Welcome to the Fastlane Forum! As a new forum user (or a regular contributor) Id 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 three best-selling entrepreneur books, The Millionaire Fastlane, UNSCRIPTED, and The Great Rat Race Escape. 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 the link below. If you have not read any of the books, we suggest starting with The Millionaire Fastlane.
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 the books 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, and three books were written to change your life.
If you have read the books and would like your "I've read!" badge plus additional forum privileges, please post in the appropriate thread.
#2: START YOUR JOURNEY AT THE GOLD, NOTABLE Threads (Click High-Value Topics)
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.
#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.
#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. Common questions like "do I go to college?" have been answered a GAZILLION times.
#5: SELF-PROMOTION, SEO, AND BACKLINKING IS PROHIBITED (Except in the Designated Thread)
If you are here at the forum solely to promote something, your experience likely won't end well. Any promotional, SEO, or backlinking activity that occurs in the main forum will result in a FAST DELETE and BAN. Please save your time.
If you have something to promote, please pay for a MARKETPLACE Ad which gives you the privilege to create your own forum thread, complete with a week long exposure at the top of the forum's home page.
Alternatively, you can post your self-promotional content at anytime in the SELF-PROMOTION thread which is a continuous thread of self-promotional activities.
#6: JOIN THE UNSCRIPTEDTEXT NETWORK
Join the FREE text network curated personally by MJ DeMarco. Keep apprised on any emerging GOLD and NOTABLE threads, motivational blurbs to keep your Unscripted journey on track, legendary forum posts extracted from the forum, otherwise buried in some monster thread, and other actionable advice from MJ (and other forum members) exclusively cherry-picked from the forum.
#7: AFFILIATE MARKETING PROMOTION IS PROHIBITED = BANNED
As an addendum to the above, posting affiliate marketing links is PROHIBITED. The forum doesn't want to hear about how you stumbled on a great training program, a meditation secret for manifesting wealth, or how to grow your IG account by 100 followers a day. READ THE BOOKS ABOVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS STUFF IS NOT ALLOWED HERE. Quit acting like a guppy in shark's playground.
#8: NO GURU BS PLEASE!
Are you here because you're interested in using the forum to build your list, hot prospect, and enlarge 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, again, it likely won't end well.
#9: SEARCHING FOR CONTENT BEFORE POSTING
You can expose content by clicking tags, forum categories, or prefixes. The native forum search function is marginal at best (thanks Xenforo) and usually the Google search box does a better job. Also note, 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. This can be done at the top of the thread view.
#10: GENERAL RULES TO FOLLOW
If you're here to promote something, place a MARKETPLACE AD or post in the designated self-promotion thread. Otherwise, you will be banned. Here are some behaviors that will result in your Fastlane experience being short-lived.
Solicit for investors or partners.
Post backlink spam in your profile without any introduction.
Post a meetup for some nondescript meeting and some nondescript hotel with a nondescript purpose. (MLM ALERT!)
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.
Peacock as a guru.
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.
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.
#11: KEEP THE LOCKER-ROOM "PUA" LANGUAGE AT HOME
Sinto muito, mas nenhum de nós quer ouvir como você é um mestre em "matar garotas", "transar" e "puxar a cauda". As mulheres empreendedoras têm alguns dos melhores insights. Se quisermos nos beneficiar das opiniões deles, evite postar conversas imaturas sobre vestiários, amigos de cerveja no fórum público - guarde essas coisas em suas redes privadas ou poste em MEN 39;S FÓRUM. Veja este fórum como uma sala de reuniões de CEOs composta por metade mulheres e metade homens. Não seja idiota, pois nenhum de nós quer ouvir sobre sua visão mundial de gênero.
Nº 12: APROVEITE OS TÓPICOS DE CHAT PARA COISAS QUE NÃO EXIGEM SEU PRÓPRIO TÓPICO
Além de tópicos de negócios específicos, o fórum também possui vários "tópicos de bate-papo" que funcionam como uma discussão contínua e são contínuas. Sinta-se à vontade para contribuir com isso a qualquer momento.
