Started reading this book and for once an investing philosophy makes sense to me.

Forget being mediocre, do something that scales and gives you your escape number.

Thanks @MJ DeMarco!

##### SUMMARY

UNSCRIPTED - The Great Rat Race Escape : From Wage Slavery to Wealth, How to Start a Purpose Driven Business and Win Financial Freedom for a Lifetime
(Yes, really long but I was able to get to work on the cover!)

By all appearances, Jeff and Samantha Trotman are living the American Dream. But behind the white picket fence, they endure an American Nightmare. With little time for each other, a pile of debt, and Ferrari taste on a Ford budget, the ruse of affluence is killing them. Two respectable jobs and a lovely suburban house paint a pretty picture, but behind the ink is a broken marriage rife with meaningless work and dead dreams. And now, with an unplanned pregnancy, they’re facing a mid-life crisis twenty years early.

With little time and looming bankruptcy, the Trotmans are forced to face the red-pill truth they long denied: They were living, but they weren’t alive. Determined to resurrect their life and their marriage, the Trotmans plot a rat-race escape—only to find themselves more thickly in it.

As tensions rise and hope fades, follow along step-by-step as the Trotmans pivot to a new strategy and a new career: starting a business as entrepreneurs.

While they navigate their journey, you’ll learn 120 wealth-building strategies and principles that your mainstream financial guru won’t dare reveal—actionable concepts that will help you profit your way into the Unscripted 1%, an emerging economic class of entrepreneurs who enjoy a lifetime of freedom emancipated from miserly living and Wall Street's "save, pray, and wait" paradigm. Discover how one family escapes the rat-race grind and wins a lifetime of financial freedom, leaving behind the tyranny of meaningless jobs and mediocre living— and how you can too.

• The Bad Math Principle: Why most people will never escape the rat-race, much less earn financial freedom.
• The 1/5/10 Strategy: How this one simple exercise will unearth your ultimate dream life while establishing a decision framework for its reality
• The Honeypot Principle: Why the financial media's "invest a $100/mo for 40 years in indexed-funds" narrative is part of the same rat-race scheme, just a different side of the same rigged coin.
• The Dual Change Strategy: The two divergent sides of change and how it can make you a fortune.
• The Value Skew Strategy: How to find literally 1000s of business ideas and why you never need to "disrupt" or invent anything new or novel.
• The Millionaire Payday Strategy: How to spot opportunities to hire yourself and earn an instant millionaire-making income.
• The Cinderella Principle: Why starting a business based on a cultural trend or a fad is a horrible idea.
• The Perseverance Strategy: Never struggle with motivation again; the four necessary ingredients to tap into unlimited motivation and determination, regardless of the obstacles in your way.
• The Triangulated Value Strategy: Learn how to never quit three-feet from gold: The 3-pronged strategy in maximizing marketing yields while also illuminating the "quit or continue" decision.
• and over 110+ more!

Don’t let the rat-race and its co-conspirators proclaim your life as non-essential. Don’t let the rat-race entice you to save your life away for the promise of an elderly retirement. Don’t let the rat-race lull you into a tedious existence medicated by television, video games, and trivial sporting events.

Go Unscripted , escape the rat-race, and win your happily-ever-after.

I read TMF . I am reading UNSCRIPTED . MJ is a great writer. I will read The Great Rat Race as well. MJ nails the devil of compound interest and grandma lane to the stake in great way. My mind can't stop thinking about what entrepreneur project I should take. Web design, publishing, and what not. By the way I am in Uganda.

Great book. Very addictive.

Halfway through this right now

 

[ZackerySprague]

Such a great book, seriously haha!

 

[Isaac Odongo]

Mate you have for talent! in reality the book should be turned into a film! You might sell 50k copies but nothing saids genius like a budget set style film. If I have time to read it I will. Write the scripts!

I have already read the UNSCRIPTED . Great book. Shows me what I ought to do. Also read Growth Mindset, and reading The ONE Thing as recommended. I have already narrowed to one thing. And I am already a long way on.

I should read the Great Rat Race next. Give me a few weeks. I know the secret remains the same. Only the method and the motivation. The trend. The thread may be more up to date. Besides reading is to the mind as exercise is to the body. Books are some of my best associates.

 

[otaku_ch]

I read the book in one week (French version) now, I'm read it again but this time I'm doing the exercises along the way.

 

[Isaac Odongo]

I have read the Great Rat Race Escape . A great book indeed. MJ talks the truth as he perceives it. He doesn't need some sleek tongued voices feeling his introductory pages with flattery as some others do. He is genuine. He is not looking for cheap popularity. He doesn't even want it but with such productions he can't help it. 1/5/10 Planasy. I did it. I had done calculations for my Escape number earlier but for only 20 years. I need to project it infinitely as suggested. By the way, I currently don't have networth. I only have this mission, vision that I should attain to reclaim the dignity of my family, to ensure I don't age like my parents, always worried about money and make sure I reward them for their hardwork. I am going to reread the Great Rat Race Escape in order to collect all the principles, laws and strategies in diary, neve. The day I am unscripted I will make sure as many as I can read MJ. I feel confident referring friends who deserve to read him. Soon I will begin an execution thread. Act Assess Adjust. MJ has taught me Lots of stuff.

Read this book last week. Jeff and Sam are my examples. It is a process.

 

[PatchSouza]

Very good content you have on hand. I hope that these books will soon be translated into Portuguese.
i can help if you need.

 

[Shono]

I listened to The Great Rat Race Escape on audible, and I plan to listen to it again soon to re-enforce the principles and stages.

Read the final book today the great rate race and it was very well put. I definitely will review these books in more detail but I highly recommend all three of them. It is definitely worth the read and the truth of what our lives are today. Thank you MJ.

 

[ZackerySprague]

Read the book Twice. I think it's always good to read a book twice. I was able to comprehend more of the material this time around than the first.

 

[parabolic]

I found this on eBay and it seems sketchy for a few reasons, mostly that it is on a format that I've never seen MJ advertise. Is this legitimate? If not, hope that MJ can get them shut down.

I believe that is Amazon blocking that format from being purchased in your country.

You can try to purchase here:

ePubs Archives - Viperion Publishing Corp.

ePubs by DeMarco

viperionpublishing.com

Epubs can be imported into Kindle I believe -- you might want to check to see exactly how that is done if you do want to buy.

Sorry wish I could be more help.

It's pretty simple, but I've found better results from converting EPUB to MOBI using a website like this: https://cloudconvert.com/epub-to-MOBI

Then connect your Kindle to your computer and drag the MOBI file into the Documents folder
