There was a time when you wouldn’t have admitted that there was anything you couldn’t get.

The speaker recalls a time when the listener would not acknowledge any limit on what could be obtained. That memory implies a contrast with the present. The line marks a change in confidence or willingness to admit limits, without explaining what brought that change about.
