I would replace “attitude” with “worldview”. I think that’s what this quote is really getting at because worldview dictates attitude.
(Please note I’m about to make some generalizations and simplify some complicated things. Please read the following in good faith, grain of salt, etc.)
Having also grown-up poor with parents who only finished high school, and one barely at that, my worldview was one of scarcity and viewing education and success with suspicion. I’ve since changed that. But you can see how that worldview would hobble someone who’s trying to create a successful business.
If someone’s worldview was that there’s always enough, and success is inevitable given enough effort, luck, and help, they would never give up. They would happily gain whatever knowledge and skills were necessary because they knew they would succeed.
Is it possible that your worldview is hobbling you? Or, success includes luck and maybe you’ve just been unlucky.
