Hi guys,

I feel truly honoured to be in the company of such a strongly driven community of entrepreneurs who're dedicated to delivering value. I myself am at a crossroads in my entrepreneural journey and wanted to seek the opinion of more experienced entrepreneurs.

I'm a 20 year old student at the University studying for a degree in Architecture. I happened to stumble on the Millionaire FastLane a couple of weeks ago and transformed it into my Bible, reading every word and jotting down point by point.

I've always wanted to be in control of my life and be able to provide for myself and my loved ones. My big goal is to have my mum leave her job and build her her own school. I've been vigorously searching for a way to do that and the book couldn't have come at a better time for me.

In my attempt to venture into the Fastlane path I'm wondering if staying in University will hamper my full attention and dedication to working on developing my Fastlane business and I'm thinking of dropping out.

Is this something that any of you would recommend doing? Your honest opinions will be much appreciated.

Many thanks.

Tevin Waiguru.
