I disagree with you. Having a strong belief that you can make it goes a very long way. Mindset is everything. Focus on you and forget about everyone else.
Out of curiosity, how old are you? I’m mid 30s and I tend to get that reply from people younger than me. Mindset is important but it doesn’t overcome a lot of barriers.
$1m/year is about $83k/month, or about $350/hour (Assuming you work every day of the year). Let’s stop there for a second. To earn a million per year, you’d need to earn $30k more, per month, than the average Canadian (My current home country) per year. Your easily in the top 5% of earners, and likely the top 1% if you remove ultra high network. It’s rare.
To abstract, I know a handful of lawyers that would bring in a million per, and they are all partners. So they have extensive schooling, which in most countries means debt. The ability to even qualify for that debt would block a huge swathe of people in certain regions. Assuming you did get the loan (Or even better, your parents footed the bill which puts you in another bracket entirely), you then have to have the mindset to become a lawyer and the personality to become a partner to reach a million. Most people with a solid mindset can become lawyers, but not all lawyers have the ability to become partners. However, even an average lawyer could, with a good mindset, reach the $250k/year region.
In my own realm, tech, I can comfortably earn $100k/year from any of SaaS applications, and do. It’s $8k/month/app. Easily doable by pretty much anyone. But scaling that to a million is an extremely different prospect, regardless of my mindset. It’s not just about adding clients, there a myriad of factors that start to apply. It’s non-linear.
Which is basically the core of my point, the further you move up the scale, the less likely it is to happen regardless of how much you want, wish, grind or meditate on it. It’s essential probability, you need so much to go right, that your chances are already extremely low. So, to me, it’s better to set your sights on achievable goals, achieve them, then calculate your next move. Too many people fail, in my experience, because they set out to win a marathon (Million/year+), rather than get comfortable at 5km first.
