Publishing My Best Ideas: CGW Alumni NET
In order to keep my head from getting filled with good, yet old ideas, and to get some feedback on their value, I am currently in a 30 day experiment of fearlessly publishing every single idea I think is great and worth acting upon. Read the initial post about this if you want to know more: 30 Day Trial: Publishing My Best Ideas
Here’s the first of the ideas I got at some point and am still considering of great value. If you feel like it, tear them apart, show me the holes in them, or give me any feedback – even positive feedback is accepted. The point is for me to get a reality check on whether or not I’m deluding myself about the real value in my ideas. Oh, and if you want to use one of the ideas and do something with it, like create a project or business from it — it’s yours, you don’t even have to tell me or anyone else about it.
Project: CGW-alumni.net
Possible taglines:
Setting up your environment for success.
The Social Environment You Need To Succeed.
…
Domain cgwhub.net or cgw.net or cgwalumni.net or so — creating a community for CGW alumni and those who’d like to go to one of those workshops in the future and would like to start networking with CGW folks ahead of time, just like I did 6 months before coming to my first CGW.
These aspects would be included:
- Online Mastermind Group Creation — the site / staff aids you in creating a powerful mastermind group for yourself, which is one of the most powerful growth tools I am currently aware of
- private site, access ONLY to CGW alumni or aspiring ones — to keep the energy high, the level of positivity, support, encouragement, openness, … up!
- Powerful Regular Open Skype Calls — some could be mastermind group like, some less focused like the English weekly CGW Skype call
- Assisting in finding and connecting with people who’ve already achieved your goals, e.g. if you’d like to be financially abundant, the site will bring you millionaires who actually want to be friends with you (because you already have something they want to achieve or similar)
- Assisting in finding and connecting mentors who actively want to help you be successful in a career
- a certain amount of more or less direct access to Steve Pavlina, kind of like on the forums right now, but then again very different… more focused, more “predictable”, more tangible — Steve would have to profit from doing that of course, both in terms of the awesome people that he can hang out with there, and also in terms of money he gets for doing that
- (there’s more to be included in this project… I’ll complete the list with more ideas as they come to me…)
New Insights
- When I stopped focusing on which parts of an idea to communicate and which to keep secret I understood that how I communicate an idea is really important to whether or not someone else will actually understand it. I know, that’s not a very deep insight, but in my head that makes a whole lot of (new) sense

Hi Denis,
I like the idea very much! In fact I think you should call it growthmasters, as was suggested yesterday (whose idea was it? I love the name!). If it is connected to the attendance (or to signing up) to a CGW then it would add to the value of the workshops, which should make the whole interesting for Steve.
If it is also open for non-alumni it could be an interesting platform to “spread the word” to those who can’t go to Las Vegas. I think a mixed model would be interesting with different contributions from alumni and others.
Following your 30-day-trial idea: there could be a “dream tank” where ideas and dreams are shared so that others can make them reality. For example: I always wanted to have some usb-pedals with a couple of keys like ctrl, alt, shift, delete… for faster 10-finger-10-toe-typing.
Anyone interested? I offer myself as tester. =)
Cheers!

It’s awesome how fast you are acting on your ideas!
So to get things started I put the development site live.
Maybe we can use it as a base site for our Skype calls and develop it along the way.

Maria: Yeah, I like “growthmasters” and agree with you on everything you said. I’ll have to explore your suggestion for this new invention in my imagination and see if that works for me
Joachim: Thanks, and it’s great that you’re doing that, too! Keep it up!