Nº 13 JUNTE-SE A INSIDERS E APOIE O FÓRUM
Se você quiser visualizar o fórum sem qualquer publicidade (exceto patrocinadores do fórum) e quiser que suas contribuições não possam ser indexadas de forma privada pelos mecanismos de pesquisa, junte-se ao Fastlane INSIDERS por apenas US$ 7,99/mês.
Nº 14: NÃO POSTE CONTEÚDO GERADO POR IA ou respostas CHATGPT.
Se a sua primeira contribuição para o fórum for uma resposta CHATGPT gerada por IA, você será imediatamente banido.
Effective immediately, any new user who is using AI or ChatGPT to respond to posts is immediately banned. The forum already has an AI bot who can respond to some posts and it is clearly noted as such. @Eva (AI-Bot) I don't have an issue with AI, I have an issue with humans being deceptive and...
www.thefastlaneforum.com
Nº 15: NENHUM DESCARREGAMENTO/SOLICITAÇÃO DE USUÁRIOS PARA OUTROS GRUPOS COMERCIALIZADOS ou EVENTOS DE REDE
Você não pode usar o fórum para convidar usuários para outros grupos fora do fórum, como seu próprio fórum, grupo do Telegram ou grupo do Facebook. Pequenos grupos Mastermind ou Accountability são exceções.
Nº 16: NÃO SE ESPREITE
Muitos Fastlaners construíram relacionamentos fortes no fórum que floresceram em grandes coisas. Desde melhores amigos, passando por mentores, até parcerias milionárias. Tudo isso começa com você CONTRIBUINDO e se tornando parte da comunidade, e não se escondendo nas sombras. Você tem algo para contribuir, mesmo que ainda não tenha um negócio, um milhão de dólares ou um histórico de sucesso. NÃO DEIXE O MEDO PARAR VOCÊ.
Não visito o Instagram, o Twitter ou o Facebook com frequência, mas estou aqui TODOS OS DIAS para ajudá-lo a alcançar o que você sabe que pode alcançar. Dito isso, desejo o melhor a vocês e espero ver muitos de vocês aqui no fórum.
Nº 17: Imploração na Internet = Banimento instantâneo
Se sua primeira postagem aqui for implorar ou implorar por dinheiro enquanto chora por sua situação pessoal, você será removido.

#11: KEEP THE LOCKER-ROOM "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 in the public forum— keep this stuff to your own private networks or post in the private MEN'S FORUM. 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 about your gender world views.
#12: LEVERAGE CHAT THREADS FOR THINGS THAT DON'T REQUIRE THEIR OWN THREAD
Belirli iş konularının yanı sıra, forumda devam eden bir tartışma gibi hareket eden ve sürekli olan çok sayıda "sohbet konusu" da bulunmaktadır. Bunlara her zaman katkıda bulunmaktan çekinmeyin.
#13 İÇERİKLERE KATILIN VE FORUMU DESTEKLEYİN
Forumda herhangi bir reklam olmadan (forum sponsorları hariç) görüntülemek istiyorsanız ve katkılarınızın arama motorları tarafından özel olarak kullanılamamasını istiyorsanız, lütfen $ 7.99 / ay gibi kısa bir süre için Fastlane INSIDERS'a katılın.
#14: AI-JANSLI İÇERİK veya CHATGPT yanıtlarını POST ETMEYİN.
Foruma ilk katkınız AI tarafından oluşturulan CHATGPT yanıtı ise, derhal yasaklanacaksınız.
#15: DİĞER TİCARİ GRUPLARA veya NETWORKING OLAYLARINA YETİŞTİRME / SOLİSİTASYON KULLANICI YOK
Forumu, kullanıcıları kendi forumunuz, Telegram grubunuz veya Facebook grubunuz gibi diğer forum dışı gruplara ayırmak için kullanamazsınız. Küçük Beyni veya Hesap Verebilirlik grupları istisnalardır.
