The thing about your friends is that they have identified themselves with that job or that guy.

They feel these aspects of their life are all they are worthy of (whether they are consciously aware of it or not). Change will only happen when they know that they desrve better, much better. There are books that train you to believe you are deserving abundance financially. (which I believe to be true) Once this is accepted by you as true you will go out and make whatever level of wealth you feel you are worthy of, you attract it.

Imagine someone cut your paycheck in half, what would you do? Ofcourse, you would leave and find another job that paid a similar wage. This is because this is the temperature that your financial thermostat is set to. You wouldn't tolerate less. The point is, until your friends truly feel worth more, they won't attract any 'more'. These beliefs are held subconsciously and they need to be changed there.

So, can you do this for them? No, but I liked this quote from dadeon above

Quote:
If you want to take them with you, you have to lead by example. Simply refuse to indulge in negativity
When you are around them, be the type of person you want them to be. You will be putting your vibes out and it should rub off. Giving a book can also be a good idea but you have to judge this carefully as someone might take offense, you know your friends better than I do. Hope this helps
