About this listen
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.

I found the book frustrating to listen to, and at times difficult, not because it was no good but because it was hitting too close to my own relaity. Frustration would build up at my own inactions and reality that I face being stuck in a job I'm and saving pennies with no real financial gains.
This is a good book to inspire you into action and make a start, as it has for me.

Great lessons, great delivery.
Full disclosure: I’m a huge MJ fan.
If you’ve read his other work, this book has similar advice with more up-to-date content, and mixes business advice with a fictional story of a struggling couple escaping their 9-5. The story felt like watching a movie with score 6.8 on IMDB, solid line with gut wrenching moments, but nothing ground-breaking. Between each story chapter, Demarco delivers his trademark tough love advice as entertaining as ever.
If you’ve never read a Demarco’s book, he spits hard truths and exposes lies told us by media, parents, teachers and Wall Street for their gain. I was a happy index fund investor, financial independence follower. I remember the exact moment when MJ introduced the idea of Controlled Unlimited Leverage, the CENTS commandments, which is the opposite of advice found on most personal finance books, the old “work, save, invest wisely, avoid debt, retire”. Demarco “cursed” my life to a path of freedom via creating a business system that scales having you in control.
Thanks MJ!

My new favourite book!
For anyone struggling to get out of the rat race, this book is for you. The last time I was this into a book was MJ Demarco's first book, but this one has topped it I think. Perfect timing for me as I'm 4 months into my side business that I'm turning into my main source of income. There are tonnes of strategies that really make sense. Some you already know that it helps reinforce, and some that open your eyes.
I loved the interlacing of fiction and factual strategy, illustrating a couple attempting to break out of the rat race alongside the strategies he explains along the way. And I'm really glad MJ narrated the strategy sections himself again.
I enjoyed it so much that I was disappointed it ended, but it really fired me up and has pointed me in the right direction again. Once you read MJ's books, there's no going back...
