A brief YouTube Shorts clip by Peter Vander Wall offering mindset advice for consultants scaling their businesses. The speaker warns against equating higher income with superior moral character, reminding listeners that money is a measure of one’s ability to earn and retain it, not of virtue—and that wealthy people can be unethical while less wealthy people can have admirable character.

The mindset mistake you'll be tempted to make as you scale your consulting firm to 20, 50, 100k a month. And by the way, everybody experiences this as they start to make abnormal amounts of money. You start looking down on people who make normal amounts of money. And I've had to fight this as I scale my business. I keep reminding myself money is not a measure of your character, only a measure of your ability to make money and your ability to keep it. Plenty of rich people are dirtbags, and plenty of broke or normal people have very admirable character.
