When and how did you realize that the Fastlane was for you? Did you always want to be an entrepreneur or did something spark an interest?

For me, I always wanted to own my own business, but I had never had anyone in my life who was even close to the Fastlane that I could learn from. My first job was tearing down engines for a small business owner, and when he was evicted for not paying his rent, I thought "Well if HE can't even make it on his own, how the heck can I make??" Two years later, I got into a conversation with Kenric on the train to Budapest and by the end of that trip, I knew that I would somehow manage to start my own business. I came back, read TMF , and that was it.

What I would like to know is what was your turning point?
