The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind (secular)

Introduction
Don’t just read this book.  Study it as if your life depended on it.  When it comes to money this may be the most important book you’ve ever read

It all comes down to this: if your subconscious “financial blueprint” is not “set” for success, nothing you learn, nothing you know, and nothing you do will make much of a difference.  This is the answer.  It’s simple, it’s law, and you’re not going to circumvent it.

You will learn powerful declarations that will help you support your non supportive ways of thinking with mental wealth files so that you think – and succeed – just as rich people do. 

I was almost obsessed with becoming a success.  I worked my butt off but kept coming up short.

Nothing was working…at least for me.  And it was the last part of the sentence that finally struck me.  How come others were succeeding in the exact same business I was in and I was still broke?

Even though I said I really wanted to be rich, I had some deep rooted worries about it.  Mostly, I was afraid.  Afraid that I might fail, or worse, succeed and then somehow lose it. 

Got advice from an extremely rich friend of my fathers.  “Harv, if you’re not doing as well as you’d like, all that means is theres something you don’t know.  Did you know that rich people think in very similar ways?  It’s not an exact science but for the most part rich people think in a certain way and poor people think in a completely different way, and those ways of thinking determine their actions and therefore determine their results.” 

He went on, “If you thought the way rich people do and did what rich people do, do you believe you could become rich too?”  Then all you have to do is copy how rich people think. 

I threw myself wholeheartedly into studying rich people and how they think.  I learned everything I could about the inner workings of the mind but concentrated primarily on the psychology of money and success.  I discovered that it was true: rich people really do think differently than poor and even middle-class people.  I became aware of how my own thoughts were holding me back from wealth.  More important, I learned several powerful techniques and strategies to actually recondition my mind so that I would think in the same ways rich people do. 

I began using what I learned by modeling rich people, both in terms of their business strategies and their thinking strategies.  The first thing I did was commit to my success and playing to win.  I swore that I would focus and not consider leaving this business until I was a millionaire or more.  This was radically different from my previous efforts, where, because I always thought short term, I would constantly get sidetracked by either good opportunities or when things got tough.

I also began challenging my mental approach whenever I began thinking in financially negative or counterproductive ways.  I learned that in many ways, my mind was my biggest obstacle to success.  I chose not to entertain thoughts that did not empower me toward my vision of wealth. 

In teaching my seminars, I noticed you could have two people sitting side by side in exactly the same room, learning the exact same principles and strategies.  One would take these tools and skyrocket to success.  But the other would end up not doing much. 

That’s when it became obvious that you can have the greatest tools in the world, but if you’ve got a tiny leak in your toolbox (I’m pointing to my head right now), you’ve got a problem.  So I designed a program called the MM Intensive based on the inner game of money and success.  When I combined the inner game (the toolbox) with the outer game (the tools), virtually everybody’s results went through the roof!  So that’s what you’re going to learn in this book: how to master the inner game of money to win the game of money – how to think rich to get rich!

All my investments and business ventures seem to skyrocket!  Some people say I have the “Midas touch,” where everything I get involved in turns to gold.  Having a MT is just another way of saying, having a “financial blueprint” set for success, which is exactly what you will have once you learn these principles and do this work. 

“It’s not what we don’t know that prevents us from succeeding; it’s what we know that just ain’t so that is our biggest obstacle.”  This book is not so much about learning, it’s about “unlearning”!  It is essential that you recognize how your old ways of thinking and acting have gotten you exactly where you are right now. 

The lesson is simple.  If you want to move to a higher level of life, you have to be willing to let go of some of your old ways of thinking and being and adopt new ones. 

Part One – Your Money Blueprint
Just as there are “outer” laws of money, there are “inner” laws.  The outer laws include things like business knowledge, money management and investment strategies.  These are essential.  But the inner game is just as important.  An analogy would be a carpenter and his tools.  Having top of the line tools is imperative but being the top-notch carpenter who masterfully uses those tools is even more critical.

Its not enough to be in the right place at the right time.  You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time. 

What is your ability to act in spite of fear, in spite of worry, in spite of discomfort, in spite of inconvenience?  Can you act when you’re not in the mood?

The fact is that your character, your thinking, and your beliefs are a critical part of what determines the level of your success. 

The key to success is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. 

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:  Your income can grow only to the extent that you do.

If you come into money when you’re not ready for it on the inside, the chances are your wealth will be short lived and you will lose it. 

