Summary

Has your life been conscripted by an economic religion?

Learn how to free yourself and your life through the power of unscripted entrepreneurship.

Grab your front-row seat in the story of a lifetime. Witness how one family escapes the rat race - the world's economic religion - and how you can too.

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 20 years early.

With little time and looming bankruptcy, the Trotmans are forced to face the red-pill truth they long denied: They were living, but they weren’t alive. 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 one percent, 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 wage-slaving grind and wins a lifetime of financial freedom, leaving behind the tyranny of meaningless jobs and mediocre living - and how you can do the same. Not in 50 years, but five or 10.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great read

Lots of useful information and techniques. The story is gripping too, as a method of placing the techniques in context.

Another Home Run from Demarco

If you are looking for a roadmap to escape the rat race without all of the up-selling sales funnel BS then read any one of Demarco's books.
This unique offering includes a fictional story that demonstrates "the process" in action so you can see how the books core concepts can be applied in the real world.
You will probably want to read this more than once...

Power, returned to the people...

I read MJ Demerco's 'Unscripted' and found myself listening to this book on commutes in my car. The practical advice is worth the cost of any full time course at University, and I would know being a student myself! MJ has shown his flair in this book with an interesting and well written story interwoven throughout, to provide context to the teachings.

I just have to say, thank you to MJ Demarco for sharing his wisdom with us all for a massively reduced price. You have touched so many people with your words and opened our eyes to the truth.

insightful storytelling

Third times a charm, having listened to the previous 2 books with the same message presented in different ways to snap you out of the rat race coma, this one is a surreal listen as it echoes life around you through the perspective of 2 protagonists stuck in the rat race

Personally I really enjoyed the anecdotal way this book steps through the trials and tribulations of the fast lane methodology with extra insights provided at each point in the planasy journey.

Too much veganism in a business book

Great book about productocracy, too much vegan agenda in it. I would not expect to read a lot about any particular religion in a business book, so for me strict vegan views are also not welcomed in that kind of book. As usual great advice how to escape the rat race, just filter out vegan stuff if you don't like it like me.

Do as I do, 👌

Having listened Millionaire fastlane and Unscripted, I was looking forward to this book!
MJ is a master story writer. And I absolutely love his cut-to-the-chase attitude as he gives a blow by blow, step by step account of exactly how to be free from financial worry.
I believed the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do gurus for far too long. no more!!

Excellent

I love the DeMarco books and this is right up there. Great message and a great way of telling it with the theory and the practical example of the couple looking to exit the Rat Race. A great read and highly recommended

Incredible book

I've read/audible listened to all three of MJ's books now and this for me is the best one. I could completely relate to the story and for me that is what has made it more compelling than the other two. The other two are also incredible but this is a little bit more practically involved giving a little bit more context to the fast line principle. I will say the other two for foundations are brilliant as you need to know the commandments etc and when seeing how they apply here in a more strategic approach you really get the bigger picture. I've started my process now and I'm grateful to MJ for that.
