Im a conspiracy nut so Ill get this out of the way. I may be wrong and Im just stating my opinion. So far the conference has been canceled twice this only drums up more interest for next year's conference. That means more sales at higher prices. *Takes off tin foil hat*
If Im wrong here are my two cents. The old mediums of sharing information are dying. Information has been condensed to a few channels so general information hubs like this forum just don't have the same appeal anymore. Also the presentation of information is now made to appeal to the masses. It translates to simpler and short stories and Minimalist websites that are clutter free on a smartphones screen. People's attention span can't handle the long posts of a forum and all the clutter. Change is a scary thing specially when money is involved because that's the energy we need to survive. And this is one of MJs money trees.
It's hard to hand over the keys to other mediums that are more popular than your own home on the internet. But sometimes you just have to play with your competitors. It's just business. That means investing money on your YouTube, Instagram and Facebook channels. This will always be your home and those that appreciate the fastlane forum will be here actively participating. I know I do.
It's also about centralization/decentralization. As of now the fastlane community is centralized around MJ. It must be great to have centralized power because you control every aspect of the community.
But you can keep it centralized and still have a decentralized layer under it. This decentralized layer is what gives more power to the centralized one.
There's a need right now for in person interaction. Through our phones we engage with other humans only through one sense the majority of times and those are the eyes. But humans have the need to engage all of our senses. That's why cults, religions, and political parties are such strong power points in the world. It brings people together.
As we speak I'm been suckered in into a MLM company because Amway has gotten smart. It's no longer about selling peoducts anymore is about forming a community and helping individuals grow. They do their best to market themselves as a community for like minded individuals and not a company that sells drinks. They are changing with the times and that's a smart move. *I'm not promoting Amway nor am I a member of the company*
So why not decentralized the fastlane Meetup and form smaller weekly/monthly meet ups in cities around the country? Weekly/monthly in person official meetups that later on add up to one grand summit meetup a year? This will allow you to know how many people will attend the submit meet up ahead of time and a long list of nominated speakers from each region.
