Hey guys im a "new investor"? i suppose no deals yet just research. But i'm wondering how do i get people to take me serious. People mostly family don't seem to take me serious because im so young "22" and i dunno what to do? will they finally get it after my first deal?? Ok im done venting any constructive criticism will be appriciated. Thanks in advance. -Frank R

@Francisco Rivera, I think you hit the nail on the head. They will take you seriously when you start doing deals and making money. Until then it is just dreams and fantasy and they may not be as imaginative as you.

But honestly, who cares what they think? If they are holding you back, start associating with people who don't. Movers and shakers, people who have done it, people you'd like to emulate, etc.
