When I first started looking at T. Harv Eker's Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, I thought it looked like just another scheme. After all, there are plenty of books out there with good sales pitches and poor support for what they claim to do. So, I took a second look.

Think of Secrets of the Millionaire mind not as a guide to your personal finances, but as a motivational tool that helps you focus on your life in general. While many people might not think there's a lot of use to this book - after all, it offers little concrete financial advice - they would be wrong. There's plenty of information about getting into the right frame of mind.

It's all in the title. To be rich, you need to learn the secrets of a millionaire mind. Change your mental approach to success, happiness, and money in general, and you'll be amazed at the results.

Eker points out that every one of us has an internal script that tells us how we should deal with money and treat it. He refers to it as our financial blueprint, and explains that it's created by the messages about money we encounter through our lives. We get those messages from all over - friends, family, entertainment and more.

Unfortunately, the money maps we pick up are often full of errors. Those problems are what keep us from having a good relationship with money. The book tells us seventeen different ways that middle class and poor people have blueprints that keep them from success.

Some of the secrets of a millionaire mind that this book has to teach us are how to think big and focus on our opportunities, that we should admire successful people and avoid negative ones, and that we need to be bigger than our problems. We can't let the world keep happening to us. Instead, it's time to take charge and create our own lives.

Each point is carefully explained, showing us how the successful discard beliefs that limit them. Unsuccessful people allow those beliefs to take over. This is a book that's about success and happiness at base, and the way those things can lead us to wealth.

Now, if you're someone who's not willing to change your own financial blueprint, you'll probably be disappointed by this book. After all, it takes a lot of work and it isn't comfortable. However, if you're ready to do a little work and change how you think, this could be just what you need.

If you think there's nothing to Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, take a second look. You'll be amazed at the difference it can make in the way you think about life, money and success. I know I feel differently now.
