Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker Full Review + Summary and Quotes

Book Summary

The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker shows the relationship people have with money and wealth. This book explains that some people get extremely large incomes by using money, but others waste it and remain without savings. They have alchemy while others lack proper knowledge about financial strategies. As the most general answer that can be given to the question posed at the beginning, luck does not have the slightest role in the financial destiny of people, rather, the unconscious thought patterns that have their roots in childhood and the training given to people constitute the intellectual structure of people, and they are related to their reformation.

Serious and rational decisions should be made. The patterns based on which we think and plan and perform actions are mainly formed in childhood. Now, where do these patterns come from? From the words that our parents say in different situations and dealing with different issues while raising their children and nest in our hearts, or the activities they do in order to earn money and also spend it, and these things are done by their sons and daughters. see and imitate unconsciously.

For example, if a family has experienced hard situations for various reasons and in the way of facing challenges, lack of finances has been one of the things that always make it suffer, it causes a mindset in its people, especially its children, that: Earning income and then saving it to solve livelihood problems is a very difficult task that humans have to accept. Now, on the contrary, consider the fact that the father of a 19 or 20-year-old young man has been a builder and salesman since his childhood, and his income has increased day by day with numerous transactions.

He makes a difference in his life and adds money to money like his father. After mentioning his examples, Eker encourages the audience to change inside and makes him understand that nothing will happen to him when the external conditions change. Eker continues his talk and begins to offer solutions such as replacing new thoughts and behaviors, not with a week or a month, but with continuous exercises such as verbal affirmations that should be done by a person until the end of his life.

Preparing a list of expenses and prioritizing them and even removing the items that are not necessary are other solutions that give direction and form to the mental structure of the decision maker. In addition to the mentioned issues, one of the most important issues that Eker points out with an extraordinary approach is that poor people think that it is not possible to have money and health, good mood and faith at the same time, and what an irreparable blow that They did not eat from this kind of thinking and of course other important points that you will be aware of by reading the book completely.

Book Quotes

If you want to reach a higher level of life, you must abandon some old ways of thinking and living and adopt new ways. The key to success is to increase your energy. When you do this, people will be attracted to you unconsciously, when they appeared, make money from them.

Most people don't have the capacity to earn and keep a lot of money and face the challenges of money and success, that's why they don't make a lot of money.

Do you really feel you deserve wealth? What is your ability to deal with fear, worry, adversity and discomfort? Can you act when you don't feel like it? The reality is that your personality, mindset, and beliefs are an important part of what determines your level of success.

Have you heard of those who have skyrocketed financially? Have you noticed how some people make a lot of money and then give it away or they get very good opportunities but their work ends up being awful? Now you know the main reason. In the outside world, they say bad luck, economic recession, a bad partner, or something like that, but in the inside world, it's something else. The reason is that when you reach a huge amount of money, you are internally ready for it.

This is a great read. I don’t know if it’s my heightened consciousness and the insatiable appetite for knowledge, but this is perhaps better than the books it quoted. It’s real and practical and outlined the limitations of poor mindset vs the richness of the abundance
mindset.
The one criticism of the book is that the author keeps promoting his marketing seminar, it’s as if the book is a cheap way to get people to take his course. It was a bit too much.

This book has great ideas and suggestions on becoming wealthy. I enjoyed reading this book and learnt much. Hopefully would put this suggestions to practice and lucrative use.

This book is hands down one of the best books on personal wealth that I’ve read to date, because it doesn’t focus per say on big ticket strategies to gain wealth, but on adjusting your character and mindset. I found myself nodding along and feeling so validated that my finances are a result of my financial programming - and that this programming can be changed!

I started reading this book first thing in the morning after meditating. It’s a pretty quickish read, and the exercises are simple, practical and effective. You really don’t know what you don’t know, and the paradigm shifting info in this book will help you close in on your wealth gaps/blocks quickly, and help you do the inner work to get the results you want.

This is my first read through, so I’m committing to doing a monthly reread until next October 2024 as suggested by the book, as well as programming the wealth files daily. I’ll update this post as I see new results. I really believe in Harv’s message and expertise - if you want to increase your wealth (regardless of where you are) - this is the place to start!

