Your Road Map For Success: A Mastermind
Group (B120A)
Success is not a destination; it is instead a process, a
life-long strategy of building on strengths, minimizing
weaknesses, and focusing on what's most important. A
Mastermind Group is a meeting of like-minded people
who are motivated and dedicated to making effective, lasting changes in their lives.
This group will study the book, "Your Road Map For
Success" by John C. Maxwell, and utilize the study materials, How to be a REAL Success. REAL stands for
Relationships, Equipping, Attitude, and Leadership.
Whether you're a civil servant or a corporate executive,
you'll achieve great things by understanding these four very
important success-building areas in which every respected
leader excels.
As the group moves through each lesson, we'll bring
our ideas and opinions together to help shape and mold
our understanding of the material in a way that is far superior to simply reading a book on your own. Our goal is to
help each member of the group increase his or her awareness and understanding about how to become an effective

locomotives and railcars rumbling through a miniaturized
National Parks landscape. Guests can take The Butterfly
Experience, a rare opportunity to interact with domestic
and exotic varieties and create a Flower Show keepsake or
terrarium in the Make & Take Studio.

music, and wine tastings. A popular Pop Up Beer Garden
