00:00Hello, dear German learners!

00:03Today is about the exciting topic of Masterminds!

00:39The quick tip: Abstract grammar knowledge

00:45and memorized rules only help you

00:51to a certain degree.

00:55This knowledge can help you

00:58to check yourself (for errors).

01:01If you speak German or write German,

01:06then you can, with your grammar knowledge

01:10and your memorized rules,

01:15check this text (for errors). However, the problem is

01:22that the sentences don't right away,

01:26from the very start come to your brain like this.

01:31If you acquire a lot of German

01:34(that is, by reading and listening to a lot of German)

01:39then you have the advantage

01:41that the German sentences automatically

01:48come to your mind correct or mostly correct.

01:54What is a mastermind

01:56and why do I use an English word?

01:59Well, like many words in the German

02:03language, we have adopted this word

02:06from the English language

02:09or rather I don't know a good translation

02:12for that term ”Mastermind”.

02:15So, a mastermind

02:20is a meeting of several people,

02:25working towards a common goal.

02:31It could be described as

02:33a small community of people

02:35who support each other.

02:38A typical size for a Mastermind

02:42is two to five, six, seven people.

02:49These people talk to each other regularly -

02:55once a week, or even several times per week.

03:00In some Masterminds, it is the case

03:02that they talk once a month.

03:06They either meet

03:09or they talk with each other via the internet.

03:13The great thing about such a mastermind is

03:17that you have much more potential as a group!

03:23If you try as a group to achieve a goal,

03:29then you have a lot more resources

03:31which you can rely on,

03:34much more knowledge you can rely on.

03:39I am, for example, in a mastermind,

03:43so I talk every week with other people

03:49who also make something cool on the internet,

03:53who also try to give people something

03:59which helps them in their daily lives,

04:03who also run an online business.

04:06That is really great because we all really

04:14have the same goal. We do something different (from each other)

04:18but the principles that we need to apply

04:22in order to be successful are the same for everyone.

04:29So we support each other

04:31and we exchange ideas; we give each other advice;

04:35we encourage each other;

04:37we give each other motivation and inspiration

04:42and that's why I also want to talk with you

04:47about this concept

04:50because I want to recommend it to you as well.

04:55If you have a goal that you want to achieve,

05:00then my advice is: Find like minded people

05:05who give you strength, who give you motivation

05:09who give you tips, who go in the same direction

05:12as you and then you'll be much more successful.

05:21If you want to know more:

05:24So this concept ”masterminds” was,

05:30I think, invented first by Napoleon Hill

05:36or he was the first to

05:39talk about it in a book about it, as far as I know.

05:43The book is called Think and Grow Rich

05:46- in German something like ”think and grow rich”

05:50and rich means financially rich

05:56but also rich in life, rich in experience,

06:02rich in spiritual values.

06:06I can very much recommend this book.

06:09I will also make a review about it

06:12but that'll be in another video. This concept

06:19of a Mastermind I can very much recommend.

06:23Look for like-minded people - no matter what your goal is

06:28in life and surely you do that already.

06:32You do not call it mastermind

06:33but of course: If you're going to college,

06:37then you have other students,

06:41with which you learn together

06:44and also if you are working,

06:48then maybe you have colleagues,

06:50with whom you exchange ideas

06:51and the idea now is just:

06:56If you don't yet have it in one area,

07:01then perhaps you can consider

07:03(this is just an idea) if you could apply this concept

07:08also in this area,

07:11if you could also in other areas

07:13look for like-minded people.

07:17I want to make it short.

07:21It is actually a simple concept,

07:24but it can have a very large effect.

07:29And finally I would like to briefly

07:33thank my new patron - Barbara.

07:38Thank you, Barbara!

07:40If you find these videos helpful,

07:44if you get a lot out of these videos,

07:52then I would be happy,

07:54if you could go to the patreon page

07:57and maybe give me a small contribution as well

08:02so that this project I

08:04can continue to pursue also next year

08:07and that also in the coming months I

08:12can produce a video per day.

08:15I can only do it with your support

08:19and that's it for now with this video about Masterminds.

08:24I hope it was helpful for you;

08:26I hope it was inspirational;

08:29I hope I gave you some ideas

08:32and we'll see each other tomorrow. Bye!

08:38A small request at the end:

08:42Did you like this video?

08:45Are you participating in forums or in Facebook groups

08:51or in other communities,

08:55that are about learning German?

08:59Well, it would help me a lot

09:02if in these forums or groups, you

09:05could share my videos.

09:08So if you liked this video

09:10or if you have a favorite video of mine

09:14and have benefited a lot from it

09:17and learn German with me, then I would find it awesome

09:21if you could share them.

09:24Share them with your friends, share them in groups,

09:27share them in every community of German learners

09:34which you are part of.

09:37If perhaps you go to a German language course

09:40then you can share my videos as well

09:43and I would find really great

09:45if you could tell the people about me.

09:48That would help me a lot

09:51and I'd be very grateful to you for it.

09:55Thank you in advance!

09:58See you tomorrow. Bye!
