No money, but I can make it if i work out of town and miss my family life?

I'm trying to get my first flip going but family and friends that have money are unsure about going in with me. I don't blame them because it would be tough for me to give someone tens of thousands of dollars too. Now here's my real issue, I have the option to work out of town for about 6 months and come home with enough money to get it going. I like my current job and I get to see my family everyday, If I left for the money I couldn't see them. Most people would probably get the money and get started on there dream job. I am an Iraqi Freedom Veteran and when I was deployed my daughter was just born, after I came back she was walking. I made a promise that I would never leave her again, regardless if it was for money for the family. Sorry for the sob story but just wanted to lay it all out so you get my mind set. Any suggestions?

I have a difference in opinion with the majority of people in this thread. Those who find success in life are willing to do the things that others are not willing to do. In my case that meant moving over 1000 miles away from everything and everyone I had ever known, and taking a much better job that has allowed me to not only eliminate all of my personal debt, but build wealth, and start truly investing. 

In your case you have to decide what is important to you. Why don't you have money? Is the real reason that you don't earn enough or is it spending/savings habits?
