2016 Fastlane Summit (Official Ticket Sales, Speakers, Etc.)

[Vigilante]

OK, a few more.

6. Be transparent. We're way more interested in where you are heading than where you are at. It's ok to be real. It's OK that you're not at the top of the mountain. As long as you are climbing, we'll climb with you.

7. Be careful. We don't know all of the people there personally. We can't vouch for at least half of the attendees.

8. Don't be an a$$. There aren't points for challenging the speakers just for the sake of debate, as has on occasion been the case in the past. Absolutely engage, ask questions, and disagree if your disagreements are fact based. There's nobody that has been selected to speak that can't handle a give and take. Just be respectful, don't ask drunk questions, and don't be over the top. Keep in mind the speakers all volunteered because they feel they have something to share with you. Let thanks be the first words that come from your mouth. And, expect the audience to intercede if your question is over the top.

5. Don't judge. At the first meet-up, I spent a half hour on a soap box telling a newbie all about how he should be running his business. He took it all in, and I was happy to oblige with my superior intellect. Only found out a few days later that he could buy and sell me. His business was (and is) awesome. He was there to learn, and apparently I thought I was there to teach. I vow for this weekend to listen way more than I talk, and try and absorb as much of what is happening around me. I made a fatal and legendary mistake by talking when I should have been listening. It's not that I shouldn't have engaged, but I forgot that everyone has something to contribute. See if you can find it in each conversation you have.

Well said and highly applicable in many situations @Vigilante.

If you are new to the forum and/or have never posted an introductory post, you are going to want to take the time to do so now. There are a few people still in the shadows with a ticket to the event. If you want to be part of the party, you have to have a

tag, and the only way to get one is by posting an intro thread here :

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/forums/introductions-networking.16/

Make sure to reference the meetup in your intro headline so we can read it before we are in Scottsdale, and drop a link in this thread.

Thanks!

Here's my introduction I posted a while back:
https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/sidewalker-from-saskatchewan.62583/

Again, looking forward to meeting everyone and learning as much as possible.

 

[entrepreneur7]

First time attendee here, just posted my introduction:
https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/co...ian-renner-new-member-intro-phoenix-az.66258/

Can't wait to make sense of many of these inside jokes that are flying around. A lot of you sound like trouble (translation: fun).

FYI, I'm a local that works from home, so if anyone needs a ride from the airport then feel free to reach out.

Still waiting to hear from the following speakers with their brief introduction:

I can write one for everybody who doesn't submit.

Ever met a Sumatran bean farmer who was raised off the coast of Peru? You will once I'm done with intros.

... also, I should probably get you mine....

An exercise in copywriting?

I've already picked up a couple more intro's. @GlobalWealth sent in his but an intro written by you would be way more entertaining.

@Red - I have some great news.

I am pleased to announce....that I am now available to speak at the conference.

By the end of my presentation, I 100% guarantee ALL (yes ALL) attendees will be guaranteed the following:

1. No more limiting beliefs.
2. Remove ALL negative self talk.
3. In their minds and actions, they will already ALL be millionaires (during my presentation).
4. And last, but not least, they will become spiritually enlightened, and be one with the universe, allowing instant manifestation of everything they ever wanted in life.

Imagine how good you will look for having ^ THIS ^ presentation to happen at a conference YOU were a part of planning!

All that is yours... I'll just need $5,000 sent to my paypal account immediately to cover round trip flights from Denver to Phoenix, suites at The W, presentation fees, and "miscellaneous expenses" (At least $2,000 of that must be in singles - don't ask - @The truth knows what up).

Actually no... screw paypal - western union cash only.

So yeah, once we can get that over, I'll be ready to send over my intro for my 3 hour presentation spot.

I'll wear the black outfit you told me to wear

 

[Red]

Because I know this crew....


Do you guys have any interest in having this company on hand on Sunday morning?

Emergency IV





They are giving us a group rate of $90 a person for the basic 1L IV of fluids. No I'm not joking about this & I want to pre-reserve. If we get a few people on board, I would like to give them a heads up.

The company was started by a RN & they have a NMD & a firefighter/paramedic on board as well.

Please let me know so I can get a head count? I think this would be great for the night before/morning after?



This is NOT a part of the Meetup weekend & is NOT included in ticket pricing. This is just something extra that I thought might benefit some of our attendees & if there is enough interest, I can pre-reserve them. I am not affiliated, I receive no kick-backs/commissions, I just think I want this for myself, LOL.

