Yes, sir! I need to update my progress thread but yes, there are a few new products that will be released during this month. I feel we need to change things up this year to facilitate growth. I'll update my progress thread soon.

What? Not RIGHT NOW? Whats with the stalling?

Stalling with the new products or updating the progress thread? Or you just passive aggressively digging at me because of your weight loss thread? Lol.

Another 5 lbs gone. Had some blood work done too - all good.

Don't want to spam everyone, but it's honestly amazing how simple (not easy) it is to lose weight. I know EXACTLY what's going to happen on the scale the day after I eat clean or like sh*t. It's not a mystery.

Also, this 5 lbs made me skip to a new hole in my belt, which is always nice. I've been fat for so long it's like a speed bump in the leather when I pass it.

How's everyone doing on their goals?

You might have to settle for a fist bump from MJ and two waters from the pitcher on your table, as neither of your demands is likely to be met but I hope you hit your objective (and the platform at the meetup) none the less.

I am late into this. But I will still post.

I committed Myself the below points in December 2017, before joining the forum or reading the book. I was in a world of stupidity. I was just wasting time, reading novels, playing games and my favourite action faking.

But Finally I committed and started taking action this June. Which lead me to this forum and many other good things in this world.

My commitments are:
Healthy body and muscles. (I am thin and weak guy)
Starting my business and earning atleast as much as I am earning from my job. ( this goaL upgraded in value after joining the forum)

Helping 50+ people in improving/solving their life/issues without anything in return.

These 3 are my top priority for this year.
I have taken action and working on all these points.

As of now:
Health is steadily improving. Gained 3kg in a month and half. I swear, the best thing you can gift yourself is a healthy body. Just because of this, I am having good life, focus, clear thinking, creative ideas, positive thoughts and Helping mind. Uncountable benefits just in two months of improving my health. I can't imagine life after a year of improving my health.

Started the business which was on hold since 3 yrs. Web design business. @Fox threads Helped me alot.

Helped 4 people in improving or solving their issues. It feels great. Really.


I will achieve the above.

Anyone know how to join next Sumit? I never travel outside India. (no passport yet. :D

I will be earning $5,000 per month in gross income through my side-business and other ventures by the 2019 Fastlane Summit. This will provide me with the option of leaving my full-time job if I choose to.

Guess this post was found for me...

Well, I'll be transitioning out of my full-time job into another full-time job starting at the beginning of November.

The big difference is that this new position will give me access to excellent mentorship and a much brighter future.

This was a good reminder of where my mindset needs to be by the 2019 Summit.

I havent lost that much.

Hadn't kept up with it recently honestly.. so much work stuff and personal stuff has hit hard the last 3-4 months and kept me off track.

Here were my goals

  • Get sub 200 lbs
    • Process - No processed food of any kind if possible AND smaller portions

Still at 235. Need to get under. Just joined the YMCA because of this thread.

  • Get more limber. I'm getting older and I can tell the muscles are not what they use to be
    • Process - Stretch for 15 min a day as part of morning ritual.

Not going to happen. Well, I guess it can. I will add to my todo list each day. Forgot all about it really

  • $500k side money in Crypto. Tall order I think, but why not me?
    • Process - Scalping at least 1x daily for small gains, reinvest the money
Was interesting to start, not going to hit it but I changed my strategy all around as a learned a few things. Still in the game but the goal post has been moved.

  • Finish lead magnets for SERPWoo
    • Process - Write 500 words daily
Did do

  • Write first non-fiction book and list on Amazon
    • Process - Write 1000 words daily
In the process of doing

  • Get my product on Amazon I tried to create last year
    • Process - Spend 30 minutes daily on this
Decided to suspend due to whats going on with Amazon. No longer fits me

1: Gold Thread.
2: Speak @ Summit 2019.

In pursuing these things, will create something worth talking about.

Was reminded of this thread.
#1: Done. @LightHouse I took your challenge to heart!
#2: Threw hat in the ring to speak. No summit? Good. More time to prep.

