I'm going to post this in the Millionaire's thread because behind all the millionaire stories are a tale of hard work, desperation, challenges, sacrifice, and struggle.

The Fastlane process isn't easy. Will you be training while others are fixed on the couch playing Call of Duty? Will you be reading while others are drinking down a Maloney's watching the Cubs lose another game? Will you take the easy way out?

Someone posted this in the Lambo forum and it could only remind me of my own struggles, not to mention the nostalgia of the era. And the Lambo helps too!

Bottomline, there's no easy way out!
