Idea for MJ Demarco and The Fastlane Forum

[ExaltedLife]

Hey MJ,

I want to see what you and other Fastlaners think about an idea for the Forum that I think could work well, seeing as there is a range of members, from hungry bootstrappers to the successful and affluent.

I've been going through a transformation recently, inspired by "Personality isn't Permanent", a book that I purchased after hearing a review from a forum member. One aspect of this is that I'm questioning old limitations I've held. For instance...I'm an idea machine, and I have really good ideas every day, and some of them I don't execute on because they require investment of capital that I just don't have - and yet, I've not once ever tried to secure outside investment.

I was thinking about this, and after I realized - wow, I can actually pursue that, and nothing has been holding me back but my own self limiting beliefs - I thought to myself, "Well, where should I start looking for potential investors?"

For obvious reasons, it wasn't long before I thought of the Fastlane Forum.

So here's my idea, do with it what you will:

Why not create a sort of 'Shark Tank', built from this forum? I don't know whether there might be legal issues, but it seems to me this is a prime space where such a thing could grow.

What do you think?
