Mindset is defined as having a set of beliefs or thinking that determines someone outlook on life. Well this post is going to discuss the poor mindset. Here all 5 signs you and/or someone you know has a poor mindset. 1. They talk about other people not ideas. 2. They think small. 3. They have no goals nor ambition.  Product of the Post Before I go, I would like to recommend a book that I have heard about and checked of my local public library. Rich Dad, Poor Dad   by Robert T.
