Thanks MJ for this awesome book!

I more and more felt that something was not right. The prospected outcome of my life - though I would consider myself one of the lucky ones who will have enough to live on when retirement comes - just wouldn't feel desireable. So I went on a journey to find wisdom by those who live a better life and tell about it on youtube. And although many teachings seemed to be right, like investing after the first rule or by going into real estates. But when I dived in and wanted to do whats being told, their numbers always showed, that the money they were making didn't came from these steps that I should do.

And then some day on the hunt for another book to find freedom I stumbled upon this jewel: TMF - The Millionaire Fastlane ! And although the book teaches not to focus on the "I", it remembered me of some insights I have almost forgotten: I always have a choice, I can make a difference and life is about probabilities.

And this book showed me the journey to improve these probabilities. And that everything easy is done by too many others and therefore probabilities are low. But with good probabilities will come an early retirement, time for my family and friends and for more ventures to improve the world and help other people. And of course money, since enough riches will help me gain these things.
:)
Since I cannot repay MJ's great effort and the impact his book has made (aside from the small amount of money the books have cost), the only way to say thanks right now is this text that hopefully will guide other people searching the web to this site and to the awesome books MJ wrote.

Thank you!

And to all the others here: Have a great time influencing the world!

Read it a while ago and have been an avid lurker on the forums. Finally decided to register today and start my fastlane journey. I want to build cash by virtually assisting companies for now, and then go in to real estate (my dream).

It truly is an amazing book and got my eyes wide open on how easy it is. All it takes is a mindset shift and consistency.

I have not only read it, but got the audio version as well to listen over and over again when driving or walking the dog! I am in the process of slowly re-reading the book again because there's just so much good stuff in here!

Read it about over 3 years ago for the first time. This book changed my life. I always had the "lazy" mindset of considering 9-5 slavery. I always wanted to be a millionaire and live freely. This book taught me in detail how to make that dream true. The favourite parts would probably be CENTS and money tree seeds. This is the first book I ever wrote a review for on Amazon, I just couldn't contain my gratitude. Thank you MJ!

I read the the Millionaire Fastlane earlier this year via ebook. At that time, I was working an 8-4 schedule. I left that job and worked for someone which turned out to be that feeling of working for someone. Needlessly to say, I did not like that at all. He fired me, and now I am ready to take on this journey. (Not to mention, I am most likely gonna get sued, so this really lit a fire up my a$$...)

I will read that book again, then Unscripted .

I got the audio book and listened to it in two days. It really changed my mindset. I had read Dave Ramsey's total money makeover and was planning to go the slow lane path. You showed me their is a better way. I also listened to Unscripted on audible. Lots of really good information, especially on the CENTS/ business part. I have already recommended your first book to some coworkers. The only criticism I have is all the foul language, especially in the Unscripted book.

Warning: Long post

I just finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane last night after buying it about a month ago. I believe it's the best book on entrepreneurship that I have read, and MJ offered a lot of insights that helped me get my mind in a better place. I'm very happy that MJ wrote the book and I was lucky enough to come across it one day. When I read his book it felt like he was speaking to me on a level more personal than any other author I had read in years.

Just for some background, when I was a young child I was very creative and entrepreneurial--I spent much of my free time researching potential business opportunities, doing lemonade stands, buying and selling toys on eBay , and reading books on entrepreneurship, business, and finance. This instinct, this spirit--whatever you want to call it--slowly got stamped out of me as my parents encouraged me to apply to private schools with the hopes that I would be able to attend a good college and secure a high paying job at a prestigious company. I love them for it and they had the best intentions for me--they were uneducated and felt that in many ways they were held back financially by their lack of credentials--but I have always felt in retrospect that it put my mind in the wrong place. By the time I made it to my new school, that entrepreneurial drive was completely gone and I ended up with tunnel vision, focusing solely on how my learning related to my ability to put together a decent college application. Once I got to college I continued working hard, but after my first few semesters I became frustrated and disillusioned with the idea of professional life--it seemed like all of the money people made in these sorts of jobs always ended up going to loans, outrageous rents, etc. and they never really presented an actual road to freedom or wealth--and as a result just sort of unplugged from everything. I was constantly skipping classes, drinking at the crack of dawn every day, and generally engaging in behavior that was totally destructive to my wellbeing. After spending years of my life trying to fit into a culture, a way of thinking that wasn't in line with who I actually am or what my goals or interests are, I felt completely hopeless. When I was out of college I found myself showing up drunk every day to a dead-end job that I hated where I wasn't sharpening any useful skills or learning anything that I found valuable. I had resigned myself to misery at that point.

Luckily since the summer I was able to turn things around and get my drinking under control, develop a more positive outlook on life, and land a job where I am learning skills that I believe will help me on my Fastlane journey. Nonetheless, I still felt anxious about the future, about money, and about what my next move was. Eventually I came around to The Millionaire Fastlane and it drew me to a handful of realizations that were incredibly positive. I didn't know it until I came across the book, but I had been trapped with a Slowlane mindset that got pushed onto me during my tweens. Then I spent years wrestling with it in misery, trying to figure out why the road I saw before me didn't lead anywhere I wanted to go. After reading sections of The Millionaire Fastlane things just felt clearer and clearer to me, and over the course of completing the book I realized my mindset was slowly changing--I was turning back into that confident, eager, chubby 11 year old kid who would read, research, and learn aggressively to figure out what sort of business he would build. It feels like being home.

This post is already too long, but I think I have gotten my main points across and provided more than a long enough introduction. Even though I'm still in my early 20s, I wish I knew about MJ's book 10, 15 years ago because in some ways I think it could have saved me from years of negative thinking. MJ, your book gave me the courage and confidence to be myself again after trying to be someone else for so many years. It's a truly freeing feeling. I no longer dread the future. As the year comes to an end and I think about 2020, I can't help but smile. It's going to be great. Thank you MJ!
