Don't go to mastermind with this friend of mine because he's like, I throw all my, because he's like, if I give him my best stuff, everyone will copy. So that was my first intro. I launched my first mastermind probably in 2011. So I've been doing masterminds a long time. I think, Phil, like you came to some of them.

I used to do like masterminds at my house in the hills and they would also transition into kind of like a party. I like that vibe because one thing I've learned with masterminds is if they're too formal, you can't get some of the best dudes like Forbes list guys. They don't necessarily want to go to a super strict one, but if you have some fun to it, they'll show up for the fun.

so yeah it was it was a game changer because i cut my philosophy on masterminds basically is you read the book the gospel of wealth by carnegie so second richest man in modern history is andrew carnegie first is jd rockefeller worth about 600 billion in today's dollars um and carnegie was worth about 400 billion so close but what i liked about carnegie carnegie early age around 25 30 he made his first couple mil and he said i'll never work more than two hours a day

But what he said he did was create a brain trust of really smart people around him. And he said, no matter, we often did not agree, he says in the Gospel of Wealth, but out of that brain trust came some of the ideas that took him from, while working two hours a day, took him to $400 billion net worth. So if you could be Rockefeller, Rockefeller worked like a dog.

Yeah. There was a dude I remember down in San Diego. He used to have a 5K mastermind. You did not want to go to that mastermind. There was no screening. Right. So I remember I went one time. I used to live down in San Diego, and he had a 5K. It was one year. You got, whatever, four events for $5,000. Yeah. The quality of the group. No offense to people, but it depends what level you're on.

Maybe if you're a brand new beginner. Yeah. You're not making any money really. Maybe a 5K mastermind is all you can afford and it will still be.
