17 Ways Rich People Think Differently from Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Ekert: Free Book Summary and Review

There has been a lot written recently about how rich people view the world through a different lens than poor people. In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Ekert states, “Give me five minutes and I can predict your financial future for the rest of your life.” Eckert claims he can do this by identifying your financial blueprint. But the good news is that with the right information, you can reset your financial blueprint to operate at a higher level.  

In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Mastering the Inner Game of Wealth, 2005, Harper Collins, T. Harv Ekert explains how a financial blueprint works in part one.  Ekert asks us to go back and review our earliest childhood memories around money. Ekert also explains how we can identify our financial blueprint and reset it to a higher level.  

In part two, Ekert discloses 17 ways wealthy people think differently than middle-class and poor people. In a nutshell, here are 17 wealth files to embed into your conscious and subconscious to continue on your path to wealth.  

(1) Rich people acknowledge that we all create our own lives.   

(2) Rich people play the money game on the offensive to win. 

(3) Rich people commit to becoming rich. 

(4) Rich people think big and deliver as much value as possible to the marketplace. 

(5) Rich people focus on opportunities. 

(6) Rich people admire other rich and successful people. 

(7) Rich people associate with positive and successful people. 

(8) Rich people promote themselves and their value. 

(9) Rich people believe they are bigger than their problems. 

(10) Rich people are excellent receivers.  

(11) Rich people choose to be paid based upon results. 

(12) Rich people believe the world is abundant and look for ways to have it all. 

(13) Rich people focus on net worth, not working income. 

(14) Rich people manage their money well. 

(15) Rich people look for ways to have their money work for them. 

(16) Rich people act in spite of their fear. 

(17) Rich people constantly learn and grow. 


Of course, this book serves as an introduction for Ekert to convince you to attend his seminar. But even if you have no interest in attending the seminar, the book does have a lot of worthwhile advice that can help a person learn to think in a manner that is more conducive to earning and keeping wealth. One of the best nuggets I found in the book is Ekert's advice on how to divide up your income into different buckets, and to live on only fifty percent of your net income so the remaining portion of your money can be placed into long-term and short-term savings, charitable giving, and even having fun.  But, you can read the book if you are interested in learning more about that.  As Ekert explains it, the way you know if you know something is to look and see if you are living it.  If not, you still have some things to learn about money, success, and life." 

Rating: $$$$$ out of five.  This book can help a person make changes to earn more money.
