In Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, T. Harv Eker states we have a Money Blueprint and it affects our abilities to acquire wealth.
"When the subconscious mind must choose between deeply rooted emotions and logic, emotions will always win."
Our Blueprint is formed by
1. Verbal Programming... what we have heard about money (hearing)
2. Modeling... how parents viewed and handled money (seeing)
3. Specific incidents... an experience we had about money (experience)
To change our money blueprint we must change what we have learned that is contrary to building wealth. To do that requires:
First, be aware of how you think.
Second, understand how this affected you.
Third, disassociate your thinking with what created an adverse impact.
Fourth, declare your new money mindset.
And affirm this in your thinking by putting your hand over your heart, saying out loud your new affirmation about your attitude about money. Touch your hand to your head and say "I have a millionaire mind."
We must reset the blueprint to be the blueprint of those who have millions.
"Choose to think in ways that support your happiness and success, instead of ways that don't."
Eker outlines the wealth files in his book. Here’s a summary of the seventeen wealth files Eker lists that are the way of thinking to attract wealth.
Wealth File #1
Rich people believe "I create my life."
Poor people believe "life happens to me."
Wealth Principle: Money is extremely important in areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn't. When you complain you become a living "crap magnet." There is really no such thing as a really rich victim.
Wealth File #2
Rich people play the money game to win.
Poor people play the money game not to lose.
Wealth Principle: If your goal is to be comfortable, chances are you'll never get rich. But if your goal is to be rich, chances are you'll end up mighty comfortable.
Wealth File #3
Rich people are committed to being rich.
Poor people want to be rich.
Wealth Principle: The number one reason most people don't get what they want is they don't know what they want. If you are not fully, totally, truly committed to creating wealth, chances are you won't.
Wealth File #4
Rich people think big.
Poor people think small.
Wealth Principle: The law of increase states that you will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace.
Wealth File #5
Rich people focus on opportunities.
Poor people focus on obstacles.
Ready, fire, aim is about taking action quickly and working things out as you go.
Wealth File #6
Rich people admire other rich and successful people.
Poor people resent rich and successful people.
Wealth Principle: Bless that which you want.
Wealth File #7
Rich people associate with positive, successful people.
Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people. Your mental energy affects circumstances in the same way. Negativity creates the undesired; positivity creates what you desire.
Wealth File #8
Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.
Poor people think negatively about selling themselves.
Leaders earn a "heck" of a lot more than followers.
Wealth File #9
Rich people are bigger than their problems.
Poor people are smaller than their problems.
Wealth Principle: The secret to success is not to try to avoid or get rid of or shrink from your problems; the secret is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than your problems.
Wealth File #10
Rich people are excellent receivers.
Poor people are poor receivers.
Wealth Principle: If you say you're worthy, you are. If you say you are not worthy, you're not. Either way you live into your story.
Wealth File #11
Rich people choose to get paid based on results.
Poor people choose to get paid based on time.
Wealth Principle: There's nothing wrong with getting a steady paycheck, unless it interferes with your ability to earn what you're worth. There's the rub. It usually does. Never have a ceiling to your income.
Wealth File #12
Rich People think both.
Poor people think either/or.
Wealth Principle: Rich people believe you can have your cake and eat it too.
Wealth File #13
Rich people focus on their net worth.
Poor people focus on their working income.
Wealth Principle: The true measure of wealth is net worth, not working income. Where attention goes, energy flows.
Wealth File #14
Rich people manage their money well.
Poor people mismanage their money well.
Wealth Principle: Until you show you can handle what you've got, you won't get any more. The habit of managing your money is more important than the amount.
Wealth File #15
Rich people have their money work hard for them.
Poor people work hard for their money.
Wealth Principle: Rich people see money as seed that can be planted to earn a hundred more dollars, which can then be planted to earn a thousand more dollars.
Financial Freedom: The ability to live the lifestyle you desire without having to work or rely on anyone else for money.
Wealth File #16
Rich people act in spite of fear.
Poor people let fear stop them.
Wealth principle: Action is the bridge between the inner world and the outer world. It is not necessary to get rid of fear in order to succeed. Training and managing your mind is the most important skill you ever own.
Wealth File #17
Rich people constantly learn and grow.
Poor people think they already know.
Wealth principle: You can be right or you can be rich, but you can't be both. New files means new ways of thinking, new actions, new results.
Declaration: positively affirm each day a wealth file and put your hand over your heart when you do. Then point to your head and say...."I have a millionaire mind."
In the book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Eker has exercises for each wealth file. These are worth doing and invaluable for making them really begin to work for you.

When our minds operate consistent with Spirit, we operate with the Mind of Jesus. The creator of all things…“God created everything through him, and nothing was created except through him.” (John 1:3, NLT)
“But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created everything, and we live for him. And there is only one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through whom we have been given life.” (1 Corinthians 8:6, NLT)
Jesus created everything. We share in that. When we operate as One in Him, we create with Him. How do we do that?
“Study this Book of Instruction continually.
Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey
everything written in it. Only then will you prosper
and succeed in all you do.This is my command—
be strong and courageous!
Do not be afraid or discouraged.
For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."
(Joshua 1: 8-9, NLT)
The mind and the Spirit must interrelate and be One in Spirit. The challenge is reprogramming our minds to be consistent to what Spirit already is. Spirit has all the laws, provisions, dynamics of God, who is Spirit, in it.
When we allow this to be transposed in our lives, we naturally carry out all the Law or principles of the Universe. But our minds have been conditioned by all of our experiences... what we have heard all our lives, what we have seen and model and what we have experienced. So we must intentionally work to change the way our mind works.
This is where the Bible comes into play and what Joshua recorded and what David says in the Psalms. “Oh, the joys of those who do not follow the advice of the wicked, or stand around with sinners, or join in with mockers. But they delight in the law of the LORD, meditating on it day and night. They are like trees planted along the river bank, bearing fruit each season.Their leaves never wither, and they prosper in all they do."(Psalm 1:1-3, NLT)
If we meditate on the teachings of Jesus and principles of the Bible and ingest them into our minds, and function consistently with Spirit we then, as One in mind, heart, soul and Spirit, we then have the Power of All things going with us.
We can go boldly, and be strong and know with certainty that the wealth of the universe is at our disposal. When we do, and follow the Ways of God and Spirit prompting us(which we get when we meditate and pray) we are plugging into all the power of God... that then goes ahead of us. He gives us Spiritual intelligence and we get Divine strategies that see beyond, deep into, and through all circumstances.
When this directs us, we have all of Spirit, as One in us, all things will prosper and Great Power is with us.
And what is true success?
Oswald Chambers defines it in My Utmost for His Highest (Nov. 15).
“The true test of a saint’s life is not successfulness but faithfulness on the human level of life. We tend to set up success in Christian work as our purpose, but our purpose should be to display the glory of God in human life, to live a life 'hidden with Christ in God' in our everyday human conditions.” (Colossians 3:3)
Meditating day and night is getting
The Actual Spirit of God fixed as One
in both the conscious and subconscious mind.
These Two
working as One
IS
where the power is.
To be One with ourselves, with Spirit, and then with someone else,
who does the same,
is very powerful.
This is the secret formula to see all the miracles of the Bible to be part of our every day life.
Meditate on the Instructions of Scriptures
and allow Spirit,
through prayer and meditation,
to become One in all of our daily functions.
…One Mind, One Spirit…
It takes effort and a personal discipline, a daily routine, but the rewards are more than worth the time and discipline required to live like this.
So Be bold, Be strong, for the Lord God of all the Universe
is with you.
