And starting tomorrow (or a few days later), the thread will be FORCED on new users, otherwise they can't read or post.

Any suggestions on what I left out, feel free to let me know.
Hiya MJ, I just wanted to say "hi" from sunny Phoenix where I'm visiting. How are you? I want to thank you in person for helping me. Maybe we could go to the Suns game on Friday.
A cup of your favorite beverage would be good too.
So, I'm making slow progress and hitting some of the (perceived) road-blocks you predicted. Sometimes, MJ, you seem eirily omnicient. (That's an off-handed way of saying you have lots of wisdom.)
If you don't have time, still say "hi" here.
Greg
P.S. This is a great town.

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.

:bulb:#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:

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


:bulb:#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.

:check:NOTABLE THREADS
:check:GOLD THREADS
:bulb:#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.

:check:INTRODUCTIONS FORUM. (Then click, "New Thread.")

:bulb:#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.

:bulb:#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:

View attachment 14807
:bulb:#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.

:bulb:#7: FOLLOW YOUR FAVORITE USERS

:bulb:#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.​
really like this forum. :)

@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!

The book will blow you away, and like me you may find fifty plus years of wrong thinking just kicked out of the park. Enjoy the forum there is a lot of value in it, from 16 to 60 there is something we can learn, and something we can give.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this forum.

I have read the Millionaire Fastlane , and visited this forum every once in a while but I have not registered. Probably one of my favorite books, but I am always skeptical about signing up for anything and giving my email away for "future sales".

Recently MJ's post started popping up on my Facebook feed, and I loved them just like I love the book. Then I found out about the new book Unscripted . Read some reviews, and plan on reading that book as well.

Once again thank you!

The recent influx of drive-by guru's has compelled me to add another ITEM in the list...

:bulb:#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 forum participation is conditional upon you selling, backlinking, or hot-prospecting the forum users, it WILL NOT END well!
