Been a week since I've read the book, and I really enjoyed it. The significance of process cannot be stressed enough! If you control anything it is your effort. Thanks for the great book.

Read the book, enjoyed it -- it's a great motivational tool and if 1% of readers would change their mindsets to Fastlane, then the author succeeded in terms of having great impact on humankind.

But I bet many people are disappointed after turning last page, because devil is in the details. Execution is really hard when it comes to actually doing it (but you already know that). So I treat this book more like an overview than a handbook. The forums, I think, can be a better source of those details (zen******* posts, for example). On the other hand, if someone still doesn't know what to do next (i.e. learning about execution by experiencing it in real life), then one is probably born not to be entrepreneur.

PS. The cover is rather repelling IMHO.

I just finished the book, and it really was a game changer for me. I now know that "get rich quick" is possible if you go about it the right way. Thank you, MJ. :)

I read the book quite a while ago. Never posted much, but trying to change that now. Thanks for writing it and showing me the light. Things haven't been the same since. What a difference a couple of books and time can have on you!

Bought the ebook through Amazon yesterday and read the entire thing last night via the Kindle phone app during a 12 hour overnight shift at my terrible job-the only good point of which is that I have a lot of unsupervised downtime....:rolleyes:

Tons of great insights and what I call RealTalk- meaning a description of reality as it actually is without the feel good pablum that most people insist on swallowing.

The core of the book is the CENTS concept- an analytical tool which in most cases is going to tell you quickly whether an opportunity you are considering is worth pursing as a path to financial freedom. Most people spend their lives running as fast as they can without realizing until it's too late that they are running on the wrong road, one that leads into a swamp that they eventually can't escape from. CENTS helps you choose one of the roads that leads upward along the rideglines so that, even if you stumble and fall occasionally or get lost sometimes, at least you know you are in a generally ascending trajectory and have ever improving odds of reaching the heights.

Thanks MJ, I look forward to participating the forum.

I've read it! It has to be the most no-nonsense actionable book I've read on the subject. Thank you for putting in the hard work, not just to go fastlane for yourself, but for all of us.

TMF is the best entrepreneurial/business book I have ever read. The tone of the book is so honest that you can't but help go fastlane and have the right mindset to achieve wealth and providing value to others.

I read the book a while ago and review it regularly. I've read tons of entrepreneur/business books by other others, but TMF really hit home. Really enjoyed it and it definitely goes down as one of my favourite entrepreneur/business books of all time. Beautiful work, MJ.

This book was seriously amazing ! Although i am only 18 years old, i have already struggled very much with my financial situation and i started to accept it like my destiny. But after reading this book, it gave me a lot of motivation do continue pushing forward. I am a new member here and i will be doing soon my introduction thread and also a business thread. Thank you very much MJ ! :)

Have read the book for the second time! Have a more deeper understanding the second time around. An outstanding book!

I'm also beginning to read it a second time. This time with a pad and pen for notes.

Read this and will read it again as it's one of those that takes multiple readings to really get it. I'm very glad I grabbed this and will get the audiobook as well.

I read the book over Christmas. Now I'm reading one of the other books recommended in it, as well as starting to go over posts in this forum.

MJ, thanks for opening me up to a different perspective on life. I was being conditioned to live a life of servitude and being trained to accept it as the only option. Forget that. I lived and ran an ebay store out of my car for a bit and that's when I came across your book and I couldn't have asked for better timing. Now it's time for me to be a frontrunner, open new doors, and leave them cracked for the entrepreneurs behind me. You are the man.

Thanks MJ for a brilliant book, how you were able to articulate everything is amazing! It helped explain many principles I half arsed knew were true. The biggest distraction for me was buying the kindle version and seeing the link to this forum ... I've just now ordered the paperback and time to get fired up!
