If You Consider Yourself A Successful Investor....

Did you follow the "rules" that are usually taught by mentors and gurus?

Rules including but not limited to;

Tithing, if you're religious- When I was religious I never really understood why I "had' to tithe to reach success in business.

Using the law of attraction- I am a positive thinker so I use this method for the most part.

Donating to charity/ies

Cutting off ALL friends that aren't motivating or doing anything with their lives....Completely cutting them off, as in not even an occasional catch up lunch. I'm having a bit of a hard time with this one because one of my ex best friends has 0 going for herself and I've tried motivating her, to no avail. Sometimes I feel bad because she has reached out but now I pretty much ignore her. For some reason I still feel that I am obligated to be her friend even though the friendship will not help me achieve my goals and may even be hinder my progress.

I guess I really want to know if anyone feels they have been pretty successful in REI without implementing the extra stuff........and just put in good ol' hard work? Did you keep the same friends, not tithe, not use the law of attraction etc?

BTW I definitely am not trying to get off without donating money or time to people that really need it.
