You Don't Need a Plan. You Just Need One Person.

... let me repeat that: "You Don't Need a Plan. You Just Need One Person."

Most people who dream of building a mastermind group never start — because they're waiting until they have it all figured out.

The perfect format. The perfect six people. The perfect launch plan.

Here's the truth after 26 years of running these groups: you don't start with six people.

You start with one conversation.

The smallest possible step

Find one person. Not your best friend from college. Not your sibling.

....someone you've crossed paths with in a business context — someone you met at a seminar, saw contribute brilliantly in an online community, or kept running into through mutual connections.

.....someone whose thinking you respect.

....someone who's at a similar stage to where you are right now.

Reach out and say something like: "I've been thinking about starting a small weekly group — just two of us to begin with, to share challenges and hold each other accountable.

Want to try it for four weeks?"

That's it.

That's the whole plan.

Why two before six...?

Most people try to assemble a full group before they begin.

That's how you end up with strangers sitting on a Zoom call wondering why they're there.

When you start with two, something different happens. You talk honestly. You get to know each other's actual business — the real numbers, the real struggles, not the polished version.

You figure out what a great session actually feels like. You build a foundation before you build a group.

After four weeks, each of you finds one more person — together.

....You're not recruiting, you're co-curating. You both vouch for the next person.

That's how chemistry gets built in, not hoped for.

Four becomes five. Five becomes six. The whole group is 90 minutes a week.

What makes it work — and keep working?

The format is deliberately simple: meet once a week, same day, same time, every week.

Not twice a month.

Not when it's convenient.

Weekly because momentum is fragile, and consistency is what builds trust.

Each session, a few people get "hot seats" — time to bring a real challenge to the group and get honest input from people who actually know your situation.

No performance. No pitching. Just real conversation between people who are showing up for each other.

The groups that last years aren't the ones with the smartest people. They're the ones where people actually show up, give as much as they take, and have built enough trust to say the hard things.

The part nobody talks about

This doesn't cost anything to start. No platform. No curriculum. No tools beyond a video call and a group chat.

The investment is time — 90 minutes a week — and the willingness to be honest about where you actually are.

What you get back is perspective you can't buy, accountability you can't fake, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing you're not building alone.

After 26 years, I've never met a person who wished they'd waited longer to start.

So here's what I want to leave you with:

Who is the one person in your professional world — not a close friend, not a family member — whose perspective you genuinely respect, and who you think might be ready for something like this?

What's stopping you from sending them a message today?

And a second question:

When you imagine yourself 12 months from now, having shown up every single week with a small group of people who truly have your back

..... what would be different about the way you're building?
