Quite interesting! I once read a quote that said "Rich people aren't rich because they do certain things. Rich people are rich because they do things a certain way."
I think this quote goes hand-in-hand with your ideas. I recently started my own financial journey and I've found that being rich, like you said, is a mindset. Once the mindset is in place, you see opportunities everywhere.
The bit about the fish made me laugh but it's very true. I recently saw an opportunity to make money through trading by investing in someone else's training and then leveraging his knowledge. Hopefully it turns out well.
All in all, great piece.
