| What the book is about: | |||||
| As you may expect by the title, the premise of the book is that Millionaires think differently to other people.The book provides seventeen “Wealth Files”, which are examples of how the Rich think differently to poor and middle class people.
We are told that “our current money blueprints will determine our financial success”; the good thing is that we can reprogram our money blueprints. Our financial blueprints are set by the information we have been exposed to along the way. Invariably our parent’s and other influential people in our lives have ingrained their own views of money in us. Our subconscious mind determines our blueprints and as these strongly ingrained beliefs can override logic, actions are required to train the subconscious.The book has a four step process to this training: Awareness, Understanding, Disassociation and Declaration. We are provided affirmations (Called declarations in the book) and they are accompanied by the actions of touching your head and your heart whilst speaking them. By physical activity as well as saying the words it provides more emphasis. He talks about the fact that certain people may not believe in these theories, because they can’t physically see the millionaire mindset. People pay their electricity bills even though they can only see the results of the electricity and not the electricity itself. We are advised to have five accounts for our finances, 10% Long Term Savings, 10% Investing, 10% Education, 10% Play & 50% Necessities. The mathematicians amongst us will have noticed we have only accounted for 90%, the last 10% is to be given away to a good cause. |

| Would I buy this book: |
YES |
||||
| Not just a book about attitudes but about changing mindsets. | |||||
| What I liked about this book: | |||||
| I liked the start of the book where Eker says “don’t believe anything I say”, referring to the fact that these are his experiences which we can use as a tool but it is our choice whether to use them and if so how.The statement that no thought lives in your head rent free, thoughts are either beneficial or detrimental to your financial health.
Eker’s definition of an entrepreneur being: “someone who solves problems for people for a profit” |
