Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
Money is extremely important in the areas
in which it works, and extremely unimportant
in the areas in which it doesn’t.
Not convinced? Try paying your bills with love. Still not 
sure? Then pop on over to the bank and try depositing some 
love and see what happens. I’ll save you the trouble. The teller 
will look at you as if you’ve just gone AWOL from the loony 
bin and scream only one word: “Security!”  
No rich people believe money is not important. And if I’ve 
failed to persuade you and you still somehow believe that 
money’s not important, then I have only two words for you, 
you’re broke, and you always will be until you eradicate that 
nonsupportive file from your financial blueprint.

Victim Clue #3: Complaining  
Complaining is the absolute worst possible thing you could do 
for your health or your wealth. The worst! Why?
I’m a big believer in the universal law that states, “What you 
focus on expands.” When you are complaining, what are you 
focusing on, what’s right with your life or what’s wrong with 
it? You are obviously focusing on what’s wrong with it, and 
since what you focus on expands, you’ll keep getting more of 
what’s wrong.
Many teachers in the personal development field talk about 
the Law of Attraction. It states that “like attracts like,” 
meaning that when you are complaining, you are actually at-
tracting “crap” into your life.
WEALTH PRINCIPLE:
When you are complaining, you become a living, 
breathing “crap magnet.”
Have you ever noticed that complainers usually have a 
tough life? It seems that everything that could go wrong does 
go wrong for them. They say, “Of course I complain— look 
how crappy my life is.” And now that you know better, you 
can explain to them, “No, it’s because you complain that your 
life is so crappy. Shut up... and don’t stand near me!”
Which brings us to another point. You have to make darn 
sure not to put yourself in the proximity of complainers. If you 
absolutely have to be nearby, make sure you bring a steel 
umbrella or the crap meant for them will get you too!
I stay as far away from complainers as possible because 
negative energy is infectious. Plenty of people, however, love

to hang out and listen to complainers. Why? It’s simple: they’re 
waiting for their turn! “You think that’s bad? Wait till you hear 
what happened to me!”
Here’s some homework that I promise will change your life. 
For the next seven days, I challenge you to not complain at all. 
Not just out loud, but in your head as well. But you have to do 
it for the full seven days. Why? Because for the first few days, 
you may still have some “residual crap” coming to you from 
before. Unfortunately, crap doesn’t travel at the speed of light, 
you know, it travels at the speed of crap, so it might take a 
while to clear out.
I’ve given this challenge to thousands of people, and I’m 
blown away at how many of them have told me that this one, 
teensy-weensy exercise has transformed their lives. I guarantee 
you’ll be astonished at how amazing your life will be when you 
stop focusing on—and thereby stop attracting—crap into your 
life. If you’ve been a complainer, forget about attracting 
success for now; for most people, just getting to “neutral” 
would be a great start!
Blame, justification, and complaining are like pills. They are 
nothing more than stress reducers. They alleviate the stress of 
failure. Think about it. If a person weren’t failing in some way, 
shape, or form, would he or she need to blame, justify, or 
complain? The obvious answer is no.
From now on, as you hear yourself disastrously blaming, 
justifying, or complaining, cease and desist immediately. Re-
mind yourself that you are creating your life and that at every 
moment you will be attracting either success or crap into your 
life. It is imperative you choose your thoughts and words 
wisely!
Now you’re ready to hear one of the greatest secrets in the 
world. Are you ready? Read this carefully: There is no such

thing as a really rich victim! Did you get that? I’ll say it again: 
There is no such thing as a really rich victim. Besides, who 
would listen? “Tsk, tsk, I got a scratch in my yacht.” To which 
almost anyone would respond, “Who gives a hoot?”
