Secrets of the Millionaire Mind: Mastering the Inne... T. Harv Eker

 Influence no.2 Specific Incidents 

Specific Incidents are locked in our minds for a long time once they happened. The world view that you have may be influenced by these incidents. Mostly, the beliefs are shaped in a non-realistic way, and they can be bad for you as you grow older. For example, it's your first day at preschool, and you try to make friends. But you get laughed at because you are too shy to talk. You will, later on, find making friends difficult and associate it with feelings such as shame, due to that one incident you experienced in your early years.

Some other examples can show you the same principle. Let's read Josey's story to understand this type of influence better. Josey is a nurse that helps doctors in operations, and she earns a lot of money. Sadly, this income somehow runs away from her every time she gets it. Thanks to the Millionaire Mind Seminar, she understood why this happens. Josey remembers a trip to a restaurant with her whole family. It is the one where her parents are fighting at the table because of money again. The next thing she remembers is her father's face changing colors, and he couldn't his speak. Just a moment after, her dad, collapses and falls on the ground. Josey wants to save her father, but she is just a child. Sadly, the old man died from a heart attack. It broke Josey's heart. This is when she starts thinking that money causes pain.

When she grew up, Josey had the habit of wasting money so that none is left and no pain appears. By becoming a nurse, Josey reflects the intention of saving her dad. She continues to live in the past. Gladly, a happy ending occurs. The Millionaire Mind course helped Josey to clear her thoughts and start thinking about money in a healthy way. Instead of being a nurse her entire life, Josey decides to be a financial planner. She helped people to free themselves from the beliefs that were created by incidents from the past. 

Secret no.1

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

Have you reflected about your thoughts about money? Do you remember any childhood memory or incident that might have influenced your beliefs? What do your parents think about being wealthy? In the next chapters, we will discuss how you can finally break free from these self-limiting beliefs. You will learn the secrets of the millionaire mind. Let's start with the first one. Rich people take everything into their own hands while poor people believe that destiny will do it for them. 

You can't wait for the money to fall from the sky because it won't happen. The only way to be truly rich is TO DO something that makes money and then get it. Remember, those who do nothing, get nothing. If you can't control your money and let something else take over the control, you will never become as rich. You need to believe that you make your own destiny.

Imagine millions of people waiting for years for a miracle to happen while others create their own business or find other income sources. Hardworking people become rich while the superstitious ones keep on waiting. Below you can find some relevant examples that are related to the first secret of the Millionaire Mind, which is to take responsibility for your life. Do you like to read horoscopes? Some do it for fun, while others put all, of their trust in it. Some people just smile after reading their daily horoscope and continue with their goals. Meanwhile, others get deeply concerned if the text says "no luck today", "no luck all year", "short finances" or "wait for bad, news". They decide to do nothing because what else can they do if the horoscope says that everything is going to be bad?

The people who just read horoscopes for fun have the potential to become rich with their own efforts. Meanwhile, those who choose to do nothing because of negative horoscope stay poor because they leave their lives in the hands of "destiny". 

Here you go with another example. Some people who are obsessed with lotteries and others rarely buy a lottery ticket. Some people can spend even more than half of their earnings while believing that they will find some type of hidden treasure after scratching the paper of the lottery ticket. Meanwhile, other people buy lottery tickets just to have fun and maybe winning a few dollars or so. Which ones do you think to have a bigger chance of becoming rich? Of course, it's the people who don't spend a big piece of their income on lottery tickets. They invest their money on useful things such as business rather than hoping that "One day I will win a million dollars and all of my dreams will come true".
