Welcome back to the daily mastermind! Today, we're going to dive into the powerful teachings of T Harv Eker and explore his 17 wealth files. These wealth files are not just about accumulating financial abundance, but about transforming your mindset to create the life you truly desire. So, let's get started!
One of the most significant lessons we can learn from T Harv Eker is that our thoughts and beliefs shape our reality. If we want to thrive and achieve our goals, we need to adopt a successful mindset.
Wealth file #1 states that rich people believe "I create my life," while poor people believe "life happens to me." This means taking ownership of our actions and decisions, rather than playing the victim.
Wealth file #2 emphasizes the importance of playing the money game to win. Rich people understand that financial success requires strategic thinking, calculated risks, and a proactive approach in seeking opportunities. On the other hand, poor people often play the money game not to lose, focusing on scarcity rather than abundance.
Wealth file #3 highlights the need for commitment. Rich people are committed to being rich, while poor people merely want to be rich. This reveals a crucial distinction between desire and action. If you truly want to achieve financial abundance, it's essential to align your actions with your goals and commit to the necessary steps to create wealth.
Wealth file #4 encourages us to think big. Rich people understand the power of setting audacious goals and expanding their horizons. In contrast, poor people tend to think small, limiting their potential by underestimating their capabilities. By embracing a mindset of abundance, we open ourselves up to greater possibilities and create room for monumental success.
Wealth file #5 teaches us the importance of focusing on opportunities rather than obstacles. Rich people understand that problems are merely challenges to be solved, while poor people often fixate on the difficulties they face. By shifting our perspective and seeking solutions, we can overcome obstacles and unlock new opportunities for growth and abundance.
Wealth file #6 encourages us to admire and celebrate the success of others. Rich people understand that there is an abundance of success and wealth in the world. Instead of resenting those who are prosperous, they choose to learn from them and draw inspiration. Developing an abundance mindset involves letting go of envy and embracing the success of others as proof that it is attainable for everyone.
Wealth file #7 emphasizes the importance of surrounding ourselves with positive and successful individuals. Rich people understand that the company we keep greatly influences our mindset and actions. By associating with like-minded individuals, we can learn from their experiences, gain valuable insights, and create a supportive network that propels us towards success.
Wealth file #8 highlights the significance of promoting ourselves and our value. Rich people are confident in what they bring to the table and actively promote their skills and services. On the other hand, poor people often hold negative beliefs about selling and self-promotion, hindering their growth and limiting their opportunities for success. Recognizing our worth and effectively communicating it to others is essential for achieving financial abundance
Wealth file #9 teaches us the importance of adopting a mindset that is bigger than our problems. Rich people understand that challenges are part of the journey towards success and are confident in their ability to overcome them. Poor people, however, often feel overwhelmed and paralyzed by their problems. By developing resilience and a growth mindset, we can become unstoppable in our pursuit of wealth.
Wealth file #10 introduces us to the concept of being an excellent receiver. Rich people understand the balance between giving and receiving. They gratefully accept opportunities, wealth, and abundance that comes their way. Poor people, however, struggle with receiving and often block their own abundance by not embracing what the universe offers. To truly create wealth, we must learn to receive with gratitude and openness.
Wealth file #11 explores the importance of getting paid based on results, not time. Rich people understand that their value lies in the results they produce, not the number of hours they work. Poor people often trade their time for money, limiting their income potential. Shifting our focus to the results we produce allows us to create wealth and financial freedom.
Wealth file #12 teaches us the power of thinking both. Rich people understand that there is always a win-win solution to any situation. In contrast, poor people often think in terms of either-or, limiting their possibilities. By adopting an abundant mindset of both, we can unlock new opportunities and create mutually beneficial outcomes.
Wealth file #13 emphasizes the importance of focusing on net worth, not just income. Rich people understand that accumulating wealth goes beyond earning a high income. It involves managing money wisely, investing strategically, and creating long-term financial stability. By shifting our focus to building net worth, we create a solid foundation for lasting wealth.
