I found MFL randomly searching for business ideas, Google brought me here and I never left.
Here's whats comical to me. Goodwill in our area used to offer 10 books for $1.99, that's right .20 a book on certain days. I would go there on those days and buy piles of books and read them all. Anything to do with business, accounting, stocks, investing etc. Anything I could get my hands on. I can never read enough or learn enough, I want to know it all. Several times at Goodwill I remember seeing MFL on the shelf and never picked it up because I dismissed it as a get rich quick book that someone sold appealing to suckers. I never even cracked the book open, I based my decision off the title alone. I have a bookcase FULL of books from all the greats and have provided myself a valuable "education" for pennies in comparison to my undergrad and grad school degrees but the irony of it is that the one book that I remember seeing and dismissed, ended up being the book that I was curious about after finding this forum and has made the largest impact on my business endeavors! After finding the website I actually went online and ordered the book, paying full price for a new copy haha (Goodwill no longer offers the deals and they didn't have any copies when I looked). Talk about irony.
I like the writing style and the mindset change that occurred in me after I read it. I cant say that about many books. There are many that I have read that have great info, but none of them impacted me the way MFL did.
