Marriage and your money blueprint

T. Harv Eker talks a lot about your money blueprint.  It is basically your subconscious way of thinking about and using money.  It is a subset of rules which you use in making all your financial decisions.  From the time that we were little we have been learning various things about money.  Some of them were good, some were bad, and some were somewhere in between.  Most often we model our parents in some way either by doing what they did with their money or doing the exact opposite.  Children learn more by modeling than by listening which is why asking them to do what you say and not what you do rarely works.

Now think of your spouse, if you are married, or your boyfriend or girlfriend, if you are not.  They come from a different set of parents who modeled, most likely, a different set of rules regarding money.  If your money blueprint is vastly different that that of your significant other then you will probably be having many serious discussions (i.e. arguments) about how to best use your money.  The trick is to figure out what money blueprint each of you have and come up with a third money blueprint that you as a couple will have.

In T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar he discusses four different money personality types.  There are the savers, the spenders, the monks, and the avoiders.  The savers are focused on saving money of course.  That is what makes them happy, it is what allows them to invest, and be financially free.  The spenders are the pleasure seekers.  They love to spend money and use it as a way of feeling good about themselves and living the life they want.  The monks are above money.  Money is simply too mundane a thing for them to worry about.  They focus on serving others and making the world a better place.  Not much of their energy is spent on money.  Finally, the avoiders.  These are the ones that just don't have a clue and honestly don't want to know.  They understand they have bills and that these bills must be paid but how and when they do so is something they procrastinate putting any effort into until the last minute.  They never have a budget and live by the seat of their pants, always on the verge of financial ruin.

So figure out first what type of money personality you have, then have your significant other figure out what they are and come up with something that meets both of your needs while still allowing you financial freedom. As a first step I would suggest attending T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive as he will walk you through not only understanding your money blueprint and your money personality but he will help you improve your strengths and correct your weaknesses so that you can live a happier, richer life.

T. Harv Eker's 4 Steps for Change - Verbal Programming

This is something that T. Harv Eker does with you at the Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar which I found to be really powerful.  These four steps help you understand your current beliefs and feelings about money and then help you to disassociate yourself from the negative beliefs and replace them with positive ones.  The following steps I have taken directly from T. Harv Eker's book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, on page 25:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Steps 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 belief 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 process seems pretty simple but it is very powerful as we each have these beliefs that play on repeat in the back of our head throughout the day.  These core beliefs guide us in our decisions we make about money and will ultimately determine how much money we are able to accumulate.  If we believe that money is evil and that being rich makes other people poor then we aren't likely to have a lot of money because our core beliefs are against it.  The problem too is that these beliefs are part of our subconscious and we may not even realize the influence they have.  So in following the above four steps you first identify the beliefs, understand how they are affecting your life, then you disassociate yourself from the negative beliefs and replace them with positive ones through declarations.

I would encourage anyone who is interested in making a significant financial change in their life to attend T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar.  He is now offering this three day course for free (it is normally priced at $795).  Just click the link below to register.

Which are more powerful? Declarations or affirmations?

A declaration is a stated intention to perform a specific action or to achieve a certain result.  An affirmation is declaring a goal or intention in the present tense as if it is already true.  Declarations are easier for your subconscious mind to believe because you are simply stating your purpose or your desire.  Affirmations are harder for your subconscious to believe because as you say them the little voice in your head (i.e. your subconscious) will tell you that the affirmation is not correct despite what you say.  Here are some of my declarations I do every morning and evening:

$ I create my life.  I create the exact amount of my financial success.
$ I play the money game to win.  My intention is to create wealth and abundance.
$ I admire and model rich and successful people.
$ I get rich doing what I love.
$ I deserve to be rick because I add value to other people's lives.
$ I am a generous giver and an excellent receiver.
$ I am truly grateful for all the money I have now.
$ Lucrative opportunities always come my way.
$ My capacity to earn, hold and grow money expands day-by-day.

Lack of money is a symptom of inner turmoil

Here are a couple of powerful wealth principles given by T. Harv Eker in his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind:

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.

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.

There are four dimensions in which we live our lives: mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical.  The first three listed are invisible aspects of our lives.  They are difficult to measure and not easily seen nor understood.  The last dimension, the physical, is the result of our mental, spiritual, and emotional labors.  If we are not happy with our physical results (i.e. our wealth, our health, or our weight) we must first look to our invisible dimensions of being to see what needs to change there.  We must first change the inner before we can achieve a different outer physical result.

