About Rich Abbott
Wealth Psychology for Real People
Author, educator, and founder of Rich Abbott Media — helping people break the hidden beliefs that keep them financially stuck and build wealth that actually lasts.
From Scarcity to Abundance
Born Leslie Richard Abbott in Tisdale, Saskatchewan, Rich’s early life was marked by hardship — growing up in foster homes, experiencing food insecurity, and learning to be content with very little. These experiences created deep-rooted scarcity beliefs that would take decades to recognize and overcome.
Like many who grew up in challenging circumstances, Rich was taught that getting a job and being grateful for what you have was the path to security. Entrepreneurial thinking was discouraged. Early business ventures ended in losses, reinforcing limiting beliefs about money and success that felt like facts rather than programs.
The Turning Point
Rich spent his early years in various roles — always working hard but never building wealth. A significant turning point came when he discovered something that changed everything: he could achieve anything he set his mind to.
This realization transformed his self-esteem and opened new possibilities. He went on to earn a degree in Biblical Studies, served in pastoral leadership for over a decade, built two log homes with his own hands, studied web design, ecommerce, and affiliate marketing, and eventually began the deep work of understanding why intelligent, hardworking people stay financially stuck.
The answer, he discovered, was almost never about money. It was about identity.
The Real Problem With Money
After years of study Rich arrived at a truth that most financial education ignores entirely: your financial results don’t reflect your effort or your intelligence. They reflect your financial identity.
What you unconsciously believe you deserve. What feels normal to you. The stories about money you absorbed before you were old enough to question them.
You can know exactly what to do financially and still find yourself doing the opposite. Not because you lack discipline — because your internal thermostat keeps resetting you to what feels familiar.
That thermostat can be reset. That identity can be rebuilt. That is what Rich Abbott Media exists to teach.

What Rich Abbott Teaches
- ✓ Wealth is a tool — neutral, powerful, and available to anyone willing to do the inner work
- ✓ Scarcity thinking is learned — and can be deliberately unlearned
- ✓ You cannot give what you don’t have — building wealth creates capacity to help others
- ✓ Lowering your standards serves no one — prosperity allows you to be a greater force for good
- ✓ The wealth mindset is available to everyone — regardless of your starting point
- ✓ Nice people don’t have to stay broke — generosity and financial success are not opposites
