Welcome back to our 3rd Day in a 5 part series on the 17
Wealth Files from Harv Eker. As I mentioned in previous
episodes, I learned a great deal from Harv Eker and I really
encourage you to get his book The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind.
It really was a turning point for me when it comes to
developing a mindset for success. I have always enjoyed and
valued personal development, but Harv had a great way of attaching
the Inner Game to the Outer Game which made a lot of sense for me.
And, as entrepreneurs and investors, I hope it will do the
same for you.
So let’s go back and do a quick review of the first 5 Wealth
Files we covered yesterday…
Wealth File #1
Rich people believe “I create my life.” Poor people believe
“Life happens to me.”
Wealth File #2
Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play
the money game to not lose.
Wealth File #3
Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people
want to be rich.
Wealth File #4
Rich people think big. Poor people think small.
Wealth File #5
Rich people focus on opportunities. Poor people focus on
obstacles.
This brings us to the next set of Wealth Files #6-11 that I
want to talk a bit about today….
Wealth File #6
Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor
people resent rich and successful people.
If you view (rich, successful) people as bad and you want
to be rich you will never be rich…
Why do we resent the rich…
-comparison economy
-our relationship with money
-our beliefs about what it takes (that maybe we dont
posses)
*ultimately we rationalize our lack of success…
In what ways do you do this in your business,
relationships or life?
Wealth File #7
Rich people associate with positive, successful
people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful
people.
You are the average of the people you associate with…
How do you currently surround yourself with?
Why do we do this….
-belief transference
-positive energy
-mentoring examples
I encourage you to take a good hard look at who you surround
yourself with.
Wealth File #8
Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their
value. Poor people think negatively about selling and
promotion.
People have a real problem with sales and promotion for many
reasons…
-bad sales experience in the past leaving a negative
feeling
-bad selling experience in the past with bad outcome
-how you were raised…don’t toot your own horn…don't show
off…
Bottom line is this…Leaders are promoters.
Leaders promote themselves, their message, their
purpose. Leaders create impact and make a difference.
Wealth File #9
Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people
are smaller than their problems.
Harv Principle, “the secret to success is not to try
to avoid or get rid of or shrink from your problems; the
secret is to grow yourself o that you are bigger than any
problem.”
Otherwise, you are not “growing”…you are not becoming all
you are capable of.
I understand it is painful and difficult, but it is essential
to your happiness, fulfillment, creating impact and yes…a
successful life.
What part of your life are you struggling with right now that
you might be shrinking rather than growing in? How can
you lean into this and grow bigger than your problem?
Wealth File #10
Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people
are poor receivers.
One of the biggest things holding you bad is that you are
bad at receiving…compliments, money, help, support…
There are many reasons you may not feel worthy. We are
not going to get deep into that today, but you need to realize
this…..listen closely…
Self Worth is not needed for NET WORTH…Let me tell you
why…Because your idea of whether your worthy or not is just
a “story you tell yourself” in the first place…The meaning we
give things is just that…a meaning we gave it…not the truth or the
end result. You can choose to change how you perceive
yourself.
Harv says in his book, “if you say you are worthy,
you are. If you say you’re not worthy, you’re not.
Either way you will live into your story.”
So decide to be worthy and decide to be a good receiver.
In order to be a truly good giver you must be a good
receiver…that in turn will develop your self worth and your success
in life.
Wealth File #11
Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor
people choose to get paid based on time.
I’m going to end with this last Wealth File by encouraging you
to…
NEVER PUT A CEILING ON YOUR INCOME…NEVER
Harv has always promoting the value of a good active
income/job/etc, but don’t let it interfere with your ability to
create a higher net worth and increase yoru success. The real
problem is that normally it does interfere.
The best way to overcome the conflict and challenge is by
owning your own business. A business (yes) can be like a job,
but with the right business focus a business provides flexibility,
massive tax reduction advantages and more importantly…it provides
hope, freedom and opportunity a job will most likely not provide
long term. Ultimate, find something that allows you to get
paid for your worth, effort, and potential not just your time and
you will become wealthy.
I hope these particular Success Strategies will help you
to really get in tune with your mindset and how you think about
money…and every other area of your life.
