Are people millionaires in this forum?

[GuestUser305]

So this forum is about the fast lane. Almost everybody in here aims for the big money so that one can life in freedom. Since I am pretty new to this forum I just know two actual millionaires. MJ De Marco and Grumpy Cat ( https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/well-im-officially-a-millionaire.63129/ ). Is anybodies bark just bigger than their bite? Because I don't know sometimes whether to listen or not to advice from people in this forum. Like MJ De Marco said in this book, there is always this "all-known uncle" who can tell you the molecular structure of antimatter. Why shouldn't I assume that this forum is full of fat uncles who tell you how to lose body fat and get those abs going on ?

This isn't the first time someone started a thread like this here and it never goes well.
Yes, there are many millionaires on the forum. No, they're not the majority.
You'll figure out who to listen to as time goes on.
I'd use the Rep Bank as a starting point and adjust from there.

The essential point is: who gives a shit if you follow the advice or not? You're the only one with skin in the game.
For what it's worth, you should never follow anybody's advice blindly - millionaire or broke, the advice can be bad just the same. You should take ideas and evaluate them yourself.

When you start to test advice it gets really clear whether or not it's useful for you.

Even a millionaire's advice may not be million dollar advice if you don't do something with it.

Even if you do do something with it, it may end in failure.

There are millionaires here who give useful advice. There are non-millionaires here who give useful advice.

There are people of both types that also give non-useful advice.

Test the advice that seems useful for you, and if you get positive results use it.

If you read The Millionaire Fastlane and never use the advice, was it really useful for you?

Critical Thinking Questions
• Does the advice seem useful? Does it feel useful?
• Does it answer my question from my perspective, or does it just tell me what I should do?
• Does it come from someone with some kind of results?
• How can I discover their results? (read their profile? read their posts?)
• How can I make the advice useful even if it doesn't seem useful?
• If the advice seems useful, or if I think I can make it useful, how can I test it fast and get real results?

I know a number of millionaires outside the forum whose advice I wouldn't take.

When reading threads and absorbing advice I look to the entire process being described and how I can benefit from it, rather than the event of 'having a million dollar worth'.

Just remember if you're valuing someone's opinion largely on how much money they say they have, there are a number of Nigerian bankers who'd be thrilled to talk to you

The information here comes from a rich and diversified community. Many nationalities, income groups, age ranges and people with experiences in all walks of life, and at all levels. You have people who were rich and went broke and people who were deep in debt but are now living the fastlane life.

Everyone has something of value to contribute from the lessons learned in their own personal journeys. Many of us here hope that by passing this information on we can help our community avoid the same mistakes and have richer life because of it.

If being a millionaire is your sole filter for taking advice then you will sorely miss out on the wealth of knowledge that is available to you.

Nope no millionaires here from fastlane. Everyone here inherited wealth from dead family members. Were just sharing stories here of our good fortune and luck. If you haven't inherited anything sorry but your shit out of luck.

People just have a lot of nerve making comments on here without even really giving the forum a chance. All it really takes is looking at a few gold post to understand the reality.

Thankfully this forum is not like Reddit where they will ask a picture of your bank account if you say you make good money. After a while you begin to filter good and bad advice, but here are the criteria I follow when it comes to implementing anything :

1) Does it apply to my current situation? Does the person understand my current situation?
2) If I follow this advice, can I somehow gauge progress or lack of progress? Saying "you should do marketing" lacks ways to count progress whereas saying "you should split test and and check your CTR" is always solid.
3) Are they open to the idea they might be wrong? If they are wrong, what is the worst possible scenario?

Especially number 3 has been golden to me, not only when taking advice but also when deciding where to put my time and money.

"People take advice for two reasons. To do the opposite, or to blame you when it goes wrong."



In all seriousness though... I don't think I've ever met a millionaire who just dropped into the conversation that he/she was a millionaire. I don't recall *anyone* telling me their bank balance to be honest... Not IRL anyway.

At one point in my life, I was worth

-$1,000,000 (+\-). Negative. Roughly $1 million in the hole.

One of my favorite posters on this forum was a fledgling author, mom, and working a regular job when she joined the forum.

She wouldn't have passed your stupid a$$, uneducated litmus test. You would've missed a diamond because somebody else polished up a piece of coal and told you it was a jewel.

Oh by the way she's a best-selling author now. Not that that matters.

I'm moving your post to the appropriate category. For the time being, please read more and post less.

After a month here you'll be able to easily tell who knows their stuff and who doesn't.
