This is maybe kinda true up to a point, but it's not really a full causal accounting. Most poor people are poor because they don't have enough money, and mindset alone won't help them get ahead.
I used to work a minimum wage job at a supermarket, and I didn't have any spare money to "create more opportunities with", even if I'd wanted to. The highest ROI thing I could do was invest in my education, but that would have been nearly impossible without the generous scholarships and grants I eventually received.
