In “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” business coach Dale Carnegie shared a story of hiring his 19-year old niece, Josephine. When she made mistakes at her job early on, he felt what many entrepreneurs feel - a need to rebuke and correct her. Here’s how he recounted his internal dialogue:

Isolation at any age is bad. I’ll have to admit but when I was a young man in my earlier twenties it was horrifying. I remember having to make adult decisions with very little guidance.
Who do I marry? Where do I go to school? Am I qualified to start my own business or do I need to further my education? Do I live with my parents and save money or do I rent an apartment? Do I lease a new car or pay cash for an old clunker? Decision after decision was before me and I was not certain of any right move.
After trudging through years of trial and error I was introduced to the Mastermind concept. I was like, what is that? It’s where you meet with peers, colleagues, mentors, and entrepreneurs of like mind with specific goals in mind to accomplish. This is the 21st year that I have been in a mastermind weekly and it has revolutionized my personal and professional life.
Today, we have 15 mastermind groups for men, two for women and one opening in a couple weeks and now we are launching Iron Sharpens Iron Emerging Men for young men up to 25 years old. We have slashed the price in half making this affordable at only $275 per month. You will meet with ten men virtually every week for one hour and then attend two live events that will rock your world. I wished that there had been such an offering when I was this age. I can only imagine where I might be today.

Well, it’s Groundhog Day … again. If you’re a fan of the movie starring Bill Murray, you may remember the interesting change his character went through by getting stuck re-living his least favorite day of the year over and over.

October 2019, I asked Robin, my wife of 40 years, to attend the live event we were hosting for the Iron Sharpens Iron Mastermind for Men. The funny part is I had invited her eight previous times to attend, and she always said, “No, this is for the men, and I feel as though it would be awkward.” Every single time I pushed back and insisted, but she would not go. When I asked her last October, she accepted. I was so happy that she would finally get to experience a live event in person. On Saturday night, we had the awards banquet, which was off the chart amazing. Men from all over the world were overcome with gratitude and emotion as they stood there to receive their recognition. It was a live event for the record books!
