TAMPA BAY, FL Fastlane Meetup

[Vigilante]

@MidwestLandlord it was evident last night you have a bunch of fans already (including me).

So you better keep delivering.

@MJ DeMarco people are grooving on your book announcement, title, and concept

Always great seeing photos and faces.

Had to Google derping though!

That didn't help...
derping. Verb. Present participle of derp.

 

[Scot]

@Duane and I appear to be very stoic about something.

Pretty sure I had 15-20 years on all of you punks. Waitress carded me though.

Did you tip her big?

 

[Esoteric Wealth]

Hope I wasn't too hard on the new kid.

Seemed like he took it well, and I got an indirect benefit as well.

Sometimes I fall back on the excuse that I want to build more capital or I need to wait until I'm able to get ungated on Amazon.

Ordering samples for eBay and starting a basic shopify website these upcoming two weeks.

Nothing like an in person meetup... @Vigilante lit the fire under all of us to take some action. I've already made my target list for licensing and will start making those calls this week.

@Vigilante "If you don't leave changed, you're wasting your time and our time."

Knowing how extremely valuable Vig's time is, this was big.
Thank You for spending time with us. We're already making things happen.

I thought my ears were burning that night.


If you, @Vigilante , say you are a fan...I must be doing something right!

Wish I coulda been there!

There's never a wrong time to be in Tampa in the winter. Even with some tropical force winds today... at least they aren't frozen.

If I were to invite you all to my office next week (Thursday) for a free lunch and a discussion on "startup bootstrapping" -

How many of you could make it? Office is in Tampa off of Veterans and Waters - 10 minutes from the airport.

I propose if your JOB is the reason you couldn't figure out how to make it, you might never find freedom.

I have no agenda other than kicking you out of your comfort zone.

Want to come over? 11:30AM - 1:00PM? I'll have Jimmy Johns bring some sandwiches over, but if you are on some weird diet bring your own hummus.

@Scot do you want to tag whom ever should come? If I get at least 4 confirmed, non-cancellable RSVP's we'll do it. Thursday April 13th, 11:30AM.

My conference room can only handle eight people, so only the first 7 positive RSVP's can attend. I will resurrect a short version of the "ruthless expense reduction" talk I gave a few years ago at the Fast Lane Summit Meeting.

You guys and gals all talk, or are you going to take some action?

Deal I'm in. This comes at a perfect time as I'm just bootstrapping my new concept.

I have a trainee with me next week, but oops, looks like I have to cut Thursday short on him, Ill just tell him I have a doctors appointment or something.

I just met @itmap yesterday for lunch, I think he'd make a great addition. @Ronak @Duane @S. Brown @Richard Espinosa and @UnrealCreative (if you can make that drive again). @eliquid you mentioned being in the area around this time too.

Mark me as an RSVP.

I'll PM the address to attendees when we hit critical mass. It will be good to see you again.

Sounds like a plan.

I get starved for actual in person entrepreneurial conversation, so it'll be good to be around people who actually get it again. Can't wait!

@Scot thanks for tagging, and thank you @Vigilante for putting this wonderful opportunity together.
Not RSVP'ing yet - making it down would be miraculous, but doable. So we'll see.

In the meantime for everyone else closer to the area:

GO.

Just go. You don't owe anyone an explanation.

...and come prepared with good questions - You'll regret not taking this time to pick Dave's brains (wish I had more!)

Will be there 100%.

I'll definitely be there with you guys/gals

Will cut my day short at my so called JOB since this is important for my personal growth and path to fastlane freedom.

OK. We are confirmed. Since my private messages are disabled on the forum, I will get the address to @Scot privately tomorrow and have him relay it to you all.

Should be a blast. See you all next week. It will be good to catch up on where everybody's been since the last time we were together also.
