		jashmenn on April 4, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How to find startup ideas that make money Can anyone else vet for this book? I don't mean to be overly cynical, but the Amazon description is awfully "salesy". Even the reviews don't really pass my sniff test [1]. I'm opening to read this sort of entrepreneurial-inspiration, but I would just like a couple other people to chime in and say what they thought of the book. [1] One of the top rated reviews "PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! I have worked with major celebrities and athletes that have went broke on earning 1 Million a year,this is the first author to really explain why. " (72 5-star reviews and not a single 1-star? Surely there is someone who disagrees with the author?)

I can see what you mean, Millionaire Fastlane looks quite "salesy".

I recommend that you watch the Mixergy interview with him, he actually addresses this point right in the beginning of the interview. http://mixergy.com/mj-demarco-limos-interview/
