Unless a person is born surrounded by wealth, almost everyone suffers from the "Scarcity Mindset..." and if you believe that acquiring wealth will deprive another... you are well on your way to remain in modest conditions for the remaining of your life...

Now, having the "Abundance Mindset" is a mental concept where you see abundance everywhere... and that wealth is there for you to own and to have... and all that you have to do is to find a shovel and pick it up...

I almost starved before I could get that through my mind... but, once I got it... miracles happened...

Every person I met was a potential customer who could benefit greatly from my services and could well afford it... I did not feel that I was taking anything from anyone else... I was giving more value than I was acquiring... while acquiring loads of wealth...

That's what the "Abundance Mindset" is all about... it not about taking away... but about giving and receiving... it's not about being part of the problem... it's about being part of the solution... it's not about reducing the available wealth... it's about increasing it...
