Book Review - Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth by T. Harv Eker
Do you think like a millionaire? Just how does a millionaire think and what is the mental process used to attract wealth into their lives? T. Harve Eker tells you how to determine your "financial blueprint" which in turn determines your success in creating wealth. Once you are aware of the thoughts you continually think, your inner dialogue, Eker tells you in detail, step by step, how to change this to create the mind set you want. You can literally program yourself for financial success with these methods.
You may be programmed for failure right from the start by events from your childhood or the past. How did your parents and family talked about money and rich people? Did you ever hear as a child "Rich people are greedy" "The rich get rich and the poor get poorer" "Money doesn't grow on trees" "You work hard and then you die" or "Why make more money-you'll just have to pay more taxes." Do any of these sound familiar?
When I thought about my own childhood, I realized that my parents had both told me by word and example that money was hard to come by. You have to work hard for money, maybe at a job you don't like. I learned you CAN accomplish financial freedom but you have to pay a price for it. Making lots of money is never easy! These are part of my financial blueprint that I had to learn to change.
If you have an inner dialogue that tells you rich people are bad or that money is hard to come by, Eker tells you how to overcome years of thought conditioning and replace old thoughts with new ones which will help you to your goals.. He tells you if you want to be rich, you must admire and like rich people-or you will never be one of them. Eker himself used to believe the rich were snobs-until he got to personally know some of those who had money. To make his own fortune, Eker opened one of the first retail fitness stores in North America which he grew to include 10 stores in only two and a half years.
This book digs deep into your beliefs about money and rich people. If you want to feel you are a victim of circumstances or that fate is against you, this book isn't for you. If you want to feel empowered to direct your own financial destiny and are open to changing your thoughts, then Eker explains in everyday language, just how to do that.
Eker also tells you that if you are married, you and your spouse should discuss your beliefs about money and your own "financial blue-prints" because if you have opposite beliefs about money, creating wealth will be much harder, if not impossible. Instead resolve to create a separate financial blueprint for you as a couple. Post this blueprint where you can see it and when discussions about money come up-instead of getting emotional or angry, calmly point to the blueprint you both agreed upon.
This book really helped me to see how and why my spouse and I might have different approaches to our finances and how to change that for the better.
In his book, Eker explains the "Wealth Files" or 17 specific ways that millionaires think differently than those who have no money. He also tells you how you can revise your thinking patterns so that you too can think like a millionaire. Once you revise your thinking, he tells you how to continually grow and expand that thinking.
Eker gives assignments to help you along the way, like spending one week not complaining but instead being grateful for what you have. If a rich person complained because he got a scratch on his yaut, who would care, says Eker. Rich people talk about the next big deal or the next new stock investment. They think money and they believe in their own ability to attract money. Even if they should lose all their fortune, soon they can make it back again because they believe they can.
While Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is not a book about the Law of Attraction, per se, T. Harv Eker does explain that how you think, the energy and beliefs you hold, are what create your financial reality. If you want to be a complainer and a victim, this is what you will attract more of. However, if you confidnelty build your financial blueprint, think, act and believe like a wealthy person, the ideas and opportunities will flow to you, helping you create the life you want.
What's more, Eker's book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind explains step by step just how to accomplish this and how you too can have a Millionaire Mind.
