Local meetup REIA groups in your area is a step in that direction. Ditch the naysayers and get up close with the positive thinkers and doers. Keep pushing forward; no venture no gain...

Call me crazy, but I believe that you DO need a few naysayers in your circle.Some may even call these people "haters".
For me, this is the ULTIMATE motivation. (side note, if people call you "crazy" you are doing the right thing!).
I have 2 guys in my inner circle who, when I told them about my RE goals, one said "Why do you wanna do that?, no one's buying houses!"
NO ONE is buying houses? Seriously, NO ONE?? In my area, you can go to any RE broker waving a preapproval letter for 155k in their face and they will smile at you like one of those cheshire cats.
I have always been the type of person who succeeds in everything I put my mind to RE is no different thus far, to this I say thank you naysayers for the motivation.
