Fastlane Testimonials

[yveskleinsky]

I too would also like to hold off writing a testimonial until I have something substantial to write about.

For the time being I will say, "If The Four Hour Work Week and Rich Dad, Poor Dad had a love child it would be The Fastlane to Millions. ...Forget everything you thought you knew about business and money and be prepared to be taken on a ride that will leave your heart pounding and brain burning!"

Mike,
To say that your advice and the "fastlane principles" you teach have changed my life is an understatement. 4 years ago, I was a clue-less kid fresh out of college with a negative net worth, credit card debt, and a sportscar I was struggling to pay the insurance on. When I secured my first job with a whopping 40k salary, I was eager to show off my new income and display that "facade of wealth" you have spoken of. I bought an expensive watch and a new "young executive" wardrobe. My credit card debt creeped toward and eventually far exceeded my monthly income. I was completely oblivious to the down-ward spiral I was quickly setting myself up to drown in. All the while, I had huge dreams of reaching the fastlane someday but NO CLUE how to execute them. I KNEW there was a better life out there, but I had become frustrated about how to reach it. One night, while surfing the internet and stressing about my bills for the coming month, I came across an internet forum that interested me (exotic cars). As I sat there in awe that I could actually interact with millionaires and the likes of people I ASPIRED to be like, something hit me like a load of bricks. An epiphany had occured, and I would never be the same. I began to listen much more then I posted, and made myself a sponge to the guys willing to share their stories and advice with some of us "young-guns" starting out. As you know, one of those members that reached out to me, was you. After reading months of your free advice in the open "Business" forum (from everything from investing to debt-solutions), it all started coming together for me. My past mistakes became painstakingly obvious. I began to see WHY I was living paycheck to paycheck, and I decided then and there that I was going to escape it. 4 years later, I have almost quadropuled my net worth. I now own 2 houses, and am working on a 3rd. I have saved and invested more in the past few years then many of my friends in their 30's. My debt (aside from very minimal student loans and real-estate) is almost non-existant. Furthermore, at 26 years old now, the education I have recieved in the past 4 years far exceeds anything I could have learned in college. I really dont know where I would be right now without the guidance youve given me, or how different things could be if I hadnt changed my life when I did.

(feel free to arrange/reword that as you see fit MJ. I dont think my writing skills are quite at your caliber yet, but I'd be honored to support you in any way I can!).

Thanks everyone for these postings!!

I will be providing a good testimonial after the launch of our website. I have been able to document many steps in the process for founding my Learning Institute for Entrepreneurs supplemented by my new game. My biz partner and I determined in the beginning we would limit our startup capital to only what the lower class average American can generate. We will definitely be giving credit to your forum.

What the fast lane has taught me is that is quite possible to make millions in a few short years. Although not there yet I have set goals for different stages of my plan out of the slow lane.

I was a big fan of Suze Orman and how to scrimp and save until I retire. The Fast Lane has taught me to look for ways to leverage my money. Some times even 100 fold or more. The opportunities are out there. Just find out what you love to do, How to make an abundance of money at it and how to give it back!

Right now I am in stage two. How to make abundance. Find your car, get in, sit down, shut up and hang on!

I received this via PM ... I'll keep the author anonymous because he didn't specific he wanted it public. But I thought I add it here so I have a record of it.

I am 23, all I want out of life is to be a successful entrepreneur, I do not know exactly what did it, to prove others wrong, to make my dad proud who would work his fingers to the bone to make us happy, whatever it was the flame was lit.

Somehow I found your site, I believe through google. Since I joined this site, I have made more money, I have read many books, I have set higher goals than I ever would have without this, and I am happier.

For someone with the desire like I have for success, this community is priceless. I would pay for a membership without even thinking about it. Studying others success, hearing their positive attitudes and studying why they are so motivated has changed me. The number one thing this site has brought to me in staying positive. I remember when I joined I said to myself "why is everyone so positive, why are they telling me, "you can do it", they don't even know me. I truly believe this site has changed my life and will change my life forever.

I WILL BECOME A MILLIONAIRE ONE DAY AND LEAD THE LIFE I WANT TO BECAUSE I HAVE THE COURAGE TO GET BACK UP WHEN OTHERS STAY DOWN. Do me a favor and keep this e-mail, I believe it can help others here one day, I will get in touch with you when my dream has been accomplished. Thank you, all money aside, you really are helping others.

Thanks everyone for making this community a wonderful place.

That's awesome!

Here is my long over-due testimonial:

I don't just want to show my admiration for MJ and this forum, I also want to communicate some reality. When I 1st started on this forum, I had lost my business a little over a year before and was in the process of rebuilding after and undergoing some major personal changes. I had just finally been told the colon cancer I had seemed completely gone and the cause was most likely due to Crohn's disease. I my daughter had just turned 2 shortly after a few of my posts, and I had just been dumped by my Fiancé'!

