But how can writers, filmmakers, musicians, and other artists benefit from such an idea if their goal is not merely to generate the most profit, but also to preserve their creative freedom and acquire meaning through their work?
Enter The Mastermind Failure Club, which combines two principles—
Mastermind Groups: Business leaders and entrepreneurs put their heads together to develop strategic solutions for complex problems.Failure Clubs: Participants take on impossibly high goals and nevertheless set out to achieve them.These two ideas comprise the yin and yang of the group—emphasizing the importance of moving forward in your work and art, while simultaneously addressing the necessity of risk and likelihood of failures.
