As with anything else, it takes practice.

I’m toying with restarting one of my groups from last year, but opening it up to a more public audience. Not sure if the time commitment will be worth it. Would be good experience.

I completely agree. We’re going full circle as the internet/social media space becomes too saturated to deal with.

Remind me to talk about hashtags soon.

Networking has been on my mind lately. Traditional, in-person networking. I see this being very important as I move forward in my endeavors. I’m still in contact with some of the folks I met at Blog World, and in a way that would never happen with just e-networking.
Just thinking out loud here.

A mutually supportive group is quite difficult to develop with not totally impossible. On this particular element, inter-personal relationship is the key. This is a good blogging goal though; blogging without a supportive group could be a sad exercise. .-= elmot´s last blog ..Bro. Manny Pacquiao’s Divine Source of Strength and Power Revealed =-.

It is a conundrum … masterminds I think are difficult especially if they are cobbled together because of an event or….. I belong to several such groups. Like Marshall I have dialed in to just listen to some music. On the other hand, there is one that is still going strong two years from inception although the membership has dropped.

A friend and I have formed a mutual support society. We live in the same area so it helps. Once weekly we get together with our laptops, go on over to a cafe that has WIFI, and work on one or two issues we want to address/resolve. The food is good, the ambiance unique (it is at a place where literally, except for WIFI, time has stood still, so terribly charming). We don’t get a h… of a lot done, but what does get done moves each of us one step further, and we have FUN.

Re writing for money (as opposed to blogging for same), ie. getting paid to write … that is a difficult question/request/wish. It is probably best to join a writer’s group and gain from their experience, but then, you also need to identify the type of writing/content/publication and so the list goes on.

Methinks I have rambled on for long enough … and still the answer is void of voice!

Marshall, you will likely end up – de facto – leading the group you eventually find. Or leading at least one group.

I really liked your post today on off-the-grid espresso. Living without electricity is all fine and dandy. Living without hot coffee is quite another thing indeed.

Its really hard to develop that “mutually supportive” group. Always give to the group some and they will take care of you.

Last September I went to a weekend conference that resulted in the attendees being grouped together into mastermind groups. The diversity and experience in my 6 member group was great. Problem was that most got side tracked. I still call the teleconference number each week an listen to the on hold music each week. No one has joined me the last 3 weeks. No problem, I’ll just keep learning and seeking out my own personal group!
