Jay Shaw argues that wealth follows identity, not the other way around. A lottery winner returned to poverty because he never became a wealthy person mentally. Someone who lost everything rebuilt their fortune in five years because wealth creation was already who they were.
You can't have what you're not already being. Having isn't a finish line, it's a state. Watch a broke person win the lottery, and inside of 2 years they're broke again because they got the money without becoming the person who holds it. Watch a wealthy person lose everything and rebuild it in 5. Money is behavior. Behavior is identity. The number always finds its way back to the person. The having follows the being every single time. What are you trying to have before you've become it?
