@Douglas Snook :D thank you. o boy do i know what you mean bout the spouse thing. Some people just DONT GET IT, but down the road is the hope that maybe they will at least accept it as successful. (progress speaks volumns- the results will eventually get rid of some of those family gainsayers. :D)

That is another thing i need to do for myself.. find a investors group in my state... to go hang with like minded people.

@Ryan Dossey i found some videos online. He is an interesting Character, but motivational. I also found his facebook page. He makes a lot of sense. The video i watched he was at a talk show and he explained that his office turns over employees alot, cause if they (i dont recall his exact words) but in essence if they have negative energy and brings down the vibe of the office- he cans them and brings in more. 

Of course in life we cant do that when these people are family; but he does also talk of NOT pleasing everybody. Just do what makes you happy. to FOCUS on the goal and NOT worry bout pleasing everybody.  

He is a good read and listen to. I shall buy the 10x's.

Book review i found online I  highlighted a few key things.

"Overview;

Extreme success, by definition, lies beyond the realm of normal action. If you want to achieve extreme success, you can't operate like everybody else and settle for mediocrity. You need to remove luck and chance from your business equation, and lock in massive success. The 10X Rule shows you how! Success is your duty, obligation, and responsibility, and this book gives you step-by-step guidance on how to achieve phenomenal success for yourself!

With The 10X Rule, you'll learn to establish the amount of effort needed to guarantee success and ensure that you can continue operating at this level throughout your life. Most people desire success and have great ideas but they come up short on the amount of action required to get their lives to the exceptional levels they deserve. Four degrees of action exist, and in order to achieve your dreams, you must learn to operate at the fourth degree of action: Massive Action. The 10X Rule will dissolve fears, increase your belief in yourself, eliminate procrastination, and provide you with an overwhelming sense of purpose. The 10X Rule compels you to separate yourself from everyone else in the market—and you do that by doing what others refuse to do. Stop thinking in terms of basic needs, and start aiming for abundance—in all areas of your life.

The 10X Rule guides you toward the frame of mind that all successful people share. Aim ten times higher than you are right now—and if you come up short, you'll still find yourself further along than if you had maintained your life's current status quo. The 10X Rule teaches you how to:

  • Reach goals that you previously thought were impossible
  • Correctly set goals and guarantee their achievement
  • Create unprecedented levels of happiness and satisfaction in every area of your life
  • Use fear as fuel to move you into action
  • Get everything you want and never have to settle
  • Dominate your competition and become a role model for success"

@JD Martin good point. :D

"Why spend time or energy on people who want to bring you down? At the end of the day, there are few people who actually give a crap whether you've done well or not, so spend time and energy on the few that do. Listen to your instincts. Seek out your own knowledge."

Thanks @Ryan Dossey for your encouragment. :D nice pet on the back, keep going.  I will check into this Grant Cardone's 10x Rule. I do need to "hear" some positive boosting talk. Something to counter the negative i hear.  

I hear you; "I want to be an entrepreneur, not a wantrepreneur." It is deff up to me to keep moving.
