Hey Fastlaners,

I've been away from the forum a while now, while I was working on my website. And after months of work, it's ready to launch!
I know shamelessly self-advertising is frowned upon, but I'm not advertising to try and sell you anything - I know you're too smart for any of that shit, I'm not ever going to try.

Instead, I'm doing it because I could use some honest feedback and suggestions from the only entrepreneurship community I know and have grown to love.

I've built it from scratch, and learned everything I needed to know about WordPress as I went along, so there might be some issues I haven't discovered yet. Also, it's pretty bare at the moment, I really need to write more articles, and I'd be indebted to anybody who could suggest some article ideas!

About the website:

It is (or will be) a collection of the best entrepreneurial resources, books, communities, as well as helpful, informative articles and knowledge that I've found as very helpful. Both The Millionaire Fastlane and The Fastlane Forum have an honorary place on the list, as they should 😀.

So if you want to take a look, click here.

P.S. MJ, if you or another mod think this is not appropriate, I apologize, and I will take the link down. I plan on buying ad space here once I get more content up on it, but now it's in a sort of "beta" testing stage.

Thanks!
