Succeeding at work and life is no easy task. Often it feels like it's you against the world. But what would it be like if you had a support group that could advise, encourage, and inspire you? What if this support group could help you focus on your goals and achieve them faster? Would you take advantage of such a group, if it existed?

If you don't know about mastermind groups, Meet and Grow Rich is a great introduction to them. A mastermind group is a powerful alliance between people who help support and enlighten each other on the road to success. However, it's much more than a support group for like-minded people. Mastermind groups bring together individuals who share the same goals and dreams and work together to achieve them. Though this book focuses primarily on using mastermind groups for achieving wealth and financial freedom, mastermind groups can be developed to focus on almost anything—from hobbies to spirituality to personal relationships. The only limit to what you can do with a mastermind group is your own imagination.

Meet and Grow Rich shows you how an effective mastermind group works, how to create and operate one yourself, and how to use it as a stepping stone to finan-cial success. You'll discover how great entrepreneurs like Andrew Carnegie and William Wrigley Jr. used mastermind groups to achieve profound success and how you can follow in their footsteps to achieve your own version of spectacular success.

In addition to comprehensive coverage of the ins and outs of mastermind groups, this complete resource includes tips and tactics from a long list of contributors with firsthand expert knowledge of the subject. No matter what your passion—from making money to making art—you'll find here all the expert advice and proven guidance you need to form your own inspiring, enlightening, and supportive mastermind group.
