*A mastermind group is a peer-to-peer mentoring group used to help members solve their problems with input and advice from the other group members. The concept was coined in 1925 by author Napoleon Hill in his book The Law of Success and described in more detail in his 1937 book Think and Grow Rich.
Participation involves a commitment to meet for up to 1-1/2 hours every week or two weeks at a day and time agreed upon by group members.

Legacy Writers Go Public!
Beginning in January 2018, Encore NEO Legacy Writers began "Blog Your Way to a Book" under the tutelage of Patrick Culliton at the Geauga County Public Library.
Over the course of the project, they supported each other, set up their blogs, and shared their expertise and insights on topics for which they have much passion.
We invite you to take a look at their work below. Follow those blogs that resonate with you and feel free to offer your comments. Then pass the link along to others!
