Product Description
SECRETS OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND reveals the missing link between wanting success and achieving it! 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! 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 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. In Part II 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. If you are not doing as well financially as you would like, you will have to change your money blueprint. Unfortunately your current money blueprint will tend to stay with you for the rest of your life, unless you identify and revise it, and that's exactly what you will do with the help of this extraordinary book. According to T. Harv Eker, it's simple. If you think like rich people think and do what rich people do, chances are you'll get rich too!

 Recreate Your Financial Self-Image March 23, 2005

This is a great book, because it starts with allowing readers to explore their subconscious, childhood money messages that are sabotaging their chance of being wealthy.
The theme is written from the premise of your worthiness thoughts lead to your actions which lead to your circumstances.
"Wealthy." The meaning of "wealthy" indicates a great deal about who you are.
The wealthy at country clubs talk about a person's net worth. The middle class at other environments talk about the raise. And the poor talk about making it.
One of the most hilarious parts to this book is the example of what happens when someone says, "Oh! Money is not that important."
T. Harv Eker's reaction is to tap the palm of his hand on his forehead as he say's, "Oh! I get it. You're broke!"
To do this, without regard for whose around and what the social situation is, would definitely be life altering for the person who says that money is not important. (I actually can't imagine someone doing this in any situation other than if they are presenting a motivational workshop, where they are in charge.
But, nonetheless, imagining this happening was funny.
Beyond humor, this book compares the rich to the poor with these assertions:
1. Rich people believe "I create my life." Poor people
believe, "Life happens to me."
2. Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people
play the money game to not lose.
3. Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people
want to be rich.
4. Rich people think big. Poor people think small.
5. Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus
on obstacles.
6. Rich people admire other rich and successful people.
Poor people resent rich and successful people.
7. Rich people associate with positive, successful
people. Poor people associate with negative or
unsuccessful people.
8. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their
value. Poor people think negatively about selling and
promotion.
9. Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor
people are smaller than their problems.
10. Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are
poor receivers.
11. Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor
people choose to get paid based on time.
12. Rich people think "both." Poor people
think "either/or."
13. Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people
focus on their working income.
14. Rich people manage their money well. Poor people
mismanage their money well.
15. Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor
people work hard for their money.
16. Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear
stop them.
17. Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people
think they already know.
This is a great book because with each assertion T. Harv Eker gives excellent real life scenarios, as well as experiences that he has live through.

If you are thinking about buying this book, then you obviously would like to be a millionaire.
Do you actually like millionaires and respect what they have achieved, or do you resent them for what they have, or think rich people are bad?
If you resent them then you may have have a poor person's attitude to wealth, and think that by becoming wealthy you may turn into that very thing you despise, and accordingly sabotage yourself subconsciously.
Make no mistake, this is a very good book, with proven formulas that work. For example, thoughts, feeling, actions = results. Rich people focus on opportunities, poor people focus on obstacles.
As you read this book, you will discover many interesting insights into how to become wealthy. You will also discover the mindsets of rich people compared to poor people. It is very illuminating to see the connection between how people think and how they do.
For example, I have a friend who is quite spiritual, yet his attitude towards money is if I win the lottery, I would give most of it away, as I would feel guilty having all that money. What a limiting belief to have.
If you're like me then reading through the contrasting mindsets of rich people and poor people will be most illuminating. For exmaple when I read that 'poor people focus on problems, rich people focus on opportunities, I totally changed my mindset, it has become my mantra, and using it has enabled me to look beyond the problem which may or may not be real, and to go for the opportunity.
I also highly recommend Think and grow rich by Napoleon Hill, which as far as I am concerned is the ultimate work on this subject.
Hope you find this helpful.
An excellent starting point July 20, 2007

