I've read the book and I live in a small country in Africa. Had to order it from the States after finding this forum online. It took weeks and many trips to the post office before I had my own copy in my hands. Read the whole book in one night and re-read it in depth more times than I can remember. They say you can really know a person by the books on their bedside table, this is one that never moves from there! Thanks MJ for sharing your story and inspiring us to do what's necessary to break out of the sidewalk / slowlane and join the Fastlane!

I wonder whether I can get a hard copy book personally signed by Mr Mj himself

Absolutely. Just request it when you order (you have to order from Viperion however, as I don't fill orders at Amazon.)

I have read it twice now. Sent a link to the kindle edition to my brother. I love this book. I will read it again and again until I:
1) Die
2) Own a fastlane business

Thanks MJ!

I read the book! I recommend it a lot to others - anyone who will listen. I've also watched the videos over and over, and am going to listen to the CD version of the book just to make sure I 'got it' to override my previous programming:smxB:

What videos???

I bought the Kindle version of the book a couple of days ago and just finished it. Excellent read, MJ. One of the most practical business books ever. Well done, and thanks. Now to work on my escape route via the Fastlane...

Hi MJ,

many thanks for your book! I read it a year ago and it changed my way of thinking about business.

I am not American and frankly, from my point of view the greatest advantage of the books comes for me from the realistic, non hurra-optimistic attitude so common for other American authors;)

Thanks for real and true insights MJ!

I look forward to next arts of you.

Take care,
Marcin

Great book. Articulates some of the principles better than I have been able to express it before.

If there is a new edition would suggest expanding the Freedom-Time element. Mentally I use the trinity : (Money + ( Time ) + Energy )

I got the book after stumbling onto this forum. Read it in a day. Can't think of any other book on the subject on finance or business that cut through all the BS and is more practical than this.

Finished the book today. What to say, simply the best book about getting rich I've read by far.
Really liked the no bullshit approach, just facts.
Thank you MJ DeMarco for making me think big.

I found this forum about 2 weeks ago and have since read the book, it's really changed my perspective on what being a successful entrepreneur is. A month ago I would of been fine with making little as long as I was self employed but now I really want to aim higher. To put it simply when I was little I used to tell everyone I was going to be a millionaire when I got older, for some reason I stopped. Recently I've started doing it again.

I read the book MJ.
Really enjoyed the way you presented the information and the conversational format. Amazing insight and love the examples. However, it is also a lot of information to digest. One suggestion I would make is to add another appendix with a couple templates such as WADM, CENTS list (as a checklist), and maybe the 5 fastlane seedlings. I would have found it useful. I will be making my own list regardless to help me as I analyze my ideas.
Thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge and journey, it is an inspiration to me to seek my own fastlane.

Hey MJ,

I've read the book! I've read it from cover to cover and certain chapters half a dozen times. To say it got some wheels turning would be an understatement! My copy sits next to my bed with bookmarks and sticky notes :D

Read, Re-read, made notes on and am taking action (within less than 24 hours to be precise.)

Thank you MJ.

Same deal here. Read the book a while ago but forgot about the forum until I started looking for an entrepreneurial forum to join.

I TMF a few years ago. I have a job where I basically have nothing to do but sit around and read for 6-8 hours a night. After reading the book i sold it so I could buy another book(most books I read get sold). I'm at a better place financially so I repurchased the book to be a part of my permanent library. I've loaned it to my cousin & have told a couple of friends that they should read the book.
