Thanks for joining the Money Minds meetup group. If you would like to be the first to know whenever a new event is announced, please join our whatsapp group using the link; [https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg](https://chat.whatsapp.com/DPbMfZndPooGHSxFCLCKHg) \*Guinness World Record: Fastest Selling Non-Fiction Book in History\* \*\* OVER 5,000,000 COPIES SOLD IN THE $100M SERIES!! \*\* This book will show you the art of getting more customers to spend more money faster. If you have a business, this book will help you make more from it. If you don’t have a business, this will help you start one. If you have parents, this book will help you retire them. If you have rivals, this book will help you beat them. If you have monetary goals, this book will help you achieve them. I’m not a happiness guru, a fitness guru, an investing guru, or anything else. But, I can show you how to accelerate cash flow in a business - in other words - get more customers to spend more money in less time (over & over again). I know because it’s all I’ve done in my adult career. I crossed $100M net worth by age 31. Today: I buy and scale companies at my family office Acquisition.com. My side hustle: I make content showing how we do it. My joke life goal is to be the most jacked billionaire. My real-life goal is to die with nothing left to give. A little more about the book if you want that… A Money Model is a deliberate sequence of offers. It’s what you offer, when you offer, and how you offer it to make as much money as you can as fast as you can. Ideally, to make enough money from one customer to get and service at least two more customers in less than thirty days. And it rarely looks clean, but I break $100M Money Models into three stages: Stage I: Get Cash - Attraction Offers get more customers for less Stage II: Get More Cash - Upsell & Downsell Offers make more money from them faster Stage III: Get The Most Cash - Continuity Offers maximize their total money spent In real life, it happens like this... First, I get customers reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for themselves reliably. Then, I make sure they pay for other customers reliably. Then, I start maximizing each customer’s long-term value. Then, I spend as many advertising dollars as I can to print as much money as possible. This is my cookbook for making money. It took me over a decade to learn all these tactics. It’ll take you three hours. Use responsibly. Enjoy.

[The Board Walks](http://www.theboardwalks.com/) are for curious people who love deep conversations. If that sounds like you, **bring a thoughtful topic** and join us for a 5-mile walk (10,000+ steps!). **HOW IT WORKS** **Step 1: Bring a topic** Before you arrive, think of **one** topic you want to explore. A question. A thought that's been on your mind. An obsession you want to geek out on. This is your ticket to the event. **Step 2: Circle up & share** We gather in a circle. Your friendly walk host gives a speech to set the tone. Everyone shares: your name, what you're grateful for, and your topic. That's it. 60 seconds. **Step 3: Walk, talk & float** We walk 5 miles. You naturally drift into conversation with 2-3 people at a time, pulled by topics that spark your curiosity. When you're ready to move on, just say: "I'm going to float!" **Step 4: Feel more alive** Two hours flies by. You're back where you started — but you feel different. More alive. More energized. More connected to yourself and others. That's why regulars join 20+ times. *For more details, read our [Orientation Guide.](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation)* **HOW TO BRING A GREAT TOPIC** A great topic = something you're genuinely curious about. Recent topics include: * "What are you passionate about right now?" * "What makes a good friend?" * "What's a belief you used to hold that you've completely changed?" * "How do you want to be remembered?" * "What would you do if money wasn't a factor?" Think of your topic like the dish you're bringing to our conversational potluck. If everyone brings an A+ dish (i.e. energizing, uplifting, expansive), we'll all walk away feeling lighter and brighter. **WHAT TO EXPECT** This isn't a fitness event with casual chitchat. It's a walking think tank where we explore life's big questions together, beyond small talk. *If you're looking for light banter or a standard networking event, this probably isn't the right fit.* But if you crave depth, genuine connection, and conversations that make you feel alive? You'll love it here. **FAQ** * Wear casual athletic attire and sneakers. It's a long walk! * We have multiple first-timers at each event. We work hard to create a welcoming, inclusive, clique-free space. * We welcome people of **all** ages, backgrounds, and industries who align with the [intention](https://www.theboardwalks.com/ground-rules) of this space. * Rain or shine, we've been out here nearly every week since July 2022. If the event is cancelled, we'll let you know. * Dogs, babies in strollers, parents, and friends are welcome — please text/email them the event link so they can RSVP and prepare a topic! **LOGISTICS** * If you'll arrive over 10 minutes late, we suggest skipping the event. It's hard to find us once we start walking, and your host can't answer messages during the event. * This walk is designed for everyone to *move together at the same steady pace* (about 20 min/mile). This format works best when the whole group moves in unison. If you have mobility limitations, we kindly encourage you to find an event better suited to your needs. * Read our [Orientation Guide](https://www.theboardwalks.com/orientation) for full details. * If you enjoy the event, send **[this](http://www.theboardwalks.com/)** to a friend or sign up for our **[newsletter](https://theboardwalks.beehiiv.com/)**. We're in multiple cities with more on the way. 🤠👋 **IF YOU WANT TO GO DEEPER...** [The Board](https://stan.store/ellebeecher/p/the-board) is the next step: a high-trust collective for renaissance people devoted to creating, connecting, and building lives that light us up. * This is a global HQ for people who crave big talk, deep connection, and dream collaborations with people across industries.
