Toxic Mindsets That Impede Success – 2

“The Lott ery Mentality”

THE masses love the lottery because deep down they believe it’s their only chance to get rich. The fact is, they’re probably right. Not because they’re not capable, but because they don’t have faith in their own abilities, and their belief about money limit their financial success. It is extremely difficult to create sustainable wealth with the hope that some set of numbers would be rolled in your favour. Sustained success is not a product of random chance, luck or any set of Powerball figures.

It is always ideal and more profitable to have some set of entrepreneurial skill, vision and goal, so that if peradventure, your expected set of lucky numbers do come through, the fund can be used for a viable business that would afterwards create a substantial return.I am not against the lottery, obviously, few have made a fortune out of it, but the concern is most of this money are not sustained, due to shortsightedness, lack of focus, goals and little or no entrepreneurial skill prior to winning. From an entrepreneurial point of view, each cents or rand used in playing, if saved overtime with a compounded interest should be enough to be used as a capital to start a profit yielding business. But in the mind of the player, this is inconsequential and too much a risk to take.
