Secrets of the Millionaire Mind
It’s imperative to realize that it is not necessary to try to get 
rid of fear in order to succeed. Rich and successful people 
have fear, rich and successful people have doubts, rich and 
successful people have worries. They just don’t let these 
feelings stop them. Unsuccessful people have fears, doubts, 
and worries, then let those feelings stop them.
WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
It is not necessary to try to get rid of fear
in order to succeed.
Because we are creatures of habit, we need to practice act-
ing in spite of fear, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite 
of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of 
discomfort, and even to practice acting when we’re not in the 
mood to act.
I remember teaching an evening seminar in Seattle, and near 
the end, I was letting people know about the upcoming three-
day Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar being held in 
Vancouver. This one fella stands up and says, “Harv, I’ve had 
at least a dozen of my family and friends attend the course, 
and the results have been absolutely phenomenal. Every one 
of them is ten times happier than before, and they’re all on the 
road to financial success. They all said it was life changing, and 
if you were holding the course in Seattle, I’d definitely come 
too.”
I thanked him for his testimonial and then asked if he was 
open to some coaching. He agreed and I said, “I have only 
three words for you.” He cheerfully replied, “What are they?” 
To which I tersely responded, “You’re frickin’ broke!”  
Then I asked him how he was doing financially. He

sheepishly replied, “Not too good.” Of course I replied, “No 
kidding.” I then began ranting and raving at the front of the 
room: “If you are going to let a three-hour drive or a three-
hour flight or a three-day trek stop you from doing something 
you need and want to do, then what else will stop you? Here’s 
the easy answer: anything! Anything will stop you. Not because 
of the size of the challenge but because of the size of you!
“It’s simple,” I continued. “Either you are a person who will 
be stopped, or you are a person who won’t be stopped. You 
choose. If you want to create wealth or any other kind of 
success, you have to be a warrior. You have to be willing to do 
whatever it takes. You have to ‘train’ yourself to not be stopped by 
anything.  
“Getting rich is not always convenient. Getting rich is not 
always easy. In fact, getting rich can be pretty damn hard. But 
so what? One of the key enlightened warrior principles states, 
‘If you are willing to do only what’s easy, life will be hard. But 
if you are willing to do what’s hard, life will be easy.’ Rich 
people don’t base their actions on what’s easy and convenient; 
that way of living is reserved for the poor and most of the 
middle class.”
