In my experience, mindset is one of the most critical aspects, not only of entrepreneurship, but of life. I believe that most of the successes I've had were lessons I learned from failures, and the shift in perspective that happened.

If you could share the most valuable mental insight you've had as an entrepreneur, what would it be? For me, I think it would have to be this (something MJ talks about too):

  • If you want to increase your wealth, stop paying attention to how you will make money, and focus on how you will help others, what they need and what value you can create for other people.
