Tool 6 - Prioritize daily tasks. A daily to-do list may seem like a haunting reminder of everything that needs to get done, but if you make this a part of your everyday routine, it makes prioritizing effortless. And you don’t have to depend on your memory! Once a task has been added to your list, you have just freed your mind-space for something else.

The first 15 minutes of each day is spent creating a to-do list and prioritizing each item based on estimated time to complete, importance, and best investment of time and energy based on other demands on time for that particular day (meetings, travel, long-term projects, etc.). It feels great to cross off items as each is completed and visually you will be reassured that you are indeed moving forward and accomplishing!

Tool 7 - Delegate, delegate, delegate! Delegating tasks frees you to focus your energy where it needs to be—on generating revenue and growing your business!

As soon as you begin to feel overwhelmed, make a list of jobs from your daily task list that can be delegated to competent hands and transfer ownership so you can focus on aspects of business that truly require your personal attention.

Getting to place where you are deeply overwhelmed can cause paralysis. Integrating these seven tools into your regular business routine will prevent overwhelm, but if you find yourself in midst of it as many of us do on occasion, ASSESS IT and ADDRESS IT before overwhelm gets best of you and becomes a bigger issue!

* A MasterMind group is a unique group of people utilizing MasterMind principles for achieving business and personal goals. MasterMind groups are held in-person and by telephone.

MasterMind Power

Power is essential for success and achievement of one's goals. Plans are of no value without sufficient power to translate them into action. Power refers to organized effort sufficient to manifest one's desires; Organized effort is created through MasterMind.

MasterMind power is defined as follows: "No two minds ever come together without, thereby, creating a third invisible, intangible force which may be likened to a third mind." The human mind is a form of energy, a part of it being spiritual in nature. When minds of two people are coordinated in a spirit of harmony, spiritual units of energy of each mind form an affinity, which constitutes power of MasterMind.

MasterMind Process

The process of MasterMinding may be likened to act of one who connects many batteries to a single transmission wire, thereby 'stepping up' power flowing over that line. Each mind, through principle of mind chemistry, stimulates all other minds in group, until mind energy becomes so great that it penetrates to, and connects with, universal energy, which in turn, touches every atom of entire universe. A MasterMind may be created through bringing together in a spirit of perfect harmony, two or more minds. Out of this harmonious blending of chemistry of minds creates a third mind, which may be appropriated and used by one or all of individual minds. This MasterMind will remain available as long as friendly, harmonious alliance between individual minds exists.

MasterMind Principles

We live in an awesome, wondrous, orderly universe; laws of which are carried out with exquisite precision. The MasterMind is Power Source that created and directs this incredible universe.

Every person is a personalized expression of MasterMind, and therefore has innate ability to tap into its power, genius and wisdom. The MasterMind steps are a scientific method of focusing power of thought for specific purpose of establishing a direct connection with MasterMind. As a result, thousands of people have demonstrated dramatic, positive changes in their lives, and have experienced happy, successful lives.

Through MasterMind process, you combine your own strength with that of at least one other person, as well as that of MasterMind. This principle is based on premise that combined energies of two or more like-minded individuals are many more times greater than sum of individual energies involved. Happiness is found in lending, doing, helping other members in your group achieve their goals, not merely possessing information about goal achieving. The "WIN-WIN" attitude is key to a successful Master Mind group: If I help you win, I win, too. The MasterMind principles also teach that other like-minded individuals can believe for you, and accept as true for you, things you may find difficult to conceive or believe for yourself.
