I don't usually try to 'indoctrinate' Slowlaners, who think that joining MLMs, investing in mutual funds or buying stuff on the cheap will bring them financial haven, with the Fastlane. But sometimes one of the more staunch ones raises the pain points that set alarm bells ringing too much-basically going in front of my Fastlane lambo (virtual, not real! I'm not into fast cars!) thinking that they own the road.
So I had to hit that a$$ hard-with my Fastlane engines roaring and tyres screeching. There's no place for an a$$ where the fast and furious are.
Here was our conversation. These are not the actual words, but it went something like that:
Slowlaner: You have extra cash? (I had a bit, to prepare for a future Fastlane campaign) Put it in a mutual fund so that you can be wealthy.
Me: Mutual funds? Good luck with that. Why should I put my money into someone else's asset or buy their assets? Tsk, making them rich? Besides, it is too little to put in. Just a few thousand only. The rich put in MILLIONS for such financial instruments to be effective. I would rather create something which others buy from me.
Slowlaner: (getting defensive) Hey, i'm only giving you advice for your own good! I sold my own mutual funds to buy a house, and it would have grown even more had I not sold it. Besides my network company promises me success as my teacher (her senior) said that I would get it if I were desperate enough! I'm an entrepreneur!
Me: Entrepreneurs create assets that people buy, not buy assets to make others rich! You are no entrepreneur. You don't know how to create value!
There was an awkward silence....
You know what...just don't listen to any Slowlaner that threatens to disturb your brains. Just destroy their reality and beliefs with the harsh truth and walk away. And do it quickly, lest they stay around and irritate you.
But today was a good day! I found another complaint to add to my list of product enhancements for my fastlane! It was free!
