Absolutely yes... I would say that any note worthy literature on the topic would have a section on "mind set". Because you truly re-wire your brain to think differently aside from the normal way of making money which is to get a job working for someone 9-5 40+ hrs/wk and that's how life is supposed to be right?... depending on who you ask but I say NO! Unless you were born with the entrepreneurial spirit and even still you have to work at thinking differently rather than the "employee" mindset. This is when the magic happens, when you're unconscious mind takes starts teaching you how to succeed. I don't look at my time in hours but rather in production value.
