elBenbo’s first unofficial masterless mindless event
Published: Mon, 07/18/16
I moved to this hard-to-get-to (one of the hardest towns to get supplies to in the country, from what I hear) town last December to get away from congestion, traffic, crowds, meth heads, and lots of people (and get back to the ocean), only to have been visited by more people this year alone than all the time I spent living in the Burgle.
(Which is much more convenient for people to travel to.)
For example:
One of my consulting clients and “Email Players” subscribers (who wishes to remain anonymous — his market doesn’t like knowing he makes over six figures per month using the email methods I taught him) visited me for a day in January. Shameless Shamus Brown (master sales trainer and one of the people who inspired me to do daily emails years ago) visited me last week. And, most recently, “Email Players” subscriber Curtis McNeil (who sallied forth here last weekend) ventured forth into Gargamel’s Village here too. Plus, there have been others like Oregon’s best wine maker (Dyson Paul of Hillcrest Winery), my droogie Tim Allen (who braved the wilderness to hang here on my birthday), and, before the year is over, this off-the-beaten-path town *might* possibly even see an appearance by my pal Dan Meredith, and a few others who are trying to figure out the logistics of how they can pull it off.
(It’s a 3 hour drive from the airport, not easy to get to.)
Anyway, here’s the reason I bring it up:
Every single time people come here it's not to talk bid'niz.
(It's just a party for us.)
And yet, every single time it happens, we all end up in the Irish pub in Old Town whipping up tons of exciting new business insights, ideas, inspiration, solutions, and game plans. The kind they would happily pay for.
All of which has inspired me to make this announcement:
I shalt put on a masterless mindless event.
(At the Irish pub mentioned above.)
Meaning:
No agenda, no fee (you just pay your own travel, lodging, food, etc, I want zero responsibility whatsoever) and no lecture, teaching, event planning, or agenda. Frankly, there isn't even any guarantee we'll talk about business.
Just shut up and drink your Guinness.
It’s practically the exact opposite of an actual mastermind.
If I can wing it, it’ll be this year.
And, I’m talking with Shane Hunter about having a similar thing over at my favorite San Diego winery, too.
(Again, hopefully this year.)
If this interests you, stay tuned to these emails.

P.S. Hear ye the words of Shameless Shamus Brown who says:
“I had to travel through miles and miles of dense forest. Passing rivers, lakes, and wandering by great oceans of water. And still when the moment to meet ElBenbo was nigh, the location of said Irish Pub was still a secret. Don't think it will be easy, nor even assured, that a meeting with ElBenbo will actually transpire. Count yourself lucky if it does.”
