A speaker who grew up poor in wealthy Kennebunkport, Maine describes a 27-year journey of reading and personal development driven by not wanting to stay poor. He argues mindset alone isn't enough: you need the right thoughts paired with actual action to build wealth.
want to be highly evolved and abundant, you know, have that really wealthy manifestation. Uh, that— I mean, that's one of the reasons why we do this, right? I mean, look, I grew up poor in a rich neighborhood, so I know what it's like to be in poverty among a whole bunch of people who have a lot of money. That's where I grew up, in Kennebunkport, Maine. So the point is that, uh, that wasn't okay with me. I really hated being poor. So that really was one of the things that drove me, uh, you know, throughout this whole process that I've been doing for over 27 years now. And, uh, you know, it started long, long before that when I started, you know, reading books before I ever became an author. But really, so again, mindset's important, but there's really a lot more to it.
I agree. I think the mindset is important, and I think when you're in the right mindset, it's about taking the aligned action along with it, or inspired action, to get the results as well.