#16: SÜRMEYİN
Birçok Fastlaner forumda harika şeylere dönüşen güçlü ilişkiler kurdu. En iyi arkadaşlardan mentorlara, milyoner ortaklıklarına. Tüm bunlar sizinle başlar KATKI ve gölgede gizlenmeden topluluğun bir parçası olmak. Henüz bir işiniz, bir milyon dolarınız veya başarılı bir geçmişiniz olmasa bile katkıda bulunacak bir şeyiniz var. KORKU SİZİ DURDURMAYIN.
Instagram, Twitter veya Facebook'u sık sık ziyaret etmiyorum, ancak başarabileceğinizi bildiğiniz şeylere ulaşmanıza yardımcı olmak için HER TEK GÜN buradayım. Bununla birlikte, size en iyisini diliyorum ve forumda birçoğunuzu görmeyi umuyorum.
#17: İnternet Dilenci = Anında Yasak
Buradaki ilk gönderiniz kişisel durumunuz hakkında ağlarken para için yalvarmak veya yalvarmaksa, kaldırılacaksınız.

This all starts with you CONTRIBUTING and becoming part of the community, not lurking in the shadows. You have something to contribute, even if you don't quite yet have a business, a million bucks, or a successful track record. DO NOT LET FEAR STOP YOU.
I do not visit Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook often, but I am here EVERY SINGLE DAY to help you achieve what you know you can achieve. With that said, I wish you the best and I hope to see a lot of you here at the forum.

I do not visit Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook often, but I am here EVERY SINGLE DAY to help you achieve what you know you can achieve. With that said, I wish you the best and I hope to see a lot of you here at the forum.
#17: Internet Begging = Instant Ban
If your first post here is to beg or plead for money while crying about your personal situation, you will be removed.
Since the new users continually fail at reading this entire message (it is required reading before posting), I've edited it to say what's most relevant first and foremost.
Hello Chaps,
hope you are all well.
Just a quick introduction, i'm English, in my 50's and looking forward to spending time with you all.
I have had many small businesses that have never taken off so i am on my constant search for information to help me become successful.
Best wishes
First: Since most of you won't read this required message, know this: IF YOUR FIRST POST AT THE FORUM IS PROMOTIONAL, AI CONTENT, SEO BS, BACKLINKING, or SOME MARKETING BS CLOAKED AS "I need feedback" when you don't want feedback—YOU WILL BE BANNED IMMEDIATELY—NO QUESTIONS ASKED and NO SECOND CHANCES.

Now for those of you who are here for COMMUNITY FIRST and perhaps some promotion later, continue reading.
Here's how things work...
Welcome to the Fastlane Forum! As a new forum user (or a regular contributor) Id 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 three best-selling entrepreneur books, The Millionaire Fastlane, UNSCRIPTED, and The Great Rat Race Escape. 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 the link below. If you have not read any of the books, we suggest starting with The Millionaire Fastlane.
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 the books 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, and three books were written to change your life.
If you have read the books and would like your "I've read!" badge plus additional forum privileges, please post in the appropriate thread.
#2: START YOUR JOURNEY AT THE GOLD, NOTABLE Threads (Click High-Value Topics)
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.
#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.
#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. Common questions like "do I go to college?" have been answered a GAZILLION times.
#5: SELF-PROMOTION, SEO, AND BACKLINKING IS PROHIBITED (Except in the Designated Thread)
If you are here at the forum solely to promote something, your experience likely won't end well. Any promotional, SEO, or backlinking activity that occurs in the main forum will result in a FAST DELETE and BAN. Please save your time.
If you have something to promote, please pay for a MARKETPLACE Ad which gives you the privilege to create your own forum thread, complete with a week long exposure at the top of the forum's home page.
Alternatively, you can post your self-promotional content at anytime in the SELF-PROMOTION thread which is a continuous thread of self-promotional activities.
