Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth Hardcover - T. Harv Eker

Have you ever wondered why some people seem to get rich easily, while others are destined for a life of financial struggle? Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck, or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments?

The shocking answer is: None of the above!

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind explains how people unconsciously develop rigid attitudes and behavioral patterns in their relationship to money that they learned from their parents – and that will determine their future wealth. It presents the key guiding principles and thought patterns that millionaires live by and anybody who wants to get rich should adopt.

In his groundbreaking Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states: "Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!" Eker does this by identifying your "money and success blueprint." We all have a personal money blueprint ingrained in our subconscious minds, and it is this blueprint, more than anything, that will determine our financial lives. You can know everything about marketing, sales, negotiations, stocks, real estate, and the world of finance, but if your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money—and if somehow you do, you will most likely lose it! The good news is that now you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success.

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is two books in one. 

Part I - Your Money Blueprint: This chapter explains how your money blueprint works. Through Eker's rare combination of street smarts, humor, and heart, you will learn how your childhood influences have shaped your financial destiny. You will also learn how to identify your own money blueprint and "revise" it to not only create success but, more important, to keep and continually grow it. It explains how each of us is conditioned to think and act when it comes to money and outline four key strategies for revising our mental money blueprint. 

We are conditioned in three primary ways:

1. Verbal Programming - What did you hear when you were young?  

2. Modeing - What did you see when you were young? and 

3. Specific incidents - What did you experience when you were young?

Steps for changing these; one need to go through - Awareness; Understanding; Disassociation, Declaration. 

Combine the inner game (the toolbox) with the outer game (the tools), results will go through the roof.  Dig out the massive, toxic weed from inner 'financial garden', get inundated with more fruits! 

Wealth Principle:

1. Give me five minutes and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life
2.  P-) T -)F-)A=R; Programming leads to Thoughts, Thoughts lead to feelings, Feelings lead to actions and actions lead to results. 
3. When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic, emotions will almost always win
4. If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes from a nonsupportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to 'prove' yourself, your money will never bring your happiness. (Don't plan to save for a raining day - you will attract rainy day in your life. Save for Joy days)
5. The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success 'permanently' is to reset your financial thermostat. 
6. Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past. 

Both the Midas touch and the kiss-of-death syndromes are nothing more than the manifestations of money blueprints. Entertain only those thoughts that empower you. 

Remember:

1 Specific thought patterns preprogram our wealth.

2 Our thought patterns are shaped by what our parents taught us about money.

3 We unconsciously reproduce the income strategies of our parents.

4 Before changing your way of thinking, perform a thorough inventory.

5 Breaking the pattern with new guiding principles and new behavior.

6 If you want to be rich, you have to learn to take fate into your own hands.

7 Future millionaires should have a positive attitude towards money.

8 You can only get rich if you give it your all.

9 Reach for the stars if you want to become a millionaire.

10 You can only make money grow when you handle it properly.

11 You have to think highly of yourself if you want to be successful and rich.

 

The key to success is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, bill 'em! . These four quadrants are the physical world, the mental world, the emotional world, and the spiritual world.

Mind is nothing more than a big file cabinet.  

Part II - The Wealth Files: you will be introduced to seventeen "Wealth Files," which describe exactly how rich people think and act differently than most poor and middle-class people. Each Wealth File includes action steps for you to practice in the real world in order to dramatically increase your income and accumulate wealth.

Declaration:

"I have a Millionaire Mind."

Place your hand on your heart and say:

  ~ T. Harv Eker (Author), ' Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth Hardcover'.

Keep your commitment. Remember, if you are not as successful as you want to be, there is something you do not know. 

~ W.H. Murray, during one of his Himalayan expedition:

'Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. '
