    any interest in a SKYPE mastermind group?

    Hey is there any interest in a Skype mastermind group to share things and answer questions about say ewaste or even just scrapping in general? I have found it to be a great tool in other areas (my online marketing for my business for instance). Cool part is it is FREE and people can ask questions, get info or insight into this or that quickly....I was hoping we could get some of the experienced people in there for a true mastermind group.

    LMK if there is some interest and I can put it together.

    Thanks!!

    Personally, I like the type/read/respond format of a forum...I can go back and re-read the threads and take my time for a thought out reply.
    I like the PM feature of a typed forum also and we wouldn't have the good ole archives if we relied on Skype. Those not involved in the Skype
    would miss out on the conversation. I don't even Skype with my family, but that's just me.

    Also, I'm probably a better typist than I am a conversationalist, plus I
    have hair on my face and don't want to scare the members away.

    I agree and think your wife is better looking. I realize everyone has different preferences for communicating. Finding the advanced search button after a year on the forum was a major advancement in my technology skills. I cannot imagine trying to figure out how to SKYPE.

    I also like rereading the threads and the research I can do on the forum. I hope those that take part will still participate in the forum.

    In previous mastermind groups we always had a specific topic that was the central point of the nights discussion that was announced at the end of the previous weeks meeting and was led by that member(but the overall group was run by the person who created it). I would participate as a medium sized buyer as long as there are certain structures implemented. The group should run a certain amount of predetermined weeks and that means those that aren't there in the beginning two weeks will have to wait for the next mastermind session (6-8 weeks).Attendance will need to be mandatory and you cant miss more than one. If people are willing to share their knowledge and insight it is only fair that those participating make a commitment. A limited amount of people should be allowed each cycle to keep it where we can really digest info and talk...Once a cycle of sessions is over a new session could begin and the old group could continue on if they choose a second level of weekly meetings that they might take on themselves..
    Good idea Charles
