<div class="bbWrapper">Hey fellas,<br /> <br /> I&#039;d really like to put together (or find) some kind of online group where we can discus, push and maybe criticize each other. <br /> <br /> I literally have zero people around me that have their eyes open and want more out of life and I keep hearing how important it is to have positive people in your life.<br /> <br /> Anyone in? <br /> <br /> -Chris</div>

Just a note, I don&#039;t need everyone to conform to my values -- just some core concepts like freedom through entrepreneurship and providing legitimate value (over bro-marketing). We don&#039;t need to be dogmatic here about every single thing I write about (Including CENTS!) because it is impossible for everyone to agree with that many concepts.</div>

You may just not value it as others might.<br /> <br /> Additionally, the progress thread isn&#039;t intended to be created after you&#039;ve done something. It&#039;s actually quite helpful and inspiring when you look back on someone&#039;s when they are doing well to see how it all kinda started. You lose editing ability after 10 days or so intentionally so that future members can see the documented history. I would just make sure you&#039;re staying relevant and on topic. If your first action step is taking a course, or reading Unscripted, then that&#039;s where you&#039;re at. Document it and how you intend to put it to use. Then update when you do take the action and how it turned out - good, bad, or ugly.</div>

I have a wee forum for people who’ve bought my course. I want that as a support forum for people who’re using my specific strategies and tactics. I still think there could be a place in TFLF where I could chatter about lead gen more without feeling I’m spamming the main forum.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Something else I’ve noticed is that being in a Discord or Facebook group lends itself to a different style of conversation than the formal forum threads we typically have. I haven’t reconciled it in my head, but my gut tells me a platform that allows both chatrooms and forum threads might be very useful.<br /> <br /> <br /> Happy to chat/PM over this too <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/1/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="1" data-username="@MJ DeMarco">@MJ DeMarco</a>.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I have some experience managing discord groups.

Wanted to show that I really took that one to heart, before adding more to my checklist ;-)</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I’m gonna say it at the risk of sounding like a jerk. All I can do is preface by saying it’s not my intent, so I’m sorry if it comes off that way. <br /> <br /> Do we really think we need to add on yet another way to postpone action steps? It’s hard enough as it is.<br /> <br /> We’ve read books. Researched. Taken Courses. Read these forum topics. Posted our own threads. Commented on other threads. Joined mastermind groups. All of which is time not taking action. Not that some of these things aren’t necessary to learn and grow, but now we’re talking about a chat room where we can sit around and talk? Who has time for this?<br /> <br /> I’d argue the guys who have the time to do it are likely so driven they won’t want to. So then what? We have a bunch of current slowlaners sitting in a room talking about taking action and telling stories?<br /> <br /> I think the forum works perfect. Hop on, read a few things useful, post a question if you’ve got one, and try to equally give back when you can. And it lasts forever. <br /> <br /> If something is so critical that you need to talk to someone RIGHT NOW because it’s your big breakout moment and if you don’t talk to them you won’t make it. Well, you weren’t gonna make it. <br /> Google. Youtube. Udemy. TFF search function. <br /> <br /> I understood the OPs original reason for bringing it up, but I hope we put his concerns to rest.<br /> <br /> Just had to say it. <br /> <br /> <br /> Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I see your point pwilliams. I had the expertise and I thought I would suggest it to those who were interested. Like MJ says though, that functionality may be coming soon regardless.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I’m in TFLF, my own forum, a Discord group, some Facebook groups, and my own team mastermind in Basecamp (a great platform for a mastermind btw).<br /> <br /> I find them all useful for many and different reasons.<br /> <br /> Just last night I was Googling how to setup Thrivecart so people are added and removed from an ActiveCampaign newsletter. I couldn’t find an answer so posted to the Facebook group for Thrivecart. I wake up to two answers. Incredible.<br /> <br /> With the Discord group I can “chat” real-time with people in specific channels and get some incredible insights or get asked good questions. Just from me posting I can come away with clarity, and answers I can post to more permanent places such as a blog, LinkedIn, Instagram (a work in progress), etc.<br /> <br /> People who might be reading an exchange between, say, myself and <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/13831/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="13831" data-username="@SinisterLex">@SinisterLex</a> get to eavesdrop on a copywriting freelancer and a media buying freelancer who are both moving beyond freelancing. Or a Facebook ads specialist explaining to an AdWords specialist about the differences in the platforms.<br /> <br /> I liken chat to people discussing things round a table over a coffee. It’s real-time, and the conversations bounce off each other and take on a life of their own.<br /> <br /> I liken forum threads more like people taking turns to speak at a podium. It’s more polished, possibly more in depth, but misses some of the magic of real-time chat.<br /> <br /> Like anything, these are all tools. How people use them and the results they get are most important.<br /> <br /> People who suffer from procrastination or perfectionism (aka fear of shipping) may even get the wee boost they need to take action from them.<br /> <br /> I can see the danger, and I can also see the benefits for many who don’t interact daily with people of a similar mindset experiencing similar struggles.</div>
