Hi MJ:

Since this is a section about building a business, I was wondering if you could take us step-by-step through through the process you took to build the great fastlanetomillions.com forum?

The forum is fairly new yet it has good traffic, a great layout, high-profile members such as Diane Kennedy and other rich people, more than a thousand members, and really a wonderful spirit going on :cheers:....Yet the forum did not exist before July 2007. MJ you've built a successful community in such a short period of time...:eusa_clap:

Since this forum is no trade-secret can you tell us how did you do it? i.e. How did you think about the concept and why? (I think I know the answer to that--RD forums and mlms :chatter:) What steps did you take? Who did you contact when marketing your site? etc....

Thanks in advance.
