Do you have a millionaire mindset, or are you satisfied with the results you’ve been getting?
Many people dream of getting rich and being able to declare their financial freedom.
Sadly though, this isn’t a reality for 95% of people.
Without following the right formula, studying the right information, and learning from - as well as modeling - the right examples and people, you could stay financially stuck for the rest of your life.
That’s exactly what would have happened to Multimillionaire and New York Times Best-selling Author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker if he had to continue doing what he was doing.
His business and financial success, which manifested only after he learned the secrets to wealth and personal power, is evidence that it’s never too late for you to turn your life around.
Let’s explore Harv’s 11 Millionaire Mindset Principles designed for you to activate your own millionaire mindset and set you up for financial freedom and true wealth.
With the right attitude, the right tools, and the right knowledge - and a relentless amount of “whatever it takes” action - despite what you believe or have been taught, to get rich and to become financially free may be much closer than you think, says Harv.
If you’d like to be a millionaire, Harv says that you have to think like a millionaire.
The ‘millionaire mindset’ is precisely what prompts you to make certain changes and achieve the goals you’ve always desired.
However, this means that you must refocus your mind and adapt how you think about your life, your finances, yourself, and how you think about the world around you accordingly.
If you continue thinking about these things in the same way you always have, Harv warns that you will continue to get the same old results.
Change in your surrounding world doesn’t happen unless you change who you are, he adds.

Once you learn and adopt these mindsets, you can begin to model them and also apply them for success in all areas of your life, says Harv.
These principles will guide you to the right path for your financial freedom journey.
Money miracles will occur once you demonstrate to the universe that you can handle your finances properly. -T. Harv Eker
The universe, like everything in our reality, has rules.
As lovely as it would be to simply ask for all the money you’ve ever dreamed of and get it, Harv emphasizes that it simply won’t happen until you actually take care of what you have already.
Until the day that you can show the universe that you’re able to handle what you’ve got right now, he warns that you’ll receive nothing more.
By looking after your current financial situation with care, Harv insists that you’ll develop the skills you require to manage more money, millions more, but you cannot afford to skip any steps.
First, you must display mastery over your present finances and once that’s been established, the universe will provide you with more.
Harv’s message: Appreciation is key.
If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy. -T. Harv Eker
When first you embark on the journey to changing your mindset to think like a millionaire, Harv shares that it may hurt.
You are completely changing how you think about everything around and within you.
This means you’ll have to deconstruct many of those ingrained opinions you were taught growing up.
Those changes are difficult to make, but Harv asserts that if you’re unwilling to do these hard things, you cannot expect equal results as the people who take the necessary action and are willing to do what it takes.
To develop and have a millionaire mind requires what might even be considered radical change.
And such change will, at first, feel painful but he argues that it is absolutely worth it.
Harv’s message: Willpower aids mastery.
If you’re not doing as well as you like, all that means is there’s something you don’t know. -T. Harv Eker
A natural part of life is growth.
Take a tree for example, you can see that it’s constantly growing over time.
Millionaires, says Harv, are no exception.
There’s always room for improvement and growth.
Millionaires constantly think about their lives and how to become someone more than who they are at present, he adds.
Growth doesn’t only have to be in the financial arena.
Any and all growth is welcome and worth having.
Learning how to be a creative painter, a better chef or a better listener are all worthy improvements, Harv insists.
If you feel stuck, or if you feel that you’re not getting better in any meaningful way, you’re like the plant being stifled by a pot too small for you.
Harv suggests that you consider replanting yourself in a new or different field by moving to a new location where you can thrive, or by applying for a different job where you can grow.
Whatever you do, you must be constantly seeking opportunities for growth.
Harv’s message: Learn, Do, Repeat.
The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that they don’t know what they want. -T. Harv Eker
Vague goals and dreams such as “I want to be rich” could feel motivating, but they are useless, Harv posits.
If you’d really like to activate your millionaire mind, Harv asserts that you must have a crystal clear picture of what you desire out of life.
While goals, ‘needs’, and ‘wants’ are different for everyone, as an aspiring millionaire your mind must be fixed on the outcome of your wealth, he adds.
This clarity of heart and of mind, and the desire to truly HELP as many people as is humanly possible is what Harv says is at the core of a millionaire’s mindset.
Wealthy indeed is the individual who understands who they are, their strengths and weaknesses, where they’re going and what difference they can make in the world. -T. Harv Eker
Harv’s message: Know your desires.
If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes from a non-supportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to ‘prove’ yourself, your money will never bring you happiness. -T. Harv Eker
If your reason, your ultimate goal for building wealth is simply to be rich, Harv warns you that you’ll never feel truly complete and content in your journey, so you’ll always be looking for the next influx in pay.
You’ll find no happiness if your net worth is where your vision ends.
So many people are programmed for unhappiness, Harv adds.
Even when having luxury, a sports car, and tons of money, it’s never enough for happiness.
True happiness and true joy will never come from conditional statements such as… “If I get a raise then I’ll be happy”, or, “If I buy a house then I’ll be happy.”
Harv insists that your happiness must not be contingent on what’s coming, or on an event that will occur in the future.
If so, then you’re only setting yourself up for a miserable journey all the way to the point where, when you eventually DO arrive at your conditional “if…, then…” destination, you’ll realize that the purpose, joy, and happiness you were after is limited and short-lived.
