Being part of such an amazing industry of entrepreneurs, my normal social and business circles include individuals who are pursuing dreams and working on self development constantly.

MONDAY MINDSET MOMENT begs the question:

It was immediately clear to me that this person misplaces responsibility for his life on everyone else. Father was not supportive, he was unloving and a negative influence in his life. Mother was tough, very particular about how things are done and her entire life is dedicated to keeping her loved ones right up under her. Everybody and everything was designed to conspire against his happiness and success.
The truth is his mom gave and continues to give him everything she could. But, in doing so, made life almost too easy which meant he didn't have to take full responsibility for his poor life choices.
