I've Read The The Millionaire Fastlane!

[buckmajor]

Great stuff MJ, the book is very inspiring and great insight into the entrepreneurial world.

I read 10% of the book already. I feel like I'm on fire. Let's have a comp to see who makes a million in 1yr, you have to be honest with $0-1000 in your account already (I can be honest because I have less than $500) lol.

I can feel the change in my mind, now I need to see the change in my bank account woohoo!

Finished the book yesterday. I found it to be inspiring and motivational. I plan to read it again. Found it was maybe not a good I idea to read the book right before bed...had trouble sleeping as my mind wandered about the books contents and possibilities

[Jonleehacker]

Unless I was hallucinating this was my favorite part so far...

Read the book. Looks like I'm a tweener.

I got a few others that were recommended.

What Rich People Know & Desperately Want to Keep Secret
Brian Sher


Crush It!: Why NOW Is the Time to Cash In on Your Passion
Gary Vaynerchuk


Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
Jim Collins

I haven't read Sher's, but it's on my "must read" list (which is short, only other books on it are MJ's and a few Disney business books).

Good to Great was the best biz book we've read in the past 5 years.

Crush It and 4 Hour Work Week both have excellent take-aways. You needn't take them as gospel, but they're both excellent "this is how the world has changed, now change w/it" books.

I finally finished the book a few days ago. I must admit it is the best book I have read so far that really opens up your mind in believing you can be successful and become wealthy sooner than later. I love the way MJ used the car analogies and made it easier to read so people can understand better. I, like most people, really liked the 5 commandments to wealth and have been using them almost everyday when I have a new idea pop in my head. If it doesn't meet all five or at least four, I don't even bother anymore and move on. Thanks MJ for a great book and I am sure I will be reading it many more times to keep me motivated and on the right track. Watch out fastlane! I will be merging real soon.

I just finished last night. It really highlighted some things for me that I can't believe weren't common sense items to me previously.

Just added the icons for the latest postees ... I didn't add the icon for those who said they just ordered or are halfway thru ... appreciate all the great comments on the book!!

[Runum]

MJ, do you have a special section or thread where you want to discuss book concepts or discuss answers to questions?

Greg,

Just post a new thread in the most suitable forum. Thx!

[deek164]

read it. It really changed my outlook on things. I was of the typical slow lane mindset(without the debt). While things financially have been going well personally and with my business I like the idea of graduating to the fastlane shooting for the home run and "early" retirement(like in the next few years, not 30 years from now).

Finished. Woot.

[TaxGuy]

Congrats! Now can we get a Phoenix area book club together to discuss it

[brianm4289]

wow this book is excellent. Finished reading it 2 days after I got it, I couldn't put it down except for when i had to be at my "job". thanks for writing this book MJ its very motivational and informative

[RyanG]

Read the book twice now.

Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap... and Others Don't
Jim Collins

One of the best business books I listened to...that is in exact alignment with MJ's book. I listened to the entire book on audio and man oh man...some timeless wisdom that will stay with you forever as an entrepreneur.

I know this sounds hypey but I am going to say it anyway....The information in Good to Great will help you build a billion dollar company...but I will let you determine that as this is only my opinion.

Vaynerchucks books is meh...it is all about "monetize your passion" saying the same stuff all other social media people say...(blog, write, video) etc...without really giving the "how to" or show the "process" like it does in MJ's book.

[AJGlobal]

Finally finished it. Can I add that I don't read very much. Any of the books I've ever read need to really grab my attention in order for me to finish them. So most of the books I have or have read all pertain to money, business etc etc. I read the 1st half of the book within a day or so of receiving it and over the course of the next week I finished the other half. Great read and lots of useful information all around. Great Job Mike !!!!

[arohan]

Finished the book yesterday. Couldn't wait to get it in mail so downloaded the kindle app for windows and bought the kindle version. Loved it, specially since all these points already existed in my mind and the book connected them for me.

[gotbalz]

Finished last night! I like how it really breaks down the types of fastlane business, as I never thought about how some businesses are not capable of fastlane income.

This should be a must read for anybody that wants more than a 9-5 job!

I will put this information to work!!

[Fermovian]

I read the book, I liked the part where examples from MJ's own company were added. I would like to see a follow up book on how you ran your company and all the little tricks and ideas that you came up with. I would find a book that showed the actual insides of how a fastlane business works would be entertaining and valuable.
