I open my messages and I see "Brad" has started a conversation with me and it sounds something like this (I am rarely friendly with strangers like this, but its method was so clear. Let's call it amusement)
Add: this is the adult industry we are speaking about, to give it the right context.
Mercedes (Me) being a full functioning and established adult-worker.
--------------------------------------------
Brad: Hey Mercedes, you seem to be a huge influence and big name in your industry, I want to pass this amazing opportunity and idea by you, that is of great value! And I think it can hugely benefit you too!
Me: So what have you been reading? Rich Dad Poor Dad? 4-hour Workweek? Or Millionaire Fastlane ? I hope it's not the latter, because then you have TRULY misunderstood its message.
So, what is this AMAZING idea you speak off?
Brad: Oh yes! It was Millionaire Fastlane , how did you know? And I want to start a website that sells online content by successful women like yourself, the cut would be 60 for me, 40 for you.
Me: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. And how did you bypass Sesta/Fosta?
Brad: What is that? I'm sure I can bypass anything
At this moment I block Brad, because now it's becoming annoying.

Hi exciting newbie! I know you feel you are running out of time, and I know there is good in you and you can't wait to get started in life. This is a great mindset!
However, I as a business owner, do not:
1. care for what you"want to start". Show me your credentials and receipts and we can talk.
2. know why you think it be ok to make money of an industry that is established, and you don't have anything to ADD to, rather than exploiting the BUSINESS OWNERS within this industry.
3. appreciate you creating a bad name for the Millionaire Fastlane . The community (and book for that matter) are VERY clear on creating meaningful connections and adding value. Truly learning and understanding the product or industry you plan on invating.
4. like to deal with puppies who want to bark with the established people. This is not about discouraging anyone from following dreams and pursue steps. This is about clearly being delusional and ignorant, and it shows. It shows big time.
By showing that you are making a huge negative first impression.
I suggest to those who are in such a rush to read the book again, transforming that in some real life experience (rather than second hand knowledge which shows you have no clue about), and then get back at it.
P.s. when you actually verbalize the fact that you have "learned" this from Millionaire Fastlane , you actually give the whole movement and book a bad name. Don't be that guy
Thanks for coming to my TedTalk
