Masterminding Your Path Through the Coming Economic Turmoil
by Robert McGarvey
Bad times are coming at you. A recent Credit Union Times headline screamed: Preparing for COVID Loan Losses. The subhead multiplied the miseries: CUs are preparing for a wave of COVID-related loan losses, delinquencies, and bankruptcies.
Many credit unions will find their own futures in doubt. Some experts say 20% will close in the next few years.
You need new, sharp thoughts. Help!
What you need just may be a mastermind group.
Motivational writer Napoleon Hill spelled out why a mastermind group works magic in his book, Think and Grow Rich: “Analyze the record of any man who has accumulated a great fortune, and many of those who have accumulated modest fortunes, and you will find that they have either consciously, or unconsciously employed the ‘Master Mind’ principle.”
Wrote Hill: “It is a well-known fact that a group of electric batteries will provide more energy than a single battery. It is also a well-known fact that an individual battery will provide energy in proportion to the number and capacity of the cells it contains.”