Wealth file #14 highlights the significance of managing money effectively. Rich people have a positive relationship with money and understand the importance of proper financial management. Poor people, however, often mismanage their money, leading to financial struggles and limitations. By becoming skilled money managers, we can optimize our wealth and create a prosperous future.
Wealth file #15 teaches us that rich people have their money work for them, while poor people work hard for money. Successful individuals understand the power of leveraging their resources and investments to create passive income streams. Poor people often rely solely on their own labor and find it challenging to break free from the cycle of working for money. By embracing the concept of leverage, we can accelerate our journey to financial freedom.
Wealth file #16 encourages us to act in spite of fear. Rich people understand that fear is a natural part of growth and success. They do not allow fear to paralyze them or hold them back from taking necessary action. Poor people, on the other hand, often let fear stop them from pursuing their goals and dreams. By pushing through fear, we can unlock tremendous opportunities and reach new heights.
Wealth file #17 emphasizes the importance of constantly learning and growing. Rich people understand that personal development and acquiring new knowledge are crucial for continued success. Poor people, however, often believe they already know enough and close themselves off to new possibilities. By embracing a mindset of continuous learning, we can adapt to a changing world and stay ahead in our journey towards wealth and abundance.
The 17 wealth files from T Harv Eker provide us with valuable insights and a roadmap for transforming our mindset and achieving financial success. By adopting these principles and incorporating them into our daily lives, we can create a future filled with abundance, wealth, and fulfillment. Remember, true wealth starts with the way we think. So, let go of limiting beliefs, embrace an abundance mindset, and take inspired action to unleash your true potential. Here's to your journey towards wealth and a life of abundance!
Denzel Washington did a Commencement Address at University of Pennsylvania where he talked about how failure is the key to creating success in life. He had a very unique way of talking about how most people seem to avoid risk and hedge their risks with "back up plans" which only keep you from yoru potential.

Today I want to talk with you about NOT letting your environment or curcumstances affect your direction. I want to talk about how you can create YOUR OWN direction by instilling principles and disciplines in your life....
In a world filled with constant change and uncertainty, it can be challenging to maintain momentum and achieve your goals. However, it is crucial to remember that you have the power to create opportunities and shape your own path, regardless of the circumstances around you. In this blog post, we will explore some strategies and mindset shifts that can help you create your own momentum and thrive in any environment.
Creating Opportunities in the Marketplace: Amidst the chaos and noise of the marketplace, it is vital to keep your focus on the opportunities that exist. While it is easy to feel overwhelmed, successful individuals understand that there are always untapped possibilities waiting to be explored. By asking better questions and challenging the status quo, you can uncover new avenues for growth and success.
The Power of a Positive Philosophy: Your philosophy and mindset play a significant role in shaping your outlook on life. Are you viewing challenges as setbacks or opportunities for comebacks? By adopting a positive philosophy and reframing your perspective, you can navigate through obstacles with resilience and determination. Remember that your philosophy acts as a filter for every situation you encounter, so choose to see the world in a more optimistic light.
Having Faith in Your Direction: Faith is a powerful tool that can drive you forward, even when the path ahead seems uncertain. It is more than just blind belief; it is a conscious decision to trust in yourself and your abilities. As you take action and move towards your goals, your faith will strengthen, and your beliefs will be validated. Have faith that you are on the right path and trust that you have what it takes to succeed.
Discipline and Rituals: Discipline is the key to maintaining momentum and achieving long-term success. By incorporating daily rituals and habits into your life, you can stay focused and motivated, regardless of external circumstances. Whether it's your physical fitness routine, your business strategies, or your personal finance management, discipline will keep you on track and propel you forward.
Building Confidence through Action: Confidence is not something you are born with; it is built through action and experience. Taking consistent action towards your goals will not only increase your confidence but also provide you with valuable insights and feedback. Act as if you already possess the self-belief necessary to succeed, and soon enough, you will embody that confidence in all aspects of your life.
