Book Review - The Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker
Posted by RichSlick under Book Reviews
Thanks for visiting. This Blog and is intended for individuals with Net Annual Income of $105,000 or more. Get Rich Slow + Get Rich Quick = Get Rich Slick. If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed.
It is comforting to know that there are people out there that think the same way I do and Harv Eker’s The Millionaire Mind covers many topics I’ve covered here on my blog over the past year. If I ever sat down to write a book, it might nearly be The Millionaire Mind almost word for word!

I’ll get the suspense out of the way, EVERYONE should buy this book; if you don’t have any money, go to your local library to check it out or ask for it as a birthday present. The book explores what really keeps people from getting rich: Themselves!
I wrote recently a compilation of the top 10 excuses I’ve personally heard over the year why people weren’t getting rich and Harv pretty much covers them all in his book. Harv, however, delves into the psychology behind the excuses and his findings are quite profound. The entire principle of the book starts with each person’s money blueprint.
The environment you grew up in provides the foundation for how you’ll live the rest of your financial life. If you had a religious upbringing in which your parents instilled in you that wealth was evil then there is a high likelihood that you’ll feel the same way about money and handicap your potential financial success.
One of the things I love about the book however are the “wealth principles” scattered throughout the book.
Here are some gems:
You income can grow only to the extend that you do.
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.
If your goal is to be comfortable, chances are you’ll never get rich. But if your goal is to be rich, chances are you’ll end up mighty comfortable.
I won’t write much more about the book because I think everyone should read it and I’m certain that everyone will find a reflection of themselves in at least one of the chapters in this book.

I love this book. It is one of my top picks. I would also like to add that Power of Association is another reason that some people do not succeed. Pay attention to the people you associate with, for sometimes they can block your path to wealth. Surround yourself with individuals that think like you or people you aspire to become.

Just wondering if you meant “compilation” instead of complication.

Thanks Greg….
I have to confess, I rarely proof read my posts; I’ve just been too busy doing research; Writing a post then proof reading it and correcting errors takes time. I actually saw that one and meant to go back to fix it but never got around to it since no one ever noticed or complained about it…..
I usually write all my posts on Saturday or Sunday for the upcoming week; they’re not written daily 90% of the time so I don’t ever go back and read them again unless someone comments something on my post.
