How to waste time and money playing entrepreneur

Anything related to matters of the mind

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.
For example, DeMarco LLC (an Arizona LLC) owns a 1% interest in Company X, a California LLC. Such an arrangement will have the CA Franchise Tax board coming after you for taxes. And it doesn't even matter if you ever visited the state. Imagine never stepping foot in that blasted state and having those tax vultures coming after you, and yes, they're relentless.

Oh the beauty of a bankrupt state.
