"Having a scarce mindset is a roadblock to success." But that doesn't always apply to everyone, Yermi says. In fact, there are tons of successful people who have a scarcity mindset. So really, what contributes to success? First, we must acknowledge that it's not all about money.

About Yermi Kurkus:
Yermi Kurkus was born and raised in a Jewish Orthodox community in Montreal, Canada, that put a lot of emphasis on outreach and being a productive member of society. As a child, Yermi really took to this community work and outreach. His parents and teachers told him that he could one day help people for a living as a legitimate way of earning a livelihood.
At the time, Yermi didn't really know what that meant. At first, Yermi figured that a doctor was someone that helps people for a living. So, he tried his hand at medicine, volunteering as an EMT and getting all the way to pre-med. There he realized that medicine was not going to be the way for him to "help people for a living". That is when he transferred into business; coming from an entrepreneurial family, he was going to find a way to help other entrepreneurs through business. In 2010, Yermi's wife at the time left him, took the kids, his mother passed away, and the business that he built was forced to shut down all in just 10 short days. Yermi was devastated; his entire life was falling apart in his hands. Over the course of the next 18-20 months, Yermi went to get the help that he needed and decided to volunteer his time in the prison system as community service and as a way of being a productive member of society. It was in the Prison System where Yermi discovered his love and passion for Psychology and considered becoming a therapist.
