I would hate to pump someone up who has a family to support only for him to fall into financial ruin. I welcome any and everyone compelled to this industry to go for it, but only with both eyes wide open.

Hey JP - great forum you've got here so no disrespect -
It's not wiring, it's more like a switch - and like Chris said, there just comes a time or an opportunity that flips it - we've all got it in us - it's that "game worth playing" talked about in the E-myth -
And remember the personal story Michael Gerber tells in the book? He was a flat-out loser for his entire life, until he found his game worth playing -
The idea that some people are just born like that or are different is a disease - we've all got it in us, and I've achieved too much and seen other people achieve such ABSURD things that you couldn't convince me otherwise (unless the person in question was retarded or something) -
But having a family to feed and lifestyle maintain can sometimes be just the thing that holds you to the fire - I think not having enough social responsibilities is what held me back for a long time -
So to the OP, read JP's sig quote by Mark Twain - find your game worth playing - it might be Personal Training, it might not - don't quit and don't listen to anyone that tells you otherwise -
