Summary

Lisa Nichols shares how she hit rock bottom on government assistance, unable to afford diapers for her baby. She realized her mindset of scarcity from her upbringing was limiting her, and pledged to change her mental zip code. Nichols advises turning down the volume on your environment and listening to your heart to breakthrough conditioned assumptions of what someone like you can or can't achieve. Though she now earns in the top 1%, she recognizes the cultural habit to quickly give money away and wants to learn how to keep and grow wealth.
