Hi Ronan, thanks for chiming in here. You’re definitely right about Napoleon Hill being the go-to quote subject on the topic. As you pointed out, mastermind groups are a very old practice (I was aware of the Renaissance connection! On a more literary level, many now regard King Authur’s Knights of the Round Table as a sort of mythic mastermind group) and while some of this I know is old hat to people who have lived the practice for a long time, many young freelancers and creatives are not familiar with the term or its rich history. I felt it was important to give a little of that background in the introduction to this guide.

Hi Karyn! Thanks a bunch for giving this a read and weighing in on the topic. Collaboration with other solos is so important and a point that many people almost need to reprogram their thinking on. We’d love to get your thoughts on optimizing the mastermind group!
