The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime Paperback – Illustrated, January 4, 2011

MJ's book is probably one of the best business books I have read in my entire life, and to be frank I rarely ever say that about most books I read.After reading MJ's book, I have probably already recommended it to 30+ of my closest entrepreneurial friends who also have felt the same about the book.As an avid reader of many business books, it is hard to come by a book that truly cuts through all of the BS, and delivers time-tested and proven information from a been there done that no-nonsense entrepreneur who truly cares about your success.Compared to other authors who write books that just want to up-sell you into multi-thousand dollar training programs on the backend, this book stands in the face of all of that noise and "flips them the bird."Not only does this book give you the mindset you must adopt if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, but even more so gives you the tools to use and implement to achieve massive success.I recommend that when implementing a new business idea, or enhancing your current business, please, please, please use this book as your guide.You won't be sorry! By using this book to help you, you are definitely guaranteed to reach all of the goals you have set for yourself and your business...and I stand behind that statement 100% because it has already helped me tremendously with my mindset and business.Here is the truth...While most business books I read are "good," very few of them are great.MJ's book falls into my "great" category for many reasons as described below!In his book, not only do you get a glimpse into the mind of a been there done that multi-millionaire entrepreneur, who made his money OUTSIDE of the publishing business (unlike some of the most well-known business/financial guru's), but even more so, you get a to buy a book that you will want to keep on your night stand forever and be something you reference for many years to come.The parts in the book that truly stuck out to me, and helped me gain a lot of insights and clarity for my business, life and financial plan were the specific parts highlighted below.1. Why Understanding The Process To Creating A Successful Business, is More Important Than Focusing on the One Time "Wealth Event" at The End...(The truth is that if you complete and stick to the process correctly, the wealth event at the end will be a result of all your hard work and discipline to not get ahead of yourself). (After reading this section I realized too many individuals are focusing on the wrong thing when they go into business. This mindset is definitely going to flip you for a loop and challenge every previous thought you ever had about accomplishing anything, and building a company for that matter)2. The Essential Elements To A Fastlane Business (And no they are not what you would expect...this part of the book is worth MILLIONS of dollars to you, and will help you eliminate TIME-WASTING wheel spinning activities in during your current and future entrepreneurial career)3. How to Make a Decision When Faced With Two Semi-Desirable Options (The logic in this is so sound, and the process can be duplicated over and over again, no matter what you are choosing between in the future)4. How To Truly Value Your Business and Set it Up To Be Sold For Millions (And no...it has nothing to do with how many "users" you have without any profit...get ready for this part of the book to blow you away)5. How To Create An Effective Exit Strategy For Your Business That Will Leave You Wealthy...Never Have To Worry About Money or What You Do With Your Time Ever Again (This mindset is so critical to grasp, as most of these web 2.0 companies exit strategy is "sell to Google," when in reality that exit strategy is like praying to win the lottery without a sound base to stand on)6. How To Effectively Think About Investing The Money You Make After Selling Your Company For Millions to Ensure You Continually Grow Your Wealth and Income (If you thought you should be counting on the stock market to make you wealthy, this part of the book is going to shock you, but makes so much sense)So without making the book sound any better than I already have, just listen to me and buy the book...you won't be sorry...just trust me.Truth be told...The book was so good that I even bought it a second time on my new E-Reading device (nook), because I wanted to make sure I had it with me forever to reference if I ever lost my physical copy, or if one of my entrepreneurial friends secretly stole it from me without letting me know they were going to borrow it.And finally...If I had to give a rating out of 5 stars for this book, I would give it a 10. You can't go wrong buying this book because the author truly cares about helping you create all of the entrepreneurial success your heart desires...Hell, he even gives you his e-mail address to contact him after finishing the book! I don't know about you but that says a lot.Enjoy the book! You won't be sorry!-ScottP.S. I even interviewed him for my site here is the link to the interview enjoy![...]

The Millionaire Fastlane is an excellent, no-nonsense book that clearly explains the advantages of entrepreneurship as a career.Perhaps the most insightful aspect of this book is DeMarco's detailed and mathematical explanation of how your career choices affect you financially in the long run - and why entrepreneurship is the best option for those looking to accumulate wealth. Furthermore, DeMarco debunks much of the typical advice given by financial "gurus" regarding compound interest, stock investment, and traditional methods of wealth accumulation. He shows quite clearly how easily you can work you butt off for your entire career - and do all the "right things" along the way - and still be screwed come retirement, if you even manage to get there.Therefore, DeMarco urges the reader to stop wasting his/her money buying books, systems, and programs about building wealth from so-called "gurus." He shows how so many people are tricked by these gurus into buying their "secret sauce" which simply does not exist. He shows us how they pull on our emotional cords and desires of getting rich, but ultimately do not provide us with anything of meaningful value.In other words, he's doing us a huge favor by warning us about potential scams, and he tells us how to avoid them. DeMarco's authenticity in this regard was much appreciated. Not enough people with DeMarco's level of money or success are so forthright.DeMarco's arguments for entrepreneurship are clear and logical. He also provides several clear "models" one might follow in their entrepreneurial journey. He doesn't give an entire blueprint, but that's really not the point. This is a top-level book designed to get your head in the right spot from the outset, so you can pursue your business goals with proper expectations. It's also designed to challenge your preconceived notions of traditional employment, which it does quite effectively.Anyone who reads this book and really "gets it" will come away with an unrelenting desire to start their own business, and have some of the basic knowledge needed to embark on a successful entrepreneurial journey. Make no mistake, DeMarco promises nothing and reinforces the concept that hard work and sacrifice is the only true "secret sauce" - this is not a get rich easy book. You will need to do the push-ups. But at least with your mindset calibrated properly, you are empowered to set off on your journey with clear goals and an objective view of the world around you.I'm an author myself who started my own business this past year, and I can say this is a book I wish I'd had earlier, perhaps as a college student - because it's very inspiring and motivating. Maybe I would have gotten started on my own journey as an entrepreneur sooner if I'd had it then. But even though I just found this book now, it was still an excellent read and it renewed some of my passion for what I'm doing. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a no-BS explanation of entrepreneurship and an objective analysis of your career options.
