DeMarco ridicules anybody who hasn’t achieved early wealth as a urine-stained, wheelchair-riding lost cause of society. God forbid you read this book as the proud owner of a shitty car, or as somebody in his 50s or 60s. The tough love tone could be forgiven, if it wasn’t for the breathtaking nonchalance by which he dispels the merit in any lifestyle but his own. That happens to be one of my preferred methods of relating to young cash-hungry audiences, but MJ really pushes the boat out. DeMarco is an abrasive, obnoxious and sometimes annoying writer. It’s 100 pages too long, and starts terribly by ticking off every last painful cliche of the Internet Millionaire. While the first half of The Millionaire Fastlane is a merciless assassination of anybody and everybody who detours from his grand plan, the latter chapters are a brilliant portrayal of what it really takes to attract wealth.įastlane is a mixed bag. And yet his formula for setting the tone of the message is as textbook as a Clickbank sales page. Then fill his shattered dreams with hope that a quick fix solution is there after all.ĭeMarco distances himself from the popular ‘be your own boss gurus’ that he claims to despise. It sounds like a very familiar story arc, doesn’t it? Tell the already downtrodden reader that he’s been doing it wrong all these years. Now, he wants to hand us his blueprint for early retirement, using a clusterfuck of petrolhead metaphors and really, really tough love. DeMarco made his fortune by selling for several million dollars in the early 2000s. DeMarco is a contemporary self-made millionaire the type that we traditionally look up to in the Internet Marketing world. The Millionaire Fastlane aims to dispel the myth of Get Rich Slow, aka ‘every financial dream you’ve ever been sold’. A number of people suggested I read MJ DeMarco’s The Millionaire Fastlane instead, and having heard good things from sources I trust, I thought I’d take them up on the suggestion. I received a ton of replies with the consensus swinging from awesome, to a vanity project, to a complete waste of time. A few days ago, I asked Twitter for some feedback on Rich Dad Poor Dad.