This is a great book for learning the mindset of millionaires. I know this as I work with hundreds of multi-millionaires and see the belief systems taught in this book in the behaviors and attitudes of my millionaire clients.

Enough said about the book... Let me tell you about the Live Seminar which is promoted in the book and which you are invited to go to for free with the coupon in the book. This T.Harv Eker MIllionaire Mind seminar is a HUGE Waste of Time!!!! I went to check it out as I have done seminars my whole life including many with the great Anthony Robbins, one of the greatest speakers of our time, Tony Robbins is a master of communication and teaching incredible skills and strategies for anything you want to achieve in life including financial wealth but this T. Harve Eker guy is not!!!....

T Harv Eker was only at his seminar for 1/2 a day of the 3 day seminar. When T. Harv did arrive he arrogantly came out on stage as if he was "The Man" and began to speak. I found he lacked creating any sort of rapport with the audience and never really connected with us. He would yell at people in the audience for leaving to go to the bathroom saying they were copping out by not staying in the room. And he would humiliate people with his comments. Its one thing to movitate someone with pain but what he did was not that at all. I noticed the audience reaction of getting a little ticked off at the guys comments as well as people just falling asleep during their hour long sales pitches. Many participants in the audience had a problem with the guy as they told me so themselves and resented being sold @ 10 times a day during the weekend. I had never been to a seminar where I heard so many bad comments about the speaker before.

Now myself I know every phychological sales technique there is and this guy and his staff used them to manipulate and intimidate people to buy more of his books, tapes and seminars yet most of his staff were not millionaires... The 3 day weekend seminar was a huge sales pitch! They would reveiw a few things from the book which we already knew then tell you for the next hour to hour and half about some sort of seminar they have. From there they would create a sense of scarcity and fear to manipulate people to run to the back of the room and buy their seminar for a $1,000 - $4,000 or more. In their sales pitch they would say... we have the most famous or the most well know in the financial area at this seminar to teach you yet they would never tell you the guest speakers names...very secretive. Why? If I was going to spend $4,000 for a seminar I want to know who is teaching me and if they are so famous and great then telling us who they are will inspire more people to sign up. I found out from someone who went to one of his other seminars that in order to make the money they teach you to make in these other seminars you need to invest money in T.Harvs business recommendations of which I think he most likely makes money from as well. Not sure but it would make sense.

I must have been pitched 20 or more different things at this seminar in 3 days. I felt like the whole weekend was a huge waste of my time and I was watching infomercials all weekend.

I got very little out of this weekend seminar for the Millionaire Mind that wasnt in the book. Now, knowing Anthony Robbins material inside out, I noticed much of what was taught at T. Harvs seminar was stolen from Anthony Robbins seminars yet Harv Eker acted as if it as his own. Even some personal stories seemed to be very similar to Tony Robbins personal stories. Hmmmmm.... Only one thing he taught he gave Anthony Robbins credit for and it was a very elementary thing ( the legs of belief). Everything else was pretty much Robbins work yet done ineffectively by T. Harv from my expert opinion. Even the way the audience was warmed up to the exact stretching sequence routine was Tony Robbins stuff at T. Harvs seminar. Much of the same music was played also. I mean come on that kind of stuff you can switch up.

When it was time to do mental imagery, Eker read it from a piece of paper with much of the techniques again were from Anthony Robbins, but Harv and his staff couldnt quite pull them off like Tony. I have done mental imagery with large groups of people and when you know your stuff you dont need a piece of paper to read from. If you have done it so much you have it memorized in your head and you taylor it to your audience. When reading the imagery exercises of his paper, T. Harv had no emotion in his vocal tone to inspire people into emotion for making the mental changes he wanted from them. It was unimpressive to say the least.

I was completely unimpressed with T.Harv Eker as a speaker. Lots of EGO with this guy which was a turn off to me and believe me I have sat through some poor seminars in the last 30 years so I speak from broad experience. I was completely disappointed from the man I thought I knew and liked from this good Millionaire Mind book with the real man himself.

As a writer, T. Harve Eker is good and he should just stick to that in my opinion and stop ripping off other speakers material and ineffectively appling it in seminar.