Sticking to Your Principles: Your principles and core values are the foundation upon which you build your life. They guide your decisions, actions, and relationships. When faced with challenges and external pressures, it is essential to stay true to your beliefs and not be swayed by temporary circumstances. Adhering to your principles will provide you with a clear direction and unwavering resolve.
The Importance of Taking Action: No amount of planning and strategizing will lead to success without taking action. Instead of waiting for the perfect moment or having all the answers, start taking small steps towards your goals. The journey will unfold as you move forward, and you will learn and adapt along the way. Action is the catalyst that brings ideas to life and propels you towards the opportunities you seek.
Conclusion: Creating your own momentum and achieving success is within your control, regardless of the environment around you. By embracing a positive philosophy, having faith in your direction, practicing discipline, building confidence through action, and sticking to your principles, you can navigate through any challenges and create your own opportunities. Remember, it's not the direction of the wind that determines your path; it's the set of your sail. Take charge of your life and chart a course towards the future you desire.
Today I want to talk about the importance of self-awareness for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business owners. Self-awareness is described as a superpower that can significantly influence business growth. It helps in identifying personal strengths, weaknesses, and unique talents which can positively guide business decisions. We will talk about practicing daily meditation and journaling, getting feedback from peers or mentors, reading valuable books related to self-awareness and emotional intelligence, and using helpful apps for self-discovery as ways to enhance self-awareness. Most importantly, self-awareness can also help identify and overcome personal blind spots which can unknowingly harm the team morale, decision making, and overall business growth so we are going to talk about how we can gain better awareness in our lives. Thanks for listening and I hope you will share this show.

Let's revisit a classic today...After 25 Million copies sold in 40 languages, this book has become an icon in the field of personal development and leadership. More importantly, Stephen R. Covey has become well know for the lessons, thoughts and habits that he taught the world for transformation as a leader and increasing your effectiveness in life. Today I want to do a high level review of the entire book for you in order to inspire you with ideas and potentially rekindle your interest in going back to this book for strategies to change your life. Quote I love… "People can’t live with change if there’s not a changeless core inside them. the key to the ability to change is a changeless sense of who you are, what you are about and what you value." I think this is a premise of the entire book… Covey created this entire book on the premise that INNER success comes before OUTER success. He says “private victory” must precede “public victory”. It’s basically PERSONAL Mastery first. He goes on to talk about how Habits are the building blocks of the change you want to create in your life. Real change is the result of slow development of character over time. Daily Habits of thinking and acting are what Greatness are built upon. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is not a get rich quick or a silver bullet to Greatness… …its about slow, deliberate change over time to create your Destiny. Quote for the book by Charles Reade summarized Covey’s thoughts… “Sow a thought, and you reap an action; sow an action, and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; sow a character and you reap a destiny.” Another important note about the book before we cover the 7 habits is the distinction that Covey draws between Effective vs Efficient progress. So many of us are caught up in “time management” when Efficiency is not the primary objective we should be chasing. He says… “Think about what is most important to you and see if it is the center around which your life revolves. Don’t worry about efficiency. There is use being “efficient” if what you are doing lack’s meaning or an essential good.” Bottom line…Effectiveness trumps Achievement all day long… So let’s get into the Habits now… Habit #1 Be Proactive "Your life doesn’t “happen”. Whether you know it or not, it is carefully designed by you. The choices, after all, are yours. You choose happiness. You choose sadness. You choose decisiveness. You choose ambivalence. You choose success. You choose failure. You choose courage. You choose fear. Just remember that every moment, every situation, provides a new choice. And in doing so, it gives you a perfect opportunity to do things differently to produce more positive results.” Being proactive in life (this habit) is all about “Being responsible” for your life. The way we are responsible is by being proactive. Proactive is your ability to respond to situations (good and bad) in a way that accepts responsibility for choosing the direction and course you will follow… …the decisions you will make that affect how you respond to any situation. Proactive people