It is the start of the second quarter of 2022; we are excited as we look forward to a much more productive quarter in our various roles in the organization. Here’s our recommended read to help us relax and unwind this weekend.

The secret of the millionaire mind by T.Harv Eker.

In the book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind the author  T. Harv Eker shows you the key principles and thought patterns of millionaires that you should adopt to get rich. It also explains how people unconsciously develop wrong attitudes towards money that they learned from their parents and society. 

According to financial training guru T. Harv Eker, money is a unique phenomenon that only needs to be properly understood to be accumulated. In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, he explains that our prior programming on the subject of money has an incredibly deep impact on how we interact with money and what our future possibilities of wealth are likely to be. 

This is a thought-provoking book on having the right financial mindset. 

In this read the author shared some secrets which are; 

1. Your thought patterns will determine your wealth– Many people think as long as they acquire financial management knowledge, they will automatically become rich. However, the reality is their wealth depends not so much on skills or hard knowledge but on their unconscious thought patterns deep-rooted in their mind. We all have a specific thought structure in our internal “hard drive”. Millionaires’ hard drives are programmed for wealth.

2. Your thought patterns about money are shaped by what your parents taught you– Think about your mind like a computer. The most important software was installed in childhood. That includes what our parents told us about money, which is permanently saved in our minds. You should have probably heard of your parents or teachers saying something like “Money is the root of all evil”, “You can’t buy happiness”, “Money doesn’t grow on trees” etc. All these sayings are ingrained in our minds and become our money blueprint. You can either accept these ideas or reject them. 

3. Before changing your thought patterns, perform a self-examination–   To become more financially successful, the first step is to recognise you have a thought pattern that keeps you from getting rich. To break the pattern, the next step to do is to recognise where this thought pattern comes from. Ask yourself these questions:

• What habits and behavioural patterns did you learn from your parents? What impact did they have on you?
• What thought patterns do you follow?
• What level of affluence are you programmed to achieve?
• What unconscious strategies do you use to maintain your bank account?

4. Break your thought patterns with new principles and behaviour– Knowing the theories of wealth creation is not enough. You have to overwrite the old program about money in your mind, not just save or add new information to it. To remove the old ideas ingrained in our minds, we have to find new and better principles about money and spell them out like a mantra. When you speak the principles of rich people out loud to yourself every evening, these will gradually imprint in your mind.
5. Think big if you want to become a millionaire– If you want to become a millionaire, you have to think big. Big thinking means big actions, which will lead to big money. So if you want to get rich in business, ask yourself, “how many people can you reach or serve with what you’re doing?” To get rich, you have to consciously decide the size of the audience you want to reach.

His final thoughts were; Our wealth level is limited by our thoughts and behavioural patterns formed during childhood. We can only change it by consciously recognising it and actively adopting new principles or attitudes of a millionaire.

As we start the second quarter on a high, this is a must-read to ensure we have all the necessary information and knowledge to hit our financial goals. 

Have fun reading!
