Getting the MOST out of Fastlane (Required Read)

[Argue]

I'm still newish, and I have been wondering how the various flare in some folks' profile is activated. Fastlane INSIDERS I believe is from subscribing to the premium portions of this website. Not sure about the others. For example I've read Fastlane but I don't know how that gets activated. I'm not sure what Speedway Pass or Summit Attendee means. I looked over the website for this information but couldn't find it. So my thought was maybe a quick post about all that here in this thread?

As one of the few females on the forum, I have greatly appreciated the rule below. We haven't had too much of a problem because the mods have done a great job with their monitoring, which has helped me stick around!

Excellent! I can't see anything else to add. It's great having the rules, threads, and "what this forum is all about " in one place.

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.

 

[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.

#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.​

@MJ DeMarco, I just wanted to thank you for this part. Lots of type A personalities, men and women alike, don't realize the impact of this type of behaviour

Just began reading the Millionaire Fastlane and discovered the existence of this forum. Am excited about this journey, discarding long held beliefs that haven't served me, and learning all I can to improve my life.

I appreciate the rules as laid out in this required thread, especially the restriction on political/religious postings. In another forum I saw those type of discussions really derail the whole purpose of the forum.

Thanks MJ for creating and maintaining this forum!

 

[PabloBlanco]

Can I be the first to congratulate @MJ DeMarco on his excellent guitar playing on the audiobook version of TMFL

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: NO GURU BS PLEASE!

Are you here because you're interested in using the forum to build your list, hot prospect, and enlargen your sales funnel? Word of caution: THIS BEHAVIOR does not work here and you will be CALLED-OUT on it, or worse, exposed as a charlatan. If your participation at the forum is conditional upon you selling, backlinking, or hot-prospecting the forum users, it WILL NOT END well.​

#5: 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.

View attachment 14808
While the forum search function is adequate, usually the GOOGLE search box does a better job.

Also please be aware: Content created at the forum cannot be deleted unless there are legal or privacy concerns. The reason for this policy is to ensure that our user's time is not wasted or stolen. For more information on this, please visit here. Threads can be edited for up to 10 days, while INSIDERS can unlimitedly edit threads.​

#6: 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:

#7: 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. Peacock as a guru.
6. 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.
7. 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.

#8: FOLLOW YOUR FAVORITE USERS

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.

Hi All been a member but after reading Unscripted I'm back. Enjoyed the book

 

[Wolfman]

so your idea is creating a bootcamp for newbie : "read this, do that"

in order to be sure that they are in the right place because your fastlane philosophy is unique among the business world ( at least your are the first guy showing people this concept )

new users should do special actions for a fews days , "read that topic. follow this guy "

then they graduate : " new user approved "

Hi MJ, I'm in the process of reading "Unscripted " and I'm really enjoying it. I like your sense of humor and although I don't agree w/ you on everything, I'm learning a lot and having fun. Maybe I'll even learn to like your funky formulas and initials. ex. FTE (This one I really like b/c I've actually experienced one.) So thanks for starting this site. Maybe you should have an "old farts" section for people like me who are having difficulty navigating. (Not that difficulty is bad.) Greg

I have read the thread and I'm in agreement with what is stated. Thank you for accepting me into your community!

 

[The Graceland]

Thank you for letting me into your not so secret garden. The fastlane book had me realize my dad was wrong, but so was I. Now to put this good information to use.

 

[tammymorton313]

Ready to go Fast in the Fastlane.

 

[DavidIonesi]

I've just finished reading the post and I want to say that this is exactly what I was looking for. This Forum is serious. Maybe here I get to be serious too and be opened and transparent about myself. People around me are getting me dumber and dumber every day. GARBAGE! Conversations, reactive people, childish! I wish my stay here will be a long lasting one with new friendships.

 

[Sara Eden]

I appreciate the no-spam rules. I was hesitant to join the forum, but knowing that I wont be spammed make this platform feel much more inviting and useful!
