I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!

[X4V3Y]

I read the book while serving my country in the military. A lifesaver as it kept me motivated and gave me the tenacity to withstand the displeasure...

So I thank you for it - the story aspect of it was just what I needed

As a business owner these books have inspired me. With the help of The Fastlane Forum I'm scaling up. I've listed to the audiobook and thoroughly enjoyed it.

##### SUMMARY

UNSCRIPTED - The Great Rat Race Escape : From Wage Slavery to Wealth, How to Start a Purpose Driven Business and Win Financial Freedom for a Lifetime
(Yes, really long but I was able to get to work on the cover!)

By all appearances, Jeff and Samantha Trotman are living the American Dream. But behind the white picket fence, they endure an American Nightmare. With little time for each other, a pile of debt, and Ferrari taste on a Ford budget, the ruse of affluence is killing them. Two respectable jobs and a lovely suburban house paint a pretty picture, but behind the ink is a broken marriage rife with meaningless work and dead dreams. And now, with an unplanned pregnancy, they’re facing a mid-life crisis twenty years early.

With little time and looming bankruptcy, the Trotmans are forced to face the red-pill truth they long denied: They were living, but they weren’t alive. Determined to resurrect their life and their marriage, the Trotmans plot a rat-race escape—only to find themselves more thickly in it.

As tensions rise and hope fades, follow along step-by-step as the Trotmans pivot to a new strategy and a new career: starting a business as entrepreneurs.

While they navigate their journey, you’ll learn 120 wealth-building strategies and principles that your mainstream financial guru won’t dare reveal—actionable concepts that will help you profit your way into the Unscripted 1%, an emerging economic class of entrepreneurs who enjoy a lifetime of freedom emancipated from miserly living and Wall Street's "save, pray, and wait" paradigm. Discover how one family escapes the rat-race grind and wins a lifetime of financial freedom, leaving behind the tyranny of meaningless jobs and mediocre living— and how you can too.

• The Bad Math Principle: Why most people will never escape the rat-race, much less earn financial freedom.
• The 1/5/10 Strategy: How this one simple exercise will unearth your ultimate dream life while establishing a decision framework for its reality
• The Honeypot Principle: Why the financial media's "invest a $100/mo for 40 years in indexed-funds" narrative is part of the same rat-race scheme, just a different side of the same rigged coin.
• The Dual Change Strategy: The two divergent sides of change and how it can make you a fortune.
• The Value Skew Strategy: How to find literally 1000s of business ideas and why you never need to "disrupt" or invent anything new or novel.
• The Millionaire Payday Strategy: How to spot opportunities to hire yourself and earn an instant millionaire-making income.
• The Cinderella Principle: Why starting a business based on a cultural trend or a fad is a horrible idea.
• The Perseverance Strategy: Never struggle with motivation again; the four necessary ingredients to tap into unlimited motivation and determination, regardless of the obstacles in your way.
• The Triangulated Value Strategy: Learn how to never quit three-feet from gold: The 3-pronged strategy in maximizing marketing yields while also illuminating the "quit or continue" decision.
• and over 110+ more!

Don’t let the rat-race and its co-conspirators proclaim your life as non-essential. Don’t let the rat-race entice you to save your life away for the promise of an elderly retirement. Don’t let the rat-race lull you into a tedious existence medicated by television, video games, and trivial sporting events.

Go Unscripted , escape the rat-race, and win your happily-ever-after.

Loved this book. The 1st opened my eyes, but this 3rd edition really gave me some more thoughts about how to achieve it.

 

[kotvič]

I have read the book and for some reason I feel like the concept sticked with me the most from all of the books. Anyone else feels same way?

 

[Presidentkim]

Greetings from Russia, dear MJ!
I've finished The Rat Race in 5 days. First I accidentally found The Millionaire Fastlane in Russian. And swallowed it in two days.
The Rat Race is my first book I’ve read in full in English with Longman dictionary. My English is not so bad, but I was always lazy to read English and read only translated books.
The Rat Race really helps.
My microbusiness is focused on producing flannelboards and educational games on velcro for children. Thanks to the CENTS, I realized that this project is not scalable. So I drop sales and don't order a 20,000-dollar PR campaign. You helped me save a lot of money. Thank you for that.
And thank you for your books from the heart!
In September, I am launching a new project as the training's author.

• The Honeypot Principle: Why the financial media's "invest a $100/mo for 40 years in indexed-funds" narrative is part of the same rat-race scheme, just a different side of the same rigged coin.
• The Dual Change Strategy: The two divergent sides of change and how it can make you a fortune.
• The Value Skew Strategy: How to find literally 1000s of business ideas and why you never need to "disrupt" or invent anything new or novel.

Don’t let the rat-race and its co-conspirators proclaim your life as non-essential. Don’t let the rat-race entice you to save your life away for the promise of an elderly retirement. Don’t let the rat-race lull you into a tedious existence medicated by television, video games, and trivial sporting events.

I think its a masterpiece.

##### SUMMARY

UNSCRIPTED - The Great Rat Race Escape : From Wage Slavery to Wealth, How to Start a Purpose Driven Business and Win Financial Freedom for a Lifetime
(Yes, really long but I was able to get to work on the cover!)

By all appearances, Jeff and Samantha Trotman are living the American Dream. But behind the white picket fence, they endure an American Nightmare. With little time for each other, a pile of debt, and Ferrari taste on a Ford budget, the ruse of affluence is killing them. Two respectable jobs and a lovely suburban house paint a pretty picture, but behind the ink is a broken marriage rife with meaningless work and dead dreams. And now, with an unplanned pregnancy, they’re facing a mid-life crisis twenty years early.

With little time and looming bankruptcy, the Trotmans are forced to face the red-pill truth they long denied: They were living, but they weren’t alive. Determined to resurrect their life and their marriage, the Trotmans plot a rat-race escape—only to find themselves more thickly in it.

As tensions rise and hope fades, follow along step-by-step as the Trotmans pivot to a new strategy and a new career: starting a business as entrepreneurs.

While they navigate their journey, you’ll learn 120 wealth-building strategies and principles that your mainstream financial guru won’t dare reveal—actionable concepts that will help you profit your way into the Unscripted 1%, an emerging economic class of entrepreneurs who enjoy a lifetime of freedom emancipated from miserly living and Wall Street's "save, pray, and wait" paradigm.

Finished the book the other day. MJ's best so far in my opinion. Even bought it for an entrepreneur friend of mine.

Read the other two books a couple of years ago, and finished listening to TGRRE just now.

I think the fictional parts only added to the book. Great choice, it adds relatability to the fastlane theory sections. Helps with retention 'n stuff.
