T. Harv Eker's Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and Peak Potentials Training are changing the world - one pocket at a time.
Our culture is full of negative ideas about money. Money is the root of all evil. You can only get rich by stealing. More money, more problems. It takes money to make money. And so on. Think back to your childhood: what kinds of statements about money did you hear from your parents and teachers? Can you think of a movie where a rich businessman is the good guy, or where a successful woman is happy in love? When you think of your wallet or your bank account, do you feel pride? dread? sadness? shame?
We are inundated by negative messages about wealth and money from a very early age. Many of us grow up to the sound of our parents fighting about money. Our desire for money gets muddled up with resentments and fears: only money can give me security; people will only like me if I have money, I'll show them all by getting rich... Money becomes a symbol for power, acceptance, happiness - and by extention, fear, rejection, and misery.
But what is money? Simply stated, money is a tool. The money you pay for a dress is no different than the sewing machine used to make it. But few of us feel their hearts sink every time they think of a sewing machine! And yet money - or rather the messages about money we've internalized throughout our lives - wields such power over us that it can end our marriage, estrange us from our siblings, and chain us to decades of servitude in a job we hate.
It's understandable that most of us grow to harbor deep resentments towards these bits of paper and metal. And yet, we are shocked when we just never seem to have any!
T. Harv Eker, self-made Canadian millionaire and educator, thinks there's a connection. It's natural, he says, to want less pain in our lives. We might think money will alleviate our pain - but here's the catch: as long as our subconscious mind associates money with pain, it will also associate the absence of pain with the absence of money. The subconscious has a way of playing tricks on us: it will sabotage us during an important job interview, will confuse us when we stumble upon a lucrative opportunity, and will do everything in its considerable power to keep us away from money - thinking that it's keeping us away from pain. And so we are trapped on a hamster wheel: the more negative we feel about money the less we have it, and the less we have it the more our negativity grows.
The extent to which our subconscious keeps us locked in the hamster wheel is the extent to which we'll always be stuck in our present financial position. Eker calls this the money thermostat: some people have it set to $50,000 a year; some have it set to $50 million, and for many it's stuck at negative $50,000. This explains why some people can lose everything they have and get it back within a couple of years (Donald Trump comes to mind: every time he files bankruptcy, he seems to get richer than before!), and some people can get a windfall only see it slip through their fingers (the many currently broke pop stars will attest to this).
Depressing, isn't it?
The good news, says Eker, is that our money thermostat can be fixed once and for all. And hundreds of thousands of people who've become (and stayed) rich using his principles, agree.
In his best-selling book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Eker lays down the ways to get rid of all this negativity. Through hands-on exercises, he shows a way to sift through the catalog of bad thoughts about money and recognize where these thoughts come from: when you say money doesn't buy you happiness, is it your voice or your mother's you hear coming out of your mouth? And once the sources of the negativity are discovered, it's only a matter of discipline to weed them out and plant new, positive thoughts. Once money is linked with positive feelings, your subconscious mind will stop sabotaging your attempts to get at money: suddenly, you get that $70 an hour job; every investment you pick skyrockets; and next thing you know, you are driving that Ferrari you've always wanted.
It might sound cooky, but volumes of research confirms: our minds have a way of manifesting what they concentrate on. The Secret calls it the Law of Attraction: like attracts like, and so what we focus on, expands. Focusing on the absence of money will give us more of the same - as will focusing on its abundance.
T. Harv Eker makes full use of the Law of Attraction. Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is only the beginning of the journey on which Ecker takes his students: he is the creator of Peak Potentials Training, a revolutionary school that combines investment strategies, medication and visualization, the teachings of Lao Tsu, and passive business income strategies into a wholistic course that engages the whole person, not just his or her pockets.
The results are astounding. The 3-day-long introductory Millionaire Mind Intensive (only $97 USD if you purchase Secrets of the Millionaire Mind) alone has the power to turn people's lives around: this 3-day boot camp takes students apart and puts together stronger, braver - and ultimately, richer - versions of their selves. Within one week of attending the Intensive, many students - including myself - see drastic changes in their self-esteem and the ability to be "the right person in the right place at the right time," and within a month many start seeing drastic changes in their bank accounts as well.
T. Harv Eker introduces the seminar and the basic concepts that run through his methods in a free telecast, which can be found here: http://www.millionairemind.com/a/?wid=513383&page=/preview/replay.
The pragmatic centerpiece of the seminar is a money management concept crucial to the Peak Potentials method: the jar system. This simple system relies on an even simpler principle: saving alone (tightening the belt, so to speak) will only breed more resentment. The jar system gets rid of resentment by allocating a small part of savings specifically for play - and forces you to spend this play money every month, so you have no choice but to enjoy money! Don't forget: the more enjoyment is connected with money, the less your subconscious will sabotage your attempts to get more of it.
You can find out more about the jar system here: http://www.millionairemind.com/a/?wid=513383&page=/jars.html/.
But the jar system is only one tool in the Peak Potentials' tool belt. The program's wholistic approach works with the whole of us: our thoughts, our feelings, our actions, and our results. Few people leave the Millionaire Mind Intensive without feeling shaken to the core, empowered, and equipped to take on the world.

Seminar of the Century (http://www.peakpotentials.com/a/?wid=513383&page=/soc-teleclass/replay).

Harv Eker himself. In this free teleclass, four of the participants share their insights into business and personal development.
The Enlightened Warrior Camp (http://www.enlightenedwarrior.com/a/?wid=513383&page=/). If you take only one Peak Potentials class, make it this one. The course is on the samurai tradition, which teaches that the enlightened warrior is one who has conquered himself.