The vast majority of people simply do not have the internal capacity to create and hold on to large amounts of money and the increased challenges that go with more money and success. 

Most lottery winners originally return to their original financial state, the amount they can comfortably handle.

When self-made millionaires lose their money, they usually have it back within a short time.  (Donald Trump)

Even though some self-made millionaires may lose their money, they never lose the most important ingredient to their success: their millionaire mind.  In the “Donald’s” case, it’s his “billionaire” mind.  Do you realize Donald T could never be a millionaire?  DT’s financial “thermostat” is set for billions, not millions.  Most people’s financial thermostat is set for generating thousands, not millions of dollars; some peoples financial thermostat is set for generating hundreds, not even thousands, and some peoples are set for below zero.

(80% of people will never be as financially free or as happy as they’d like to be) The reason is simple.  Most people are unconscious.  They are a little asleep at the wheel.  They work and think on a superficial level of life – based only on what they can see.  They live strictly in the visible world.

Imagine a tree that represents the tree of life which contains fruits.  In life, our fruits are called our results.  So we look at the fruits (our results) and we don’t like them; there aren’t enough of them, they’re too small, or they don’t taste good.  So what do we tend to do?  Most of us put even more attention and focus on the fruits, our results.  But what is it that actually creates those particular fruits?  It’s the seeds and the roots that create those fruits. 

It’s whats under the ground that creates whats above the ground.  Its whats invisible that creates whats visible.  So what does that mean?  It means that 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:  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.

What you cannot see in this world is far more powerful than anything you can see.  To the extent that you do not apply this principle in your life, you will suffer.  Why?  Because you are going against the laws of nature, whereby what is under the ground creates what is above the ground, where what is invisible creates what is visible. 

When we align with the laws of nature and work on our roots – our inner world – our life flows smoothly.  When we don’t, life gets rough.

Placing your attention on the fruits that you have already grown is futile.  You cannot change the fruits that are already hanging on the tree.  You can however, change tomorrow’s fruits.  But to do so, you will have to dig below the ground and strengthen the roots. 

One of the most important things you can ever understand is that we do not live on only one plane of existence.  We live in at least four different realms at once – these four quadrants are the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual worlds.  What most people never realize is that the physical realm is merely a printout of the other three.

The real problem (our results) cannot be changed in the “printout”, the “physical” world; it can only be changed in the “program,” the mental, emotional and spiritual worlds. 

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.

Have you ever heard someone complain that lack of money was a problem?  Now hear this: A lack of money is never, ever, ever a problem.  A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath. 

Lack of money is the effect, but what is the root cause?  It boils down to this.  The only way to change your “outer” world is to first change your “inner” world.  Whatever results you are getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world.  If things aren’t going well in your outer life, its because things aren’t going well in your inner life.  Its that simple. 

DECLARATIONS: A POWERFUL SECRET FOR CHANGE
What’s a declaration?  It’s simply a positive statement that you make emphatically, out loud.

Why are declarations such a valuable tool?  Because everything is made of one thing: energy.  All energy travels in frequencies and vibrations.  Therefore, each declaration you make carries its own vibrational frequency.  When you state a declaration aloud, its energy vibrates throughout the cells of your body, and by touching your body at the same time, you can feel its unique resonance.  Declarations not only send a specific message to the universe (spiritual world), they also send a powerful message to your subconscious mind. 

An affirmation is “a positive statement asserting that a goal you wish to achieve is already happening.”  The definition of a declaration is “to state an official intention to undertake a particular course of action or adopt a particular status.”

I recommend that you state your declarations aloud each morning and each evening.  Doing your declarations while looking into a mirror will accelerate the process even more. 

WHAT IS YOUR MONEY BLUEPRINT AND HOW IS IT FORMED?

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:  Give me five minutes and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life.

In a short conversation, I can identify what’s called your money and success “blueprint.”  Each of us has a personal money and success blueprint already embedded in our subconscious mind.  And this blueprint, more than anything else and everything else combined, will determine your financial destiny.  Your money blueprint is simply your preset program or way of being in relation to money. 

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

Your financial blueprint consists of a combination of your thoughts, feelings and actions in the arena of money. 

So how is your money blueprint formed?  The answer is simple.  Your financial blueprint consists primarily of the information or “programming” you received in the past, and especially as a young child.  Every child is taught how to think about and act in relation to money.

