Have read the book several times. I am constantly referring to it when questioning an opinion or idea. I like to run through it every few weeks, and look at each of the chapter summaries. (it is starting to look weathered)

Thanks for seeing it through, it has been the most influential book in my life so far.

Most powerful book I've read in my entire life, read it for the first time about two years ago and haven't been the same since. Like others, I didn't even know this thread was out in the forum, but glad I found it. Thank you for creating such a gold mine for entrepreneurs MJ. The book, the website, the community, the entire empire you have built is PRICELESS.

With out it, I'm afraid my journey to success would of been a 30-40 year process, now I'm confident it will be less than 10.

Here : https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/diary-of-young-entrepreneur-from-poland.56856/ i explain why i read this book twice. First it open my eyes and i change my whole life, work and goals. It was a great adventure and i still like to open sometimes my kindle and look at this pice of art. Second time i realize that i really want to get on a speedway pass so i read it again, make more notes and understand where i want to go and where i want to be and where im now. For me it's really important to read and make change, not only to dream. MJ i saw all You YT videos, done a lot of researches and i can say one thing, THANK YOU. You inspired me to be better person.

I started and finished the book last week. I loved the writing style and the message. I've now completed taking notes on big takeaways for me and have started generating 10 ideas a day. None of the ideas are any good so far, but hopefully my need finding/creativity muscles will continue to grow.

I've read the book.

I read business books quite frequently (about 1 book every 2 weeks) and I must say that this is absolutely the most enlightening business book I read this year...

I see things very differently now...

Thanks M.J.

Feel free to post your comments about the book as well!

Thanks, MJ

@MJ DeMarco - Thank you. I have the read the book for the 2nd time now and am committed to the process. I have admittedly started and failed with many businesses and learned from my mistakes. I am an autodidact of ecommerce and online marketing and have been doing it working for companies for over 14 years. I have a family, mortgage, 1 car lease and have many slow lane aspects of my life, yet I do own a profitable ecommerce business and am building my asset value and net profit every month towards the fast lane.

In the words of Jay-Z, "I hated Algebra, but I love to multiply." I used to hate math, but now it's on my side and I love it.

Thank you for the equation below, I review it everyday and think, how can I improve my accounting, profitability, and documentation to package this business up for a 3-4 multiplier of net profit, then let's do it again!

"Wealth = Net Profit + Asset Value

Underneath this equation lies the true power of the Fastlane and how to build wealth fast. Its variables are controllable and unlimited. If you can control the variables inherent to your wealth equation, you can get wealthy. Those variables are: Net Profit = (Units Sold) X (Unit Profit) ~ and ~ Asset Value = (Net Profit) X (Industry Multiplier)"

-DeMarco, MJ (2011-01-04). The Millionaire Fastlane : Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime (pp. 120-121). Viperion Publishing. Kindle Edition.

Thank you again @MJ DeMarco

I've been in the info-marketing/publishing/internet marketing business for 7 years and this book is 100% the truth! It's time to start holding some of these gurus to a higher standard so more people can get real results. Great book MJ! Keep doing what you do!

Just finished the book last week. It was recommended via a Podcast I listened to about real estate - I'm a real estate investor. The guest on the Podcast said it was his vote for the best business he'd read. I certainly agree that the writing style is very effective. Definitely has given me a different perspective as it relates to getting rich slowly and what the get-rich slowly gurus espouse versus what they actually implement to obtain wealth. Great book man! I have recommended it to my cohorts.

I finally managed to finish reading The Millionaire Fastlane . I'm a fast reader, but I took my time to let all the information sink in because I knew this book was going to be different from all the other entrepreneur books I have read. Chapters 23-26 resonated with me the most because they had a heavy focus on choices and mindset. Then when I read about the Law of Effection everything started coming together and I couldn't put the book down! Excellent job, MJ!
I plan on taking everything I've learned from the book, and this forum, and applying it to my life on a daily basis.

Just finished this book. It has motivated me to put down everything that has been a distraction and begin to take action. My goal for 2015 is to start a legitimate business even if I have to start with baby steps.

Read just a half of it, but I can say:
I can now drop any occult and alchemy. The Philosopher's Stone has been found. The key of turning anything into wealth.
I feel obliged to spread a word of it. Many thanks.

No idea how I never stumbled upon this thread in the 2 years since joining...

I found this forum by reading the book.

:D

Just read the book. I've been making six-figures on my job and was burnt out and not full-filled. I was getting rich slowly and loosing hope when I knew I could produce more. I started scrolling websites and looking for some ideas and inspiration to escape the rat race. Stumbled upon TFF and read the book. It has given me a breath of fresh air. Thanks for this platform MJ and all the contributors!
