Hello Reader,

In my thrilling adventure navigating the ever-evolving realms of corporations, small businesses, real estate investing, and corporate security & safety consulting, I’ve unearthed the incredible force that is collective wisdom. This guiding principle has not only shaped my tactics but also formed the bedrock of my core beliefs. As a leader, businessman, investor, and Corporate Security & Safety Consultant, I’ve come to realize the immense value of tapping into the power of collaboration.

In this debut newsletter edition, I’m excited to delve into the captivating world of Mastermind groups, harking back to Napoleon Hill’s groundbreaking vision. Join me as I unveil the inspiration behind the creation of the Glenview Mastermind, where innovation and leadership converge to shape a brighter future. Let’s embark on this journey together and unlock the secrets to success through shared knowledge and collective insight.


Unveiling the Birth of Mastermind Groups

In the fascinating world of collaboration and innovation, the term “Mastermind” was catapulted into the spotlight by Napoleon Hill in his iconic book, “Think and Grow Rich,” dating back to 1937. Hill introduced the Mastermind principle as a strategic fusion of knowledge and collective effort among individuals. Through the captivating narratives of visionaries like Andrew Carnegie, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison, Hill vividly showcased how a blend of mutual support and shared strengths could propel individuals towards extraordinary achievements that surpass their individual capabilities. Join me on this enlightening journey as we explore the genesis of Mastermind groups and the boundless possibilities they offer for personal and professional growth.

Embracing a Legacy of Collective Brilliance

Delving into the realm of Mastermind groups unveils a rich tapestry of collaborative brilliance. While Napoleon Hill may have formalized the concept, history reveals a tradition where luminaries from diverse fields gathered to exchange insights and champion each other’s endeavors. Though not explicitly termed as Mastermind groups, these historical gatherings exuded a shared ethos of collaborative wisdom and reciprocal empowerment. Join me as we celebrate this legacy of collective brilliance and explore the transformative power of unified intellect and support.


Venturing into Investment Masterminds

In the ever-shifting terrain of finance, the Mastermind principle found new avenues, venturing into the realm of investment. Investment-centric Mastermind groups began to emerge, bringing together both active and passive investors to swap strategies, ideas, and potential ventures. This tradition of pooling collective wisdom has played a pivotal role in the triumphs of many, echoing the collaborative spirit of investment titans such as Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger. Join me as we explore the exciting world of Investment Masterminds and uncover the secrets to success through shared knowledge and strategic partnerships.

  1. Collective Wisdom: Dive into a treasure trove of diverse knowledge and expertise.
  2. Accountability: Elevate your dedication to goals with shared responsibility.

The Story Behind Glenview Mastermind:

Fueled by the boundless possibilities of Mastermind groups and a deep-rooted love for real estate and self-storage investing, the inception of Glenview Mastermind was born. My mission was clear: to cultivate a hub where investors, developers, and operators could unite to exchange insights, tackle obstacles, and celebrate victories. Glenview Mastermind transcends mere association; it stands as a tight-knit community committed to uplifting each member through shared wisdom, experiences, and unwavering support. It embodies the belief that together, we can achieve feats far beyond our individual reach. From Napoleon Hill’s visionary concept to the modern landscape of investment Masterminds, the enduring essence of collaboration shines brightly. As we navigate the intricate pathways of the self-storage market, the core tenets of the Mastermind group serve as our compass, showcasing that shared intelligence, mutual accountability, and communal backing are the cornerstones of achieving greatness. Let’s harness the collective power of our Mastermind to unlock fresh opportunities and scale new summits in the realm of self-storage and small business together. Embracing authenticity and the relentless pursuit of becoming better humans, let’s continue to uplift each other, inspire growth, and forge a community where success is not just measured in profits but in the positive impact we create in the world.

The first open meeting and a webinar where I will provide an update on what I was working on for the last year is set up for Saturday, May 11th at 10 AM Central Time. To register for that event - please go to the ap24.obv.io

Work is a good thing for man-a good thing for his humanity-because through work man not only transforms nature, adapting it to his own needs, but he also achieves fulfilment as a human being and indeed, in a sense, becomes "more a human being"
