Read the book finally (didn't finish in one go).
So far one of the top non-fiction books I've read so far.

It made a lot of things obvious to me, number #1 being:
I'm on a journey and my personal journey starts with a huge mindset shift.


Credits to MJ for being brutally honest. You touch a lot of lives on a great magnitude ;)

I read The Millionaire Fastlane years ago on my Kindle, and I've re-read it since then. It made a big impression on me previously, obviously, since I've been a member of the forum for a while.

Recently, my husband has begun to express interest in leaving the rat race, and I ordered a physical copy for him (he doesn't really like the e-books). Since it's lying around, I've picked it up and have begun re-reading certain chapters. And let me just say that this is the best business/finance book that I've ever read and re-read and re-read.

Seriously amazing book. And I'm happy to have a "real" copy of it to put my hands on. I wish I had gotten one earlier. It's like a little bible! Lol.

Anyway, just wanted to say thanks to MJ for this really great book that has some timeless advice. If you haven't read it already - READ IT!

I've read the book twice and I'm reading it for the third time now taking notes all along. I've read many books on the subject and it is by far my favourite.

This book had a huge impact on my motivation. I'll offer a copy to my kids when it's time for them to read it.

Thank you MJ !

Ben

Hi MJ,


Thank you for writing a book that really aims at helping people and providing value.


Your book was so compelling that I read it in a few days. And I have already recommended it around me.


More specifically, thank you for helping me open my eyes:

It's hard to describe the feeling: while reading the first chapters, I would tell myself "And...another slap in my face!" every time you would shed the light on one of those limiting beliefs that have kept me on the wrong side of the road most of my life.

I say "slap in the face", but it's a good slap, a "Wake up!" slap.


And thanks a lot for sharing your precious business insights in the second part of your book:

The road to independence promises to be hard and risky. But now I feel that I have a better chance of being successful at it, thanks to your insights.


(By the way, I also just read your article "11 poverty traps”: funny reminders and again "in your face" writing style! Just great! I have put it as my homepage to remind me of the changes I need to make and the direction I must keep.)


Cheers,


Olivier

Read the book about a year ago, as well as about 3 months ago. Nothing has come even kind of close to having such a significant impact on my mindset as The Millionaire Fastlane has. Thanks MJ, even though words can't do justice. About time I got around to posting on this thread.

Dear MJ,

What an excellent read!

I was actually noodeling around in the Kindle shop to find myself some adventure/fantasy/romance story to read for the WE. But I got stuck with the 'Fastlane' in combination with 'Millionaire' and thought to myself, why not read another of those magic money making books, could be fun to pass the lazy days in the sun.

Lol, was I surprised to get a few inconvenient punches in the face and find like a workbook :D Now it's one WE later and I'm starting to move around on this forum and to cut out pictures of things that Im passionate about. This 5 for 2 trade is really silly I have to admit. Let's see if I can do something about it.

Best,
Christine

I read the book about a month ago. It confirmed some feelings I've been wrestling with for years. For example, I can't stand trading 5 days for 2. I've brought this up to my wife many times but she doesn't get it because she loves her job and never wants to retire from it. I've even brought it up to my co-workers and they don't give it a second thought... that's just the way things work. Finally, I feel like my feelings have been validated. Thanks, MJ.

I've tried "businesses" several times, each with limited success. Now I know why. I was chasing money instead of finding a real need that needed to be be met and provide that service. My next attempt will be different.

There are MANY things in this book that I wish I knew when I was 20 years old. I initially read the book on my Kindle, but purchased a second copy to pass around to my 16, 23 and 26 year old kids. It has lead to some interesting discussions and now they've at least been exposed to the possibility of living life on their terms instead of someone else's.

@ the middle of the book.

This book really does change the way you think, see and DO things.

The so-called "gurus" really irritate me with their bullshit they don't even follow themselves (or follow but get majority of their money from people they brainwash). Thank you so much for clearing my sight.

Education system is F*cked and often teaches nothing about money but directs to and adores the Slowlane Roadmap.

MJ, you are a lifesaver and changer (even if you are ~9000 km/5600 miles away from me).

As you said, your point with this book is not to make friends. Well, you're not my friend, but my God!

I happened to come upon this book when someone mentioned it on a real estate forum that I'm on (about 3 weeks ago). I read the book a couple weeks ago, and it has had a big impact on me.

I don't know if this just hit me at the right time in life or what, but it exploded the ideas that have been planted in my head over the years. It's only been a week or two so it hasn't transformed my life (yet) but it has definitely changed the way I'm thinking about things and there is no going back now.

Thanks for taking the time to write it, MJ.

Read it three times now, skimmed it a dozen times.

I think I bought the wrong book, it hasn't helped me drive my car any faster at all.

I read the book. It took me a while to go through it all, I studied every page. I recommend this to all my like minded friends. I would say my #1 book on entrepreneurship, and business. Thank you so much
