Millionaires Mindset Part II
Now the journey to a Millionaire Mindset continues.
Last week I gave you an introduction to the content of T. Harv Ekers book “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind”.
The conclusion of that part:
If we want to be successful, if we want to be independent and wealthy, we have to change our behavioural pattern – in this case, our financial behavioural pattern.
One of Ekers Wealth Principles describes this accurately:
“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.”
The first step towards change of our financial behaviour is:
1 . CONSCIOUSNESS
We can only change something we know of.
Another of Ekers Wealth Principles describes this as follows:
“Conscioussness 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.”
Observe yourself, get aware of yourself, pay attention to your thoughts, fears, assumptions, behaviour, actions and even to what you not do.
Ask yourself questions like:
What is my current financial behaviour?
Am I calibrated on success or rather on a financial disaster?
Am I programmed to earn high income, medium- or low income?
Am I programmed to save money or rather to spend money?
Am I willing to take risks or do I need to feel safe and secure?
Do I truly believe in myself? If not, why?
The second step towards change of our financial behaviour is:
2. INSIGHT
We have to understand where from our thought structure originates.
Ask yourself, why you think like you do, why you do like you do?
Genetics certainly matters to one part, but mostly our thought structure has been conditioned since our earliest childhood, behaviours that have been passed on from generation to generation.
Just think about what profession most people choose. We mostly choose a profession which one of our parents pursues.
The third step towards change of our financial behaviour is:
3. DISSOCIATION = an act of disuniting or separating a complex object into parts (Wikipedia)
This means to understand that you have the choice to keep the way you are thinking as you have learned or to choose to learn another way of thinking that suits you better.
The fourth step towards change of our financial behaviour is:
4. RECONDITIONING
This is the part where you actually practise to change your behaviour. This enables you to recondition your thought structure.
This means you have to TAKE ACTION.
It is not enough to just read and contemplate about it. It is necessary to take action.
Stay tuned! It’ll start to come down to the point in following blog.
Learn to think like a Millionaire
and your business will prosper!

Another good session with some very good points Pernilla. Reconditioning is of utmost importance. Not only mentally, but also physically. Taking the necessary actions necessary until we reach our ultimate goal. Thanks for sharing with us.
Jerome
Thank you Jerome. Appreciate your comment.
Yes, you've expressed the main point perfectly! By taking action we manifest what we mentally have taken to us. This is useful for any goal we have in life - not only to get a millionaire ;-)
Follow the path to success.
Have a succesful day!
:-)
Thanks Pernilla for this tutorial. Actually before the Euro was introduced, it was so easy to become a Millionaire. You just had to go to Italy and change your Swiss Francs to Italien Lira. :)
CHF 500.-- => ITL 1'000'000.--
So funny Eric!
It all depends on what perspective.
I like this book because it helps to build up my self confidence. Of course I'd love to be a millionaire, but a positiveminded thought structure also helps in all aspects of life and in all situations.
Follow the path of success!

Hi there
well done for posting this tutorial
I agree with the main points here in this lesson
we need to change our outlook and get out from our comfort zones, if we want to make this happen
thanks again for this motivational tip
Cheers PB
Phil, so good to see you!

I'm absolutely sure your garden business will be prosperous!

love this, I deeply respect T. Harv Ekers. He is great and his books go deep deep inside and leave a big positive mark.
Sylvia, so great to see you. Hope everything is fine with you and your online business!
Then you have read this book as well? Yes, it's really insightful. We can use this knowledge not only for getting rich - I believe, if we can change to a positive thought structure, it can help us to get a more fulfilled life in general.
Follow the path to success,
wish you a prosperous business!
:-)
I agree, Sylvia. You can't just read his book once and think you'll get all that you need.
My mind is definitely in sync and the connections are engaged!
I look patiently towards the future! This can be used towards not only money, but life as well.
I just may bookmark this, in fact I think I will!
Thanks again,
Becky :)
Becky, you are definitively on the right course!
Yes, these 4 Steps we can use for any goal of success in life.

