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.

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

An MBA wrapped in a 16 hour book

Admittedly it is a long listen, however it is chalked full of extremely valuable information. The author provides a brutality honest & practical map towards financial freedom. As a"saver" rat, I identified with the frustration of saving forever hoping to gain wealth Buffett style fearing that I wouldn't see a break until I reach Buffett's age. I would recommend this book.

Be in the entrepreneur mindset prior to reading

Great opinions, & action steps to take to begin a financial path to success.
May be overwhelming to many who have not had a side hustle or are in an entrepreneurial mind set

Wow… this book… will change my life

MJ’s book, Unscripted made me feel as if I had just been pulled out of the Matrix. This book, has completely cemented my faith in this process. Worth every minute of the read! But now I realize even reading can be action faking, time to get back to working on the business!

Better than 5 stars

Another masterpiece by MJ Demarco. This is one of the best personal finance/entrepreneurial books I've read in a while. MJ is probably one of the few people in personal finance who will actually tell you the truth about what it takes to build and grow wealth. The storytelling is good and the MJ's "tell it like it is" style of writing makes for an excellent listen. Do yourself a favor and buy this book, read it, and then put his advice into practice.

CLASSIC

THIS BOOK IS A CLASSIC!!! I had to read it twice to pick up things I might have missed the first time. I'll be buying the actual book for this one. Extremely well written with a bonus story included. Definitely the best book I've read this year.
