In the end, we all have to pretty much do the work ourselves, but having someone to share it with makes it more fun. @Sean - Ambitiousness is my experience as well. I know some very talented people who are not very ambitious! @Walter – This is one of the hugest benefits.

You need to have similarly ambitious people in the group. Less ambitious people will drag on the the group, slowing things down. This does not mean similarly skilled or similarly successful. Ambition seems to be the most important ingredient. 2. The benefit of working with a mastermind group may not be immediately obvious. It may take a while for the effects to sink in and start to propel your ventures forward. There are two things about mastermind groups that I have noticed:

I like to think of them as teams that operate individually with their members working in their own domains of expertise. One of my favorite things about them is setting accountability for myself. I can throw out a goal or milestone out to the group with the intent of achieving it. And rather than go it alone, I have the group for support along the way.
