@MJ DeMarco , now THAT is really cool! If someone would have told you when you were 25 that you'd have bestsellers, AND the mainstream financial news networks lauding you, most likely you'd have thought they were nuts.
Congrats man!

I've heard of a few of the other books (not read them, though), and imagine most, if not all, of the others pimp the Slowlane.

Congratulations MJ. Your books need to get even more mainstream coverage in my opinion.
I don't recall anything else being such a life changing event for me as was reading your books... except one near death event maybe, but this wasn't positive.

Thanks again for this community and these books. I'm grateful that you keep providing value to us week after week.

Let's hope they talk about Unscripted before the second chapter comes out ;)

Hope they didn't judge it by the cover only :D
honestly, when I saw TMF the first time, I told myself: "naa, not another one of that bullshit get rich fast and easy books", but than the book was recommended in a YT-Video and I gave it - luckily - a try.

Wow, TMF got a mainstream mention on a mainstream financial news website.

I'm shocked!

Just reading the book, and it's quite amazing, I was wondering if an IT recruitment consultancy that specializes could be classed as fastlane.

This thread is coincidental for me - not more than an hour ago, the First Lady and I were going over our site, literally standing at the precipice of a life altering event - our first product launch, and we were taking a moment to reflect. We pondered over the last 2 years. What caused such a transcending polar shift in our lives? What caused our life to suddenly snap in a different direction?

The book. The exact point in time that we pivoted was when I got the book. That was the FTE, being told by @MJ DeMarco exactly how life is and what to expect of my remaining time on this earth if I do or don’t do something. It burned a blinding new connection in my brain, dulling all the bullsh*t that generations of people before me accumulated about “life” for me to mold myself to. I remember reading it and panicking, feeling like I had really f*d up - then getting pissed, and finally - excited. I’ve been excited ever since, I have a life to look forward to!

The rest of the world has been sleeping on it.

Congrats MJ!

This book deserves all the publicity and praise it gets.

MJ if I were you I’d feel so incredibly proud that I’d created something of such value for the world. You’re really helping us and our families!

Yesterday I read a Mintel report that said 19% of millennials spend all their disposable income, yet they feel financially optimistic. Turns out they’re optimistic because they don’t have houses or families to support so they “feel” wealthy. You’re enlightening people. I for one make sure I tell everyone about your books!
Thank you

If the dream is alive and you're in pursuit of it, then you're already "living the dream."

Thanks for the story!

Congrats! This book has had a massive impact in my way of thinking and subsequently, my life. I am about to launch my fist product and I can guarantee that I would not be in this position without your book.

It's a giant truth sandwich that few want, but everyone needs.

it won't go global because of the 80 20 principle. how many guys do you know arround you who can and actually do whatever it takes for superior goals ? the answer is very few people . the 80 20 principle at work. and you can't change the statistics. this is the reality in this world.
