Hi MJ. I read your book a few months ago. when i turned 20 and we had to consider job opportunities at uni, I pretty much had the fast lane principles/mindset. it made zero sense to get a 'good job' and land a 'career'. However, upon speaking to people, i thought i was simply being crazy.

When i read your book, i couldn't help but smile after each page. turns out im not crazy after all, everyone else is!

Now that there are tens of thousands of copies out there in the wild, multiple language translations, etc. this is the thread to let me know that you've read The Millionaire Fastlane .



If you read the book, post here and you will get an icon under your screenname and additional forum privileges. (Private forum, more PM storage, etc.)

Feel free to post your comments about the book as well!

Thanks, MJ


I have read the book in full now I am going to go back and devour it again more slowly while using the ideas to develop a real world business at the same time.

I recently chose to quit my dead end job and become homeless. I was excited, because it was an adventure and forced me to live on nothing. I figured if I could make it with nothing, I could build myself up without having to worry about money ever again. It was hard, but there was freedom from the soul suck of working to merely survive. Why work 40 hours for someone else when all it bought me was food and shelter, when a sleeping bag and the dumpster behind the grocery store could do it for 0 hours?

Then I read The Millionaire Fastlane and realized that by doing what I did, I was already half way to the millions. I broke from the last remaining chains to hold me back, those chains of worry and doubt and "how will I survive?" MJ's book was an affirmation of the path I had chosen and inspiration to couple my hard won freedom with the freedom that comes from wealth.

I have roughly $2500 in savings that I haven't touched while being homeless. I'm now planning to rent a small office for around $200-250 a month and basically work and live in it while I dedicate myself to creating a passive wealth system. I do have experience with domaining, web development, SEO and marketing, so I'm going to use this knowledge to build my system.

Thank you MJ for your book. It found me at a moment when some encouragement was most needed!

Reading it for the second time now which I would highly recommend doing for those who read it more than a year ago. I am getting entirely new insights out of it based on new experiences. It's on my read again and again list.

Looks like a "must read" based on all the comments here. How does this book compare to Rich Dad, Poor Dad? Much of the same, or different perspectives?

Read the book last year. Completely changed the way I perceive things.

Read it.
Rereading it. Benefiting from it even though I've been doing a lot of it for years (have not worked for the man in a looong time, my income has not been tied to direct hours since I started out)

Going to buy some copies for family and friends.

Hey MJ! Got the book a few months ago and something sidetracked me. So I started it about 3 days ago and just finished it last night! That's speed reading for me. I'm now recommending to friends and others that I feel will benefit. This book is truly amazing. Especially when reality kicks in when I read the Sidewalk and Slowlane descriptions.

Greetings,
Just finished reading the book, which was eye opening by the way. I am new to the forum, and excited about meeting like minded, and successful people.
I run my own supplement business for many years, and after reading the book, realized I have been doing things all wrong. I have been pursuing passion and not profit, looking to reverse that paradigm. Thanks MJ for the valuable insight into the way to explode my income. I have already recommended the book to 5 of my friends.

Hey MJ I recently finished the book, and it was truly a slap to the face and woke me right up! Still in high school, this book really has made me see life in a completely different angle.

I read the book almost with no break, being glued 2 days (!) to the sofa. (The anti-couch-patatoe-sofa therapy.)
It is the best book I have read in the last 20 years for sure. It also just confirmed that the site I just
started is going to be the correct decision as it fits all the criteria that you listed in your book.

This will be of further great influence for my life and your book just showed up at an important turn point
in my life. Thanks so much for the book. Now, "let's do it"!

Finished reading the book a while back. It's definitely the best book I've read so far. I have read a lot of business and professional related books, nothing beats this one. Such an eye opener! You can be filthy rich right now, but if you take note of the things written in this book, it'll honestly make you richer.
