Hey guys, joined the Fastlane community not long ago and thought I'd share this article for my first post. Apologies if this has already been shared:

http://www.victorycoaches.com/2014/04/28/get-the-most-from-your-job-before-quitting-entrepreneur/

Hope this gives some of you 9-5ers a little motivation to learn and absorb as much as possible whilst working the desk job before embarking on the fastlane. Remember, success is a journey and for some, that journey might start at a corporate job, gaining the necessary experience and networking with peers who may potentially help you in the future. Just my 2 cents.

Enjoy the article!
