Old friends, new friends

[pgtownsyou]

I have a deeply rooted group of friends that goes back to about 2002. We have been a VERY close group ever since.

About a year ago I read TMF and it really hit home. Since then I have taken some big steps into the entrepreneurial world. I know it is the path that I want to take for life.

Unfortunately, my friends don't see things the same. I did get 2 of them to read the book, but their lives literally still revolve around video games and television series. My roommate will spend entire weekend switching back and forth between video games and TV, and that will be all that he does.

I feel as if these relationships are becoming toxic and are greatly holding me back in my ventures. I'm not sure what do, as I do not have many friendships outside of this group.

At the same time, I am hoping to find some people who share my passion and drive for entrepreneurship. How have you guys met friends who you can share your journey with and help each other along?
