Hilarious Story Of Lack of Ambition & Drive - Share Your Stories

I am an experienced investor and have flipped many properties. I have a couple friends that wanted to get into the market therefore I decided to TRY and take them through one offer or two and split profits.

I if course assumed, once every few days, response to emails, etc..

What happens, weeks without responding to emails, phone calls once every two weeks etc..

Yes, I know these people are evidently not ready to pursue anything or have way too much going on in real lives.

I just find it so funny that people see or hear stories of success but no one wants to work for it. No one understands that in order to become wealthy in todays world you need to work more than 8 hours a day. People go to work 8-5 and expect to be rich. I just don't get it. I especially don't get it from people that are well educated have a great job and disposable income. The express so much interest but when it comes down to actually DOING SOMETHING and not just talking they are lazy as heck.

Would love to hear your stories!

I'm 36 years old and am getting ready to quit my factory job. I set out 3 years ago with the goal to be a full-time landlord within 5 years and turned my 4 units into 28 units. Im not completely happy with my current cash flow so I'll be doing interior painting on the side until I refi the rest of my land contracts and am able to boost my cash flow in 2-3 years. Either way.....I'll be self-employed in a month.

People have told me im lucky to be quitting and so on.

Bull$#!T

I worked while they were watching TV. I worked while they were playing video games. I worked while they slept. I worked while talked about winning the lottery.

I worked.....they didn't.
