Staying motivated in the RE business

I have seen so many people start and stop in the Real Estate business more times than I can count. I recognize that a lack of initial success is going to result in people petering out but what about the people who found some success but then slowed down? Is it because they are contented with the success they found? Or, is it that they are afraid to take it to the next level? I imagine that there is a blend of both, but which is more prevalent? I think there are a lot of people who just want to “be their own boss” and don’t recognize that they have done a little more than create themselves a job. There seems to be a contingent as well that found a moderate level of success and are quite smitten with themselves. These people are easy to recognize and are not my favorite to spend time with. What are your thoughts?
