I’m tired of people

[future8938]

I’m tired of being so alone in my mindset of winning and getting what I want. My old peers from hs have all given up on their dreams. I feel so alone honestly. I guess this is why they say it’s lonely at the top. Where do you guys meet like minded people addicted to where their going in life and not satisfied with their life and want more? I’m tired of friends Turnint into haters when I’m doing better than them or flakey people not serious about their goals. God F*ck this

I've had the same problem, it is lonely as you say. Every once in a while I wonder that instead of worrying about a business problem, I could be chilling out getting drunk with old school friends if I hadn't moved away and essentially cut contact with them. Deep down there's no doubt that it was the right decision though.

When I started out I thought that networking events would be a good place to meet like minded people but I found they were full of people trying to sell you something. It's the same with Linkedin.

I started renting a warehouse for my business a few years ago and have become great friends with 2 neighbours on the same industrial estate. They both run their own businesses and have a similar mindset to me. I think a key reason we've become friends is that I'm not trying to sell them something and vice versa. Instead it begun when we started doing favours for each other (you scratch my back, I scratch yours). I've met a couple of people on (free) business courses too who have become good mates.

All of them are much more reliable than my old school friends and I have a lot more in common with them. They've given me a lot of business wisdom and we've helped each other out staying up to date with coronavirus restrictions and finding opportunities. While it is a small support group, as time goes by I'll meet more people.

I don't know what your situation is like but I bet there are business owners local to you that you would get on well with. Networking can be useful - rather than networking events you could join a local business group, chamber of commerce or attend courses (find free courses or business support that may be run by your local government). I joined a local mastermind group for a while but felt like it wasn't for me but others might suggest this is another way of meeting people. Also, my friends are much older than me. I find that I have more in common with people older than me. Hope these suggestions help.

I am so lonely too that at this point, this forum makes up for about 60% of my daily social interactions.

Go find business owners and gather where they gather...they tend to congregate together. Take a job working for them, even if for the social interaction.

This forum is a good start and online there are communities of entrepreneurs.

Face to face instead I think your best options are
- meetup groups and gathering
- entrepreneurs workshop
- personal and business development intensive courses

If you are in a not highly populated area of course it is harder than in a big city

Ferrari track days are usually a good bet or at the yacht repair shop