Everyone who attended the 2018 Summit, wanted to go, and is looking to go next year, I challenge you...

By the 2019 Summit, you will...

WHAT?

Challenge yourself to 1 numerical goal...

  • I will have my first sale.
  • I will have my first $10K/profit month.
  • I will have created my first profit with my first self-invented product.
  • I will have revenue of $X dollars.
  • I will have imported 10 different products to review.
  • I will have franchised my first location.
  • I will have invented ONE product from scratch
  • I will have lost 100 lbs...
  • I will have done X, Y, or Z...
  • I will have learned X, Y, or Z...
  • I will have 10 bonafide failures (occurrences baby!)
This exercise is FOR EVERYONE and ANYONE... not just those who attended the Summit.

What will you look back on and say, "Wow, things certainly changed!"

And will you be in a position to speak about the great year you just accomplished?

Don't let the momentum wane... I'm here pretty much everyday, sometimes for just a few minutes, but sometimes hours.

Put your GOAL in a numerical, measurable form!

So by next year in early February 2019, what will you be saying?

By February 2019, I will have quit my day job and have no fewer than (redacted: 100, too low) 500 closed sales (new clients, recurring revenue) and have generated enough value to pay for an extra year of fastlane pursuit without need for a job.

We're getting close to the end of the year, so I'm reflecting back on 2018.

My Goal Before the 2019 Fastlane Summit:
Monthly Revenue for January 2019 = 3X Monthly Revenue for January 2018

Most of my Amazon stuff didn't launch until 3rd Quarter, so 3X is more than reasonable... but the $$$ figure itself scares me! I need to get rid of my limiting beliefs about money.

1) Laser-focus on Amazon
- Add 10 SKUs that are $25+ to Brand #1
- Fix Amazon PPC and run Facebook Ads
- Start content creation and social media (hire staff member)
2) Minimize time spend on Etsy shops to 15 hours per week
- Continue to train and delegate to my VA
- Add one more Etsy shop (hire and/or replace current contractor)

I made my Etsy shop self-service, so it takes almost no time. I let my VA go, since I no longer needed her. I didn't add a single thing to Etsy, and netted $15,000+ for the year, passively.

I had two brands on Amazon, and killed one. I didn't add a single SKU over $25. No FB ads, no social media, no Google Ads, only Amazon PPC. But I was laser-focused on adding SKUs to Amazon. Amazon November YTY revenue was 10X.

So....I was just reminded of this thread from the new 2019 one: EXECUTION - What will you accomplish in 2019?

People have posted their proclamations for 2019, but not a lot of posted in here yet for what happened in 2018.

Goals for Feb 2019

1)Expand current business to 5 SKUS (Right now at 2). Hit 500k revenue
2)Have a profitable 2nd business running from Biophase ecommerce course
3)Meet one person from this forum face to face

1) I'm at 6 SKUs and over the revenue goal.
2) Profitable on my 2nd reorder. At 1 SKU. Not sure if this was a wise idea as there so much for me to do with business 1 already.
3) Didn't happen because I didn't put any effort into it. I was actually hoping for the summit to fulfill this one.

I hope everyone in here posts a follow up whether you hit your goals or not!

Came back to update this... and gladly say I crossed out numba 3! Met @Longinus when he came to nyc.
I hope everyone else comes back with updates, even though the 2019 summit did not happen.

4 goals with #1 being the most important.

1. Lose 104lbs - Saw a picture of myself at the summit and clearly points out I have neglected my health for other things.
2. Double SKU count for product business - without losing quality
3. Double Cashflow from rentals
4. Help someone with their goals

Getting an accountability group setup so I have to be accountable for my actions.

For your goal #1, I would suggest to start by reading two books, and let me know what you think after reading. Book #1 - The Complete Guide to Fasting by Dr. Jason Fung, and Book #2 - Primal Fat Burner by Nora Gedgaudas.
