Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

Your Money Blue Print

“It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.”

The fact is that your character, your thinking, and your beliefs are a critical part of what determines the level of your success. The key to success is to raise your own energy; when you do, people will naturally be attracted to you. And when they show up, bill ’em!”

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: Your income can grow only to the extent you do!

Why Is Your Money Blueprint Important?

Because even though some self-made millionaires may lose their money, they never lose the most important ingredient to their success: their millionaire mind.

The Roots Create the Fruits

Most of us put even more attention and focus on the fruits, our results. But what is it that actually creates those particular fruits? It’s the seeds and the roots that create those fruits.

It’s what’s invisible that creates what’s visible. So what does that mean? It means that if you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots. If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.

The Four Quadrants

One of the most important things you can ever understand is that we do not live on only one plane of existence. We live in at least four different realms at once. These four quadrants are the physical world, the mental world, the emotional world, and the spiritual world.

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: Money is a result, wealth is a result, health is a result, illness is a result, your weight is a result. We live in a world of cause and effect.

If things aren’t going well in your outer life, it’s because things aren’t going well in your inner life. It’s that simple.

Declarations: A Powerful Secret for Change

Declarations not only send a specific message to the universe, they also send a powerful message to your subconscious mind.

DECLARATION:

"My inner world creates my outer world."

now touch your head and say ...

"I have a millionaire mind."

What is Your Money Blueprint and How Is It Formed?

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: Give me five minutes, and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life.

Many of the most respected teachers in the field of human potential have used this formula as a foundation for their teachings. Called the Process of Manifestation, it goes like this:

T → F → A = R

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: Thoughts lead to feelings. Feelings lead to actions. Actions lead to results.

Your financial blueprint consists of a combination of your thoughts, feelings, and actions in the arena of money.

To reflect this understanding, we can now revise our Process of Manifestation in the following manner:

P → T → F → A = R

Your programming leads to your thoughts; your thoughts lead to your feelings; your feelings lead to your actions; your actions lead to your results.

The First Influence: Verbal Programming

What did you hear about money, wealth, and rich people when you were growing up?

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic, emotions will almost always win.

Your subconscious conditioning determines your thinking. Your thinking determines your decisions, and your decisions determine your actions, which eventually determine your outcomes.

There are four key elements of change, each of which is essential in reprogramming your financial blueprint. They are simple but profoundly powerful.

• The first element of change is awareness. You can’t change something unless you know it exists.
• The second element of change is understanding. By understanding where your “way of thinking” originates, you can recognize that it has to come from outside you.
• The third element of change is disassociation. Once you realize this way of thinking isn’t you, you can separate yourself from it and choose in the present whether to keep it or let it go—based on who you are today, and where you want to be tomorrow. You can observe this way of thinking and see it for what it is, a “file” of information that was stored in your mind a long, long time ago and may not hold any truth or value for you anymore.
• The fourth element of change is reconditioning. We will begin this process in Part II of this book.

Step for Change: Verbal Programming

• AWARENESS: Write down all the statements you heard about money, wealth, and rich people when you were young.
• UNDERSTANDING: Write down how you believe these statements have affected your financial life so far.
• DISASSOCIATION: Can you see that these thoughts represent only what you learned and are not part of your anatomy and not who you are? Can you see that you have a choice in the present moment to be different?
• DECLARATION: Place your hand over your heart and say…

“What I heard about money isn’t necessarily true. I choose to adopt new ways of thinking that support my happiness and success.”

Touch your head and say…

“I have a millionaire mind.”

The Second Influence: Modeling

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes from a nonsupportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to “prove” yourself, your money will never bring you happiness.

By unlinking your money motivation from anger, fear, and the need to prove yourself, you can install new links for earning your money through purpose, contribution, and joy. That way, you’ll never have to get rid of your money to be happy.

Steps for Change: Modeling

• AWARENESS: Consider the ways of being and habits each of your parents had around money and wealth. Write down how you may be identical or opposite to either of them.
• UNDERSTANDING: Write down the effect this modeling has had on your financial life.
• DISASSOCIATION: Can you see this way of being is only what you learned and isn’t you? Can you see you have a choice in the present moment to be different?
• DECLARATION: Place your hand over your heart and say…

“What I modeled around money was their way. I choose my way.”

Touch your head and say…

“I have a millionaire mind!”

The Third Influence: Specific Incidents

To my wife, money meant immediate pleasure (as in enjoying her ice cream). I, on the other hand, grew up with the belief that money was meant to be accumulated as the means to create freedom.

As far as I was concerned, whenever my wife spent money, she wasn’t spending money, she was spending our future freedom. And as far as she was concerned, whenever I held her back from spending, I was taking away her pleasure in life.

Steps for Change: Specific Incidents

discuss what you want today not as individuals, but as a partnership. Decide and agree upon your general goals and attitudes with regard to money and success. Then create a list of these attitudes and actions you both agree to live by and write them down. Post them on the wall, and if ever there’s an issue, gently, very gently, remind each other what you decided together when you were both objective, unemotional, and outside the grip of your old money blueprints.

• AWARENESS: Consider a specific emotional incident you experienced around money when you were young.
• UNDERSTANDING: Write down how this incident may have affected your current financial life.
• DISASSOCIATION: Can you see this way of being is only what you learned and isn’t you? Can you see you have a choice in the present moment to be different?
• DECLARATION: Place your hand on your heart and say…

“I release my nonsupportive money experiences from the past and create a new and rich future.”

Touch your head and say…

“I have a millionaire mind!”

So What Is Your Money Blueprint Set For?

Your blueprint is like a thermostat. If the temperature in the room is seventy-two degrees, chances are good that the thermostat is set for seventy-two degrees. Now here’s where it gets interesting. Is it possible that because the window is open and it is cold outside, the temperature in the room can drop to sixty-five degrees? Of course, but what will eventually happen? The thermostat will kick in and bring the temperature back to seventy-two.

The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success “permanently” is to reset your financial thermostat, otherwise known as your money blueprint.

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: The only way to permanently change the temperature in the room is to reset the thermostat. In the same way, the only way to change your level of financial success“permanently” is to reset your financial thermostat.

You can try anything and everything else you want. You can develop your knowledge in business, in marketing, in sales, in negotiations, and in management. You can become an expert in real estate or the stock market. All of these are tremendous “tools.” But in the end, without an inner “toolbox” that is big enough and strong enough for you to create and hold on to large amounts of money, all the tools in the world will be useless to you.

💡 WEALTH PRINCIPLE: Consciousness is observing your thoughts and actions so that you can live from true choice in the present moment rather than being run by programming from the past.

DECLARATION: Place your hand on your heart and say ...

"I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me."

Touch your Head and Say ...

"I have millionaire mind!"
