I ordered MF a month ago on Amazon, but didn't read it until yesterday. In fact, yesterday was the perfect timing, as I just found out that one of my biggest clients went bankrupt and is defaulting on the 10,000 they owe me for my copywriting services. MF stated it perfectly: If you want to be rich, you need CONTROL.
I read MF front cover to back in one 6-hour sitting. This book was the most eye-opening book on money I've ever read. It sparked something in me that made my brain come alive... I can no longer rely on others to pay me if I want to be rich--I have to find a way to pay myself.
Copywriting is a great job. I get to sit at home, sipping tea while I make $1,000 for writing a 2-page sales letter. But this job has its flaws:
After finishing MF yesterday, I just sat there thinking for awhile. I think I am like many others here, who only recently realized their approach to making money was flawed. I also want to get on the fastlane.
Right now, I am at the very beginning. I have a few ideas, but I need to work out the kinks. I will continue copywriting for some immediate income, but slowly ween myself off. I'd love to hear from others who've gone through what I am going through right now.

Copywriting is a great job. I get to sit at home, sipping tea while I make $1,000 for writing a 2-page sales letter. But this job has its flaws:
- I've become lazy. I only work 2-4 hours a day. So, even though I have a high-paying job, my monthly salary is no different from a slowlaner.
- I'm trading time for money. While some of my clients give me royalties for sales, most just pay me a lump sum. This means if I want to earn more, I have to trade more time.
- Copywriting fails in three commandments: Control, Scale, and Time.
