Ladies and gentlemen,

Some weeks ago someone asked me I would bring books for sale to the event and I said I could do that. I don't remember who asked, but I promised I would bring some. For attendees they will be available at just $5 a piece (which is the INSIDERS bulk price and 50% under wholesale price).

If anyone wants to buy one (or a few) please let me know as I would like to plan by bringing enough copies, but not too many copies cuz the cases are kinda heavy. (I am staying at the casino.)

Thanks a bunch!

Getting excited!!

If possible, I would like 2 please!

I'll take one, but only if you sign it MJ.

Signing any of them won't be a problem at all, be happy to do so.

I would like 3! I let one of my friends borrow my book, never got it back. I would like to give a couple to my cousin and brother.

Kinda random but I bought a few extra books from you I think it was two or three years back to give to people and you signed one for my little brother. He FINALLY read it earlier this year and is now reading a ton of business, personal development, life changing books when he never used to read before. Maybe next year he'll finally want to come to the event, and maybe even have a good story to tell about his "process". :)

Also I get in at 16:34 tomorrow afternoon if anyone wants to split a cab/uber/whatever to TSR. Send me a pm!

I've enjoyed reading the other intros. I board a plane to Phoenix tomorrow afternoon, and will be at the resort sometime after 8 pm.

It's been several months since I posted this intro: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/greetings.63368/

Since then, I have a new goal of getting out of my current business in 2 years.

I started executing on an e-comm idea in December. I think I may have chosen the wrong idea to launch (there may not be enough need) but it felt important to pick something as I'd been spinning my wheels the previous 12 months. Will put lessons to use and keep moving forward regardless of the outcome of this particular idea.

I joined the forum after reading MJ's book which confirmed things that I had sensed were possible but had no evidence for in my daily life, in terms of what my peers, family, and friends were saying and doing. The book and the forums provided the evidence, so I jumped at the chance to attend this event. Ideas and beliefs exert a gravitational force. I'm feeling very grateful that I get to attend... in fact I'm so excited it's been hard to sleep!

I look forward to meeting you all soon.

I'll be touching down just before Noon tomorrow. I saw in the previous thread that a few of you guys were arriving somewhere around then. If people are still available to share a cab, and talk a bit I am down for that.

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/21-year-old-new-yorker-going-fastlane.58103/

These are two threads from last year that tell a bit about myself. Since last year, I have changed up a bit and am now in the Real Estate game, looking to bust into some big deals, and obtain my own properties. Along with that I am still dedicated to building an ecommernce business because I have tasted the success, and scale that the internet gives you.

MJ I would also like to buy 1 or 2 books.

Like everyone else, I'm super excited! I didn't see any plans posted anywhere, so is anybody up for hanging out Thursday night?

Very excited for this. Will touch down in Phoenix at around 3PM tomorrow. Still gotta pack tonight. I have no idea what to expect from the speakers so I bought a note pad to take notes and such down! LOL.

Is it common for members to pass out business cards to keep in touch at the event? I've always done so at networking events, but want to verify :)

I recommend bringing whatever method allows you to take notes the fastest. Some people bring laptops, others notepads. You'll be blown away by the information torrent.

Last of the inventory has been dropped off and boarding pass has been printed!

Now I just have to pack and make it to the airport. Touching down at 2:30 tomorrow.

Looking forward to meeting everyone and catching up with some of those that I met at the last B&P.
If anyone wants to buy one (or a few) please let me know as I would like to plan by bringing enough copies, but not too many copies cuz the cases are kinda heavy. (I am staying at the casino.)
I'll take at least one. I want 5 but not sure if my luggage can handle the added weight so I may just have to order the rest.

Looking forward to connecting with and learning from as many folks as I possibly can at the meetup!

When I first read TMF back in October of 2014, I remember reading the first part of the book and saying to myself "I'm going to meet MJ DeMarco someday".

Its been very inspiring to be a part of this forum and the excitement of being able to meet this community has been fueling my ambition big time.

MJ, I'd definitely like to buy another copy of your book. Mine is on the Kindle and I just bought a physical copy for the wife a few weeks back, but I want my own cuz she is immersed in hers right now.

***sidenote: I'm still open to volunteer for whatever if needed***

For anyone interested, Priceline has some cheap cheap cheap rental cars. I picked up a mid-sized car from Thursday-Sunday for like $14/day plus tax. All in for less than a round trip in a cab/uber.

Thanks for the heads up, Vig! Looked like rental prices dropped, so I re-booked.

For rental cars, I book through CostcoTravel (Costco membership required)... no upfront payment, cancel whenever, never had a problem honoring a reservation, and their prices are usually very competitive. And they use reliable vendors. I used to go through Hotwire, but have had some pretty bad experiences with certain discount agencies.

We get in tomorrow night, 6:30pm-ish. See you guys soon!

Just looked it up. Car rental is ~$100 or round trip cab ride is ~$100. Any reason to go with the car over the cab? Didn't know what the parking was like at the resort or if I really even needed a car besides just to get from the airport to the resort.

We're not staying at the resort, thus the need for a car. Parking is free at the resort. A car is handy for those who want to get away from the resort, or are staying extra days and want to explore town.

We've never needed a car for past meetups in Scottsdale. Top Golf (Friday night event) is within walking distance.

Will take two. One signed by you. One to give a friend if they're ready to take the leap like I did.
