##### SUMMARY
UNSCRIPTED – The Great Rat Race Escape: From Wage Slavery to Wealth, How to Start a Purpose Driven Business and Win Financial Freedom for a Lifetime
(Yes, really long but I was able to get to work on the cover!)
By all appearances, Jeff and Samantha Trotman are living the American Dream. But behind the white picket fence, they endure an American Nightmare. With little time for each other, a pile of debt, and Ferrari taste on a Ford budget, the ruse of affluence is killing them. Two respectable jobs and a lovely suburban house paint a pretty picture, but behind the ink is a broken marriage rife with meaningless work and dead dreams. And now, with an unplanned pregnancy, they’re facing a mid-life crisis twenty years early.
With little time and looming bankruptcy, the Trotmans are forced to face the red-pill truth they long denied: They were alive, but they weren’t living. Determined to resurrect their life and their marriage, the Trotmans plot a rat-race escape—only to find themselves more thickly in it.
As tensions rise and hope fades, follow along step-by-step as the Trotmans pivot to a new strategy and a new career: starting a business as entrepreneurs.
While they navigate their journey, you’ll learn 120 wealth-building strategies and principles that your mainstream financial guru won’t dare reveal—actionable concepts that will help you profit your way into the Unscripted 1%, an emerging economic class of entrepreneurs who enjoy a lifetime of freedom emancipated from miserly living and Wall Street’s “save, pray, and wait” paradigm. Discover how one family escapes the rat-race grind and wins a lifetime of financial freedom, leaving behind the tyranny of meaningless jobs and mediocre living— and how you can too.
Don’t let the rat-race and its co-conspirators proclaim your life as non-essential. Don’t let the rat-race entice you to save your life away for the promise of an elderly retirement. Don’t let the rat-race lull you into a tedious existence medicated by television, video games, and trivial sporting events.
Go Unscripted, escape the rat-race, and win your happily-ever-after.

Get Your Business Idea Instantly CENTS Rated; Is it Worth Pursuing?
Introducing — Grade My Business Idea — a website tool that will instantly grade and rate your business ideas in accordance to a weighted CENTS Framework whereas NEED and SCALE is most important, plus a MARKET ACCESS variable. (If you can’t reach a market with a message, do you have a market??)
Grade My Business Idea: Business Ideas and Opportunities Rated Fast
I thought it was about time I created a grading tool with properly weighted metrics to determine the value of potential business ideas. Now anytime someone at the forum comes forward with an idea, I (we) can easily use this tool for dynamic grading. The tool specifies strengths, weaknesses, and puts the idea in perspective of the execution multiplier scale which I detailed at the end of The Millionaire Fastlane.
https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/how-great-is-your-business-idea-from-a-cents-perspective-find-out-instantly.90411/
So moving forward, ANYONE can have their ideas rated and graded according to my CENTS Framework, and they don’t need to ask me personally! It’s all there for you to review, assuming you’re honest with your answers.
Enjoy!

Blogging is so 2006!
Hey there!
If you’re looking for MJ DeMarco, author of The Millionaire Fastlane / Unscripted, yes, this is my personal website and blog.
However as you can tell, I don’t do much here because a blog is too much one-way communication. In other words, it’s me talking AT someone versus WITH someone.
As such, I spend most of my time contributing to The Fastlane Forum — an online entrepreneurial community I founded in 2007.
If you’re looking to chat with me (and other entrepreneurs) please visit there.
It is entirely FREE and there’s a ton of Fastlane gold there for anyone wishing to pursue the Unscripted life!
Cheers,
MJ DeMarco, Author/Entrepreneur
