Stumbled across it on Amazon, read it about a year ago, and have been lurking here ever since. Finally decided to join the forum today.

I've read the book. Am still reading it... and I figure, I'll come
back to the book to re-read it even when I'm done with it.

I don't do that to a lot of books - most of them, when I'm done
with it... goes to the bookshelves.

This one - I'll keep taking it off the shelves.

I've read it 3 times, keep 4-5 books related to success around always to read and always need a reminder every so often.

Just finished it yesterday. I can't stop talking about it. Have recommended it to several friends, and I'm implementing the material.

Fantastic book!

I was without Internet from the beginning of May and around two weeks forward. I read the book then. I had skimmed the book before, for some nuggets. But now I finally read it page by page. I may have wandered in to dream land on a few pages but all for all I was pretty focused and it was an easy read. Because the book is great.

I find it hard to see anyone top this book. What separates this book from the other books. Are the direct actionable adivce. I especially like the CENTS formula. I think choosing the right business, is probably the most important thing in creating wealth. The higher entry level, the more money to be made. Or a complicated business concept = more money. Then execution of course. The hardest part.

Great book MJ, I strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to be rich and retire early. :smx9:

Read your book! Will be rereading it in the near future after I'm done with dan kennedy's marketing book. Definitely changed my world of possibilities, and I thank you for that.

I've read the book and wanted to make an Intro post, but every time I try it, I was redirected to a blank page.

Finished - finally! Well written. This is the first book I've read that clearly and honestly lays out what to look for when starting a business. After reading this, it's no wonder the majority of businesses fail within the first five years.

I really enjoyed the book. I read it a few months ago but haven't had the time to come by here much. Hope to participate a little more in the future.

I have read your book, last year. I still read parts of your book from time to time and I am currently using the information in the book to help build my online business. It has changed my mindset and changed my way of thinking about money and how I live my life. Thank you for writing this book.

MJ, I have read the book (several times) and thought it is one of the best books on making money out there. I have read over 1,000 books over the years, and I have several that have made an impact on me. This book ranks in the top 10.

Your formulas are brilliant. I especially like the scale x magnitude = wealth. It is such a simple concept yet nobody takes the time to think about it when they ask themselves "what do I want to be when I grow up".

Until I read this book I was concentrating on investments and things I had little control over. This book provided the missing link that pieced the puzzle together for me. I feel I am on the right path now, though I may need to take some hard knocks before I finally succeed. I am building my first online business and am treading in territory that is completely foriegn to me, yet I know that this is the path that will get me where I want to go. I may fail 10 or even 100 times, but I will not give up. Thanks for showing me the way.

Mike

Hello MJ!

I have read the book and will read it again.
I personally like how you take some more complex concepts and distill them down to practical applications.
Great book!
When is your next one coming out? :)

Hi MJ,

I've read the book and am busy reading it for the second time.
Really like your writing style and the fact that you own the publishing company :D
Awesome book, best I've read in a long time.

Just finished the book. I have read dozens of books by the Guru's and It always left me scratching my head in the sense that they were were always full of ambiguous advice on how to get rich but then they were really not practicing what they were teaching. They were getting rich telling people about getting rich but not really how. Thank you Mr. DeMarco for exposing them for me and saving me a ton of money on self help paraphernalia as well as getting my head out of MLM. I guess I will put them up for sale on eBay and see how much I can get out of them. I am developing a patent currently and I have a website idea that I am going to develop. Does this make me a polygamist? Regardless Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can only hope that one day I will be able to help as many people as you have.

Live long and prosper.
