Fight Club: Membership Requirements
The greatest benefit of Fight Club is getting to know other entrepreneurs and CEO's. Since we're gathering a number of decision makers in one place, it becomes very attractive to vendors looking to hawk their tawdry wares. Hence the invitation only. Sorry to those who think it's eliteist but...
Membership Requirement #1: CEO Entrepreneurs with real companies.
No students. No vendors. No sales guys.
You can get around requirement #1 very easily. A current member can bring whoever they want. So if you're a student, vendor, or sales guy, just get a member to invite you. Just make sure it's worth their time and the endless derision that will be heaped upon them for peeing in the pool.
Also, since the purpose of Fight Club is to build a network of entrepreneurs who actually know each other personally, rather than just what our businesses do. Here's an exercise to help us determine the cut of your jib. The performance of which will tell our members much about you, if you're interested in contributing, if you can tell a story, if you want to offer some time and insight to others, if you have a sense of humor. That kind of stuff.
Semi-optional Requirement #2: Write your last fight.
Write and publish (to this site) the story of the last fight you were involved in. (Physical blows exchanged.)
If you've never been in a fight you have three alternatives:
- Write a fictional story of a fight that you might have been in at some time in your lift but that you loose embarrassingly.
- Write a thesis on why physical violence can't solve society's problems and how this site is destroying our children.
- Put your tail between your legs and slink away knowing you're not Fight Club material.

You are hysterical!
1. No where in this post's requirements do you explicitly state its a "man's only club".
2. No where in this post's requirements do you explicitly state we must live in Utah.
Hence, shall I dare step up to the rink and show you men all off! Striking a punch, whipping a kick, throwing some Jeet Kun Do, and bringing on some nasty cat-fighting as only a gal knows how!?
Your Fight Club will *never* be the same, shall you allow me to post my application. And, well...the only *real* problem I see with the post's requirements, as is: is I've never lost before! So, making up a fictional story will be just that: a Fictional Fight...and quite frankly, that's a whimpy entrance exam!
Eagerly awaiting your approval to move on ;-)
