I've finally read this great mind changing book. I definitely will be a producer and not a consumer. Now I need to find a proper way to learn all of the financial concepts.
MJ,
Thanks for the good non BS book and keeping things relevant.

I read the book, finished several months ago but forgot to post. Very fun and interesting read. I've seen books with a crapton of fluff and a lot less educational for a lot more monies. A great ready for many people :)

Loved the part about the decision matrix, still use it!

I am still reading and joined forum at chapter 3! Loved the whole concept when listening to podcast with Pat Flynn. I definitely would not have purchased beforehand. (Title) so glad I did. Great road changer in life no matter what age! I have 3 sons they are all going to get a copy. I thought I was crazy with my thinking but this book made me realise I am not. Thanks MJ. I am behind you in my car!

Hi MJ,

I had read the book now.
Many thanks for your wisdom, insight and vision you provided in the book, through this forum, and youtube clips.

I am grateful to you for saving me and my family from spending the rest of my life in a mediocre way.

The dreams and enthusiasm which were died earlier (while spending the mediocre life) are now revived and revitalized (after reading your book).

I had now got a purpose to live and enjoy life.
Suddenly all the challenges now look like opportunities.

I failed in business earlier and had lost the hope to ever do a business again and became successful in it.

Your guidance has transformed me and I feel like having a rebirth, new incarnation.

Now there is no fear of failure and competition.

Looking forward to help others, make their life easier in some way and in turn find some happiness, solace and financial independence.

Best Regards,

Raj

I just finished the book and thought it was great! Finally a book that doesn't tell me to get rich by saving every penny in my 401K and not drinking a a cup of coffee in the morning if I have to pay for it!

Somewhere in Ontario
bought the book on iBooks, Love it, and I am going to re read it and take notes and start implementing.

Best book on the subject. Double Dad, had some great ideas in his books but got really turned off when I learned that he wanted me to

"Do as I say not as I do"

look forward to my stay here.

Read the book. Twice.

Great book. No sugar coating nonsense here. A lot of "experts" like to spew regurgitated slop and pass it off as the road to wealth. MJ lays it out like nothing I have seen before. It all makes sense now.

Grab your copy today and get off the sidewalk, quit dawdling in the slow lane and scream into the fast lane!

First I read the Kindle-edition but decided I needed a physical version too;) Just received it a couple of days ago, and finished reading it once again. My all time favorite book and I can't recommend it highly enough!

I've read the book 2 times and actually purchased it back in August 2011 along with some other books on "becoming rich". I gotta admit that I was on the slowlane at first but once I started doing everything slowlane, I sensed that something was wrong and that I couldn't live like that, so I went back to Amazon and luckily I found this book. I actually purchased it with another slowlane book but to this day haven't read past the first chapter once I noticed it was another slow lane guru speaking.

I've decided to go fastlane with a clothing company, I will post more on that in the forum in the coming months.

Thanks again MJ for changing my initial programming.

Ha Ha, which Slowlane guru are you talking about? BTW, I think D. Ramsey's strategies are solid for both Slowlane and Fastlane. You should always live below your means, and be free of consumer debt. Thanks for the feedback Joel.

The Guru, I speak of is Ramit Sethi, he wrote "I Will Teach You To Be Rich". Reading the intro he mentioned about saving $100 a month for 10 years and once im 65 it would be worth 200k, Once I read that I said wait a minute this is the exact stuff I'm trying to get away from, So to make a long story short, I started reading your book immediately.

I agree about D. Ramsey's strategies but once I had implemented them I needed more I needed Fastlane.

thanks MJ,

Joel

I read the book in March of 2011, and reread many portions of it in late 2011.

I am currently working on a affiliate marketing website, but I have been searching for/brainstorming ideas for a membership site (subscription model, per MJ's book), and recently one was suggested to me. As soon as I am done launching my affiliate site, I am going to start working on my membership site.

Thank you so much MJ for making it clear and easy to understand what is the best path to making a lot of money with an approach that scales!

I am here for this reason too. I did the baby steps and I am better off than the majority, but I need more. Step 7 is what MJ calls the slowlane, and it really is time consuming for me. I want my monetary wealth to give me financial independence, which to me means having full control of my 168 hour weeks. I actually don't want a Lambo, but I'd love to rent one to get to my destination, and I don't mean that literally.

So i have recently finished the book, and I'm extremely happy i picked it up as it re-enforces pretty much everything i had initially thought, as well as some things i had overlooked or not thought of yet. In essence a fantastic book which should be common sense to ALL business owners.

PS. MJ
just a small thing i noticed on the forum that might be a nice polishing touch. the "I've read the millionaire fastlane " avatar status notification still has the OLD book cover on ... and thought it may be a nice touch if owners of the book with THAT cover got, and anyone who has read the book past 'x' date gets the status with the new cover ;) alternatively you may just want to swap the image with the new cover to avoid any potential confusion from new users :)

Read the book and have highlighted it into oblivion. Currently in the final phases of creating an inventory web app and will hopefully have a success story (or the beginnings) to tell very soon.

Hey MJ, read the book a long time ago but haven't been around that much.

Thanks man, hope all is well out there in the beautiful mountain air! Had some FroYo with Kenric and Mike M. back in November.
