Didn’t see a AMA on the topic of cold calling/Prospecting, feel free to remove if it’s there. While I haven’t built a Fastlane business - this forum & books have helped me step outside my comfort zone to generate my own income without a job, learn new skills, and so much more. Thought it was time I give back.

Ask me anything on how to get in front of people you want to talk to, and do business with. If I don’t know, I’ll be upfront about it. Not gonna give advice if I Haven’t tried it myself.