Dont waste your time or money on his Millionare Mind seminar. I felt like I should have been compensated for my wasted time and weekend. As a person who has attended allot of seminars in my life attaining certifications as well with great speakers and teachers such as Anthony Robbins, Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, John Grey, John Bradshaw, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, Louis Hay, Suzy Orman, Ken Blanchard... I can say from comparison "Skip the Millionaire Mind Seminar." Instead stay home and read the book again! Even better buy those books of the Writers/Speakers I list above and read them!

This book is about principles. Money principles that will spill into other domains of your life. If youre looking for a step by step action plan of how to become wealthy, this is definitely not the book. You wont walk away with a set of tools to begin implementing on your journey to wealth. He does make some recommendations like invest in real estate, start a network marketing business, go into sales, and even to continue in your profession as a business not as an employee. But it doesnt show you how to do those things and the author doesnt make the promise that youll do those things.

However, if you have struggled to earn more or keep more of what you earn, you might find the same thing I did: Our money blueprint, like a thermostat, will hold us back from earning more unless we understand what our money thermostat is set to, and more importantly, why its set where it is. This book has opened my eyes to much of the programming that has been running in my and my wifes subconscious. Within a matter of days after taking to heart the principles of this book, as if by magic, I started closing more sales, thinking about my business very differently, and lo and behold, having more cash in my bank (business and personal) than I ever had in my previous 15 years of marriage, or ever for that matter. I didnt have to attend his seminar, though many reviewers say this book is only a sales pitch to his seminar. I didnt start a new business, or go into network marketing (which has always been turned off).

I also didnt just sit my butt on the couch and vision-board my way to more money. Instead, I have worked my tail off in the last few months more than I have in years but Ive enjoyed it like never before, all while having more time with my wife and kids (both-and vs either-or).

I read and listened to the book 4 or 5 times now and continue to challenge my beliefs and attitudes about money and by doing that, changing how I show up for everything. For example, I had an unspoken belief that I dont deserve to earn more than minimum living standards, so even though I believe my businesss services are top tier, I showed up to sales with little to no energy and as if I didnt believe in my own service. If I did make sales, I somehow found ways to get rid of the money by hiring staff unnecessarily, or "investing" in things that didnt drive my personal or business growth forward. Like a thermostat that was set at a certain level, no matter how much came in, I figured out a way to get rid of it without even realizing why I was doing it so that I only had just above minimum living standards. But when I became aware of this belief, and realized it wasnt true, I started closing more sales, being more prudent with how I allocated my money, and noticing different opportunities within the business to improve and grow.

So who is this book for?

Its certainly not for those who will only see this book as a sales pitch for his seminar. Dont get me wrong, he mentions his workshop 1000 times in the book LOL! But if you cant see past that, and throw the baby out with the bathwater, than you might have some blind spots that need to be worked out before you pass judgement on this book. Again, I say this as someone who has ONLY read this book and not paid for any of this training, coaching, seminars, products, etc.

Its also not for anyone who is looking for something more than principles. This book teaches you high-level concepts about the wealth mindset of wealthy people and puts it in terms that anyone can understand. For example, most of us are taught to work hard for your money, some of us are taught to save, and few are taught to make your money work hard for you through investments. This was an eye-opener for my wife, but for me it wasnt. It was just a reminder of what I have already known. How to invest, who to go into business with, how to hire, which network marketing to join, how to ask for more money, get better at sales, manage your business, details about building out systems, none of that is addressed in detail in this book. For that, youll need to find additional resources from other authors. Unless T Harv Eker offers follow up books or "dip your toes in the water" low cost offers. As of this writing, I dont know if he offers any of these. I know for sure other authors provide you more detailed tools and tactical concepts not found in this book.

This book is for individuals who are stuck in their efforts to grow their wealth even when they have invested incredible amounts of time and money on pursuits that havent panned out. Its for anyone whos tired of working the hamster wheel and not sure how to get off.

This book is for you if you want to know how the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Hint: its not about opportunities --- though I wont deny that the wealthier you become, the more opportunities present themselves but I would counter that they have more opportunities because theyve acted upon previous opportunities and applied a positive money mindset to those opportunities.

