Andrew Carnegie commissioned Napoleon Hill to interview 504 of the most successful people of that era. Carnegie’s objective was to identify common success factors. That was in 1908 and Andrew Carnegie was supposed to have been the richest man in the world.

Twenty-nine years later, Napoleon Hill published the famous book, Think and Grow Rich. The book outlined thirteen principles that his many years of research had identified as being common to every really successful person on that list.

One of those principles was that no person achieves success alone. Hill called these associations a ‘master mind group’. The idea was that one head was better than two and two was better than three and so on.

Every really successful person had his own master mind group… a group of people that he relied on to give advice, criticize, encourage, motivate and inspire him. Collective intelligence, according to Hill’s theory, is greater than any single intelligence.

Applying this principle is central to gaining success in the internet market place. You must build your own master mind group. If you are involved in internet marketing, you have probably noticed that there are groups of marketers that work together.

The cross-promote one another’s products and services. In short…they are a group…a master mind group. You need a master mind group of your own.

The way to go about gathering together your own master mind group is through the associations that you just naturally make when you are engaged in internet marketing. From these contacts you build your own group of close associates that are knowledgeable and reliable.

It takes time and it takes patience but it is well worth both. Collectively you will all be stronger than as individuals. Two heads really are better than one and more than two is even better.
