As a career success coach, I am a big believer in having an abundance mentality.  Put simply, an abundance mentality holds that there is enough of everything for everybody.  People who have an abundance mentality are good at building relationships.  They focus on what they can do for others, knowing that good things will come back to them.
The sixth point of The Optimist Creed is a good example of an abundance mentality in action.  It says: “Promise yourself to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.”
