Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

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.
One of the principles we teach in our programs is “If you 
shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon.” Poor people 
don’t even shoot for the ceiling in their house, and then they 
wonder why they’re not successful. Well, they just found out. 
You get what you truly intend to get. If you want to get rich, 
your goal has to be rich. Not to have enough to pay the bills, 
and not just to have enough to be comfortable. Rich means 
rich!

The Wealth Files - 65
DECLARATION: 
Place your hand on your heart and say...
“My goal is to become a millionaire and more!” 
 
Touch your head and say...
“I have a millionaire mind!” 
 
MILLIONAIRE MIND ACTIONS
1. Write down two financial objectives that demonstrate 
your intention to create abundance, not mediocrity or 
poverty. Write “play to win” goals for your:
a. Annual income
b. Net worth
Make these goals achievable with a realistic time
frame, yet at the same time remember to “shoot for
the stars.”
2. Go to an upscale restaurant and order a meal at “market 
price” without asking how much it costs. (If funds are 
tight, sharing is acceptable.)
P.S. No chicken!
Wealth File #3
Rich people are committed to being rich.
Poor people want to be rich.
 
Ask most people if they want to be rich and they’d look at you 
as if you were crazy. “Of course I want to be rich,” they’d say. 
The truth, however, is that most people don’t really want to be 
rich. Why? Because they have a lot of negative wealth

files in their subconscious mind that tell them there is some-
thing wrong with being rich.
At our Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar, one of the 
questions we ask people is “What are some of the possible 
negatives about being rich or trying to get rich?”
Here’s what some people have to say. See if you can relate 
to any of these.
“What if I make it and lose it? Then I’ll really be a failure.”
“I’ll never know if people like me for myself or for my 
money.”
“I’ll be at the highest tax bracket and have to give half my 
money to the government.”
“It’s too much work.”
“I could lose my health trying.”
“My friends and family will say, ‘Who do you think you 
are?’ and criticize me.”
“Everyone’s going to want a handout.”
“I could be robbed.”
“My kids could be kidnapped.”
“It’s too much responsibility. I’ll have to manage all that 
money. I’ll have to really understand investments. I’ll have to 
worry about tax strategies and asset protection and have to 
hire expensive accountants and lawyers. Yuck, what a hassle.”
And on and on it goes....
As I mentioned earlier, each of us has a wealth file inside 
the cabinet called our mind. This file contains our personal 
beliefs that include why being rich would be wonderful. 
However, for many people, this file also includes information 
as to why being rich might not be so wonderful. This means 
they have mixed internal messages about wealth. One part of 
them gleefully says, “Having more money will make

life a lot more fun.” But then another part screams, “Yeah, but 
I’m going to have to work like a dog! What fun is that?” One
