I would hope that most, if not all, of them succeed - and you should, too. Hopefully, they'll refer cases or later become clients.

There have been studies that have shown that your happiness can depend on the success of those around you. But with a twist!

The worse off people around you are compared to yuorself, the better you feel about yourself and the happier you are.

Example:

Friend loses job. You feel bad for him/her, but deep down you think "Thank god I have a job, even if it is shit. I'm better off that him/her."

If everyone around you is doing really well, but you are not doing as well, you become less satisfied with life and are not as happy. Even if you are doing just fine.

I am embarrassed to say that I want them to do good, but not too good. For example, I have a couple good friends who founded startups and they look like they could be on their way to eight figure pay days in the next couple of years. Although i will be happy for them, that kinda makes me feel like shit because it reminds me of how much of a risk averse pussy I am....so in some ways I don't want them to hit it too huge for that reason (I guess unless it is so huge that they have megayachts and shit that i can use). But I want all my friends to be pretty successful.

Most friends, yes. Other friends, hell no. I guess the ones I don't want to succeed are not really friends, but people that are assholes.

I have a few good friends who are in the start-up scene on their ways to what will probably be substantial paydays, and a few friends on the BIGPOLITICS path (2-3 guys who will legit be governors/senators in 20 years). I have sometimes secretly hoped they fail out of jealousy, but this really is a beta attitude.

In life, you're not competing with the people immediately around you. You're competing with yourself.
