They see the opportunity to make money, do more meaningful work, improve their financial future, rise to a personal challenge, change their lifestyle.

They have let the negative attitude of someone else become more powerful than their belief in their dream of financial independence and more time with the family. Friends can do more damage than a dozen enemies. Remember, the easiest thing to find on earth is someone to tell you all the things you cannot be. Don't listen to them. Often they have the best intentions. They don't want you to be hurt or lose money. Often those that try to steal your dreams are very conservative and have achieved little in their own lives. It is always the person who has never made $'40
