Mastermind vs. Newsletter vs. Consulting

[Millard Grubb]

So much opportunity, so little time.

I think that those of us who are entrepreneurs find that we don't have time to do all that we want to do.

So, we have to decide what we want to work on, who we want to work with and how we want to do it.

The title of this post was me just considering choices.

As I have mentioned in posts in the past, I like people. I also like to create and I like to do research. With that in mind, I have a few thoughts about things going on around us.

It doesn't matter how far technology takes us, businesses still need customers and a way to reach them effectively for low cost. Can AI help to get customers to the brick and mortar businesses? Will a customer newsletter help to retain customers? Will the customers buy more as a result?

I listened to a great internet marketer this week talk about having a Mastermind group of clients that he has a recording made on Monday and then answers questions on Thursday. You could expect that this format could work with retail businesses if you took questions after hours or set up a special message board or forum to field questions as you get them.

I would imagine there is no "best" way to help clients or businesses you are called to serve. A combination of methods that works for you or one way that you are most comfortable in using is the ticket.

The one question that I often wonder about is how to test all these great methods at the lowest possible cost? Because I like people, I often find myself just talking with people and trying new things.

I've got to hand it to Glenn Osborn with his tipping strategy. There is almost no better way to get people excited and wanting to talk and do good things than to tip lotto tickets everywhere you go.

When the rubber meets the road, I like having a small group of businesses to help with regular calls and a private newsletter with perks via the internet. In this way, I don't have to have a dozens and dozens of businesses to handle and actually just an easier work load to get a good living.
