Kid's Millionaire Fastlane - We Want It. Vote Yes!!

[codonnell]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hi MJ and Forum Members,<br /> <br /> Like all members here, I love the Millionaire Fastlane book and own Kindle and Audio Version (MJ&#039;s acting voice is unparalleled, especially when he speaks the part of the Slowlaners). I am applying MJs principles to my hedge fund.<br /> <br /> My Niece is turning 8 and I would love her to be introduced to the principles of the Millionaire Fastlane as soon as possible. The current text of MF is too adult for her.<br /> <br /> Would MJ consider putting out a child&#039;s version with exercises (calculate what you can earn as an employee versus owning a business etc)?<br /> <br /> The rewrite could be outsourced majority of work to a children&#039;&#039;s educational author!<br /> <br /> If you agree, please respond to this post with the text: Kids Millionare Fastlane.</div>

[dave773]

<div class="bbWrapper">Would your kid actually read the book? 8 Years old seems way too young for most kids that age.<br /> <br /> Instead.. why don&#039;t you teach her (without her knowing), important principles for success?<br /> <br /> Use the book &#039;TaGR&#039; as an example. The first story in that book talks about a father doing this same thing for his deaf son.<br /> <br /> Have exploratory conversations with her. Try to nudge her and make it &#039;her thoughts&#039; instead of you telling her something.<br /> <br /> Good idea.. but kids would not be thinking about how to abide by the 5 Commandments to go fastlane at that age. Most people in adulthood would not /do not understand it.</div>

[applesack]

<div class="bbWrapper">I think the idea of writing a children&#039;s version of the book is good. The question is probably one of marketability more than anything else. That one is tricky since most parents don&#039;t give a damn about their children&#039;s education.<br /> <br /> My wife, however, writes children&#039;s stories. She makes a point of covering as many adult-type topics as possible for the age-group she is targeting. Why and how to decouple time from your work equation are simple ideas with enormous implication, but I believe they can be understood by a child... I think would even be obvious to many children.<br /> <br /> In Mark Twain&#039;s Huckleberry Finn there is the funny story about Huck conning his friends into painting a wall for him. It is the same basic idea.<br /> <br /> I&#039;d say its an idea worth investigating in any case. How many of us have kids? I do!</div>

I&#039;m personally 16 years old, and i assume my age is categorised under the word &quot;Kid&quot;. With that said, after I read the Millionaire Fastlane i put time and effort into changing my mindset, which only was partly developed because I was following the view upon life that are given by the schools. Get a long education, get a job, work your way up the ladder while saving to your 401k, retire at 80, and take the risk of living, and so forth. <br /> However, if you as a kid (from any country, I&#039;m from Denmark myself), and decide to apply the rules highlighted, you will get as much out of the book as any adult. I put my time and effort into it, and found my own &quot;Fastlane&quot; from starting a Newsletter/webshop, and I&#039;m almost ready for launch. This is not my final step over the finish line, but it&#039;s my first single step on a great marathon.<br /> However, I certainly support the idea of spreading the mindsets to 8 year olds, so im fully supportive of the idea.</div>
