The Easley Business Network will add mastermind sessions in 2014. In addition to networking and educational speakers, the mastermind sessions collectively help solve business problems or will even tackle a business issue at designated meetings. Members become trusted advisors to each other.
While mastermind groups have been around since business began, Benjamin Franklin even had one he called a “junto”, the idea was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill, in his famed book "Think And Grow Rich" written in 1937. Hill defined it as "The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony." He continues… "No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to a third mind [the master mind]."

Having taken a page from Hill’s book, The Easley Business Network’s mastermind sessions are designed to inspire and empower business and sales professionals to overcome negativity by using Objection Busters. An example of an Objection Buster topic is “how to get a prospect off the fence without blowing the deal.” Other examples of topics are, the group may watch a webinar and discuss the topic, or members may be asked to bring a resource to share with the others, whether it is the name of a new website, blog, or a hot-off-the press book. Topics for the sessions are suggested by members.
