Rant time - using @Droopynips as an example...

Who you are speaks so loudly I can't hear what you're saying - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Look, if you are so lazy to not even format your posts correctly then don't expect much response from these forums.
And don't expect much success in business either.

Why? Cause it screams at others that you are lazy. Lazy AF.
So lazy you can't even capitalise your "I"s or add in a full stop or comma.

Instead, you post everything in 2 seconds flat, and then expect everyone else to take chunks of their time to respond.

It is pure laziness, and it is also shows you have a massive entitled mindset.
Thinking that people here have to help you - but they don't.

"but i want success who here will help me i want this so bad?"

Probably no one - because you just straight up look like a total waste of time and effort.
Successful people on these forums love to help others, BUT only those who will actually be worth teaching.

They have to choose (with their limited time) to reply to your thread, or just move on to someone else's.

And when your username, profile pic, writing style and grammar ALL look super sloppy - then you are a bad investment.
You can't even make any effort to present yourself well - why would a top people try answer your sloppy low-quality questions?

So you just end up creating more and more lazy posts - with less and less people paying any attention.

It is actually so damaging to write in this style that plenty of people assume you MUST be trolling.
That maybe this is just some kind of joke, or that you are 11 years old and just got your first laptop.

This is how much damage a sloppy approach to life can get you. Your reputation becomes literally zero.

In @droppynips's example above he seems to want to learn copywriting...

"Is copywriting lucrative how can i learn it"

But here is what a top forum member quickly sees:

✓ - No full stop or comma
✓ - Money chasing language
✓ - Trolling / sloppy username
✓ - Profile pic that is equally as dumb
✓ - Small "i", so he can't even bother to write correctly (yet he wants to learn copywriting?)
✓ - Doesn't give any context as to why he is asking this (this being his nth post on some random idea)
✓ - Post shows he did zero research or even thinking first (the forum has full threads on this topic already)
✓ - Doesn't give any actually plan or purpose as to what he will do with the information (which is most likely nothing)

Maybe this sounds harsh, but successful people have a strong filter for who is worth helping.
Their time and advice is limited - so you best to show up looking like a good use of time.

---

Look, you can read this and say "screw this Fox guy, I will post however I want!" - and you do have that freedom.

But you don't get to decide how others will filter and classify you...

- As either an up-and-coming forum member with lots of potential
- Or another lazy joker passing by who is trying to use the forum as their personal assistant

And the vibe you give off is directly proportional to the help and support you will get.

"But what if I am not good at writing, or English isn't my first language"

Okay... but you can still take a few moments and run your writing through a basic text editor and grammar check.
And you don't have to be some fancy writer to give your question so basic formatting or stick a full-stop at the end.

People aren't looking to treat your post as an English essay - only that you are actually trying and worth helping.

So... if you are new and reading this, take a few moments every time you post and clean things up!
This little habit will mean this forum gives you a LOT more of its time, effort and knowledge.

And down the line that could equal a massive change in the results you get and the life you enjoy!

Thanks for this.
Perhaps it should be pinned so that most people see the moment they join.

There is a difference in this forum. Every post must add value. This is not some WhatsApp group of alumni making noise at each other. This is a very serious forum with very serious people.

This is the highest value university for the principles of business. Fastlane business. Business that brings freedom. Not some slave shop attendant business. Business that releases money from time. And frees the business person from time. You can't learn these things in university or college.

From the few months I have been.
I have learnt that:
Freelancing is not Fastlane
Consulting is not Fastlane
Doing what I love is just doing what I love, it doesn't necessarily make Fastlane.
No one went Fastlane just doing what he loves
Doing what I love is laziness
Selling free from my time is Fastlane
Using the law of exponents is Fastlane
Staying away from the financial markets till my escape number is met is Fastlane.


I read all of MJs books.

I think someone shouldn't post here without having read at least one of the books, especially Unscripted .

I have also noticed that someone from wherever drops and hasn’t understand the principles of Fastlane begins posting and causes arguments that take a lot people's attention. In the end no one benefits. Time is thrown.

I sign here that I will only post what really adds value to the forum. What someone Gold, Legendary or Epic is moved to like.

I will therefore not participate in threads discussing shit.

I wish I could see a little video of everyone on their profile. Every man getting the same equal words as someone else makes it easy to lump losers in with winners and winners in with losers just based off some text.

Irl I bet it’s mostly absolute dorks behind the screen. How many times have we been arguing with someone and it’s been the absolute biggest moron fart sniffer behind the other computer? Probably most of the time.

Not gonna lie but when I saw the title from the main page, I thought it would be written by someone from South Asia since I often see that pattern in the introduction threads.

And I died laughing when you actually posted someone's name with their stupid profile picture. Big lmao.

(My profile picture definitely isn't stupid)

@Raoul Duke LOL

Congrats on your progress.

At this rate, the entire forum will become shredded by the end of 2023.

I will try better but i think it is unfair to be treating me this way when i didnt mean to, i mean do you really require my whole backstory and motivation and autobiography as to why i want to learn copywriting and make money? I was actually trying to save you time by getting to the point as fast as possibule I feel like my way of asking was more streamlined and efficient but from now on i’ll share more of my motivations i guess, but to treat me this way, unreal :frown:. First the point system now this, also i scoured some other threads and saw users with the same post / like ratio as me whilst also being 2 year old accounts, but they arent moderated??? Unreal

Edit: also i read millionaire fastlane first, was super inspired and my mind was opened to the new world of possibilities and perspective, i then read unscripted and have further listened to it probably 2 times on audiobook and have many notes on specific parts i revisit, and read the rat race and listened to it also, so i am truly very much wanting to be a part of this forum and hope to be fastlane eventually it is all i think about 24/7 because my siblings are in very big financial trouble

Totally agree @Isaac Odongo!

I’ve read TMF & Unscripted and now am in the process of summarizing it so I can rinze & repeat the nuggets. Meantime I’m more a reader than a poster looking at the gold from the ‘innercirle’ contributors (thanks all)!

At the moment I’m doing a freelance project to build up funds to have the ‘freedom’ to focus on building a fastlane business. Becoming a ‘valuechaser’ and listening to needs around me to possibly deliver value.

I’m looking forward to your meaningful discussions! :)

This is a prime example of someone that is humble enough to listen to feedback and learn from their mistakes:


Anyone else would have requested an account deletion and just left.

Congratulations once again @Droopynips , you're on the right path.

Guess who currently has the recent top post? @Droopynips

Speaking from a place of authenticity, experience, and helpfulness often lands top posts.

Keep it up.
