I'm new here, something for me to share with you guys:
I had a self reflection moment with my roomate last night and it hit me that who I associate with plays a significant role in my personal achievements and goals.
I'm living my quarter life at this point and looking back at my high school friends now, most I rarely talk to nowadays, they are either working in corporate jobs or still in school. Then I look back at my close college friends that I kit on a regular basis, and all of them started their own company and are successful at it.
I'm currently working on my own, doing what I'm good at, out of my own apartment, while still netting over $20k per month. I had the support from my close friends and the aspiration to be in similar success level, which played a strong role of being here now. And not too long ago, my other friend, who've been influenced by what I do (games) built a business and is now seeing over $100k per month in revenue.
One way to find a true social circle is to be vocal about what I want and how I think - I don't need to have it, just loud enough so other knows I want it

. People that didn't mesh in never stayed while those that felt similarly gravitated towards me and each other. The results are amazing.
