I've been doing something since October that was initially just two of us, but is now three. The criteria for joining was the person had to be of sound character, open-minded and ambitious. They dont necessarily have to be part of a start-up. I initially did something on Skype, but i didnt feel it worked as well as it could have, so moved it offline. We meet once a week, and we congratulate each other on our achievements on the week, then we 'reflect' on our challengers from the previous week, and then we discuss our challenges for the next week. the whole thing lasts about 3 or 4 hours. I took some inspiration from another mastermind group i attended online last january, and then built upon it further in the way that i felt it worked for me. I'm really glad i took the step. Initially it was really hard to come up with a working structure, but the guy that joined the group was me was very flexible and open-minded, so got the thing refined in just a few weeks, and now i feel it works great. Has really helped me think differently about things, and learn more than i could have done on my own, and with assurity i can say, its had the same result for the other 2 guys now. We just felt it works much better face to face. We've all been very dedicated to it, and we dont just discuss professional achievements and challenges , but personal ones too (within reason). Just thought i'd share (not bragging ;-) )
