Read the book, re-reading chapters to see if I missed anything or if I can gain new insight I might have missed the first time. Knew that I was always driving on the slowlane, and still am, but am determined to get onto the fastlane asap. Good luck to everyone here on achieving their goals and thank you so much for the book.

hey everyone -

MJ, thank you.

like I mentioned in my intro thread this is just what I need at this point in my life.

I just finished your book today and Im ready to get to work.

My next step is to clarify my dream lifestyle and price it out.

I already have in mind a book that will fill a need and allow me to fastlane my current business.

thanks again I will keep you posted!

Just finished, and am feeling very grateful for a kick in the pants just when I needed it! My husband and I started a business 10 years ago, and have built it to a comfortably successful level...perhaps too comfortable, as I had started to forget the long term goal of passive income.

Going to explore the forum, see what I can learn from other business owners and keep taking it to the next level.
Thanks!

Just read the book. It is absolutely amazing. I heard about MJ on a recent podcast he did with Pat Flynn, agreed with what MJ said, bought the book and now I am here. I am looking forward to getting to know you folks better. Please bare with me as I am learning the ropes here. I understand there are a lot of experts in here and I believe this place is a wealth of information.

Hello everyone,

Finished reading TMF

MJ your book is exactly what I needed at this point of my life. Ive read other books and I feel that those books were ok and have better prepared me for your book. Ive read books that have helped me become more creative and I have a few Ideas that I want to act upon.

I had been looking for advice and examples of execution from some one who has actually done it.

Thanks

Haven't finished the book yet...a major idea has been kickin' around in my head for almost a year (leaving bruises on my weaker brain)...I finally recognized it, as a major opportunity, due to this book (loved my Kindle sample... since I might have passed on it sitting on the shelf). Finishing the book will never happen, because I'll just re-read it and this forum for additional insight. Thanks, MJ!

Read the book, amazing. I was motivated before I read it, now i´m shaking all over because I just want to GET GOING.
I have my final exam on wednesday before summer vacation, but instead of reading up on the subject, I read the Fastlane Millionaire. Hahaha. It´s all good though, I got the class material under control.

Looking froward to getting to know some fantastic people in here, and hopefully contribute with something myself

Will do a review tommorow and suggest to my bookclub as well

Really good book

Your book is fresh and honest and so full of valuable wisdom that I couldn't put my highlighter down.

Great read and finally a good book on business that is not trying to upsell some random services...

Hey, I've read the book, thanks a lot for writing it, I've learned a lot from it and still learning a lot from the community you have created here, thanks alot!

thank you so much for the book.

Hi MJ,

I've read the book, and I must say, it is one of the few straight-talking, practical (in terms of principles) book out in the get-rich genre. (Another one is Felix Dennis' "How to Get Rich", which is also quite good as well :))

Thanks for sitting down and putting in the hard work to get this book out, I'm sure you've impacted (and will continue impacting) tonnes of people, many more than you probably thought possible :).

Cheers,
From Singapore.

Thank you for this book MJ! I read it all at once after a glowing recommendation from a friend and love the straightforward approach you share.

I'm also finding it a great resource to go back to and reread, because it really hammers home what to do and what not to do and WHY.

It's such a gift to be able to understand why previous attempts didn't work and what to do to make my current and future attempts pan out more successfully. :)

Best business book I've read in the last 5 years. The concepts in this book are true but so against what people have come to believe is "normal" that this is this book's biggest hurdle. So glad i stumbled upon it.

Read the book! Love the point of focusing on societal needs rather than my own. Also love the idea of scale and magnitude! I have been trying to listen to my surroundings for issues/problems that need to be solved and I have come up with various ideas. But the my problem is I'm not sure which one to put all my efforts into. How do you know when its time to give this one your all? Or simply know which is idea is better?

Ordered the book a couple weeks ago and have read it more in depth than any other piece of literature I've ever picked up. I'm a self-taught web-developer and designer, and this was the fire that I needed lit under my a$$. I started seeing numbers before I even finished the book, just because it gave me the "go" I needed. Thanks a $million$!

Thanks MJ, i found your book at the right time of my life (and my mindset) to make a switch from a medium/slow speed (8 employees, about 15 hours per week in the office...) to the all out fast lane! And the book gives very clear directions how!

I just finished reading the book today. This book has re-energized my thought processes that I thought were gone for good after working a 9 - 5 for 15 years. Everything I look at now my mind perceives as a possible business opportunity. I will be reading the book again while I hone my ideas that I have had locked away for years and get them ready for launch. I will be visiting this forum quite often. Thanks.

Very inspiring and I cant wait to get input on some of my ideas from proven fastlaners

I have finished reading the millionaire fastlane and used the CENTS commandments to assess my business here: https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/introductions-networking/32449-cheers-brazil.html

I would like to thank MJ DeMarco for this life changing book. It has not only the maps that one can rely on to know where to go and where he will end up if he doesn´t change the course of his life but also contains the mindset necessary to choose the right path and keep the reader on it until he reaches the final destination.

Thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart.

I have read the book!!...reading it a second time now. This book has literally changed my life and my way of thinking. Once I started reading there was no putting it down! This book does not compare to any book I have ever read, it is so incredible! Since I have found this book and forum, I have been preaching the fastlane to anyone who will listen. I am so glad to have stubled upon this website. MJ you are the best, my life will never be the same!!

Should be a few more copies sold, I've told several people people to buy it. I'm a guy who reads a book a week, and rarely recommend one to anybody else. Very awesome!!!
