Great concept coming up with this kind of post to help new users navigate your way around the forum.
Just one question. Do this site have a mobile app?

Tapatalk is what most forum members use on mobile.

Best bet is to switch the style to the "Smaller Screen" style -- we also have Tapatalk as an option but we are looking to dump it.

Welcome to the Fastlane Forum! As a new forum user, we'd like to acquaint you to the forum, its rules, and how to maximize your membership. REVIEWING THIS THREAD IS MANDATORY.

#1: READ THE BOOK(S)

First and most important, this forum and its philosophies are predicated on the two best-selling entrepreneur books, The Millionaire Fastlane and UNSCRIPTED. For a macro-level view, view our ABOUT page.

To download FREE chapters to see if these books can help your journey (and navigating this forum) visit here:

The Millionaire Fastlane (3 free chapters)
UNSCRIPTED (5 free chapters)​

While reading these books is NOT a requirement for forum participation, reading them will help you get the most out of your Fastlane experience. Think of it like visiting a foreign country -- if you know the host language, you'll get a better experience. And even better, if you're an aspiring entrepreneur, both books were written to change your life.

If you have read the books and would like your badge (forum flair, LOL) please post in the appropriate thread:

I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane.
I've Read UNSCRIPTED.​

#2: START YOUR JOURNEY AT THE GOLD and NOTABLE Threads

A common question first asked at the forum is "Where do I start??"

Well, after you read the books, read the BEST THREADS of the forum, the GOLD and NOTABLE threads. Pick out the ones that align with your focus, or read them all.

NOTABLE THREADS
GOLD THREADS
​

#3: INTRODUCE YOURSELF

This is a close knit community free from the SCRIPTED gulag of cultural mediocrity. Please tell us your story. The more the better. A simple "Hello great to be here" (while nice) is generally ignored by the community. We want to hear where you've been, and where you're going.

INTRODUCTIONS FORUM. (Then click, "New Thread.")​

#4: BEFORE CREATING A NEW THREAD...

Do a forum search function to make sure your topic hasn't already been discussed. More than likely, it already has. Here are some common questions that have been answered a GAZILLION times.

While the forum search function is adequate, usually the GOOGLE search box does a better job.

#5: FILTER THE BEST CONTENT BY LIKES

Some of our best threads are dozens of pages AND HUNDREDS of posts long. Unfortunately, the best material sometimes gets lost among the noise. The best way to percolate the best content to the top of any thread is to SORT BY LIKES. See picture:

#6: DON'T GET BANNED

If you're here to promote something, place a marketplace ad. Otherwise, you will be banned. Here are some behaviors that will result in your Fastlane experience being short-lived.

1. Solicit for investors or partners.
2. Post backlink spam in your profile without any introduction.
3. Post a meetup for some nondescript meeting and some nondescript hotel with a nondescript purpose. (MLM ALERT!)
4. Be a deceptive advocate -- take part in a discussion about a company/product/service as if you are an innocent bystander when in fact, you are employed or financially invested in the product/service.
5. Be a troll -- this is a business forum that promotes PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and a GROWTH MINDSET. If you are a part of the SCRIPTED mediocrity and victim mob, you aren't going to last here. In other words, this is our "safe space" from the idiocy of safe spaces.
6. Discuss religion or post political threads. While we graze political discussions occasionally, it's usually because they advocate SCRIPTED victimology, virtuous mediocrity, and anti-business themes.

​

#7: FOLLOW YOUR FAVORITE USERS

If any forum user peaks your interest, follow them by clicking their USERNAME and then clicking FOLLOW. Their posts will show in your newsfeed.

#8: KEEP THE LOCKERROOM "PUA" LANGUAGE AT HOME

I'm sorry, but none of us want to hear how you are a master at "slaying chicks", "getting laid" and "pulling tail". Women entrepreneurs have some of the best insights. If we are to benefit from their opinions, refrain from posting immature locker room, beer-buddy guy talk— keep this stuff to your own private networks. Look at this forum as a CEO boardroom composed of half women, half men. Don't be a douche as none of us want to hear your gender worldviews.​

Great info. If only I had this some years ago...

Allso great!

I very much appreciate how straight-forward everything is. This is obviously a forum dedicated to exactly what we are all here for. Really looking forward to diving in and creating some much-needed forward momentum.

If this is true I hope a better replacement is in place for iPhone users because I love Tapatalk!

awesome!

 

[PatrickWho]

Read it. Loved it. Both books have put to words what I've believed for a long time. More than that, they outline the tools needed to do something about it. Cheers.

The speedway forum is only viewable if you have the speedway badge.

You won't see that section until you have the speedway badge.

Hello guys,
It's my first post on this amazing forum (I will create an introduction post later today). Just to let you know that I've read and accepted the guidelines.
I'm glad to know that political and religious topics are frowned upon - that's usually how otherwise constructive discussions on other forums and comments section turn into trash and trollish flamewars.
Cheers!
