Part motivational speech, part insight from a man with proven methods, The 8-Minute Mastermind will help anyone who knows they have value to add identify a method for sharing that value and earning an incredible income at the same time!
I've personally run numerous mastermind programs and can tell you that it's definitely not for the faint of heart and you ABSOLUTELY must know who you are. Leadership starts with self-leadership. If you don't know who you are and what you have to offer, then you shouldn't be leading anyone. And this isn't a DIG, it's a FACT! We must all be students until we become the master.
If you've never been a part of a mastermind group, I encourage you to join one! Once you get to the point where you know who you are and what you want, you can start one of your own to help pass the torch! Brad Hart's book can help you refine what you have to offer and set up a system to deliver your unique value! Read Brad Hart's book when you are ready to take the step to leading your own mastermind!

Neat book. Got it after Brad was speaking at the Virtual Coach Expo. Really liked how he used masterminds to really create a community that thrives.
The book does a great job in structuring what a mastermind should look like for maximum effectiveness and efficiency. With large emphasis on the soft skills (being strict on time, leadership/facilitation, and not giving advice until they’re understood) it really shows what it takes to have a great group that is productive.
Book has great insights on how to conduct hot seats (activity where a member shares an issue they’re having fully, people ask questions, and then allow suggestions). Really cool. CASTLE is also a great acronym to remember the rules of engagement (Clarity, Accountability, Support, Trust, Leverage, Engagement). It has a series of good questions, and makes the process extremely simple.
Only big complaint I have is with it not explaining how to make money or charge people to enter this mastermind. The value that comes in is great, but for a nobody like me I can’t seem to see how it would constitute 500 or even 100 a month for this. The book pushes towards their training program, which makes sense. This was kind of promised in the subtitle of the book, but the main HowTo is to make a great free mastermind, so I give it some slack. It does that pretty well.
Can’t wait to apply these things to my own group of accountability partners. It’s a great model, and looking forward to see how this changes things
Edit: I do have to amend my complaint about it not explaining how to make money. It's a small section of the book (The 5 Simple Steps Section). It's an alright explanation that requires you to be more observant and attentive to your own mastermind group. It makes sense, so I have to give it credit.

The 8 Minute Mastermind is for anyone looking to grow their community to that next level. It offers a clear and concise format for running a successful mastermind.
Over the years I have gotten to partake as well as lead many hours of masterminds. Brad's book brought up alot of points I had overlooked. Questions that had not been asked in group before.
I am looking forward to bringing and applying these points to the mastermind group I belong to as well as starting another group shortly.
As a bonus to the book, Brad has a great podcast of the same name that brings another dimension to it. Tons of value add there.
Give it a go and apply the lessons well.

Great read. Looking forward to using it as a model to build my first mastermind. Great practical resource.
Read it again, this time as a reminder for the model and suggested question sets. If my circumstances were different, I'd be all in on using this to build a business around masterminds...

I like the author's heart of wanting to really help people. But he just jumps in and doesn't really explain what he's talking about. There are some gems but mostly the book is a bunch of testimonials.