So it's not on demand? I can't say for certain it'll be needed enough to pre reserve.

That's why we invited pete.... Sorry to let you know the truth Pete.... Lol.

That kid who turned 21 during the meeting a few years back could have used this.

I'm pretty sure I will keep this thread hidden from my wife.

She would be questioning my decisions already.

 

[Kung Fu Steve]

To give some of the newbies a little insight into all of these shenanigans there's a couple things you need to realize:

1.) Most of the people in your/our lives don't understand being an entrepreneur. Your family, your "friends", your co-workers, your teachers, your extended family, the guy down the street, the clerk at the store -- NONE of them understand who you are or what you're trying to do.

2.) When you get into a room full of people who actually understand this -- not just intellectually, but emotionally, mentally, physically -- all of it -- you form very tight bonds and friendships.

3.) Most of us live around the world and travel constantly -- this is the one time of year we can all get together and see each other. This is family for us so you'd better believe we are all overly giddy to see each other. Yes, we party hard and we have a hell of a lot of fun; yes we want you to do the same as your initiation into the family -- but you better believe the next morning we are all ready to take notes and grow our business -- because that's where our passion lies.

I've said it before in my talks (and I'm not the only one) -- the fastlane family is one of the most important things to me in my life -- and when you get into the "inner circle" you'd better believe that you'll become one of the most important people to me and everyone else at this meetup.

There's a lot of new people coming so yes, we'll be a little skeptical at times and maybe even stand-offish. Don't take offense to this. Look at Vigilante's notes above and you'll be just fine.

Bonus points if you bring advil and gatorade in the mornings.

 

[Tony I]

Figure I'd repost my intro. It's pretty crazy how much your mindset/life can change.

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/1st-fastlane-member-from-rhode-island.46296/

In the 3 years since the intro, I went from a struggling 19 year old college student to business owner. This forum has definitely played a huge part in my progress.

Looking forward to meeting all of you soon!

A note for new attenders : reflections from my first Beer and Pancakes meeting.

1. Arrive early and stay late. (for the weekend, for meetups, for all of it)
2. Attend ALL meetings, and all social functions possible.
(both of those will fall under "do as I say and not as I do" as I am an old man and relatively antisocial. But, you will gain the most by a fully immersive experience. You will learn a ton from ALL the presentations, even the ones you don't think you are interested in. And if someone crashes and burns during their presentation, you can even learn from that. You will be surprised that a lot of your favorite takeaways and possible life changing moments may come from a conversation over lunch, or a discussion at the golf simulator event. Don't skip them.)

3. Mingle. Not like a dating mingle (although there will be people there who think that's what I am talking about) but intentionally seek out new people, and engage them. Some of the discussions amongst the old timers is the fact that they are there to meet YOU, not necessarily hang out with the old school. So engage. One of my favorite memories from my first B&P is when I had breakfast with @jon.a and his (far) better half.

4. Don't be star struck. Aside from @Arrabista, @Likwid24 and @MJ DeMarco, there aren't any rockstars in attendance. We're all just people who put their pants on one leg at a time (except @GlobalWealth and you really don't want to see that).

5. Don't judge. At the first meet-up, I spent a half hour on a soap box telling a newbie all about how he should be running his business. He took it all in, and I was happy to oblige with my superior intellect. Only found out a few days later that he could buy and sell me. His business was (and is) awesome. He was there to learn, and apparently I thought I was there to teach. I vow for this weekend to listen way more than I talk, and try and absorb as much of what is happening around me. I made a fatal and legendary mistake by talking when I should have been listening. It's not that I shouldn't have engaged, but I forgot that everyone has something to contribute. See if you can find it in each conversation you have.

I envy the first time attenders, as your eyes are about to be opened to the company you chose to keep. I look forward to meeting as many of you as I can (although I have some other business I will be attending to that will tear me away at times) but this is an all in, all immersive experience and I hope you can do each of the above 5 points, and you will walk away with a new perspective on your business and hopefully your life. Go get it.

@Vigilante,

Thanks for un-tagging me in your meet up rundown. It felt weird being called a "star" given my upstart status around here.

The thought was much appreciated, though.

Hey all.

1st time attendee.

Just posted my intro

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/summit-attendee-re-intro.66263/

I'll be around Thursday afternoon if anyone is there. Straight to the Poker Room!

But you do have rockstar and celeb status.

Straight to the Poker Room!

TSR's "poker room" is more of a hall. Dozens of tables, probably the best place to play in AZ.
