How to promote an event in New Orleans

MONDAY MORNING REMINDER: You don’t have to build it alone. 👊

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned in business is that having the right people in your corner can change everything.

The right introduction.
The right advice.
The right person willing to pick up the phone and help.

You don’t have to have every answer. You just need good people around you who are willing to say, “I know somebody who can help.”

That’s the kind of network we’re building.

And apparently Bailey has decided he’s Head of Networking. 😂🐾

Let’s have a great week everybody!

WE'RE DOING SOME RESEARCH — AND I WANT YOUR OPINION.

At Manfre & Associates Consulting Services, part of what we do is look for gaps in markets, study consumer behavior and identify opportunities where businesses can create better solutions.

One area we're currently studying:

The rapidly changing weight-management and GLP-1 market.

Millions of people are talking about losing weight.

But I think there's a much bigger conversation that isn't getting enough attention:

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

What happens when someone reaches their goal?

What happens if they stop the medication?

What happens when the weight starts coming back?

What role do stress, emotional eating, habits and behavioral health play?

And should a weight-management program be about more than simply getting an injection?

Research we've been reviewing raises some interesting questions about GLP-1 discontinuation and long-term weight maintenance.

So before talking about building another program, we want to listen.

If you currently use a GLP-1, previously used one, or have considered one:

What's your biggest concern?

A. Cost
B. Side effects
C. Regaining the weight
D. Staying on medication long-term
E. Finding a trustworthy provider
F. Changing eating/lifestyle habits
G. Something else

👇 Put your letter in the comments—or tell us what we're missing.

We're researching where the market is going and what people actually need.

Sometimes the best business opportunities start with a simple question:

“What problem still isn't being solved?”

Business owners… I want to hear FROM YOU on this one. 👀

What’s ONE thing you wish somebody had told you before you started your business?

Maybe it was about money.
Maybe it was about people.
Maybe it was something you had to learn the hard way.
(We've all been there…) 😂

I’ll go first…

And who knows! Your lesson might save another business owner from learning it the hard way.

How to get more customers for my business

25/09/2026

Most business mistakes aren’t unique.
Somebody else has already made yours.

That's one of the biggest lessons I've learned after decades in business. We waste a LOT of time trying to figure things out ourselves.

Bad hire? Someone's been there.
Expanded too fast? Someone's done it.
Didn't adapt quickly enough? There's a business owner who can tell you exactly what that cost them.

And today, standing still might be the biggest pitfall of all.

What worked yesterday isn't going to work tomorrow. If you're not figuring out what's next, I guarantee you, somebody else is.

That's why I believe so strongly in surrounding yourself with experienced people.

You don't need to make every mistake yourself to learn from it. That's what a good network should do.

Google can tell you WHO to call. But it can’t tell you WHO to trust.

Need an accountant? Google it.
Marketing help? Google it.
Financing? You’ll find thousands of options.

But when your money, reputation, or business is on the line, what do most of us actually do?

We call somebody we trust and ask, “Who do you know?”
And more importantly, "Who do you recommend?"

That’s how I’ve operated for decades, and at some point I became the guy receiving those phone calls.
And after enough years in business, I’ve built a pretty big list of answers to that question. 😂

That’s what we’re building with WYP.

Not a directory of names.
A network of people we can actually vouch for.

People we've worked with.
People we trust.
People we're willing to put our own reputation behind.

Because information isn't hard to find anymore.
Trust is.
And in business, knowing WHO can sometimes be more valuable than knowing HOW.
