Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
Eker, T. Harv. (2005) Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth. New York, NY. HarperCollins Publisher.
"If you are not doing as well as you'd like, all that means is there's something you don't know." (4)
"My own thoughts were holding me back from wealth [or whatever else...]." (5)
"This book is not as much about learning as it is about "unlearning"! It is essential you recognize how your old ways of thinking and acting have gotten you exactly where you are right now." (7)
"Your income can grow only to the extent you do!" (10)
"If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible." (12)
"You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree. You can, however, change tomorrow's fruits...[by] strengthen[ing] the roots." (13)
"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." (14)
"Your financial blueprint [your thoughts, feelings, and actions in regards to money] consists primarily of the information or "programming" you received in the past, and especially as a young child." (18)
(the chapter about this concept is quite interesting...and helpful.)
"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." (31)
"The biggest reason behind the fights people have about money is not the money itself, but the mismatch of their "blueprints." (see definition of blueprint above) (38)
"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" (45)
"Once you are conscious, you can see your programming for what it is: simply a recording of information you received and believed in the past, when you were too young to know any better...this conditioning is not who youare but who you learned to be." (46)
"No thought lives in your head 'rent-free.' [It is] either...an investment or a cost. It will either move you toward happiness and success or away from it...that is why it is imperative you choose your thoughts and beliefs wisely." (46)
"You are the one who creates your success...you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and ...you are the one creating your struggle around money and success. Consciously or unconsciously, it's still you." (54)
The comparison that money isn't as important as love is like saying your arm isn't as important as your leg. (57)
"What you focus on expands...When you are complaining, you become a living, breathing 'crap magnet.'...Negative energy is infectious." (58)
"What do people get out of being a victim?...attention....In some form or another...almost everyone lives for [attention because]...they've made a critical mistake...we've confused attention with love.
...When we [do this we] don't love each other in the true spiritual sense...[but] from a place of [our] own ego, as in "I love what you do for me." Therefore, the relationship is really about the individual, and not about the other person. By disconnecting attention from love, you will be freed up to love another for who they are" (61)
"The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want." (67)
"The universe will assist you, guide you, support you, and even create miracles for you. But first, you have to commit!" (71)
"If you want to be rich in the truest sense of the word, it can't only be about you It has to include adding value to other people's lives. (74)
"Research shows that the happiest people are those who use their natural talents to the utmost." (75)
"Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people." (86)
"We preach against covetousness...in the pulpit...and use the terms..."filthy lucre" so extremely that Christiams get the idea that ...it is wicked for any man to have money. Money is power, and you ought to be reasonably ambitious to have it! You ought because you can do more good with it than you can without it. Money printed your Bibles...builds your churches...sends your missionaries...If you can honestly attain unto riches...it is your godly duty to do so." (90)
"Rich people are grateful that others have succeeded before them so that they now have a blueprint to follow that will make it easier to attain their own success." (95)
"Energy is contagious: either you affect people or infect people." Examples of poisonous energy: "arguing, gossiping, and backstabbing...watching 'mindless' television..." (98-99)
"The secret to success...is not to try to avoid...problems; the secret is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than any problem." (106)
"Rich people are excellent "receivers." (111)
"If a hundred-foot oak tree had the mind of a human, it would only grow to be ten feet tall!" (114)
"If you are not doing as well as you'd like, all that means is there's something you don't know." (4)
