The Millionaire Fastlane

DeMarco's whole pitch is "the slow lane — work, save, invest — is fine, but it takes 40 years. The fastlane is building a business that scales beyond your time." He's right that most personal-finance books assume you'll earn a salary and live below it; this one assumes you'll make yourself a multiplier instead. Both paths are real, neither is universal. The tone is intense and the author is in love with his own metaphors, but the framework — CENTS (Control, Entry, Need, Time, Scale) — is genuinely useful for evaluating business ideas. Four worms. Read it alongside a Bogle/Collins book to keep yourself grounded.
