![]() ![]() Time isn’t a commodity, something you pass around like a cake. When anyone asks you to give your time, they’re really asking for a chunk of your life. “There’s a profound difference between interest and commitment. ![]() ![]() Interest reads a book commitment applies the book 50 times.” ― M.J. “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. “All events of wealth are precluded by process, a backstory of trial, risk, hard work, and sacrifice. If you try to skip process, you’ll never experience events.” ― M.J. MJ DeMarco is a semi-retired entrepreneur, investor, advisor, and international best-selling author who’s books have been translated in over 15 languages worldwide. He is the current founder of Viperion Publishing Corp., a media company focused on online and print content distribution. He also is admin/founder for The Fastlane Forum, the web’s leading destination forum for start-up, finance, and entrepreneurial business discussions. Prior to embarking into the world of writing and authorship, he was the former start-up Founder/CEO of (1997-2007), a global ground transportation aggregator and marketplace that he successfully built and grew into a profitable multi-million dollar company, all with no money, no formal training, and with just a few employees. In 2001, he sold the company in an exit event but later reacquired the company via bankruptcy reorganization. He later sold the company again in 2007 to a Phoenix-based private equity company.īy refusing to accept society’s default template for mediocrity (THE SCRIPT: jobs, 401(k)s, frugality, give your life savings to Wall-Street) MJ was able to retire young in his thirties without sacrificing the good life. Yes, that means he isn’t playing Wall-Street’s “hope, wait, and pray” game where you nervously invest all your savings into the stock market, all while commiserating over the Starbucks you couldn’t drink because saving $4.12 was more important. (Do people seriously believe that sh*t?)Ĭurrently, MJ owns a publishing company which produces, distributes, and licenses his work around the world while contributing daily to : an entrepreneurial community featuring over 40,000 entrepreneurs. He lives in Scottsdale Arizona and enjoys road trips, softball, travel, fitness and nutrition, working out, and recklessly exploring the Sonoran desert on his UTV. Conventional Thinking Leads to Conventional Waysĭespite its title, The Millionaire Fastlane by entrepreneur MJ DeMarco is not about some get-rich-quick scheme. It rather focuses on how to build wealth the right and systematic way. The key message of this book is that there are other ways that are supposed to make us rich more than going to school, get a good job, live frugally, and retire. This kind of mindset takes decades to succeed. ![]()
