It is simple, if your friends and associates are not ambitious or positive about life, you can't be. If your friends do not know more than you, you can never grow.

Whenever anything becomes popular, the game is over, be it a business idea or an investment opportunity. When you read about it in the news , its late to call it an opportunity. Don't buy the noise , the real thing is in the secrete.
How do you get the hidden things no one is seeing? Read books no one is reading. Search for knowledge when other search for entertainment. If you know things other people don't know, you will see the opportunities people don't see.
