This forum was born.

It's born on date is July 23rd, 2007.

TODAY is the 7 year anniversary of the forum.

Years ago I started this place as an alternative to *another* forum which shall remain nameless. On that forum, most of the talk wasn't legitimate entrepreneurship, but perversions of it: MLM/Network marketing noise, internet marketing schemes, envelope stuffing schemes (PDF reports), email prospecting, and of course, a litany of worthless "I agree" posts from people who just wanted to get their affiliate link in as many places as possible.

Fast forward 7 years later, a best-selling book, and what we've built here is a nice little refuge founded on real entrepreneurship based on real products that reflect real value.

In these 7 years of running, operating, and growing a forum, I've learned a lot.

Maybe Ill share my wisdom here in the coming days...

In the meantime, thank you for being apart of a community where we can build great things and share with each other a platform to share those experiences. Thank you for being apart of a community where we accept our life-long mission to be producers and problem solvers. Thank you for being apart of a community where ethics and integrity is a part of the business model, not something forsakened or justified in lieu of an easy buck. Thank you for being apart of a community where we can commune and gather to discuss the rough-and-tough ride of entrepreneurship, a lifelong passion that sometimes can be the loneliest job on earth. Thank you for making Fastlane not something to do, try, or learn, but something you live and love.

I thank you.

:happy: :tiphat:

Your book and this forum, thanks to you and the people on it, have changed my life permanently.

I am extremely lucky and grateful to have found this place at the age of 18.

Most important takeaways that I've gotten from here, thanks to a few power members here:

  • Don't lie, don't cheat, don't steal. If you have to ask yourself if it's morally right, stay away.
  • Don't follow what others are doing just because you think it's the path to success. Learn from others, but blaze your own path.
  • Give value FIRST. When you give great value to a lot of people, money just... comes.
  • Don't be a dick, don't be a pussy, don't be an a**hole. But most important, don't be a pussy. Pick up the phone. Get on that plane. Arrive early.
  • Exceed their expectations. And raise your expectations, as well.
None of these takeaways were 'how to get rich in 90 days'. Funny how that works.

Thanks MJ for creating this place. Let's kick some a$$!

Happy Birthday. Thanks MJ for creating this Forum and writing the "The Millionaire Fastlane "....I have to say, I have learned so much about business from the thread content alone.

This place changed the game for me. Seriously, it'd take its own post to detail everything. THANK YOU MJ, Mod staff, etc. You guys rock.

Canada, eh!
Congrats on 7 years MJ. I've been here since nearly the start, and I've got to say this is hands down the best forum ever created. You keep things tight, spammers and trolls never get a foothold here unlike that *other* forum.

I've learned more here than anywhere. And while I don't post as much as I'd like, I hope to change that over time and help give back to this great forum as I gain more wisdom to share as my business continues to take off.

Awesome, Thank you for breaking out and starting something open yet cleaned of bullshit. I joined a few months after it started I think (will find out once i hit 'Post Reply'). I can honestly say that this forum altered the course of my life via knowledge, networking, and friendships. It has been a huge value to me, and a reflection of that value to the people around me.

THANK YOU MJ, I can't wait to poke sticks here for the next 7 years to come.

July 23rd 2007. Just trying to wrap my feeble brain around what my life would be like today if I'd joined this form two months after I graduated from college. I guess I'll know in 6.3 years.

In the 2-3 months I've been active on here, this forum has changed my life. My mentality, my outlook, my expectations, my actions...everything. It's had an invaluable impact on me. I'm just kicking myself for not joining on that day in 2007...the summer I graduated from high school.

How many startup incubators and accelerators have been started in the past 7 years? How much capital do they tie up? How much capital do they give away willy-nilly to naive hipsters trying to create their versions of utopia?

This place is such a breath of fresh air from all that crap. I have no numbers, but I bet if you created a ratio of [ economic value produced / capital invested ] of all these places, this community's ratio would handily top that of every other community's.

That's an admirable thing, and I'm honored to be a part of it. And I can't wait until the day I can add real value to it. This place is exceptional. Thank YOU, MJ.
