    We arrived last night and got ready for today's class.
    I figured I'll keep an update of how the class is going and share some experiences from it.

    Steve Toburen has already come by our table and introduces himself. Very nice to finally meet him in person.

    Class hasn't started just yet. Chuck Violand will be conducting today.

    Have fun Torrey, the 5 days can be alittle draining and hard for people like us to sit still but the @$$ cramp will be worth 10x what you pay for the course.

    My good friend Tommy Morrow is in the class with you guys, make sure to slap him in the back of the head for me

    Brand new chairs for this class, Shane. Just one more reason to come back! (Plus Nick's manicotti and meatballs along with Caesar salad for lunch. Mmmm...)

    Haha, I was wondering what you were talking about. Then the "yabutt" charts came out.... I about died.... No matter how hard you try, I almost said "ya butt chuck....". Lol. Hard facts that can't be disputed here. Love it
    Yea these chairs are nice! They recline so I'm happy.

    P.S. I didn't marry here for her accounting skills :). But she may have them now!

    Ha, I thought about it!

    Dude..... "it's like they literally blew my brains out with a shotgun and then took each piece and put it all back but in the right order"
    I knew there was more to this than just making a quick few hundred bucks and calling it a day, hoping you can continue that way for the whole year. In SFS they show you how and why to run a real business that will be profitable other wise you are just slowly drowning. I knew this was real but now I see it on paper! Love it!

    First time I've ever been interested in something enough to not post on tmf for 9 hours.

    It was great. First half of the day realized how horribly run my business is, and how lucky I am to still even be in business. Second half was about hiring employees, which I'm nowhere near doing anytime soon, but it gave me hope. How have I never heard of Chuck Violand? No one talks about him. Dude is awesome.

    And Stephen Myers is super cool and nice. No Joseph Rodgers sightings though.
