Free registration at the forum removes this block.As I read your posts at the beginning of my time in the forum, I thought many times,
Why isn't he a millionaire yet?
He is helping many people for free with valuable information that others sell it for $2999 courses. Why isn't he doing that? Is it because he already made millions and doesn't care?
Why doesn't he speak about his exit event?
Later, I came across one of your threads in which you posted a video of you and your little boys playing ball at noon during a weekday.
You wrote something along the lines of 'Not many parents could do this today as they are working in their offices. But I am happy to spend my time with the kids'.
Reading that and later about your lambo, I realized you don't care about becoming a millionaire.
You love to spend time with your kids at any moment you wish and you love to help more number of people.
It's then I realized, fastlane is different for each person.
Why are you attacking me for asking a simple question to clear my doubt?
The point of my statement was: does someone have to be a millionaire to provide value?I’m not a millionaire. I’d better remove all my Google Ads threads.
So I consider pretty much 99% of the people here as "Fastlane".
It is like showing up in a full stadium and asking someone “does anyone come here - I heard only four people...?”
First of all, if you want an answer to the question then define fastlane. It is obvious that different people have different definitions. Several of the definitions put forward in this thread stray from my interpretation of what MJ defines as fastlane.
I would guess that very few members of this forum have a business which adheres to a strict definition of 'fastlane'. I would describe my business as a lifestyle business, not a fastlane business.
However I have taken some elements of fastlane and used them to mold my business into what I want it to be. Fastlane is a sort of a toolbox. I use some of the tools, not all. Does that make me a 'fastlaner'? It depends upon your definition.
That's me too, except for the passive part.Fastlane means different things for different people..... I may not be a millionaire and I drive a 10 year old SUV but I wake up every day at any time I want, go to movies, a bit of work, play with puppy in a half million dollar home paid for with passive business systems.
I haven't followed the "traditional/popular" Fastlane approach
But I haven't had a "real" job in 30 years. My commute is "roll out of bed (when I feel like it) and go downstairs." I have tons of freedom and free time, and I still make a low-6-figure income. I'm working on several things to increase that income level but I'm comfortable where I am.
So I don't have a $10M ecommerce biz or anything like that, and most of my income is tied to my time. But I think I qualify as Fastlane.

I haven't followed the "traditional/popular" Fastlane approach, which is the main reason I don't hang out here a lot any more. I just don't have the focus and productivity to create my own product, marketing, business, etc. and I felt like a bit of a fraud here.
But I haven't had a "real" job in 30 years. I work about half-time on my actual income-producing activities (consulting, training, rentals) and spend some time on other more hobby-ish activities that might turn a significant profit some day. I work out of my custom lakefront home with a view of the water from my office. My commute is "roll out of bed (when I feel like it) and go downstairs."

Unscripted is more focused on the freedom aspect, FASTLANE is about the business with the potential for big money. If someone is more concerned with freedom vs big business/money, Unscripted is the much better book. IMO, it is the better book period, but hey, maybe I'm biased --today-me is much different than ten-year-old me.
I’m similar. My revenue is the same as twenty years ago, but on a fraction of the time, and without a commute. I’m also slowly building a team and other income streams that aren’t tied to my time. I don’t feel like a fraud here, I feel right at home.That's me too, except for the passive part.

Having to ask that question, for me, shows a lack of time spent reading through the literal goldmines of threads on here.
their threads about the actual process or taking action
Does it matter what our net worth is -- or is not? And why would we tell the world what our assets are? When I was young, there was no internet and no possibility of having a fastland business. That buisness model didn't exist. For a woman, there also wasn't a possiblity of buying house, having a credit card or a credit file -- until the Fair Credit Act of 1974. I am just happy to be here, be a businesswoman, and be on the same page with other business-minded people.Thanks. I was joking of course.
I find the best attitude is to assume there’s something to learn from everyone, and it’s our job to find out what it is.
It’s interesting that two people from the screenshot left under dubious circumstances. Meanwhile we have soooo many amazing people in this forum with great values and great value to add.
I thought it's better to ask than assume.
If it's wrong then move this thread to #landfill.
I came across someone talking about this forum in another forum:
