Thank you!

I'm next in the line.

Just read the FM book - eye opener.

Great THANK YOU towards MJ. After getting to $M club you could just sit down and enjoy it. Instead you took the effort and made a machine that will produce $M for many of us.

THANK YOU AGAIN!

The Millionaire Fastlane is the best book I've ever read on the subject of making money / success/ etc.

I've read Stephen Covey, Tony Robbins, Langmeier, Napoleon Hill, and countless others. The Millionaire Fastlane tops them all!

Other books promise to reveal that which sets millionaires apart from the rest, but after reading them I was always left feeling as if something fundamental was missing. Those fundamental pieces are laid out clearly in The Millionaire Fastlane .

Thanks MJ! I am supremely confident that your book has shown me the true path to wealth.

I've read this book! I got it on my Kindle from Amazon.com - it changed the way that I think about business and entrepreneurship and gave me the inspiration to finally get started on some things I've been thinking about for quite a while.

All of the concepts were so easily explained- it wasn't complicated or technical and it all made a lot of sense.

After reading this book, I am more conscious than ever about my lifestyle and DEFINITELY do not want to be on the sidewalk or the slowlane. It's the fastlane for me :)

Great book MJ. These principles really hit home especially trading time for money. I am looking to execute a plan and have reached out to others on this forum. Advice is candid and it's always important to know to be cognizant of other's time and it's value. Thanks for being so open and also contrarian in how most of the world thinks! No wonder you are so successful.

Kind Regards,
ASR

I have read the book and believe it to be spot on correct. It has cause me to tweek many aspects of my financial and business plan. I especially enjoy the sections about making your business fastlane by using leverage, scope, scale, magnitude, etc. I have recommended this book to others.

Great Book

I read this book and loved every minute of it. The information presented is priceless and I feel fortunate to be one of the lucky few out of billions of people on earth to possess such knowledge. Now it is up to me to put it into action.

I read the book, which is what motivated me to come to this forum and join. I guess I kind of did the reverse and found the book first, and then found the forum.

I actually almost passed on the book because I thought it was just "another" business book by another so-called "guru". The hypey title made me think that initially, but for whatever reason I bought it anyway. And I am so glad that I did!

This book is seriously the best entrepreneurial business book I have ever read. Seriously. It validated so many things that I already thought, and was a real kick in the a$$ to stop "planning" so much and get out there an execute. I was already executing, but not with the speed I should have been - I've always been one of those people who tries to line everything up "perfectly".

Thanks MJ, I'm turning everyone who asks me anything about business on to your book!

Looking forward to participating in the forum with other like minded individuals.

Eric

Finished the book last week and loved it. It's the only business/lifestyle book I've read where I was nodding to myself the whole time in agreement.

My job has made me complacent but your book has renewed my hunger.

nothing short of gold.

I also have read the book and cannot rate it highly enough!

The book is great. It is in the process of changing my life.

I must say it is unlike any book I have ever read.

I really enjoyed your book. It was a masterpiece!

Just read the FM book - eye opener.

The Millionaire Fastlane is the best book I've ever read on the subject of making money / success/ etc.

It's an exciting read all the way. And it fully delivers on it's promises.

I read the book and found it to be amazing

Great book MJ. These principles really hit home especially trading time for money.

I'm not in the same league as Felix but I appreciate the correlation. :tiphat:

Awesome read took me forever

Just finished...great motivation...funny how quickly your focus shifts to "producer" mode when thinking about everyday things and seeing scale opportunities everywhere.

Also note; quick arrival directly from publisher, less than a week to Toronto when it quoted 6 - me likey!

I have read the book twice over 6 months ago! Great book. Can't seem to hold a copy because I keep giving them away to budding Entrepreneurs! Given away 5 now and counting. Your book has surpassed "The Art of the Start" in my giving away test; I have given 4 of them away.

I am already looking forward to a second Fastlane book! No pressure, LOL.

This book has indescribable value to me. The past 2 years I've gone downhill in most aspects of my life.
The Millionaire Fastlane had me regain my passion, my fire, my drive to excel, my determination, my everything.
I have faith again in being rich in time, money and love before I am 92813513 years old.

MJ, your book gave me hope.. err, I mean control, lol. I thought it just wasn't possible to be rich young.
I can finally look forward to a carefree life. I can finally realize my dream of giving the girl of my dreams our 'dream' (soon to be reality) wedding on a tropical island. I can finally live the life that I've forever wanted. Thank you, MJ, for opening my eyes.

EDIT: oh, and I've read the book of course, haha.

I read your book!

I first heard about it at the StevePavlina forum - recommended by many members. (I enjoy Steve's advice, although sometimes it's "all over the board", subject-wise.) I bought the book first, then learned about this forum.

I loved this book! There were many moments in which my own conclusions were validated, but also many more moments of enlightenment and inspiration. I spent an entire day going through the book again, writing down notes of the most important points. My notes are over 30 pages long!

It's been a long time since I've found a book that really excites me and gives me hope for a better future.

Just thought I'd share something. Was poking around online looking at book reviews on this and came across a forum. Someone had asked about the book and the first reply was someone who didn't even read it. He was saying it was a scam and just like every other get rich book. His reasoning was because it only had 5 star ratings on amazon, at the time it was 49. He said that someone paid people for the reviews. Later he admitted he was wrong for judging it as many people were backing the book up. I even saw MJ had a post in there. Just goes to show how good the book really is, now it has over 100 5 star reviews on amazon.

Good job on the book MJ.

I believe the contents of the book should be etched into gold. While a number of the books in my possession sit unread collecting dust, yours is probably the only one I read from beginning to end, twice. It was actually the first one I picked up on ibooks, and toilet university classes were subsequently extended by at least an hour. Thanks for putting your heart and soul into writing it, that's definitely something you should keep doing. I think it's an easy read because I quickly wanted to get through the dissection of where I spent the majority of my life, and get to the light at the end of the tunnel in which I've been working towards. So..ya, big ups dude!

Um, apparently I've never posted in this thread yet, but...

Not only have I read the book, twice, but I've also mindmapped it, and keep it at my desk at all times. I love it. It's changed my entire perception of wealth/business building/mindset and attitude. Being a teenager, that section on Choices and making them pops up in my head almost every day, even for the most menial things. So thanks MJ :)

bring on the icon! :D

I am almost through with the book---and I absolutely love it! What a great way to explain how the rich get richer. I love the fast lane/slow lane/car analogies. I am a business owner and it makes so much sense how you can limit yourself by not thinking in terms of magnitude and scale. The book has really opened my eyes to a lot of different things that I never really thought of.

Nice work MJ,

Kevin Valluzzi

Thanks!

Hello MJ,

just finished reading your book.
I read many things about "getting rich fast" (since there is hardly a shortage for this kind of information out there) and the reason why I decided to invest my time in reading "The Millionaire Fastlane " was that you obviously "walk your talk" and anybody who does that deserves my respect and attention.

Of course I expected to get about the same advice from your book, as most of this kind of books give. But you REALLY exceeded my expectations! What I love most about it is that you get to the one question that I think is most important: "What makes us really happy?" And I totally agree with you, that it has to do with the three Fs, Friends (relationships), Fitness (health) and Freedom (Independence). Money can be a wonderful tool to nurture happiness and therefore should be a means, not an end.

Thank you very much for putting in the hard work to make this great book a reality! :hurray:

The book is certainly on my top list of things to get, and give myself plenty of time to read it thoroughly.

Now that there are a several thousand copies out there, this is the thread to let me know that you've read the book. If you read the book, post here and you will get an icon under your screenname and additional forum privileges. (Private forum, more PM storage, etc.)

Thanks, MJ

I read the book. It actually contained a lot more information than I expected. I was pleasantly surprised. I downloaded it for Kindle and read it on my travels in Southeast Asia (which I recently returned from).

My favorite part, which I am constantly referring to now, are the five commandments. I constantly keep them in mind now. I've also trained myself to spot opportunity in problems...

Interestingly, before I read the book I was one of the 4 Hour Work Week crowd. I thought it would be cool to make web sites that I dont have to spend any time on... So I did it, the money came in, and I quit my day job.

Now I realize that creating and working (but not for The Man) is what keeps me motivated. Forget the 4 hour work week. If you love what you do, you work forever.

The only minor criticism I had was that the driving analogy was a bit overdone for me...I got it pretty quick :)
