I've read the millionaire fastlane ! A couple friends kept telling me to read it and that it will change my life. It is super motivating and a well-needed smack in the face. I love the writing style, it's like being mentored by MJ and having a conversation rather than compiled information and ideas like some books out there. I've recommended this book to many friends and have seen it pop up more and more as recommended or necessary reading.
Please give me the stamp so I can become an INSIDERS!

Thank you MJ, this book was just what I needed. It changed my outlook on life, I now see that anything is within our reach. Financial freedom is a respected goal, but I see it as a benefit from providing value to the world. No more cages, no more limits, and no more complacency.

God Bless

I almost finish reading it, I wish I could have known this earlier in my life. This book is such a pleasure to read, I don't know MJ but he appears to be a man with a heart for others that he is sharing these with us.

My next step is to take notes and work some model to either improve my current business (does not qualify for some commandments) or to create something related to my field. Wish everybody else the best!

I have to say I love the book you wrote. I read it in 3 days. Thinking I should reread it...slower and by taking notes?

I like how it offers a philosophical approach to some aspects, but then also offers real-world implementable ideas/suggestions/acts like a guide to follow to start a business that can make you money- with certain important guidelines, and a business that will grow and prosper.

I think it is by far the best book I have read when it comes to business and have already suggested in to a few people.

Thank you once again, as I know the knowledge I have gained from the book is immense and priceless.

I have to say I love the book you wrote. I read it in 3 days. Thinking I should reread it...slower and by taking notes?

I strongly encourage you to do this. Write down the differences and formulas of the Sidewalk, the Slowlane & the Fastlane, decision matrix & the five commandments and let it be the reminder of what needs to be done every morning when you get up and every night before you go to bed.

When you lack motivation, you'll feel even crappier after seeing that and you won't let yourself procrastinate.

Read the book. It took me a week to read because I was taking a crazy amount of notes. It was a definite eye opener. It was concepts laid out that were easy to understand and get behind. I'm excited for the new me and my new journeys!

Reading the book. Solid gold advice. Love how it's more mathematical than that guru crap you get every year.

Definitely one of the books I'd gift to someone on pure greatness alone.

I read the Million Fastlane last year. It was a game changer for me for sure. Well written. Unlike most entrepreneurial books, it actually gave helpful advice without the author feeling the need to continuously brag and feed their own ego.

Great stuff MJ, going to give it a second read by the end of the year.

I just finished the book. Thanks for sharing your abundant wealth of knowledge, MJ. I learned 10000000x more from your book than I did in my college "entrepreneurship" course. I will be recommending your book as one of those "must read" business books.

Awesome suggestion. I'll do that tonight. Thanks!

Have recently finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane having had it strongly recommended by an accountability partner I speak to on a weekly basis - plan to read it again in the near future - every day reading another chapter made me more motivated to be successful.

Hi,
I've also read your book. Well, I'm in the process of reading it, and I got to know the website from the stories you provide in the book.
Some concepts I struggle with, but I'm pushing my way forward steadily. Today, I've already reached chapter 22!

Hi,

I read the book.
I really liked it and that is the reason i first started paying attention to this forum.

I’d like to thank you for showing that what I’m trying to do (create wealth) is not just a game, as every 9 to 5-er tries to persuade you.
There were a couple of points about risk and stupid acts, in TMF , I can’t agree with, but on the overall I loved the book and am recommending it forward.

Started my latest life reinvention .....(slowlane life reinvention number ... well I seemed to have lost count) My plan was to study the masters (again? As my wife so delicately put it, yes dear again). I would set aside time read 10 books- the usual suspects -emyths, good to gooder, double dad... Digging for gold, ramblings of a stock trader...blah, blah.

Well, I Decided to play the old wise one and school my son on this transformational endeavor. He was receptive and impressed (or doing a good job of faking), however; he insisted I add this Millionaire Fastlane book and some other book about getting rich in 4 hours or something like that. I glanced inside both of them for all of about 30 seconds quickly proclaimed, "I'm not wasting my time reading about some nerd claiming you can travel the world, and get rich in just 40 minutes a day." "Well ok dad, what about the Millionaire Fastlaners, it's all the stuff you've always talked about, residual income, controlling your own destiny, building something that is scalable, taking advantage of all the opportunities, spotting the trends and the trends within the trends, taking action, ignoring failure, blocking out all the naysayers, taking financial advice from workerbees. Needless to say he was right, I read TMF as the first book and now I'm screwed, I can't bear to read the other 9.

Just when the story was getting good it ended!

I am a new member here and must admit I only stumbled onto this site by accident... I saw a Tai Lopez ad on Youtube and then asked myself, "Is this guy for real." A quick google search on him led me to this site and the rest is now history...

I read TMFL in 2 days and it has completely changed my outlook on what is possible if you have the right mindset. Needless to say, I am now on my way to the FASTLANE and have already filed my LLC documents and am working around the clock to prepare my business for launch in the very near future!

Thanks for the kick in the a@@ MJ!

Got it on iBooks, great for highlighting/bookmarking. iPhone 6+ is a great reader.

One thing I would like to compliment you on is the Fastlane Distinctions. The chapters go in depth, then the bullet points drill home the ideas. Bookmarked every page of Fastlane Distinctions.

I would have bought the audio book instead, if available. Very glad that it wasn't.

And lastly, the book represents my big Ah Ha! moment, after a seemingly endless search to figure out a trail to blaze. I had the motivation, but couldn't figure out a better direction. I had already put years of work into businesses that couldn't scale. Must have done 10,000 hours of research before stumbling onto the book (from Smart Passive Income podcast)

Of course nothing is guaranteed, but I do believe the odds are in my favor now.

Finding relevant business advice is tough. There's such a wide spectrum of business models. Thanks for making something comprehensive, that couldn't be misinterpreted.

Read the fastlane book and having been a consumer of self help books for many a years this is by far the best and more importantly-thee most motivating and kick a$$ book i've read. Having knew I wasnt leading the life I needed/wanted, reading through the sidewalk description I knew this was me down to a tee. This has lit the fire in my belly and in the past week since i've finished i've been proactive in mind and body every evening after work in creating a 'masterplan' to rid myself of the 5 days for 2 days freedom millstone around my neck. Upwards and further-Good luck to everyone of us!
