Today I received the WIRE $$ for the license payment for license and translation of TMF into Russian. The Millionaire Fastlane is coming to Mother Russia and I'm excited. It will probably be at least 9 months before it gets to print. As always, when I get news of availability, I will update. (These license deals have been an interesting experience I must say.)

The three big ones remaining... German, Portuguese, and Spanish.

I've seen the Hungarian version in a bookstore and in my opinion the English version is the best.

I google translated the page and the book title is

"Get Rich! A book for those who dared to make a lot of money and buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini"

is that what it says on the actual book too?

Hopefully the book is translated a little bit better than the title is. Can't get much worse with the title. ;)

Yup, pretty much that what it says:)

@MJ DeMarco: I think it's an interesting title, very direct. I love the original title, but in my opinion, it's tricky for translation.

I'm from Germany and I love your book! The problem is that alot of people over here are not that good in english to actually read a whole book written in english. So it would def be a lot easier to sell it in Germany if it's translated into german in a way that doesn't take away from your style of writing it.

I've read this book in English recently and found out that it was translated in Russian. The title, which was translated above is correct, however, the meaning of title is odd. At the first sight, judging by the Russian title, this book for those who is wealthy already!

MJ, the book is great, very insightful.

Thank you!

I wonder how sales have done in Russia.

I'm new, so started reading the original, but found an online version in Russian as well. Seems like its pretty close, just surprised that the title got more lengthy than the original...

Hi Mj, i live in Russia and I continue to talk to my friends of your great book. I am very curious to see how it will be 'translated. In fact, in the Russian language and culture, there are ways of saying that we in the West have no sense. I would like to assimilate them quickly to be able to speak freely with my friends. Thank you very much.

Russia
Многие прочитавшие TMF , даже имея западный менталитет (это важный нюанс), начинают стремиться "побыстрее сделать деньги", не понимая, что материальный успех приходит к тем, кому есть чем поделиться, а не тем, кто просто нуждается в деньгах. Это описывается в книге и MJ говорит об этом в своем видео, но похоже до людей это не доходит.
Не имея ни знаний, ни навыков, ни инструментов, невозможно достичь материального благосостояния. У большинства нет ни первого, ни второго, ни третьего.

Для русского менталитета эта книга будет либо слишком жесткой, либо создаст иллюзию возможности жить так, как в реальности эти люди жить не смогут.
Здесь у людей рабский менталитет, все чего хотят рабы - иметь своих собственных рабов.

I'll leave it there in Russian for all the obvious reasons.

I guess Russian people still need some years of evolution in this sense. From my experience, 90% of the population has either

A) Communist, entitlement mindset (mostly older people): "Before, there were jobs for everyone, you were take care of. Now the corrupt government and all these oligarchs are exploiting us fair people, while we live in crap"

B) 90s mentality: Getting money is the goal, the end justifies the means


Sad, but true. I hope MJ's book at least helps a little bit to point the mindset of people in the right direction

I disagree. If there is any mentality "holding back the Russian people" it's the pretense that any Russians think of themselves as representative all other Russians. There is no monolithic Russian identity. That's the tragedy of Russia. The country is too large, complex and old for common understanding.
Russian ingenuity and entrepreneurship have long been bright sparks, however the economy including lack of a strong transportation infrastructure has always impeded growth until recently. The space program and cultural exports currently are tippng the iceberg.
Entrepreneurship is alive and well.
Remember, you can never block a gopnik.

Now for my favorite Russian entrepreneur:
