"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth"

Last week I read a book called

"Secrets of the Millionaire Mind:

Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth",

and I think it's one of those books that everyone should read, regardless of your age, profession and nationality.

As the title suggests the book is about developing the right mindset about money. What I liked about it, though, is the fact that it's not focused on the "law of attraction", but rather on practical things you can do to achieve wealth. I do believe on the "law of attraction", but there are countless other books out there that cover that, so having one focusing on the practical aspects of things was refreshing.

The core of the book are the 17 "wealth files" proposed by the author, T. Harv Eker. They are:

1. Rich people believe "I create my life." Poor people believe "Life happens to me."

2. Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.

3. Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.

4. Rich people think big. Poor people think small.

5. Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on obstacles.

6. Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people.

7. Rich people associate with positive, successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.

8. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.

Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.

9. Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems.

10. Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are poor receivers.

11. Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.

12. Rich people think "both". Poor people think "either/or".

13. Rich people focus on their net worth. Poor people focus on their working income.

14. Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.

15. Rich people have their money work hard for them. Poor people work hard for their money.

16. Rich people act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

17. Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know."

Obviously inside the book each "file" is expanded in great detail, examples are provided and so on. It's not a long book either, so when you have some free time make sure to read it. Daniel Scocco
