So, after almost six years of searching for a real-entrepreneurship book, a book that didn't make me vomit with platitudes and "self-help" rhetoric, I found THIS book. I didn't read it right away though, I put it aside on my LONG list of books to read. Fortunately, I found some GREAT books, from Jim collins, Benjamin Graham, Joe Girard, but I still DIDN'T quite find the "entrepreneurship" book that told me what I needed to do in a clear enough way. They were GREAT, like to learn how to sell, manage companies and invest, yes, but to start a business and make money? useless. So I read "F*ck you money" by Dan lock, and kinda felt something on it, but I saw that there was too much pressure and not enough guiding, then I found Dan to be a scammer, and I didn't want to be like him, and he didn't have the helping mindset that I have, he was ALL about money, and I am not like that. THEN, I decided to give THIS book a try, and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIII I almost cried! Like, I was like: WHY DIDN'T I READ THIS six YEARS AGO?! It was 2019. And that was the year I REALLY started my entrepreneurial journey because I felt SURE that I was in good hands. AS soon as I finished it, I read Unscripted . Now, I read BOTH books at least once every month, you know, just to re-cap and re-orient myself.
I always say to people: These two are THE only books about entrepreneurship and money you will EVER need to read.
As a guy that lives in a 4th world country filled with corruption, hunger and tyranny, this is a life saver, a dream saver and a guide to better paths, the right way. I cannot recommend this book enough, but you guys ALREADY know that, lol.
Thank you MJ, for giving me a chance in life. Really appreciate it. Deeply.

Hi All,

I hope you're doing well! Yesterday, I completely finished reading The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco. Definitely, an amazing book, turned my world upside down. I felt like I was sitting in a coffee shop with a millionaire giving me genuine life advice. I have even recommended it to my family.

I even loved the part where MJ talks about how you should stop doing what you "love" in terms of a career. I have always been in the Information Technology field. Computers use to be my thing, something I loved doing in my early 20s. But it has now become something that I hate due to working in the IT Field. With the help of the book, I will be changing how I generate income on a monthly basis.

Also, this is not necessarily a big deal, but ever since I read the book and speak to my family. The concepts I have learned from the book, I try to speak to them about they don't completely understand it. For example, I have a half-sister who Is thinking about building up credit to buy a house in her name and car for example. Now I built up credit for this exact reason, but with the knowledge that I have equipped thanks to MJ's book. I see how you can purchase a car and house without credit. But in this case, we are playing the long-term game, which I am completely okay with. Buying it in cash instead of credit. So I am accumulating this feeling like I am the outsider of my family who genuinely wants to help people what I've learned, but when I tell them what I learned. I just get brushed off.

I am not really sure where I stand on credit, but being a user who has used it and mismanage it. I try to help people stay away from it. You are building someone else's backyard instead of your own. I no longer use credit because of this reason.

So I just wanted to create a post to MJ and to thank him for writing this book and giving me the knowledge to better equip myself and to better for my future. I see the world differently than how I use to.

The next book will be Unscripted : Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Entrepreneurship.

I've read TMFL (well listened to it) a lot.

The commandments are a great and simple set of rules to judge business ideas by.

I also wonder if @MJ DeMarco ever met the inventor again that inspired him as a young man.

Thanks!

Matt

I have listened to TMF on audiobook format. Loved it. Absolutely changed my outlook towards my career, and how I will conduct myself moving forward. TMF has joined the ranks of my favourite books that I surely will read more than once, if not multiple times. Truly inspiring. I recommend it to everyone.

I have listened to TMF on audiobook format. It was really an eye opener and totally changed the way I perceive things. Thank you for your insights and ideas. It is time for me to get out from the slow lane and switch to the fast one.

Just read the book and it was everything I have been waiting for and knew was out there. I just didn't find it anywhere else. Thank you for confirming my beliefs and re-igniting the fire in my soul for a better life.

I've read the book. I was so depressed about slowlane so i was looking for something better. My ex GF gave me a bunch of books. I first read "the four hour work week", it was so boring i didn't finish it.
And then "the millionaire fastlane ", i swallowed it. Immediately after, i bought UNSCRIPTED . I know that it will change my life. No TMFL already changed my life, now i'm exited when i wake up. Thanks MJ :)

I've read TMF and it motivated so much, I was setting up for a slowlane plan with stocks and other things, but discovered this book and immediately it all came together, it really helped me to sort things out. Thanks MJ!

I read TMF last summer and am reading through Rat Race now. The practical advice and outside-in approach to entrpreneurship really resonate with me as I look to make a positive impact on people's lives.

Have read the book. Very good one, I was impressed. Never been into finances and money earlier but this turned it around beautifully and exposed my mental hangups. Have recommended to all my friends.

I've read (and re-read the book). TBH, this is not a book; this is a door key. A key to unlock doors that most people are not even aware are there ( I wasn't) - and would be too afraid to try even if they were. This book is the key to a door that leads you into the world beyond mediocre. the single most important manual for business and life I have ever read (apart from Unscripted and Rat Race). Thank you MJ for opening my eyes to the possibilities.
