Get books and start reading. Go to the FAA's website and download the PDF files on Aeronautical Knowledge and Pilot's Handbook and read them. Also get a test prep book like Gleim and hit the written questions hard. Once you got all that ground stuff done, you can find yourself a CFI and get it done quick. Tell him/her that you're done with ground and is ready to take that written. Of course, he's going to want to make sure you know your stuff so rather than wasting time having him teach you the stuff, pay him to evaluate your knowledge and get signed off for that written test.
And if you really want to take a risk, invest in your MBA. At least it'll feed you at the end of the day.
