I listened to the audio-book. It really brings the message alive to hear it in MJ DeMarco's own voice.

Hi MJ,

I went to the TMF Amazon page to buy a copy for a prospective client and caught a few typos, including this:

About the Author
{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\cocoartf1561\cocoasubrtf600 {\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset0 ArialMT;} {\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;\red14\green14\blue14;\red255\green255\blue255;} {\*\expandedcolortbl;;\cssrgb\c6667\c6667\c6667;\cssrgb\c100000\c100000\c100000;} \margl1440\margr1440\vieww10800\viewh8400\viewkind0 \deftab720 \pard\pardeftab720\sl300\partightenfactor0 \f0\fs26 \cf2 \cb3 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 \ MJ DeMarco is a semi-retired entrepreneur, investor, advisor, and international best-selling author who's books have been translated in over 15 languages worldwide. He is the current founder of Viperion Publishing Corp., a media company focused on online and print content distribution. He also is admin/founder for The Fastlane Forum, the web's leading destination forum for start-up, finance, and entrepreneurial business discussions. \ \ Prior to embarking into the world of writing and authorship, he was the former start-up Founder/CEO of Limos.com (1997-2007), a global ground transportation aggregator and marketplace that he successfully built and grew into a profitable multi-million dollar company, all with no money, no formal training, and with just a few employees. In 2001, he sold the company in an exit event but later reacquired the company via bankruptcy reorganization. He later sold the company again in 2007 to a Phoenix-based private equity company.\ \ By refusing to accept society's default template for mediocrity (THE SCRIPT: jobs, 401(k)s, frugality, give your life savings to Wall-Street) MJ was able to retire young in his thirties without sacrificing the good life. Yes, that means he isn't playing Wall-Street's "hope, wait, and pray" game where you nervously invest all your savings with Wall Street, all while commiserating over the Starbucks you couldn't drink because saving $4.12 was more important. (Do people seriously believe this stuff?) \ \ Currently, MJ owns a publishing company which produces, distributes, and licenses his work around the world while contributing daily to TheFastlaneForum.com: an entrepreneurial community featuring nearly 50,000 entrepreneurs. He lives in Scottsdale Arizona and enjoys road trips, softball, travel, fitness and nutrition, working out, and recklessly exploring the Sonoran desert on his UTV.\ }

A few quotation marks need to be cleaned up as well.

Knowing what your book is about, and getting the message that the quest for perfection can be a trap, I don't have a problem with the smattering of typos on your Amazon listing for TMF . But someone entirely unfamiliar with your standards as an author might be hesitant to buy.

Let me know if you ever need an extra pair of eyes.

I absolutely agree. He has a great voice and narration that keeps the listener locked in.
"Unscripted " is read beautifully, but I missed the voice of rarity and raw truth.

@MJ DeMarco

Sorry if this was mentioned somewhere.

I just happened to look at my profile and it seems like I lost my badges for reading TMF and Unscripted . Are they able to be retagged? Thanks!

It's a problem I've been working on since the upgrade. They will return (eventually) hopefully within the week.

Hi MJ,
I read the book. No, I read ALL the books. Millionaire Fastlane AND Unscripted . And it changed my life.

And now I am recommending it to all my friends.

As a Blogger I made a blogpost about it here (in German):


The Title is: 10 Books you should read before your 30th birthday.

Thank you MJ for your work.

Best regards from Germany.

PS
I am now making 10K per month from my Content Business (selling Online Courses and books). Thanks to you.

Read it and enjoyed it very much. Wish I had read it sooner.

I've started my own business on the side and was always wondering if I was doing the right thing. The book confirmed much of my beliefs and helped guide me in other areas. I believe what I'm doing is mathematically possible to achieve success and am hitting on all CENTS commandments.

Thanks MJ for sharing what you've learned.

I've read The Millionaire Fastlane several years back!

It was a really great book packed with a lot of solid information and without much fluff. This was actually the first book that I decided to read after a long time of not reading anything and I'm super glad I picked this book. It completely changed my mindset, desires and life goals.

I finished the MFL and immediately bought Unscripted , have 70 pages left. Never had anything make me re-evaluate everything in my life like these 2 books have.

I’m already eternally grateful for these books and this forum and haven’t even started anything yet (although I am already doing marketing for a few clients; thinking it’s time to incorporate, outsource my daily workload, and scale this sucker!)

This book had a huge impact on me. I’ve been working online for 12 years and MFL helped refocus me on working on the parts of my biz that generate the most money. Thanks MJ!

Not only have I read The Millionaire Fastlane , but I've reread - ok relistened - to it at least a half dozen times since joining the forum. Whenever I start to drift off course it's either TMF or UNSCRIPTED on audible to help me get back on track.

Just joined the forum and have pretty much finished TMF on audio.
Definitely a fresh look for me on the entrepreneurship world in comparison to many other books I've worked through. Or maybe it just struck a chord with me.
Either way I'll be getting Unscripted next.

I've read TMF!

Overall, it was a very helpful book. The way I see it, the book contains what everyone on the fast lane already knows but no one (or very few) were willing to tell others about it. Thanks MJ for taking the time to teach!

Read the book, and am now taking up the responsibility to go farther in the fastlane with a growth mindset fuelled by adding exceptional value to the customers.
