Secrets of the Millionaire Mind

part says, “I’ll be able to travel the world.” Then the other part 
chirps in, “Yeah, and everyone in the world will want a 
handout.” These mixed messages may seem innocent enough, 
but in reality, they are one of the major reasons most people 
never become rich.
You can look at it like this. The universe, which is another 
way of saying “higher power,” is akin to a big mail-order de-
partment. It is constantly delivering people, events, and things 
to you. You “order” what you get by sending energetic 
messages out to the universe based on your predominant be-
liefs. Again, based on the Law of Attraction, the universe will 
do its best to say yes and support you. But if you have mixed 
messages in your file, the universe can’t understand what you 
want.
One minute the universe hears that you want to be rich, so 
it begins sending you opportunities for wealth. But then it 
hears you say, “Rich people are greedy,” so the universe begins 
to support you in not having much money. But then you think, 
“Having a lot of money makes life so much more enjoyable,” 
so the poor universe, dazed and confused, restarts sending you 
opportunities for more money. The next day you’re in an 
uninspired mood so you think, “Money’s not that important.” 
The frustrated universe finally screams, “Make up your frickin’ 
mind! I’ll get you what you want, just tell me what it is!”
The number one reason most people don’t get what they want is that 
they don’t know what they want. Rich people are totally clear that 
they want wealth. They are unwavering in their desire. They 
are fully committed to creating wealth. As long as it’s legal, 
moral, and ethical, they will do whatever it takes

to have wealth. Rich people do not send mixed messages to 
the universe. Poor people do.
(By the way, when you read that last paragraph, if a little 
voice inside your head said something to the effect of “Rich 
people don’t care if it’s legal, moral, or ethical,” you are defi-
nitely doing the right thing in reading this book. You’ll soon 
find out what a detrimental way of thinking that is.)
