Please make a Spanish version.

That would require a Spanish publisher. I've had offers for translation, but from entrepreneurs, not publishers. To be honest, I'm not interested in having a entrepreneurial newbie do it -- I've learned my lesson there.

I see. Well I guess when I gift your book I'll give a "Learn English" book too :)

Just finished on Valentines Day. I actually had the audiobook but I bought the ebook today so I can reference specific sections moving forward.

Read this book a long time ago! I finished it in a day. I'm probably going to re-read it again to have it refresh my mind. Thanks MJ!

The most practical self help financial book I have ever read. All other financial books I've read have been wishy-washy and non specific. By far the best

I just finished TMF on Audible, this book, to me reinforced everything that I have felt since I was a high schooler many years ago. How in the hell am I going to get rich clipping coupons, paying 10% to my 401k (or whatever you're supposed to do) and working 9-5 Monday thru Friday, It never made any sense to me.

This book also exposed me and made me look at myself in the mirror - I've been lazy and content, making good money in real estate has made me lazy and content and it makes me sick to come to this realization.

I needed this book and I almost didn't buy it.

Thank you MJ for making me take a look in the mirror, thank you for making me realize that I've been a lazy a$$ POS and thank you for making me think outside the box so that I can give up the good money for the great money and create so I can affect the millions so I can make millions.

I'm re-reading THE BOOK. In the past few years I went from an unaware sidewaker to getting my shit together to now being in the process of launching a new business. It has been a slow progress at times but ever since I first read those lines I never saw work, business, life and freedom with the same eyes again.

Thank you MJ :clap:::clap:::clap::

Read the whole book in one sitting. Gave it to like minded friends and re-read it when I feel I am losing sight. It's my bible.

Half way through the book for a second time - I realize I've let the gravitational pull of my job start sucking me back in.... might be time for another round of massive action....

Finished listening to the book. What a rant! And I mean that in a good way. I've had those discussions with so many people I've given up trying to convince people and put the energy into executing on my own goals. It was very therapeutic to listen to and motivating. Thanks @MJ DeMarco. When people are genuinely interested in changing their position, I can just give them the book as you cover it all so well.

As I was reading the first chapters, I kept laughing about the descriptions of Sidewalkers, and thought about how many of them I knew....Then I started reading about Slowlaners and in the first two pages you described my characteristics to perfection. My jaw dropped (I also dropped the book), looked over at my wife and exclaimed "OMG - this guy just destroyed my entire philosophy and what I was taught -- this is awesome".
