Great question! 
It was a combination of factors:
1) My younger brother had finished his degree QUICKLY using the old BAin4weeks site. However, when he really tried to sell me on the concept, I was terrified. Was it valid and could I do it?
2) I tried to go back to school the old-fashioned way. I did a couple of expensive online classes before realizing that at my pace, it would take me 5-6 years to finish, not to mention the money. I just didn't think I had it in me to finish
3) I got serious about the testing concept and found the forum after using the flashcards. I had encouragement from real people who had real degrees... and who even had continued postgrad work at "real" schools!
It took me 9 months from the time I got serious to the end. I made a schedule and I stuck to it. I can only remember rescheduling a CLEP that was too near Christmas. I was so motivated when I finished that I had no problem carrying the momentum into a Master's degree. Yes, I got some debt from my MBA, but it was THE perfect degree for my career and I have seen a major ROI in both monetary and personal satisfaction terms.
