QS 62: The Philosophy of Success: Real Estate

Then there’s the mindset, the philosophy, that’s the context. You can put the right opportunities in our life, but without context it will all slip away. We will all do what we can to protect what we have, and that’s a scarcity mindset. The modern world is abundant with opportunity, so we have to get over our scarcity mindset.
