Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker

The Roots Create the Fruits

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
Money is a result, wealth is a result, health is a result, illness is a result, your weight is a result. We live in a world of cause and effect.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
Thoughts lead to feelings. Feelings lead to actions. Actions lead to results.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic, emotions will almost always win.

There are four key elements of change, each of which is essential in reprogramming your financial blueprint. They are simple but profoundly powerful.
The first element of change is awareness. You can’t change something unless you know it exists.
The second element of change is understanding. By understanding where your “way of thinking” originates, you can recognize that it has to come from outside you.
The third element of change is disassociation. Once you realize this way of thinking isn’t you, you can separate yourself from it and choose in the present whether to keep it or let it
go—based on who you are today, and where you want to be tomorrow. You can observe this way of thinking and see it for what it is, a “file” of information that was stored in your mind
a long, long time ago and may not hold any truth or value for you anymore.
The fourth element of change is reconditioning.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
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 you happiness.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
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.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
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.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
You can choose to think in ways that will support you in your happiness and success instead of ways that don’t.

Rich people believe “I create my life.”
Poor people believe “Life happens to me.”

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing “crap magnet.”


Rich people are committed to being rich.
Poor people want to be rich.

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want.

Rich people admire other rich and
successful people. Poor people resent rich
and successful people.
