4 Mindsets That Will Boost Your Income

Developing a mindset that helps you acquire the basic necessities of life is not enough.

To do this, you have to take risks and put yourself out there.

For example, Bill Gates had to drop out of Harvard University to begin Microsoft. He was learning about technology, but if he didn’t change his mindset, he would have ended up with a 9–5 job. Bill developed the right mindset and became a partner in a company, and well, you know the rest.
