From kitchen-table problem-solving groups to telephone or web-
based meetings of the minds, this book explains how to organ-
ize, run, and sustain a group dedicated to helping all its

that can transform your life!

Meet & Grow Richis truly a road map to success. As Bill Hibbler
and Joe Vitale describe, mastermind groups such as Ben
Franklin’s were responsible for major step forwards—like vol-
unteer fire departments, the first library, the first public hospi-
tal, paved streets, and the University of Pennsylvania. THINK
WHAT A MASTER MIND GROUP COULD DO FOR YOU!
Whether you’re creating a local group that meets face-to-face, or
a telephone-based group with members located throughout the
world, you’ll find the detailed information you need to succeed.

Nothing is more powerful in creating success than a powerful
mastermind group. Joe Vitale and Bill Hibbler have created the
fastest and most useful method of getting your mastermind
group to be smarter, more committed, and to get real results.
Don’t waste time trying to start one on your own, until you read
this book. My mastermind group is now inspiring 1000s of Hyp-
notherapists and has accelerated their business and marketing

expertise like nothing else could. The more knowledge we
share, the faster we learn. Why keep making the same mistakes
that others have made? Find out what doesn’t work, as fast as
you can! When you have an excellent mastermind group you
can hit the ground running. This book is the fastest way to do it.

What you have just provided the world with Meet & Grow Rich
is absolutely the most valuable resource I can imagine. This
book is a masterpiece and will help so many people tap into the
true power of the mastermind principle. Even though I’ve par-
ticipated in a number of mastermind groups for many years I
couldn’t put it down once I started reading. Well-written, enjoy-
able, and bursting at the seams with practical advice, ideas, and
insights. You have truly provided a simple and complete blue-
print anyone can follow easily.

The power of the mastermind is obvious to me—I’m living it.
I’m going to give a copy of this book to everybody I care about,
and I suggest that you do the same. If you truly care for some-
one, buy them a copy of this book. What could be a more valu-
able gift than success, freedom, and wealth?

Sometimes we can’t succeed in life working alone. Instead, it’s
often helpful to surround ourselves with people who share a
common purpose for complete and total success in life. In Meet
& Grow Rich, Joe describes numerous proven and effective
ways of using a “mastermind” group to greatly enhance your
health, wealth, and personal power. This book is witty, power-
ful, and wise—and I can’t recommend it highly enough.
