Hi everyone,

I hope your 2008 is going great.

One of the things we’re doing on our team to start 2008 right is  we’re running masterminds. I put together a conference call with the top leaders on my team and called it a mastermind.  The idea was to discuss 2008 and see if we could develop a plan to increase “action” and “duplication” on our team.

Some really great ideas came from this mastermind.  One of the first things we talked about was working with those that want it, those that deserve our time.  So we discussed ways to get them involved.  This lead to the idea that we can use this leadership call as incentive.  We could let a few of our team members know we have this leadership call and see who is willing to step up and take action to make themselves stand out as a leader.  It’s an exclusive group of people including the current distributor of the year in our company and 8 of the top 50 distributors in the entire company.  If you want to join this group and learn from us then you have to stand out and make yourself known.  Do your demos, take action daily, show consistency.

This is an idea you can use in your own teams.  You can develop a mastermind with the leaders on your team and use it as an incentive and privilege for those people who  work the hardest.

You know what’s best about this idea?

It doesn’t cost you anything.  Contests can cost a lot of money.  I’ve held contests in the past that cost me several thousand dollars in prizes for my team.  However a conference call is free.  You can host up to 150 people for free. All it takes is your time to put it together.

Plus the call makes your people feel special AND they can learn from one another.  They can learn what works and what doesn’t and your team can develop a unified method for training and sponsoring.

What do you think? Would you like to be a part of a leadership mastermind?
