defined as the coordination of
knowledge and effort in a
spirit of harmony, between
two or more people for the
attainment of a definite
purpose.

Mastermind Principle

man…

the Declaration of Independence
is also the best evidence of the
importance of maintaining
perfect harmony in a mastermind
alliance.
