I would ultimately like to find a mastermind group that I could join to help further myself and others along their dream to success.

It is the Club In Action and they are more of a Mastermind group than a traditional REI.

We have a great network here in the area and have a monthly mastermind meetup if you are interested in meeting other local investors.

Step 1 for me was to gain specialized knowledge, so I joined a coaching program, participated in master mind and bootcamp type events and started to interact with people that were operating at a higher level than myself.Step 2- I asked others that I wanted to be like (people that owned portfolios, accredited investors, etc.) how I could bring them value.  

I am known to psychology majors as a "mastermind" and "inventor" and I am known to other business owners as a work system engineering (genius?)
