BusinessHow to Apply the Mastermind Principle

OWNWP.com Online Work Network for Web Professionals

In 1927 Napoleon

Hill wrote…

“The Master Mind may be

defined as the coordination of

knowledge and effort in a

spirit of harmony, between

two or more people for the

attainment of a definite

purpose.


America built upon the

Mastermind Principle

Perhaps the greatest document

ever conceived by the mind of

man…

the Declaration of Independence

is also the best evidence of the

importance of maintaining

perfect harmony in a mastermind

alliance.


Mastermind Principle Facts

1. Two or more people working together – in harmony.

2. Ability to borrow and/or use others:

Education

Experience

Influence

Capital

3. Benefit all whom you influence.

NOTE: The full knowledge and application of the Mastermind principle incorporates all of these rules, not just one or two.
