http://www.nitromarketing.com/g.o/greatsale, originally created by Matt Gill and Kevin Wilke is an excellent example of a mastermind group in action. I have watched as these guys have grown and continue to grow their Internet marketing empire to one of most profitable and innovative online today. They embrace mastermind principle to point of actively creating programs that bring new talent into their group.

Joint ventures are probably most common kind of online mastermind group where an arrangement is made between 2 or more parties for mutual benefit. For instance, I may have a product that would be of use to people in your mailing list. We put our minds together and come up with a way that I can send my offer out to your list and we both make some money or receive other benefits as a result.

In all walks of life and any endeavor Mastermind is a formidable force. If you have opportunity, associate yourself with like minded individuals and great things will be made possible.

As human beings, we were designed to take action. "Do something, even if it's wrong" became a popular saying some time back and it is no wonder. We value action and loathe inactivity. Knowing this, we can determine most powerful defining moments in our lives.

The most powerful defining moment in our life occurs immediately following decision not to do something. The action or lack of action at this moment leaves greatest impression on our lives, and we aren't even aware it happens!

I decided not to lie. Five simple words that carry with it powerful message: "I am honest. I can be trusted. I will not compromise my integrity". If we stick with this, we reap benefits. This is a positive example. Unfortunately we have become a society of people who focus on negative, so here's a negative example as well.

We decide to loose some weight. This is a good decision. We take action step of planning an exercise program. Again, this is good. The defining moments to this point are those of a person who will not only loose weight, but who will also follow through, take positive action and achieve success. The next morning when we wake up and decide NOT to exercise, all this is lost and we have defined ourselves as a person who will not loose weight, will not take action and will not be a success. In addition we define ourselves as failures. Each day, a new opportunity will come to define ourselves. The more days in a row we take either action will determine which person we are: exerciser (the success) or couch potato (the failure).

We must realize power of seemingly little decisions we make all day, each day. Decisions that happen in a blink of an eye carry with them consequences that will shape our personality, determine our integrity and control our destiny. These snippets of time are our defining moments.