Despite these normal "kicks in the teeth" we Entrepreneurs often overcome (my story no different than most successful Entrepreneurs), I had inadvertently began a career as an Entrepreneur Mentor through the not so subtle push from Investor friends. This forum represented an avenue for someone like myself to pass on knowledge to members seeking it. For the most part, I have had a phenomenal response! MJ is clearly an intelligent man with a bright future (get your book done!) Wink is meant...

The best thing I can say is I have learned much more than expected from this forum. As I was providing my experience, many new and would-be Entrepreneurs have contacted me for further advice, which showed me how important this type of communication is. I also learned different techniques along the way to better teach, since I have been met with much resistance (expected) to my philosophies and techniques.

So the good here is the awesome willingness to learn and improve by the members (especially the new ones). The bad is sometimes people just want to express their problems rather than get help, which invariably should not affect this forum. As I have returned and surpassed my former business success in the short time I have been part of this wonderful forum, I can see both sides of the coin clearly, so I say one thing I feel is very important:

This website is a brilliant avenue for knowledge, filled with some experienced Entrepreneurs, many motivated Entrepreneurs, many soon-to-be Entrepreneurs all exchanging valuable information. Just never forget to edify your sources on anything! I feel confident you can look towards sound knowledge from MJ (through his book).

Thanks MJ for providing this website!

Bump for newbies!

I cannot even express how much The Fastlane to Millions has changed my life in only 9 months after joining. I had been a long time lurker for almost 2 years and joined last May. Well from May of 2009 to this very day, my life has changed for the better. While I have still not had any financial success yet, I have learned lessons that are very difficult to grasp unless you take action and participate in the discussion here.

In only 9 months I have learned and created....

1. The Importance of Time. Time is not forever and goes by quicker than you think.

2. Taking Action is Priceless. Talk is cheap, anyone can do it. What separates talk and and actual success is getting up and putting the words into action.

3. Being around like minded people does wonders for you. This forum is free of complainers and people with victim mentality. Being around positive people creates a positive attitude within you and inspires you do better.

4. Complaining gets you nowhere. Instead of complaining take that problem and turn it into opportunity.

5. Take that opportunity and turn it into something real. I found a problem, made a product out of it and my patent will be published by the USPTO in 6-7 months. All at the age of 17.

6. In order to move on you must get rid of your safety net. Playing it safe and being afraid to take risks will have you staying in the same place forever. Take a chance, jump from your safety net,and reach for your dreams and goals.



The Fastlane to Millions has changed my life and I do not regret joining in and participating in active business discussions. The community here is one that cannot be found anywhere else on the internet.

Testimonial pulled elsewhere ...

Talk about flushing Orman down the toilet!
Posted by Tom on 20th Oct 2010

This is my favorite entrepreneurial book EVER! This is the only road map you need to make big money and chase your dreams. Seriously. The concepts taught in the book are the best foundation a person could ever ask for to make millions and millions of dollars, no matter what industry your interest is in. A+++ (I'm reordering cuz I want all my family to read this!)

[servicefly]

Ok, I have now read the entire book! I took slow as to absorb everything (a full week). I am now requiring any Entrepreneur I invest with to read and understand your book before I consider their project. I can give no better testimonial than that!

Great book; gaps above the typical success books out.

[alainn]

This forum changed my life. I'm going to drop out of college like you said and become an entrepreneur! just kidding haha. But seriously, I was already thinking of focusing on my dreams of building businesses rather than continue to be transformed into a mindless corporate drone in school. I'm going to get a decent job that covers my living expenses so I can focus my time and energy on building a business that is satisfies consumers needs and builds profitable customer relationships. Hey, I'm going to play the devil's advocate and say: business school is not all that bad. sure they train you for employment instead of entrepreneurship... but you learn a lot of useful concepts that can be applied to building businesses!

[Creative1]

WOW after reading all the above, looks like I've come to the right place to get my business started. I've a lot of questions and look forward to what you have to share with me. Also, I'm going to get the "Fastlane" book. From the comments I've read, it sounds like a great investment.

[millionairesol]

Reading the Millionaire Fa$tlane, apart from the revolution it is already causing in my life; anything that steals my time away for nothing is no more treated friendly, I have within the last few days used the concepts in the book to impact positively on my kid brother who incidentally in that past few days has tremenndously improved as a web programmer. The guy is going to go places. Sometimes, during morning devotion I pick up a subject in the Fastlane book to discuss with my family. It's amazing the revolution it's causing already. Everybody should mark it; give me 12 months and you will read my blockburster testimony. We're going places and changing lives with the fastlane wealth phylosophy and psychology.
Thanks a lot once more MJ for this thoughtful book.