May this book open the door to a whole new world that awaits you on the other side. Ive accumulated more money in the last 4 months, in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic, than I ever did during two prior bull markets and even when earning more money. May the principles of this book do tenfold and hundredfold for you as it has done for me, whether youre in your twenties and fresh out of college, like me entering your 40s and wondering if the work you do has any meaning, or in your sixties wondering if its too late.
Its NEVER too late. Unless you never take that first step.

Amazing book! I highly recommend it. Some of whats in the book Ive practiced before reading the book (It just made sense, but common sense is not so common anymore) and it works. Ive been able to save money as the T Harv suggests, but I learned much more and I look forward to attending his seminar, which is in European time, but I have to make it work some how. Thanks Harv!

As with anything, take what you need and leave the rest. This book does have some outdated techniques - join network marketing and the example of the lady living with her sister is not realistic for all. And yes, T. Harv encourages you to join his seminars often in the book. Even with those minor irritations, I would still recommend this book.

T. Harv gives excellent wealth principles for you to incorporate into your mindset. Some of them, I have heard of and others I have not. This book made me realize my mind was on autopilot designed for poverty or middle class at best. Some of the examples of how poor or middle class people think, where literally the thoughts playing in my mind. What I like most, is T. Harv gives an example of a bad thought and then gives an example of a good thought to replace the bad one with. There are also actions to take after each wealth principle.

I have already started incorporating the positive wealth principles in my mind. I can not wait to see my results. Wealth & Prosperity to us all.

The book arrived on time and was just as described. The author has a great story for how he came into teaching what his work is all about. I find it highly enjoyable and worthwhile reading. I even bought a second copy for a friend, to spread the knowledge of wealth and how to go from poverty mindsets and lack towards greater abundance and wealth of personal power. We all have all the tools we need right inside each of us. Its in learning the secrets of money and the secrets of how to rewire our subconscious to work for us that we become empowered from the inside out. Let no one tell you, you cant. They dont know!

I decided to read this book after I heard T. Harv Eker speak on a live teleseminar about his book and course. I was impressed with his speaking style which is good for helping someone shift his or her beliefs. He uses emotions and humor . . . and a fast patter . . . to make it easy to see your views more objectively.

Mr. Eker makes a remarkable offer. Buy this book and you can attend one of his three-day seminars for free. I dont recall ever receiving an offer like that. I assume that he makes his money by selling other services and products at the seminar, but thats fair. Even when you pay thousands for a seminar, there are the inevitable pitches for more offerings.

I figured that it wouldnt hurt to listen to someone who seems to have a talent for helping change beliefs for three days.

I have been to other seminars on similar subjects, such as the one that Tony Robbins used to offer for Mastery University, and have been very disappointed in each case. So my expectations for the book and seminar werent very high. But the book does seem to be a cut above many of the other "reprogram your assumptions" books to improve your financial situation.

What I liked about the book was that Mr. Eker has identified so many different belief systems that can hold someone back from pursuing prosperity. The heart of the book comes in his 17 contrasts between what rich people believe and what poor people believe. The most fundamental is number one: "Rich people believe I create my life. Poor people believe Life happens to me." Thats a pretty standard prescription for self-improvement authors and trainers.

One that I hadnt thought about before is "Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people." Its pretty hard to work on becoming like someone you resent. That thought caused me to pause.

An unexpected point (which I suspect came from Built to Last) is that "Rich people think both. Poor people think either/or." I thought that perspective was also new and useful in this context.

None of the other 15 points were unexpected to me. But perhaps if you are new to the idea that rich people think differently than poor people you will find all of these points to be novel. After all, we each have a different row to hoe in life.

The sections are brief and a fast reader can gobble this book down in less than an hour.

But you come away feeling comfortable that Mr. Eker will help you cross the chasm to changing your assumptions about life.

The books main weakness is the emphasis on the rich-poor contrast. It would have been more helpful to have a stairway of attitudes beginning with billionaires and working on down through the homeless. A book of that sort could help somewhat people expand their financial perspectives to a higher level better than this book does.

Mr. Eker communicates clearly and with credibility. If you are serious about wanting to improve your balance sheet, this book can be a helpful part of the process . . . but think about going to one of those seminars as well. I suspect youll get far more benefit from the combination than either one alone.
