    Action Step: Start a Meetup. [check!]

    MEETUPS 
    @Writer check the title of this thread... "action step - start a meetup" I was in your position only a month ago, and my desire to meet with people who think like those from this forum was very strong, so I took action. Eliminate your limiting vocabulary (such as "Seems not") and re-read...

    Action Step: Start a Meetup. [check!]

    MEETUPS 
    Inertia. Once again this has been a humbling experience. One quick-minded thinker and fellow Fastlaner was among us this time. He knows the book, knows this forum, and knows the premise of the Meetup. Having one more Fastlaner in the group kept the discussion moving in the direction I have...

    Having had a significant and enduring career in IT which eventually lead me to a position as IS Director, there has been no angrier moment for me than the one when I recognized the injustice of the "at will employment" privilege of employers and employees. "You did an excellent job...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Right. But EVERY programmer can tell you this statement and they'd all be correct. So because you know some code, and you know what good code looks like, and you know what can be done with programming... You can vet the programmer and not get scammed. However you look at this, in this thread...

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Knowing how to code... trying to get something accomplished... This is what teaches you about what is POSSIBLE. If you've got Human Resource SYSTEMS or Rental SYSTEMS or Computer SYSTEMS in place and making a little cash flow from them... then KNOWING WHAT IS POSSIBLE could be the adjustment...

    Anyone in LA/OC wanna meetup?

    MEETUPS 
    @piesandak47 I started my meetup near me because nothing was close enough to me. There was a void. You can do it too. Be the organizer. Take action. Start your own community. Nobody WANTS to drive in LA, but we have to. In LA you gotta calculate drive time. HH is 34mi from RB. And while...

    When to find a partner...

    PEOPLE 
    It all will happen without her. It's a gift not to have that albatross... She gave me a peek into the mind of a narcissistic has-been, coulda-been-more, washed-up, self-googling, self-important, manipulative, do-it-for-me-now-because-I'm-famous-and-you're-not...

    When to find a partner...

    PEOPLE 
    I think it's been stated here, but I believe it's all about the EXECUTION. If you're tossing ideas around because you're brainstorming to come up with IDEAS... well, that's different from discussing YOUR IDEA with others. If you need to validate your idea, then there's a wealth of Gold threads...

    Thanks @Nate-NewVenture -- I am VERY pleased to hear you're joining us! My MEETUP thread has been interesting... because on this forum I've been forced to evaluate (1)my perception about what a meetup IS and (2)what kind of meeting I actually WANT and (3)are they the same thing, and (4)will...

    Applying My System to a Different Niche

    EXECUTION 
    I have a question: What's CENTS (next) for me? I have "ECST" figured, but need to vary my thinking on the "N" part. Right now I have a System in search of a niche. On one hand, I already do have a target niche market. On the other, I must find another niche to exploit with the same System...

    Per @MJ DeMarco, yesterday : This is INTERESTING based on my post above. So much for my charging a fee for Value on a meetup group I am modeling after TMF and this forum. Good CATCH for MJ - he's maintaining CONTROL of the BRAND. And here I was just trying to get ahead, knowing what I know...

    I'm wary of meetings with paid memberships or seminars with an "expert" or an event that looks fastlane-ish. What good is it to pay to hear from a panel spewing forth the words I've already read in TMF? And if I were to FIND this group (somewhere in LA) then what would it look like, and how...

    I was in an MLM and learned presentation skills. I sold insurance and learned cold calling. Now I am the Meetup organizer and I will learn [blank]. This is a good experience, and more good things will come from it, whatever they may be. I expect to outgrow the group, but certainly not for...

    Hi @Kyle Tully -- I started a meetup on Meetups.com and in a month I've got 50 members. The first and second meetings had five attendees, and although two had dropped, two were new. I attribute the success of the joins to my copywiting when I created the Meetup. I attribute the attendance to...

    Q: What's it like to be the smartest person in the room? The answer to that question is unfortunately, A: "I must be in the wrong room." That's how I feel today. Will this Meetup ever turn into a genuine Fastlane Entrepreneur group? It seems to me that the helpful interaction which...

    @JasonR, While the biggest lesson in this thread now happens to be about the cheating copycats, I expect that I won't forget some of the GOLD you've given to us all. THANK YOU I must say that a few of the best parts of this thread were all the HELPFUL links to information outside this forum...