take responsibility for their lives and actions. Proactive vs Reactive…what is the difference? Proactive people choose their behavior Proactive people take control of their own emotions Proactive people direct their intentions and actions toward what they want. Reactive people let others choose their behavior Reactive people believe others control their emotions by giving away their power Reactive people let other people direct them and tell them what to do Bottom line…Reactive people are affected by and react to their environment… …which is giving up responsibility for the outcomes they have in life. …they shift blame, have shifts in attitude and emotions, and don't take responsibility. Covey suggests that one of the best ways to become proactive as a person is to control and watch the quality of your LANGUAGE. …your language creates the quality of your life (he says) …learn to use phrases like “I can, I will, I prefer…not I can’t, I have to, if only” He also drops one of the most important lessons of the book, I have used throughout my life. “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” 2 Key points 1-you have a point that determines your power to choose response 2-most important thing you can “choose” is what you say (language) This habit is truly the core of the principles and habits in the book, so I have spent more time on it in general. But an additional thought I want to bring out is this… The problems, challenges and opportunities we face fall into 2 areas…Circle of Concern and Circle of Influence. To become a Proactive Person…focus on your efforts within your circle of Influence…things you can do something about. To avoid becoming a Reactive Person, don’t waste your time on things you can’t influence…environment, weather, Covid, etc. Habit #2 Begin With the End in Mind “Begin with the end in mind is based on the principle that all things are created twice. There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.” This principle is much like the carpenters rule of Measure twice. Cut Once. You have to figure out what you want in life or you will end up with something that you may not want. So what do you want? Best way to do this is to Create your destiny through the exercises of developing a Personal Mission Statement, Goals and Milestones to guide you on your journey. This will allow you to Begin with the End in Mind and make Daily Decisions that align with your Purpose, Passion, and Destination you are seeking. Habit #3 Put First Things First Covey says, “Habit 1 says, “You’re in charge. You’re the creator.” Being proactive is about choice. Habit 2 is hthe first, or mental creation. Beginning with the End in Mind is about vision. Habit 3 (this one) is the second creation, the physical creation. This habit is where Habits 1 and 2 come together.” This habit is about setting priorities and executing daily on those priorities that will take you closer to your goals and dreams. Priorities fall into 4 quadrants…
7 Ways to Shift Problems into Solutions
The more you love what you are doing, the more successful it will be for you.-Jerry Gillies
The more you align with your Unique Talents, the more success you will create...especially if you focus on solutions
I Focus on Solutions - Pillar #5
1-Your Perception of Your Problems
It's not the problem itself, it's the meaning that you attach to the problem.
Step back for a moment and realize that the meanings you attach to situations are going to dictate where your mind is going to focus and whether or not you're going to be productive at creating solutions!
2-Your View of Success vs. Failure
You need to realize that failure takes you closer to your success. When you begin to perceive failure as a steppingstone to success, then you will not be stopped or held back from creating, acting and moving forward with your life.
3-Problems Are a Good Thing
Unsuccessful people want their problems to be smaller. Successful people want to be bigger than their problems. What do you want to be in relation to your problems?
4-Change How You Look at Things
You choose but also change your environment through your THOUGHTS & PHILOSOPHY on life
5-Start From Solutions
You are not your mind; you are not your thoughts...but Your Energy & Focus will Determine Your Outcome.
6-Train Your Mind
Science has proven through neuroplasticity, that the pathways in your brain are hard-wired based on repetition and can be changed even when you are older...The more often you do that, the more that habit will be an ingrained pattern into your mind.
7-Start Focusing On Your Goals
The #1 way to start creating positive change is to focus on your goals. Your goal should be to grow bigger than the obstacles in your life.
Caution to Consider...
The mind that's overcome with all the obstacles is not the mind that can help you create solutions. It's a mind that's focused on solutions that will take you far in life.
Here’s your strategy to implement this today:
1. Find something in your life that is an obstacle or challenge.
2. Write down a minimum of 10 possible solutions to that problem.
It might be overwhelming to find 10 possible solutions, even if they're crazy ideas. But see what happens with your mind as you start to focus on solutions. You’ll find that simple things will come up that you may say to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that already?”
