Holding on to a poverty mentality can ruin your chances of building a successful business long term. A business that not only supports you while you’re working, but due to sound financial investments, is going to support you after you stop working and sell the business. Because smart people have an exit plan too.

• Change Your Environment – When you grow up in a certain class of society, everyone you know tends to have the same ideas. You all use the same slang, wear similar styles of clothing, eat the same foods, and style your hair alike. You may even have the same accents pronouncing or mispronouncing words based on your tradition and history. If you truly want to change how you think, immerse yourself in a new environment.
• Change Your Language – There is a specific language to poverty. “I can’t afford it,” “We don’t have the money for that,” and “That’s for other people, not us” is all about speaking the...