You have to make a decision about WHO you are, and WHAT you’d like to contribute, says Harv.
When you understand your purpose in life, you will find joy and happiness in what you’re able to contribute in each present moment.
This, according to Harv, is truly the root of financial freedom and here is where you discover true wealth.
Harv’s message: Know your WHY.
Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose. -T. Harv Eker
Harv reckons that if you choose to surround yourself with individuals who are still trapped in their lives and feel financially stuck and limited, you’re very likely to feel that same way about your life and money.
However, choosing to be surrounded by successful people who have cracked this code, you’ll only learn and you’ll also grow along with them.
There’s no reason for you to do this alone and learning from experts who have already succeeded is one of the simplest, easiest ways to avoid years of heartache and struggle, says Harv.
Millionaire minds don’t think like all the rest and to become a millionaire, you have to know the things they know.
Harv’s message: Use your time wisely.
Your field of focus determines what you find in life. -T. Harv Eker
Your mind is powerful and Harv proposes that this tool can make a world of difference for you in your life when you learn how to best use it to your advantage.
The things you think of most in your life are exactly what expand to become more important, he cautions.
When you learn how to control your thinking, Harv insists that you’re learning how to control your own world.
Once you’ve identified what’s most important to you in your life, you have to focus on it.
The more focus and attention you feed it, the more it will expand and the bigger it will grow, says Harv.
Spending all day focused on any of your past failures will result in a heavier weight to bear.
He adds in parallel to this that, if you choose to rather focus on your successes and wins, and to fill each present moment with the same, this will generate future successes and more such moments in your life.
Harv’s message: The quality of your life is determined by the focus of your attention.
The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and for many of them, it’s to help a lot of people. -T. Harv Eker
The true purpose of wealth is not for money to gather dust in a bank account.
According to Harv, the true purpose of wealth is to be able to help people.
You’ll find that most millionaires don’t have the habit of hoarding money, he says.
They have a desire to use the money they have for good and to help others.
They save as hard as they work and they help others with equal passion and energy, adds Harv.
For some, helping means to donate to a church or a charity, and for others, it’s to help out friends and family.
Helping other people and contributing meaningfully to your community shouldn’t necessarily be reserved for a date and time when your savings have reached a particular amount.
Harv insists that you can start contributing now to those causes around you.
And he suggests that you help people who could do with the help.
Harv’s message: Help as much and as many as you can.
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. -T. Harv Eker
Your mindset dictates your reality.
If what you see when you look at the world is a painful, horrible place, Harv says it influences the reality you ultimately experience.
However, when you see life through the lens of ‘awesome’, you’ll realize that everything is awesome.
Your J.O.B?
Awesome!
Your community?
Awesome!
Even that formerly frustrating commute through gridlock traffic can be an awesome opportunity for learning, says Harv.
It really all depends on your perspective and how you choose to see it.
By changing how you think about the world and your own world, Harv asserts that you’re choosing one of the easiest and fastest ways to change it.
When you choose to think about this world, and your world as a supportive and giving place, you empower yourself to succeed, he adds.
We become what we think about most of the time. - the late great Earl Nightingale
Harv’s message: Choose your perspective.
Are you willing to work 16 hours a day? Rich people are. Are you willing to work seven days a week and sometimes most of your weekends? Rich people are. -T. Harv Eker
According to Harv, most people know what it will take to be better, but choose not to take action due to the fear of the consequences of such choices.
For instance, we know we should get out of debt, and stay out of debt, BUT what about this one little thing or that other thing?
You know, that thing…
The thing you’ve had your eye on for some days or for weeks.
That thing’s exactly what you want.
And it’s on sale at 10% off!
But you didn’t put savings aside for it.
If you’re an average person, Harv states that you’ll charge it to your credit card without giving it a second thought.
But if you have a millionaire’s mindset, Harv believes that you’ll make the tough call and wait.
The reason so many people are not who they’d like to be isn’t because they have no idea how.
Instead, it’s because they are not willing to make these hard choices, says Harv.
And the hard choices could be anything from working that extra shift or moving to a different location for improved work opportunities to waking up earlier.
Regardless of what your hard choices may be, Harv asserts that the millionaire mindset only focuses on empowering and enabling you to do what you know to be right without making any excuses.
Harv’s message: Be now who you’d like to be later.
Getting rich takes focus, courage, knowledge, expertise, 100 percent of your effort, a never-give-up attitude, and of course, a rich mindset. -T. Harv Eker
Conditioning your existing mindset to become a millionaire mindset takes focus, says Harv.
To experience success you must be 100% all in on changing your world and your life for the better, he adds.
If you’re unwilling to give it all you’ve got, you will not enjoy the same rewards as the people who did, warns Harv.
So things may not go right all the time, and not all your plans will materialize flawlessly but a millionaire gets up more times than falling down and will continue pushing through to the end goal.
If you have a desire to weather the storms and achieve your goals, Harv insists that you must have the right mindset.
Harv’s message: Practice makes permanent.
Your money and success blueprint determines your financial life and Harv can show you how to identify yours.

This is truly the root of financial freedom and here is where you discover true wealth.
Millionaires know that happiness is an inside job, that happiness is a choice, and that in order to be happy, one has to connect to that happiness.
