Question of the Day, Dec 1
Sticking to the business theme today. If you were able to build your own mastermind group, what types of unique skills would you look for?
Okay, what’s a ‘mastermind group’? The CFR? Bildeburgers?
Children, those three are fiction; dumber than a social organizer, Hollywood actress, and a New Age government economist or scientist. You want smart, think God.
Lysander –
No, a mastermind group is not (necessarily) a group with an evil purpose. Although I guess it could be.
A mastermind group is a group of people united for a common purpose to think about and discuss ideas and to work towards a common goal. Getting a group of people who want to learn to invest in real estate, for instance.
Right now, I am working on assembling a mastermind group. As yet, there’s two of us. The intent is to learn the tools and techniques to develop businesses online. We play roles, much like the Smothers Brothers. My compadre has been researching this shit for years and is sharper than the average tack. He plays the straight man, Dick.
Me? I’m the big dumb goofy guy, in the style of Tommy.
He’s given me a list of assignments and classes to take online so I can begin to grok this stuff out.
For me, I need someone who:
1) Has the time to devote to such a group.
2) Knows the subject matter
3) Can break an overwhelming amount of material down into simple, bite-sized chunks
4) Develop me a list of 3-4 actionable items every week to develop said business
5) Hold me accountable to those items the following week.
I’m envisioning doing all this in a podcast style format. The idea would be that if someone can teach me to run a successful business online, than ANYONE can run a successful business online.
Tim, I’m going to get back to llpoh’s point, which I mentioned yesterday. The skillset, while critically important, still is nothing compared to the stark viability of the business in question. I tell my guys, you want to be an idea guy? Realize 95% of your ideas are going to suck, even if you’re really good. Better have the emotional armour to accept that
@ Tim…Okay, I get it now. I’m not your guy, but I do occasionally come up with some good ideas.
All that’s needed is a group of INTJs.
I would hire only people from TBP.
Start with bb. Every company has an idiot no matter how hard they try not to have an idiot. Might as well get it out of the way.
Hire Bea Lever to make excuses. “Those widgets aren’t selling because your anus is in the 7th moon of Mars which caused our production facility to fall at free fall speed on our winding machine thingamajiggy.”
Hire Llpoh to eventually fire bb and Bea Lever.
Hire TE and then fire her for not reporting to work. Will someone please tell me what the hell happened to her????
Hire Billy as Community Relations Spokesman. Put him in charge of the Newark-Camden region.
Perfect Xmas gift for Stuck
Hey Stucky…….blow me !!
I would not hire Stucky , Llpoh or SSS (The Holy Trinity of Bullshit) as they do not have a clue. Llpoh could try to fire me at which point I would buy the company and fire him. heh
**Actualy Llpoh has a clue but he is part of the trinity.
Hardy Har Har Stuck, Admin hit below the belt!
The ultimate partner is a dumbass millenial with powerful connections – problems would solve themselves and you’d be busy buying gel pens to keep writing deposit slips.
Stucky , go to your room and masturbate. I know that’s what is wrong with you.Get that out of the way then come back .
Stucky says:
“Start with bb. Every company has an idiot no matter how hard they try not to have an idiot. Might as well get it out of the way.”
bb is the Chumlee of TBP!
Any mastermind group culled from TBP would have to include llpoh and admin at a minimum. Llpoh for being hard assed, no bullshit and decisive and admin to keep a tight rein on da samolians! I’d play the role of fly on the wall!
Seems to me we’re not doing so well with the present “masterminds groups” (CFR, Trilateral Commission, G20, etc. etc.) In fact we might get better results just letting Alfred E. Neuman run the show…..no wait!

Admin’s in. Billy or LLPOH can be the idiot. BB’s too smart. Is that what G20 is? Epic fail. I was more looking for positions / personality types than actual geniuses like BB, Admin & Bea. Stucky can be the Sergeant at arms. He’s like 7’1″.
A mastermind group sounds like something along the lines of a clusterfuck.
