The Millionaire Fastlane Quotes
“The fabric of your life is sewn by the cumulative consequences of your choices – millions of them that set you into motion.

Blame yourself and the choices you’ve made. Yes, you are as you have chosen.”

If you’re stuck in the past, you’re not looking ahead. If you’re not looking ahead, you can’t hit the mark of your future.”
