Frustration with Young People

[CVentures1B12]

Hi all,

Just want to get some input from some wise eyes. As the title suggest, my frustration stems from "young people." What exactly is a "young" person? I am referring to more than age. I am referring, mainly, to the lack of motivation, determination, drive, goals, etc...
I am really trying to ramp up my RE investment business and I am REALLY doing all that I possibly can do, in terms of one person. I am making an attractive offer to people of my age to partner up with me, help out, get paid well, but NO ONE that I have talked to is willing to do anything.
I know this is very vague, but I am trying to hire someone which will start to take this business into the fastlane. The problem is that none of my friends, colleagues, acquaintances, etc. do not have the mentality for this. They all think they are the most busy person in the world and get upset when I tell them to just turn off the TV!!
Anyways, the point I am trying to make is that I am having more success speaking with lenders, sellers, etc. than finding someone to help me with my business!! Finding a great partner is just as hard as finding a great tenant, I am sure; however, is there anything that the great sages of this forum can contribute to alleviate my frustration?

Best,

Josh
