Fourteen months after finding this place and wow, what a difference it has made in my life. There is a knot of Mustachians in Richmond and I'd dare say we have all had pretty great years overall. Now I want to spread the word beyond the small knot on this site. I am an extrovert and a bit of a natural teacher / presenter, so I am thinking about how to present a Mustachian workshop to "spread the gospel", as it were. I haven't done this sort of thing before outside of some prepared talks I have given in the past, so I thought I would crowdsource the idea. Here's what I was thinking....
The workshop should be no longer than 90 minutes (anything beyond that and you start to lose people).
The theme of the workshop is saving money by spending less and using better alternatives, not "Mustachianism". That concept can be introduced as part of the workshop, but is not the core of it.
I work best from PowerPoint (and I can make a mean PowerPoint, no mind-numbing blank backgrounds with endless bullet points)
I would present this at the local public library or Jewish Community Center (which does all kinds of non-religious workshops, I am not Jewish myself) , both do this sort of thing all the time.
The focus on the workshop would be for people to put money back into their pocket by cutting out all the unnecessary fluff and optimizing their necessary purchases. It would focus on low-hanging fruit like cutting cable TV, family data plans, eating out so much, etc, and offer practical, real-life alternatives (HD OTA TV, Hulu, Netflix, IPDaley's amazing phone guide, cooking at home. The optimization part will include things like Costco, getting money from your credit card, etc.
So there's the concept. If you are so inclined dear reader, help me sort my thoughts and put this bad boy together. Thanks!
