Cheesy title, Epic results
This book has the advice I have always yearned for, from the successful best friend that I never had. It's not a comforting message telling me how easy things can be, or what great qualities I have—it is the unvarnished truth.
Ever look at the back of a best-selling book and see rave reviews from other famous authors and influencers? Sadly, most of them are fake, and these influencers who say "XYZ's book is awesome!" are fulfilling an unethical industry practice called blurbs ...
A blurb is a great testimonial from someone notable and usually sounds like any of the following:
"Joe Author's book is a once in a lifetime work. This book is a seminal read for anyone who wants to get rich and stay rich."
"I have never read a book more influential in my life. The practical and very actionable concepts left me stunned and my mouth on the floor. You must read this book if you want to forever change your life."
Sound great? Sure, except most of these raves are fake.
You see, publishers represent thousands of authors. And when one of their authors has a new book, they ask their other authors under contract to "give a blurb" for the upcoming book release. In other words, the blurbs are from influential people who never read the damn book and are simply applying a publisher quid-pro-quo. Worse, the blurbs aren't written by the blurber but by the publisher, enhancing the grand illusion.
I've been asked to give blurbs, and unless I've read the book and find it valuable, I decline. Blurbing is pure deception; it is not marketing. When a reader sees a quote from a famous author on the cover of a book, it becomes an explicit endorsement, even though that blurber never read the book. You are being deceived.
This practice is widespread and standard. As the self-publisher of The Millionaire Fastlane, all my raves and recommendations are from real people who read the book. It took me years to acquire these. No quid pro quo.
Mr. DeMarco delivers a message virtually everyone needs to hear and understand. He clearly defines the futility and frustrations 95% of mankind endure, the root causes and delivers a roadmap on how to break free of these constraints.
Considering I don't hang out at Reddit and the platform tends to lean anti-capitalism, anti-wealth, and anti-business, I have to admit I'm proud of this result. It came as quite a surprise to me. If The Millionaire Fastlane can appeal to this tough audience, it will appeal with you.
Raves via The Fastlane ForumThe Fastlane Forum is the business discussion forum to help you discuss your Fastlane business pursuits. After Fastlane was released, a thread was opened to give readers the opportunity to let their thoughts known. That thread is now more than 10 years old with over 9,000 posts. Here are just a few notable comments...
Probably read this book 3 times now. Changed my life forever. Made my first $100,000 using this book. It changed my perspective on life itself, especially the chapter on speed and execution.
Best investment of my life.
MJs is choosing his words in a manner that's ever so awakening, yet hilarious at the same time. Emotional rollercoaster. An awakening that I will never forget.
I randomly fell onto Millionaire Fastlane watching a YouTuber rave over it. I am so happy I listened because this was the book I didn't realize I needed. I almost swore off business books because of the sense of repeat being echoed. Millionaire Fastlane was a totally new direction of real! Loved it! Thanks for created the raw and authentic illumination needed.
“I loved it. No BS and was refreshing to read content that wasn't from some guru who "makes money telling people how to make money." I wish I read this 20 years ago, but it's not too late to start shifting my gears and head over to the Fastlane...
I realized that this is the "Think and Grow Rich" of 21st century.
Enlightening, refreshing, impeccable. I love the writing style. So blunt. No bullshit, just truth! I've recommended it to four others already. Like you said in the book, when you create something that amazing, people have no choice but to share it with their friends.
This man’s book, The Millionaire Fastlane changed my life. I’ve done $85 million in sales since reading it. Highly recommended.
@MJDeMarco millionaire fastlane is da bomb. I can confirm to u its a threat to other guru's work, if they're not after you already?
Book Recommendation: The Millionaire Fastlane by @mjdemarco . Top 3 book for me in terms of entrepreneurship & creating wealth.
@MJDeMarco I recommend this book to everyone. Waiting on your next! Appreciate your frankness.
Hey @MJDeMarco wanted to say how your book inspired me to join the Fastlane. I just made in a week what I used to make in a month. Thank you.
Re-reading The Millionaire Fastlane by @MJDeMarco - the best book I've ever read on how to build wealth for freedom.
Rereading @MJDeMarco 's "Millionaire Fastlane" because its powerful! I've frankly not read a finance book who's lessons were so clear!
Just finished reading #millionairefastlane book by @MJDeMarco , best book I read since #thinkandgrowrich. #motivation #paradigmshift
I was honestly shocked that someone would be willing to invest the time and energy to share this information with others; he could have quite easily sat back and enjoyed his own life, leaving the rest of us in the dark. I am beyond grateful for the time, effort and care that went into this book. MJ DeMarco gets it, and thanks to this book, now I get it, too.
Millionaire Fastlane does a great job of explaining the futility of the 9-5 if you're serious about financial independence. This book isn't about clipping coupons, getting put of debt, or 4 hour work weeks. This book is a no-bull explanation about what it takes to set yourself free.
I have to say, I don't think I've ever experienced such a shift of opinion within the span of a book.
Unbelievably good. I've spent over a decade reading and studying tons of material, all of which don't amount to the dense, accurate, straightforward truths of this book (and then some). MJ puts together all the pieces in one simple solution, while clarifying all other variables that always leave you wondering how the heck they're associated.
Nice thorough book that explains from all angles the mindset and the steps to get on to starting your own business and ultimately, to get into the fast lane. My life has completely changed now, not even joking.

I have to admit, when I first saw the title of this book I thought, "This looks like another get rich quick scheme." Ironically, it is... but not the way you think. This book turned out to be one of the best books I've ever read. And I've read a lot. Especially books about entrepreneurship. This book completely turns the idea of how to become wealthy upside down and it will make you look at the world through a different lens. This book is now in my top 5 and I wish I'd read it years ago.
I'd give it 6 stars if i could so good was the book. The man spent a good deal of his time making this personal finance book entertaining and interesting and he succeeded. I haven't read a more eye-opening book in finances ever.
If any of you have read things like Rich Dad, Poor Dad or Secrets of a Millionaire Mind this book tops them all. I haven't read a more eye-opening book in finances ever.
Don't let the title deceive you. This book is packed full of info that I haven't seen elsewhere. I have read all the best sellers and this book has more practical information than I could have imagined. Mind...blowing!
FIRE Success Satired!
"I didn't want to work for the rest of my life," said Peter Furling, "so I stopped spending money. Then I heard the crickets outside and realized, 'Hey, I could live off the land eating high-protein insects and save hundreds every month!'"
Reality Check!
The most profound article on personal finance you will ever read. And you won't need to spend 12 hours reading a dry 400 page book by a motivational speaker who made billions of dollars selling seminars, not index fund investments.
Move the Needle!
If you're struggling financially, blame your your teachers, your parents, and the media. You're making bad choices based on bad information—here's how to make better financial decisions to create a better financial outcome... WEALTH.
