Book Review – Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

By Matt - Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

Last week I finished T. Harv Eker’s Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and I have to say that overall I was quite impressed by the book. With one caveat: while reading the book the rather constant plugs and suggestions that the reader take his seminars was a bit distracting.

The book is essentially broken down into two main parts, the first one is the description of the financial blueprint. This is the first time that I’ve seen this referenced and when it boils down to it, it’s how ones upbringing leaves a blueprint on our behavior for how we deal with money. Our financial blueprint; it’s an interesting idea that makes perfect sense. When I was growing up my family didn’t have a lot of money and it shows in my blueprint. I need to make some adjustments to my blueprint to be better able to make money.

The second part of the book is 17 primary points about what rich people do that the poor and middle class do not. Most of them are pretty obvious points and not necessarily tied to money though that is a very strong undercurrent. Essentially it points out that rich people approach money from the point of view of wanting/needing it to achieve their goals. In doing this they look for opportunities and take control over their lives in order to take advantage of them. Mr. Eker goes into detail about each point and every one of them is logically sound (at least to me).

I really enjoyed the book even though the plugs for his conferences distracted me from the content a bit. I’ll be happy to add this book to my PF collection.
