I am a member of a real estate investment forum & i made a thread over there asking if anyone knew of an other self employment forums. Someone posted the link in the thread & I've been here everyday ever since. I'm on this forum at work, home, in the car, .etc. After being on the forum for a few months, i bought & read the book.

I came here in August of 2007 from the RDPD forums. I bought the book this past winter and realized that neither I nor RE Taipan had been here in a very long time and this forum had been the catalyst for us doing a complete re-make on our lives in 2009 and leaving the sidewalk behind for good, though MJ wasn't calling it the sidewalk back then, I think he just called it being selfish and not focusing on the needs of others, consuming and not producing.

Yep, that was me. It was April 24 last year on the BP forum. Glad you made it.

I found out about MJ and the forum from the interview MJ did with Pat Flynn on Smart Passive Income about a year ago. Glad I did!

haha most of you say this forum, a book, or someone great like Steve Jobs. I found it through some guy who went to jail.

Don Lepre's World's Greatest Vitamin (sort of a start) - Watching his late night TV commercials gave me the motivation. Too bad he went to jail.

I found the "Fastlane" through JScotts' blog. One of the best links I've ever come across. Thanks for running a solid forum, MJ.

I found out about the book on the Escaping the 9 to 5 blog, specifically, this post.

After reading the post, I immediately went to Amazon and bought a copy for my Kindle. The book was everything that I hoped it would be!

In my case, someone on an SEO forum I frequent mentioned the book. He said "it changed his life" so I thought I should check it out and here I am.

I was thinking about it and I got curious as to how people here found this forum and/or this book.

I found it due to a review of The Millionaire Fastlane that Abdul (mohammedabshaun on YouTube) did, which I found from a video response to one of Abdul's videos by Moses McCormick (laoshu505000 on YouTube, a language-learning channel). I thought it was funny that MJ borrowed the term "Fastlane" from Kiyosaki (Rich Dad/Cashflow game), who was also pretty inspirational. Read RDPD some years ago; found it in my parents' bookcase, along with Think and Grow Rich, the Art of the Deal, The Intelligent Investor and some Suze Orman books.

How did YOU guys find "Fastlane"?

I was referred by a friend who read the book and was on the forum Likwid24

I found this forum when I was in Google searching for another Entrepreneur forum and read a couple of posts and automatically saw the quality and now I am here. I think I'm the only that hasn't read the book lol but I have like 3 other books pending I want to read. But I will eventually read it. I'm just hoping is as great as everyone said, because I have in fact read other books.

I learned about the Fastlane forum through MJ's book, which was suggested by James Jani on his YouTube channel. I'm not through TMF yet, but I'm really enjoying and learning so far.
Good Lord! I was just about to start replying to this trend when I came across yours. I also learnt about the fastlane forum from Mj himself in the book TMF (Awesome read if you ask me). The real reason I even bothered buying his book in the first place? A YouTuber who goes by the name James Jani. I watched one of his numerous videos titled "The Untold Truths About Money" which he, of course, said was heavily inspired by MJ DeMarco. One thing that stuck with me was the first few seconds into the video. To tune down a bit of your curiosity here's the illustration he used:- Let's assume this dot(.) represents $1million. That simply means $10million will be (..........). Moving this forward a $100million dollars will be (....................................................................................................). Fast forward and $1billion dollars will be (....................................................................................................................................................... Okay there are too many dots involved so I will just stop). Bottom line of all this? He typed out an overwhelming amount of dots and then multiplied that by about 117. That right there represents the networth of the richest man in the world. Beyond staggering. There is no way in hell I am going to settle for less when I can live the kind of life I want. No Way!

I found out about TFM from an ex-boyfriend. He was a heavy reader on a lot of subjects but especially economics that he was/is working on going to a 'fastlane' life and mindset. So, after reading quite a lot of books recommended from some youtubers I watched about wealth ( Rich Dad Poor Dad, Richest man in Babylon, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Think and Grow Rich -an old read) I decided to try TFM ( confusing title, not very 'read for quality' convincing ). Best desision ever! A smack in the face to wake up, gave me reality shocks and much much needed new knowledge, connecting dots in my not so mathematical/economy driven mind ( in the right sense of economy with all its' human factors, consumption-production 'being' ) and shouting to the crowd about the 'wealth guru experts' : 'The King is Naked!' . But I valued it most of all for it gave me purpose. Again. Like the one I had when I was still a student. And the energy, optimism, personal fulfilment through purpose, through giving value to the world is what I cherish the most and am so so grateful.

My dad actually introduced the concept to me. Didn't want me to get stuck like he did. Now we're both trying to claw our way out.
