Back in august 2011, I wrote to MJ DeMarco :
Nothing, I'm still as lost and I'm 27 years still leaving with my parents . They hope I found a job soon, I'm going into wage slavery. Not a bad thing IMO, I need to figure out what's happening in these companies.
Right now I'm so lost, I don't what should I do.
I see all these start ups providing services getting funded, stuff like box delivery to dogs and cats. I want a simple life, and be the owner of mean of production.
I have a sister who makes small purses and stuff, I'd love to go that way, I don't care about programming, etc, I don't want to be a code monkey.
Hope you understand me
Love all

Hi MJ,
What changed since?I just finished reading your book and I have to say this is the best book about "how to get rich" I've ever read.
I read some other famous books : "Think and Grow Rich", "Rich Dad Poor Dad".. But yours is truly different. I also read a book in French which is pure slow-lane stuff : invest in stocks and bonds with your savings, cut your expenses, make budget for foods, clothes, pay everything in cash, pay yourself first, etc.. all the classic stuff they all say.
What I like in your book is that it describes a great roadmap towards wealth and exposes the truth about slow-lane and what "gurus" teach.
I also tried some ClickBank stuff, AdSense blogs. All the crappy internet marketing stuff which is always the same : check for niches, use google keyword tools, set a Hostgator account, use Wordpress, use this plug in.. This is straight BS. The only one making money in this process are the one selling these methods with the gradient logo and the fake 12 CDs, 23 Books pack shot.
About myself I'm currently 23 years old. I dropped a private school one year ago. I was studying multimedia, graphic design, web site development. But I left when we had to find an internship in order to work and get a first taste of the job we headed for and have a paycheck of 300€/month for a full-time job. After the internship, they tell you you have to find a work/study training program (3 days at work and 2 day at school during two years) in a company which is paid under 1000€/month.. And they tell you, that MAYBE if everything is fine (obviously implying some proper a$$-kissing) you can get a permanent position job ! Congratulations, you are now officially an adult and ready to consume.
Plus they were teaching stuff I already knew. I felt I was going to be trapped in a path I don't want : get a job, fall in love, marry, take a loan over 30 years for your house, take another loan for your car, complain all week how your hate your job, how you can't wait for the week-end and on sunday complain about how you don't want to go back to work, "monday sucks"... No disrespect to people having a job, I can totally understand why people need it, why they want to feel secure. And sometimes you just have debts or bills to pay, but I just don't like the idea of working for someone else.
I'm glad I found your book because I was kind of struggling like "what should I do now ?"
My skills are computer and internet related. I made my first website when I was 11 years old. Never stopped learning about web technologies. I guess I'll be able to find a way to do some nice stuff on internet and impact people. Because obviously be a "freelancer" or make websites for a living won't make big money because I couldn't do like 3000 websites per day.
Thank you for your book, it was straight to the point and I like it.
Have a nice day
