea of having a mastermind group isn’t a new one. It’s been around for decades in various forms with good results. At RE Luxe Leaders, we have found it to be very effective for group coaching and accountability which we have been using for 20+ years now. In fact, it’s a core system we use for our teams and brokerages to accelerate growth.
The key for our system is to group agents and staff around common goals or interests. There is a population sweet spot for these groups and it’s in the 10-15 people range, although you can do them effectively with 5 to 20. Groups that need higher accountability can meet weekly, while those needing higher level focus can be monthly.
We tell our clients before they modify things too much or push back, try them for 4 sessions. The first session will be a bit awkward. The second you will get the flow. By the third, you will see lives start being changed.
Mastermind Group Meeting Overview
Before meeting
Everyone signs in on the sign in sheet. Everyone brings an issue or question they are wanting to address. “A” indicates it is a boring and urgent issue. “B” indicates it is important but not urgent. “Q” indicates it is a quick question. “KPI” is rated on a range from 1-5 on how they feel their business is going at the moment. “Money” is rated on a range from 1-5 on how they feel their financial situation is at the moment. “People” is rated on a range from 1-5 on how they feel the most important relationships to them are going at the moment. “Health” is rated on a range from 1-5 on how they feel their overall health and fitness is at the moment.
