You can work incredibly hard, build real success, and still feel like it could all fall apart.That feeling is not fear. It is feedback. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, William Lam explains why many people can build success through effort, discipline, and strategy, yet still struggle to make wealth last. The problem is not a lack of motivation, belief, or intelligence. It is the unseen mental patterns that quietly decide whether success compounds or eventually collapses. William breaks down why generational wealth disappears, how these patterns get passed down, and what actually allows wealth to stabilize, grow, and endure over time. If you want success that expands instead of resetting, this episode will change how you think about building wealth for the long term.
