Since this is my first publish article, I want to share my favorite book. I will discuss the book "Secrets of the millionaire mind" by T. HARV EKER. You will learn in this article summary why a person's mindset is important to be rich and we will also give 5 lessons in the book. Hope you enjoy!
But before we start with the list, why is the mindset so important for people to get rich?
According to the author of this book, there is a person with all the wisdom, skills and tools in the world but his mindset or the so-called money blue print is not set to get rich, most likely people will not get rich this.
Our money blueprint is because of the things that became our foundation regarding money. This is what we are already in the sub-conscious and until we grow old and die we carry it.
Our money blueprint is programmed through:
Verbal programming
Modeling
Specific incidents
VERBAL PROGRAMMING
Verbal programming is what we hear other people around us say about money that most likely comes from our parents and is often passed on to them by their parents and so on. These money beliefs "Money is the root of all Evil". It is bad to be rich and have other negative things about money.
MODELLING
In modeling, these are the habits that we see people around doing about money.
For example, your father likes to gamble, waste money, commit vices or your mother is extravagant and extravagant. So, these things that you saw when you were a child, in direct you also imitate and you can possibly do in the future.
SPECIFIC INCIDENTS
In specific incidents, it is our personal experiences regarding money that can also result in its negativity to us.
Now, why is this money blueprint important if you want to get rich?
Mainly because this is your foundation. Just think and if your money blueprint is set that you hate the rich, that you think having money is bad. Do you think you want to get rich? Probably not anymore. You can only be satisfied with yo8ur current situation.
I remember when we were young our mother told us not to sweep at night because it was unlucky and it was as if you were sweeping the money. So as a child, you just follow, there are no more questions until you grow old and you can still carry it and then you can pass it on to your children.
This is one of the examples of money blueprint. Also, what if you think you can only reach so far, that my parents are poor? So, it will be difficult for me to grow old as well as my children. But you should not blame your parents because they themselves, they do not know that they can pass on the poor mindset that was also taught to them.
Now, just think of the lottery winners, most of them after only a few years are also returning to hardship. Likewise with other famous athletes, they also return to hardship. How come their money blueprint is set for being poor.
Now, let's make it difficult for someone who has a money blueprint set to get rich like author Robert Kiyosaki who lost several times in business but still got up and became rich. Donald Trump is also one of them who went bankrupt several times but became rich again only a few years later. This is the difference if your money blueprint is set to get rich.
Now that you have an idea on the money blueprint, let's go to the five lessons in this book.
Rich people believe " I create my life "
Poor people believe "Life happens to me"
Rich people believe that they are in control of their lives, that they are responsible for it. What they did then and what they continue to do now will affect their destiny and success in life while the poor seem to just go with the flow, that they have no control and ability to change what could have happened in their lives.
Speaking of control, who bets the lotto better? The real rich people or the poor people?
You’re right more poor people are betting on the lotto.
Poor people want to do this because they think that only in the lottery you can get rich because you have no control over your life that you should only rely on lottery balls. Where is the control here?
Nothing, you just passed on your life with luck instead of you controlling your life and being responsible for it. Feeling that they are really poor people, that they are always victims of Destiny or of life they love to:
BLAME
JUSTIFY
COMPLAIN
BLAME- because they are the victims, they are not at fault and it is all the fault of the government or the economy, their boss, their parents, their friends and so on.
JUSTIFY- Or just justify the situation and say "It's okay, money doesn't matter" but try to be able to tell your spouse every day, that he or she is not important. Do you think your husband will stay with you? Probably not, so does the money.
COMPLAIN- because you are just complaining, you are only focusing on the ugly and negative things. The more you focus on it, the more you will always see and it will happen to you. Suppose, inside the attraction, you are only attracting the ugly and negative things in your life.
"Rich people play the money game to win"
"Poor people play the money game to not lose"
The rich, their mindset regarding money is how to grow and win. The hard part is how they can't be defeated.
They look the same but have different meanings. The poor because they immediately think that what if they lose, what if they lose, what if they fail, so ending if they want to get rich they will not do it because they are afraid of losing. But when it comes to the rich, they immediately think about how they will win, what it will feel like if they win and what other ways did other people win.
It's just an offense vs defense. Defense is important in any game, but like most sports like basketball you have to score higher than your opponent, so you have to attack and rush, as well as enrichment.
"Rich people are committed to being rich"
"Poor people want to be rich"
The rich commited really to be rich. Maybe whatever happens is just against them but these poor people just want to get rich but in order for you to be rich forever you have to find ways to reach it and just a simple dream or desire is not enough. You have to sacrifice a lot of things to achieve this and not get it by simply lying in bed.
You have to sacrifice a lot of things to achieve this and not get it by simply lying in bed. Just compare it to being a lawyer, if you want to be a lawyer, there are steps you can take to become a lawyer. You need to study for a few years and you also need to pass the bar examination to become a legitimate lawyer. It is also the same with enriching someone, you need to take action.
" Rich people think big"
"Poor people think small"
The rich are great when it comes to thinking and dreaming. This is the opposite of the poor. The rich are ambitious people and the end goal is really big while the poor are underestimating themselves and their own ability to succeed in life which is in fact, that if you do not trust yourself, who is capable to trust you? It's just that because it's simple. Think big then make actions. Do not be discouraged because you are also the loser in the end.
"Rich people focus on opportunities"
"Poor people focus on obstacles"
The rich focus on the opportunities and the potential rewards of their efforts in life while the poor always focus on the problems, the future problems and the negative consequences of their plans in life. It is important to have self-confidence that you can handle, that you will not just lose.
An ugly mindset always looks at the bad things that happen in life. If you always think like this, you probably will not drive a car because you are thinking What if you crash, what if the car engine stops and so on.If you want to get rich and this is your mindset, never get in the car and just walk towards your destination.