If our mind, spirit, and heart do not feel worthy of making a million dollars then we will certainly never physically manifest a million dollars because our inner thoughts shun the idea.  This also goes for weight or health.  If we feel inside that we are always going to be overweight or sick, then guess what?  Our mind and our body will work hard to make what we believe on the inside to be true on the outside (i.e. your physical results).

Take the first steps to training your inner mind so that you may begin to change your physical results by attending T. Harv Eker's Millionaire Mind Intensive.  Click on the link below for free tickets to his next event near you:

Why 80% of people are unsuccessful and unhappy

T. Harv Eker references research that shows that 80% of people will never be financially free in the manner they wish to be and 80% of people are not happy.  Why is that?  Most people do not take charge of their life.  They live life on autopilot.  They wake up, they go to work, they come home, watch TV and hang out with their family for a bit if they have one, and then go to bed to get up the next day and start all over.  What are they doing that will create a change of any kind in their life?  The only way to create massive change in your life is to get out of the comfort zone you find yourself in.  Break the cycle and start doing something massively productive.  Seek to provide something of incredible value not only in your own life but in the lives of those around you.  The more people you can serve in a positive manner the greater your chance is of doing something amazing with your life.

I will quote again Stuart Wilde because I believe his quote has meaning here:

"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!"

Do something amazing and then show others how they can do the same.  That is the easiest and quickest way to success.  Do something unique and travel down roads that few dare to go.  Let the following words of Robert Frost remind you that it is when you don't follow the crowd and you don't stay in the status quo that you make the most difference:


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,  
And sorry I could not travel both  
And be one traveler, long I stood  
And looked down one as far as I could  
To where it bent in the undergrowth;          5
  
Then took the other, as just as fair,  
And having perhaps the better claim  
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;  
Though as for that, the passing there  
Had worn them really about the same,   10
  
And both that morning equally lay  
In leaves no step had trodden black.  
Oh, I marked the first for another day!  
Yet knowing how way leads on to way  
I doubted if I should ever come back.   15
  
I shall be telling this with a sigh  
Somewhere ages and ages hence:  
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,  
I took the one less traveled by,  
And that has made all the difference.   20

Your income can only grow to the extent that you do - T. Harv Eker

As I was reading the book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, by T. Harv Eker I came across a quote he gave by one of his favorite authors, Stuart Wilde.  The quote reads as follows:

"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!"

Needless to say Stuart Wilde is now one of my favorite authors.

Here are a couple of the declarations that T. Harv Eker teaches at his Millionaire Mind Intensive:

"I get rich doing what I love."

"I deserve to be rich because I add value to other people's lives."

"I am a generous giver and an excellent receiver."

All of these declarations reinforce the quote by Stuart Wilde, as we increase our energy and our ability to benefit others we should not be afraid to ask just compensation and we should be open to receiving the rewards of our labors.

What is your money blueprint?

T. Harv Eker starts his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, off with a story of how he didn't start to have success in his business ventures until he learned to think like a millionaire and unlearn his then current mind set.  He had tried business after business after business and failed at every one of them.  He had listened to all the tapes and CDs, read all the books, gone to the seminars, and still wasn't experiencing any success.  Then he relates how one of his dad's rich friends gave him the advice that if he wanted to be successful in business as rich people are he needed to learn first how to think like a rich person and stop thinking like a middle class or poor person.

T. Harv Eker took this advice to heart and devoted his efforts to learning how rich people think and how to unlearn some of his core beliefs that were holding him back.  He then went on to start several successful businesses and has been successful ever since.  Now he has created the Millionaire Mind Intensive to help others  that are struggling against their inner beliefs about money and success.  This three-day seminar is structured to change the way people think about money and to move them towards success by getting rid of their limiting beliefs.  The seminar will truly change your money blueprint and open you up to a new life and a new way of thinking.

Since I have attended the Millionaire Mind Intensive just last month I already have two businesses that are quickly proving to be very successful and I am no longer the road block to my success.  I started an eBay business where I buy electronics wholesale and sell them on eBay at the retail price.  My first shipment of external hard drives comes in next week and I will be able to turn my $1600 investment into nearly $5000 within a month!  I am also doing an eBay coaching business and with the help of my success coach, Ungenita Prevost (check out her website at www.thebilliondollarbeauty.com), I now have my first client that will start the coaching program in January!  My introductory package is $3000 for 10 one hour weekly coaching sessions and I will walk my clients through how to set up their eBay business, make it profitable, and automate it.  I am sure I am just one of hundreds if not thousands whose life has been changed dramatically by the Millionaire Mind Intensive.
