Their every day thoughts and habits result in a lifetime of abundance or poverty. Since most individuals grow up either in poverty or middle class, they grow up in households where money and other things are scarce.
The self-made millionaires in my study “The Habits of the Rich” were capable of escape this scarcity trap and create enormous wealth.
How did they do it? How did they make the transition from a lifetime of deprivation to a lifetime of abundance?
