My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Host free educational seminars for industry professionals to build relationships and demonstrate expertise
Why It Works
Industry professionals are always looking for new approaches and ideas. Free value builds trust and credibility faster than sales pitches
Prerequisites
How to Execute
Identify industry groups and professional associations
Develop content around your unique approaches and results
Offer free venue and refreshments for seminars
Focus on teaching rather than selling during sessions
When It Fails
When content is too sales-focused, when you don't have genuinely valuable insights to share, when industry is not open to new approaches
Real Example
“Minor league baseball team owner hosts seminars for other team managers about fan engagement tactics, leading to consulting opportunities and industry recognition”