This is the latest in a bunch of books I've been reading in the past year to improve my financial skills. While I've been reading up on more solid things such as investment, managing the money I already have, and other financial planning-related topics, it's also good now and then to read a book that addresses the attitudes I have towards money, which do directly affect how I handle it.
I found this to be an incredibly valuable book for that reason. Eker doesn't tell you how to invest in real estate or play the stock market--in fact, he doesn't even give you specific suggestions for what to do with your money. What he does sdo is address how you think and feel about money, and gives a holistic approach to your finances.
Much of the book is spent examining specific attitudes that can make or break you financially. For example, Eker shows how people who are financially successful tend to look at problems from a solution-oriented viewpoint, instead of getting bogged down in the problems themselves. He strongly advocates avoiding the victim mentality that often leads people to do nothing but complain about their situation rather than apply more creative thinking--the biggest offenders are blame (someone else), justifying (why you are where you are, and still not doing anything about it) and complaining (again, instead of doing something about it). Much of the book serves to undo these three components of the victim complex in relation to finances. Additionally, he goes to great length to demonstrate how the attitudes we were raised with affect how we view money--if we're raised with parents who act as if money is evil, then our attitudes are likely to be the same.
The author clearly uses neurolinguistic programming as a tool for undoing these harmful attitudes. He talks about anchoring and modeling, and shows how they can be incredibly effective. Those who are familiar with NLP should find some very familiar material here. He also includes a number of affirmations and exercises designed to help imprint the reader with the idea that s/he can succeed and overwrite the bad conditioning that keeps hir in the same old patterns.
However, this isn't a pie in the sky kind of "If you think it, it will happen" book. He's quite honest about the fact that finances are hard work, especially if you do as he recommends and become self-employed. The bigger the outcome, the bigger the risk, and he tells stories of how inbetween successes he worked minimum wage jobs. However, he also explains that the people who are successful are the ones that learn to bounce back from setbacks.
Probably the single most important piece of advice Eker gives is on page 68: "I know it may be hard to believe, but you always get what you want--what you subconsciously want, not what you say you want". The problem with books like these is that people look at the surface of the problem, but not the iceberg underneath. Used as intended, the material and exercises in this book will serve to start uprooting some of the stuff under the surface that can help deprogram the internal saboteur.
Obviously no single book can fix all your problems. However, if you're just getting interested in finances, or if you think money is all evil and bad (and then complain about how you're always broke) this is an excellent starting point.
A Must Read! It will turn your life around! March 3, 2005

My wife and I bless T Harv Eker for turning our lives around in 2003.
I am flabbergasted as to why a few bitter people post such venomous attacks on him. It seems that any talk of money brings out both the best and absolute worst in people.
Perhaps the "negative nellies" are angry because they didn't have the strength to get off their butts and actually follow Harv's teaching? What other reason could there be for such attacks?
My wife and I first took Harv's Millionaire Mind Intensive back in 2003. At that point we were in dire straights. I had lost my job as a Boeing engineer a few months earlier and my wife was struggling with cancer. Our health insurance was about to run out. We were in danger of losing everything. House. Cars. Retirement savings. Everything.
To put it bluntly, our financial situation was critical.
Then my brother-in-law paid for our admission to the Millionaire Mind Intensive because it had had a huge impact on his life.
We were skeptical at first but decided very quickly to attend. What did we have to lose but a weekend?
To make a long story short, the 3 day seminar turned our lives around. Harv went deep into our issues around money. He helped us to see how we sabotage ourselves financially. He helped us to heal our relationships with money so that we would attract and keep it instead of repelling it.
It was like the difference between night and day.
Very quickly we started taking action to correct our situation instead of just sitting on our behinds worrying and griping. Within a year things had turned around completely. By then I had started my own company and my wife had recovered enough to start a dream of hers about investing in rental properties.
Today we both pull in a good income. Our bills are covered and we have lots of fun money too from using Harv's incredible money management system.
So buy this book! Then take action and do what Harv says.
At the seminar two other books were also highly recommended. We bought both and it paid off big time. One is How to Own Your Home Years Sooner by Harj Gill. My wife has used it to make big dollars in real estate. The other book is only available from www.antiventurecapital.com , and I used it to start a real business on only $500.
Thank you Harv for your lessons and for sharing other people's lessons with us as well.
Ignore the nasty people and gamble the $13. You will be forever grateful that you did.
God bless!
How Your Mindset Sets up your Financial results January 18, 2006

Truly an outstanding book! It made me think about what I already knew in new and creative ways. Aside from the great contrast between the financial mindset of the rich vs. the consistenly poor, there were two concepts that effected me. First was how our beliefs and assumptions about ourselves create a "thermostat" that tends to keep us at a certain financial level. Then, building on that, how those beliefs and assumptions can be modified so that our results tend towards a new, higher level.
