Hi all. Some trusted friends (Eskil and Rob below) convinced me you could find a community of "red pillers" here - so I had to join. These are two smart guys I have the pleasure of knowing (they're in a skype mastermind group I started a few months ago).

https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/yo...understand-fastlane-business-mathematics.html
https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/fastlane/42269-success-story-thanks-lot-mj.html

If there's a community of folks like those guys here, I'm happy to make new friends.

Big Up to TMF
I have personally paypal'ed 2 people saying quote: "go read this book - here's $10 for coffee - on me - grab a quiet corner in a coffee shop and read it now!"

There are others who read it but basically didn't take action. This was demoralizing. At this point I'm emotionally disconnecting from trying to help people escape the system.

I live between the East Coast and the south of Spain - so I'm stoked to meet new int'l fastlaners. In fact, wherever you are, if you passionately believe that conscious capitalism can be used as a tool to make this world a better place and to enjoy a materially and spiritually wealthy life, you are my kind of person.

And if you have big goals and are a doer not a talker, I'm glad to meet you.

I plan to do a write up of a success story for MJ one day as some real life social proof that his book is powerful.

While I differ in opinion about some aspects of the book (ex: I think a cofounder or outside capital can be good if you know what you are doing)....I still would recommend the book.


I would also like to see this book read in public schools

I'd be willing to invest 30 minutes a week to making this happen - ping me if you are interested in changing the school system as well.

Business wise my core skills lie in sales funnel engineering: online lead generation, media buying (esp the email channel), direct response, product launches, business development (esp. online join ventures).
...Creating lifetime customer value which far exceeds CAC (customer acquisition costs)

Basically

Lastly, I'd like to drop a link that encapsulates my perspective on business:
Three (Incredibly Simple) Questions The Most Successful People Use To Change The World - Forbes

"Intelligence is learning from your own mistakes;
wisdom is learning from the mistakes of others.
It’s less painful to be wise than smart.
It’s also a lot cheaper.
That’s why this third question is so important."


If you are serious about building an 8 figure business you intend to exit in the next 12-60 months I'd love to meet you on the road less traveled. There's enough success to go around!
