How did you meet successful people (as friends?)

[daniel_m]

One thing I've noticed not only in myself but other people as well, is that the deeper you dive into the journey of entrepreneurship, the less you relate to other non-entrepreneurs. Especially when you work as a one-man show and do it from home. You have a different schedule, a different outlook on life, and certain blessings that other people don't (like the ability to move on the fly and dictate your life in a more direct way). Because of this, it's not easy to be on the same page as people who are deep into a routine of work/school 5 or 6 days per week, and stuck with a certain mindset (which unfortunately seems to account for a massive percentage of the population).

So my question to those of you who have done it - how did you form a circle of other people who share the same blessings and mindset as you? And I'm not talking about people who are strictly business partners, mentors, or associates (though it's not a problem if they are) but rather people who you can honestly call close friends, and who are also around the same level as you, in terms of wealth/time/etc.