The book is really juicy, Becky. I like how you tied this lesson into life experiences as well. Very profound.
Hi Veronica,
I wish nothing but the best for you with all that you put your mind to. In fact, I can see you see you in the park facing your nemesis, hence the pull up bars.
Oh yes, you definitely have an agenda. Grass does not grow under your feet my friend.
Way to go Veronica.
Becky :)
You and Petnilla are becoming my biggest supporters! You ladies are just full of sweetness!
Your a nut, lol! Thats just been confirmed. I love it. Primerica :) You rock it girl!
One pull up, two pull ups, three pull ups. Oh, yeah, no grass under your feet my friend.
Nothing but amazingness for you!
Becky :) :) :)
Going above and beyond. Is there anything above the Billions?
Yes, I think the next step up from Billions would be Trillions.
So, on that note, I'll go for the Trillions but personally a Billion would be just as nice as the Millions.
It's great that we get to choose.
Shoot for the Billions you'll land in the Millions.
Diamonds in the rough.
Becky :)
Awesome! I am going to print this so I can read it several times over!!!!!
Great lessons for us.
Bravo!!!!
Susan

More tangible steps in coming blogs.
Keep following the path to success!

Hey Pernilla
Interesting, in my experience, we have inherent traits that we cannot change, try as we might, it has something to do with genetic makeup,
As in all things you are either a saver or a spender, sometimes a little of both, changing is very difficult as you said earlier it requires a lifestyle change.
I am inherently a spender, but as I matured I learned to implement more control on my spending, but I cannot eradicate it completely,
I do ok, live a modest life and care about others around me, helping where I can.
It is part of who I am, I should have been a millionaire at age 30, but I love to experience life, that is why I work hard.
I have experienced more than most of my peers, some are millionaires, they skimp on everything, it is to point where it annoys me sometimes.
Having millions is not what it is all about, it is quality of life, with some folks having lots of money is an obsession, like being an addict.
In closing, some have it others not, it depends on who you decide to be, Money is not everything.
All the best
Gary
It sure does help if you don't have much kicking around, lol!
I understand what your saying! I've met a lot of people that are well off and act like their going to be broke the next month, oh no, don't spend anything, just keep it all for a rainy day! Makes me sick too, actually!
A friend won 50 million and did not give his family a red cent, bought one or two a home, (the rest did without,) but said he was the owner. Are you serious!
Yeap, there are all kinds out there.
But for me, I'm going for the millions! I sure would like to be given the chance to be a millionaire one day and I will! I'll give it all away, but you reap what you sow, so they say!
I enjoyed replying to your comment within Penillas blog post, Gary.
Thanks for your Millionaire's blog post pernilla. A great conversation piece.
Becky :)
Gary, thank you for reading my post and for giving your comment! Appreciate a lot to hear your view.
You are right, genetics matters to one part also when it comes to our behaviour in general. But the good thing is, we can - if we really want to - change behaviours that are not good for us. We do not have to if we do not want to, but it is possible. It takes a great deal of work to change a mindset that we have since our childhood. I have read other books about this topic too - how to change habits in order to live a healthier life, that underlines the facts which I've read in Ekers book.
I would love to be a millionaire, not because to brag or show off. I just wish I could help my family and to be able to visit them more often (we live in different countries) and to invite them visiting me. I would love to be able to invite my parents and sister to travel to their dream destinations. I also wish to be successful in my online business - therefore it would be great to learn how to think like the successful people do.
As I replied to Becky, these 4 steps (mentioned above) we can use for any goal of success in life.
Gary, wish you success in whatever you do in life!
:-)
Hello again Becky!
Yes, isn't it an interesting discussion. Love to hear what you think!
There are indeed, all kinds of people out there in the wide world. But let us be a good example when we have transformed to millionaires!
:-D
Absolutely!
Shoot for the Billions and you land on and within the Millions.
Diamonds in the rough.
Becky
Yes Becky, that's the way to go!
Let's polish the Diamonds!
:-)
Thanks Pernilla, the same to you too.
Gary
