Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - Book Review

It's amazing that a small little book, "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - mastering the inner game of wealth", can change thousands of people's life, including myself. I was first introduced to this book by a speaker, and i immediately grab the book at MPH store at RM34.90 for paperback version.

This book is an excellent book to start with if you always complain that you don't have enough money. And "Not enough money" syndrome has always plague your life. Or you may have earned the money but not long after, you lose it all.

You will discover many "aha" moments while reading this book as you start to uncover the nature of your inner beliefs and how they have shaped the actions you have taken over the years to achieve - or not achieve for dream or goal.

Among the key things reveal in this book are:

1. The best selling author, T.Harv Eker said, "Give me five minutes, and i can predict your financial future for the rest of your life!".
2. We each have a "money blueprint" that determines the level of our financial success. The hidden feelings that you have about money are critical in determining your level of success. For example, if you believe "money is the root of all evil", are you really going to do things that confirm or verify that you are evil?
   
3. Your thinking pattern leads to the results that you are getting, you can't solve a problem with the same mind that created it.
4. Thoughts > Emotions > Actions > Results
5. Thoughts lead to emotions, emotions lead to actions, actions lead to results. Actions is the bridge between the inner world and the outer world which is the results.