You were taught how to think and act when it comes to money.  These teachings become your conditioning, which becomes automatic responses that run you for the rest of your life.  Unless, of course, you intercede and revise your mind’s money files.

Your thoughts originate from the “files of information” you have in the storage cabinets of your mind.  So where does this information come from?  It comes from your past programming.  That’s right, your past conditioning determines every thought that bubbles up in your mind. 

To reflect this understanding, we can now revise our Process of Manifestation in the following manner:  Your PROGRAMMING leads to your THOUGHTS, your THOUGHTS lead to your FEELINGS, your FEELINGS lead to YOUR ACTIONS.   Your ACTIONS lead to your RESULTS.

PROGRAMMING –  THOUGHTS  –  FEELINGS  –  ACTIONS  –  RESULTS.

Therefore, just as done with a personal computer, by changing your programming, you take the first essential step to changing your results.

So how are we conditioned?  We are conditioned in three primary ways in every arena of life, including money: 1) Verbal programming – what did you HEAR when you were young?  2)  Modeling – What did you SEE when you were young?  Specific incidents – What did you EXPERIENCE when you were young?

(In Part 2 of this book, you will learn how to recondition yourself for wealth and success.)

THE FIRST INFLUENCE: VERBAL PROGRAMMING
What did you hear about money, wealth, and rich people when you were growing up?  Did you ever hear phrases like “money is the root of all evil”, “save your money for a rainy day”, “you have to work hard to make money”, “you can’t be rich and spiritual”, “filthy rich”, “rich people are greedy or criminals”, “that’s not for people like us”, “there never seems to be enough”, “not everyone can be rich”, and the infamous “WE CAN’T AFFORD IT”.

Here’s the point – all the statements that you heard about money when you were young remain in your subconscious mind as part of the blueprint that is running your life.  Verbal conditioning is extremely powerful. 

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

By digging out this massive, toxic weed from my inner “financial garden”, I began getting inundated with more fruits!  Virtually the day after I reconditioned myself, the stocks I chose began to boom, and I’ve continued to have amazing success in the stock market ever since.

Again, your SUBCONCIOUS CONDITIONING determines your THINKING.

Your THINKING determines your DECISIONS.

Your DECISIONS determine your ACTIONS.

Which eventually determine your OUTCOMES.

SUBCONCIOUS CONDITIONING –  THINKING  –  DECISIONS  –  ACTIONS  –  OUTCOMES

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 second 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 to keep it or let it go.

The fourth element of change is RECONDITIONING – we will begin this process in part 2 of this book, where we will introduce you to the mental files that contain wealth.  Our MM Intensive Seminars rewire your subconscious on a cellular and permanent level – retraining your mind to respond supportively in terms of money and success.

The elements of frequency and ongoing support are also important for lasting change to occur – subscribe to the MM “thought of the week” (www.millionairemindbook.com)

THE SECOND INFLUENCE: MODELING
What were your parents or guardians like in the arena of money when you were growing up?  (Did they manage money well?  Were they spenders or savers?  Were they shrewd investors or non-investors?  Risk takers or conservative?  Was money consistently there or not?  Did it come easily or was it always a struggle?  Was money a source of joy or a cause of bitter arguments?

Why is this information important?  You’ve probably heard the saying “monkey see, monkey do.”   Well, humans aren’t far behind.  As kids, we learn just about everything from modeling.  There’s more than a grain of truth to the old saying, “The apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.”  Generally speaking, we tend to be identical to one or a combination of our parents in the arena of money. 

Thank goodness I learned these principles and was able to recondition myself out of that “yo-yo” model and into having a consistently growing income. 

“…there’s nothing wrong with me.  I just had my dad’s money blueprint stuck in my mind and that’s been my nemesis.”

Again, you can have all the knowledge and skills in the world, but if your “blueprint” isn’t set for success, you’re financially doomed.   Now that you’ve formulated a success blueprint, everything you’ve ever learned will become usable and you will skyrocket to success.

A word of wisdom: Saving for a rainy day may sound like a good idea, but it can create big problems.  Another key principle is the “power of intention” – if you’re saving your money for a “rainy day”, what are you going to get?  Rainy days!  Stop doing that!  Instead of saving for a rainy day, save for a joyous day or for the day you will win your financial freedom.  Then, by virtue of the “law of intention”, that’s exactly what you will get. 

On the flip side of the coin, some of us end up being the opposite of one or both parents.  Why would that happen?  Do the words anger and rebellion ring a bell?
