Do I have what it takes to be a successful investor?

This past weekend I spent a whopping whole 3 days attend Ron LeGrand's Cashflow Summit 2009 seminar at the Radisson hotel in LAX. I have been to many events like this one which is essentially a live infomercial of each different speaker's products such as seminar training or software. All of them were wonderful speakers making it "almost" irresistible to buy their products. Well I didn't buy any of their stuffs but I've learned a great deal of things in these 3 days and I plan to study further by reading them on the internet or in books. Anyway while I had a great time attending this free seminar/live infomercial I also realized I'm a minority among my friends and family. What do I mean by that? I found people are often unwilling to sacrifice their time to learn anything about investment. They might be interested in hearing about it, but when they are asked or presented with opportunity to actually take action they often shy away. Perhaps they are being skeptical or they don't want to give up their weekend which is all understandable. After all I too thought it was kind of crazy to wake up before 6am everyday driving all the way to LAX and then stay until 5pm before come home. As crazy as it sounds I did it. I sat through all the presentations and took notes. I came home at night and researched on some of the new things I learned that day. I could have spent the weekend with my family but instead I left them home and went to this seminar. I may still be a long way from the top but I believe I have the determination to get there and become a successful investor one day.
