Fastlane paradox?

A detailed account of a Fastlane process...

Welcome to the only entrepreneur forum dedicated to building life-changing wealth.

Build a Fastlane business. Earn real financial freedom. Live your best life.

Tired of paying for dead communities hosted by absent gurus who don't have time for you?

Imagine having a multi-millionaire mentor by your side EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. Since 2007, MJ DeMarco has been a cornerstone of Fastlane, actively contributing on over 99% of days—99.92% to be exact! With more than 39,000 game-changing posts, he's dedicated to helping entrepreneurs achieve their freedom. Join a thriving community of over 90,000 members and access a vast library of over 1,000,000 posts from entrepreneurs around the globe.

Forum membership removes this block.
The forum business model is very much like Match.com-- when a user has success from the site, the site usually loses the user as a customer. The forum attracts more people looking to start businesses, versus those who already have a business.

Honestly, I dont think that is really true. True entrepreneurs have something in their veins. They work full focus on their goal to be successful. Reading self help and business books or forum-talks aren't really in that same category because its too much a way around that. I dont mean to be disrespectful or imply that your book is useless, but if you are truly focussed on making your business a success you will be much more focussed on the knowledge, contacts and ways to get to your goal in a more direct line.
