It’s been raining frequently in the month of June, and I’m really enjoying the cozy weather. It’s very good for reading and brainstorming. Don’t mind me! 😊
I just finished studying a book titled, “The Millionaire Fastlane” by MJ DeMarco – a renowned internet entrepreneur.
The book is very insightful with a lot of eye-opening and life-changing ideas. And in case you don’t know, the “Fastlane” is a way of achieving financial freedom and accumulating abundant wealth within a few years (6 to 8+) while owning a business system that generates net profit, cash flow, and also increases in asset value.
It’s not a “Get Quick Easy” approach, however, you can “Get Reach Quick” if you choose any of the following systems that you can own, control, leverage, and scale.
The 5 Fastlane System
- Rental system
- Computer and software system
- Content system
- Distribution system
- Human resource system
Here are the best 40 guidelines you need going forward as handpicked by the author.
