步驟1：確定你的目標

Step One:Determine Your Purpose

The first step in putting together a mastermind alliance is to adopt a definite purpose for it to attain.(Who would board train without knowing where it went?) Obviously you cannot do this if you have not yet selected your own definite major purpose.You must be certain that the purpose of the alliance is either the same as yours or very closely aligned.

使智囊團發(fā)揮功效的第一個步驟，就是設立一個明確的 目標(誰愿意搭乘目的地不明確的火車呢?)很顯然的，如 果你連自己的明確目標都還沒有確定，是不可能進行其他工作的。

你必須確定智囊團的共同目標，就是你自己的明確目標，或至少應該非常接近你的目標。

If you have already written out your own definite major purpose and the means you will use attain it,this step will be familiar for you.Writing out the plan for your alliance's chain you must forge.Inevitably there will be links you have neither the skill nor the resources to join yourself,just as the conductor cannot simultaneously collect fares,work the dining car,and keep a hand on the throttle.This brings you to yours second step.

如果你已經(jīng)寫下自己的明確目標，以及達到目標的方法，則你對此一步驟應該就能駕輕就熟了。寫了智囊團的共同目標以及執(zhí)行計劃，可使你了解過程中的每一個環(huán)節(jié)，就像列車長不能同時收票、服務餐車旅客和駕駛火車一樣，你也無法一人處理所有環(huán)節(jié)的事務，這時候你就必須運用第二個步驟了。