#6: JOIN THE UNSCRIPTEDTEXT NETWORK
Join the FREE text network curated personally by MJ DeMarco. Keep apprised on any emerging GOLD and NOTABLE threads, motivational blurbs to keep your Unscripted journey on track, legendary forum posts extracted from the forum, otherwise buried in some monster thread, and other actionable advice from MJ (and other forum members) exclusively cherry-picked from the forum.
#7: AFFILIATE MARKETING PROMOTION IS PROHIBITED = BANNED
As an addendum to the above, posting affiliate marketing links is PROHIBITED. The forum doesn't want to hear about how you stumbled on a great training program, a meditation secret for manifesting wealth, or how to grow your IG account by 100 followers a day. READ THE BOOKS ABOVE TO UNDERSTAND WHY THIS STUFF IS NOT ALLOWED HERE. Quit acting like a guppy in shark's playground.
#8: NO GURU BS PLEASE!
Are you here because you're interested in using the forum to build your list, hot prospect, and enlarge 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, again, it likely won't end well.
#9: SEARCHING FOR CONTENT BEFORE POSTING
You can expose content by clicking tags, forum categories, or prefixes. The native forum search function is marginal at best (thanks Xenforo) and usually the Google search box does a better job. Also note, 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. This can be done at the top of the thread view.
#10: GENERAL RULES TO FOLLOW
If you're here to promote something, place a MARKETPLACE AD or post in the designated self-promotion thread. Otherwise, you will be banned. Here are some behaviors that will result in your Fastlane experience being short-lived.
Solicit for investors or partners.
Post backlink spam in your profile without any introduction.
Post a meetup for some nondescript meeting and some nondescript hotel with a nondescript purpose. (MLM ALERT!)
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.
Peacock as a guru.
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.
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.
#11: KEEP THE LOCKER-ROOM "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 in the public forum— keep this stuff to your own private networks or post in the private MEN'S FORUM. 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 about your gender world views.
#12: LEVERAGE CHAT THREADS FOR THINGS THAT DON'T REQUIRE THEIR OWN THREAD
Aside from specific business topics, the forum also has numerous "chat threads" that act like an ongoing discussion and are continuous. Feel free to contribute to these at anytime.
#13 JOIN INSIDERS AND SUPPORT THE FORUM
If you'd like to view the forum without any advertising (except forum sponsors) and would like your contributions privately unindexable by search engines, please join Fastlane INSIDERS for as little as $7.99/mo.
#14: DO NOT POST AI-GENERATED CONTENT or CHATGPT answers.
If your first contribution to the forum is an AI-generated, CHATGPT response, you will be immediately banned.
Effective immediately, any new user who is using AI or ChatGPT to respond to posts is immediately banned. The forum already has an AI bot who can respond to some posts and it is clearly noted as such. @Eva (AI-Bot) I don't have an issue with AI, I have an issue with humans being deceptive and...
www.thefastlaneforum.com
#15: NO USER OFFLOADING/SOLICITATION INTO OTHER COMMERCIALIZED GROUPS or NETWORKING EVENTS
You cannot use the forum to solicit users into other off-forum groups, such as your own forum, Telegram group, or Facebook group. Small Mastermind or Accountability groups are the exceptions.
#16: DON'T LURK
Many Fastlaners have built strong relationships at the forum that have blossomed into great things. From best friends, to mentors, to millionaire partnerships. This all starts with you CONTRIBUTING and becoming part of the community, not lurking in the shadows. You have something to contribute, even if you don't quite yet have a business, a million bucks, or a successful track record. DO NOT LET FEAR STOP YOU.
I do not visit Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook often, but I am here EVERY SINGLE DAY to help you achieve what you know you can achieve. With that said, I wish you the best and I hope to see a lot of you here at the forum.

Read TMF 10ish years ago but never really had a true FTE until now, just minor grievances. Now I'm at the point where I honestly can't see myself W2ing again. Looking forward to the journey and getting to know the folks here.
