I am taking a cruise on the world's largest cruise ship in early February. As long as MJ doesn't screw the dates up again this year, I'm in. :)

The old forum software had a lot more emoticons. I guess maybe that's a good change. However, there were several vile ones I enjoyed posting from my early days on the forum.

I'm concerned because I'm not receiving all the email notifications from this thread o_O

I'm getting sporadic ones, like I got Jon.a's but none of Vig's or Iwokeup's posts.

@Vigilante - are you messing with my settings? ha ;)

You only get a notification for each unread, so unless you logged in and viewed jon.a's before the others were posted, you woudlnt get an update for each post (thank goodness).

For those that went to the 2015 Summit... Are you on track? About 6 months remaining.
It's going. It's frustratingly slow but going. Drives me crazy that things aren't moving along faster. Feeling that it's time for Radical and Massive Action...

@Iwokeup I know it's difficult working to launch a new business while working the job you have. Also dealing with manufacturers and vendors is always a pain so I feel ya. However, it's time to put it in overdrive.

You've decided now that you won't have the funds next March? WTF. If you want to be there, you'd be there.
Been thinking about what everyone has said, and I've also decided to switch my way of thinking here. This could (and will likely be) invaluable in terms of my progression as an entrepreneur. With that said, count me in. I WILL NOT BE THE GUY THAT SAYS HE'S GOING AND DOESN'T SHOW UP. Count on my attendance.

The one thing I regret is missing the last one, (I read so many good things about it) but it won't happen again. So, I'll definitely be there.

When I started my first company, I met with an accountant. One of my first questions was "how much do you charge?"

He looked at me and smiled.

He said "We'll do everything we talked about. Then I will give you a bill. If I didn't save you way more than the bill, then don't pay it and we will go our separate ways. A good CPA is never an expense. Our job is to save you way more than you would ever pay us."

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
If you are worried about the nominal cost of this meetup, or agonizing over the cost of the hotel, the airfare, or your need to get off of work for a few days, leave the ticket for someone else and vow to look this opportunity up at the same time again next year.

There's only so many seats, it will sell out in the course of a few hours (or less) ---and the people that should be there know they need to be there as much as they need to breathe. The "cost" is a fraction of what you will take away.

Any idea as to when tickets will be going on sale? Any insight on prices? Sorry for the multiple (annoying) questions, but I'm PUMPED.

I'd rather not. Actually I just threw up a little in my mouth.

If last year is any indication the tickets would go on sale first part January. I don't remember the cost. Was it $395?

Last year I missed out on ticket alerts... got on the waiting list but that didn't work out.

Not this time!

To put what others have said into different words.

Don't ask yourself if you can afford to go.
Ask yourself if you can afford NOT to go.

I would love to go. I'm lucky that it's a short drive as well.

@Vigilante,

That was me for the first several years of B&P. I was dealing with surviving shit and just wasn't in the head space. But I kept tabs on the event because I was changing my mindset and finally pulled the trigger, last year.

I met some incredible people - I owe a bunch of you some shout outs - who engaged me in some heavy conversation that had me thinking about ideas and concepts in a whole new way. @Eskil - I owe you a phone call. We have a lot to catch up on!

I can't describe the experience of driving the 6 hours to Scottsdale from L.A, knowing: I didn't have to punch anyone's clock, business took care of itself...not skipping a beat in my absence, my family was ok and that I gave myself permission to take this trip when I quit working for an a$$ wipe owner less than a year earlier. It was, in short -

A beautiful feeling!:happy:

I plan to attend Fastlane Meetup 2016. For Pete's sake I downloaded Tapatalk to keep up with this thread and I can't F*ckin' stand apps. (No offense to all you app guys and gals out there!:))

You don't want to miss this event.

@MJ DeMarco -- I'm sure you've been getting bombarded with questions, but any idea of when the details for the event will be released? I would love to book flights/hotel as early as possible to lock in some good prices! Very excited to attend!

As soon as we lock down the information, we will post it. We obviously are shooting for sooner rather than later, like within the next 30 days.
