Evan:
I think the other important factor is temperament.
Speaking only for myself, my temperament has been and always will be "abstractnoid". EVEN if I was not involved in squirreling away IP's....my temperament has always floated to the top, kind of like....well, something.
That's not to say I have not trained myself well, and practiced and practiced at various things to achieve and be a means to an end, in areas I may not have particularly great strength(s).
Gina Reinhart is safe..
Almost guarantee anything I undertake, my innate personality, my temperament will be big on the journey.
Which is hilarious because Mr OO is concrete. He is the epitome of here and now, black is white, (because I said so!) and do it, just do it!!
...and yet he would never have got into investing if not for my soul searching, self development abstractnoidness. True.
PLayer!

With the focus on the forum of this 'mindset' stuff, why isn't there more mega wealthy millionaires on here.
I have a very wealthy friend with no 'mindset', he's hardly educated, he just turns up every day and has more front than KMart.
My opinion is it's overrated but that's just my opinion, everyone has one.
This mindset and motivation waffle is designed to make you feel like you are really achieving when you aren't doing nearly as much as you could be.
It doesn't happen in your mind, it happens with action.

The 1998 book, Choice Theory: A New Psychology of Personal Freedom, is the primary text for all that is taught by The William Glasser Institute. Choice theory states that:
•all we do is behave,
•that almost all behavior is chosen, and
•that we are driven by our genes to satisfy five basic needs: survival, love and belonging, power, freedom and fun
...and:
Relationships and our Habits
Seven Caring Habits---------- Seven Deadly Habits
1. Supporting --------------------1. Criticizing
2. Encouraging -------------------2. Blaming
3. Listening ----------------------3. Complaining
4. Accepting ---------------------4. Nagging
5. Trusting -----------------------5. Threatening
6. Respecting --------------------6. Punishing
7. Negotiating differences ---------7. Bribing, rewarding to control
The Ten Axioms of Choice Theory
1.The only person whose behavior we can control is our own.
2.All we can give another person is information.
3.All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems.
4.The problem relationship is always part of our present life.
5.What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future.
6.We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our Quality World.
7.All we do is behave.
8.All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology.
9.All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think.
10.All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is the most recognizable.
