When reading last night, I came across a chapter in my current book, "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker, that inspired me to post a quick blog. I was very fortunate that when I started my business back in 1999, I was surrounded by mentors that already knew these lessons and taught them to me.
For those of you that were not so fortunate, I would highly recommend getting yourself a copy of this book. It is a quick read and the lessons are simple and easy to put into action.
The lesson that struck home for me is, "Wealth File 10: Rich people are excellent receivers, Poor people are poor receivers."
I am one of those people that will bend over to pick up a penny or a nickel and I get excited about it. I get just as excited when I win $5 on video poker as I do when I win $5000 at the craps table.
The point is I am grateful and open to receiving any amount of money, big or small. Usually, the people complaining about not receiving any money or not receiving enough money are poor.
It also talks about giving and receiving. They are two sides to the same coin. You can not have one without the other. I am sure you have heard the saying, "It is better to give than to receive." I think Eker puts it best, "What a crock!"
If all you do is give and never receive, then how can you continue to give? I know from personal experience, the more I give, the more I receive, and the more I receive the more I give, and it goes on and on in a big circle. When I stop doing one or the other, it puts a halt to the energy and the flow.
Some tips that Eker gives to become better receivers follow:
1 - Practice receiving. When someone gives you a compliment, say "thank you". Don't return the compliment, just receive it, accept it and be grateful for it.
2 - ANY money you find or receive should be enthusiastically celebrated. Scream out, "I'm a money magnet. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" This goes for any money that comes into your life, whether you find it on the ground, receive a paycheck, money you get as gifts, the money you get from the government.
3- Pamper yourself at least once a month. Do something special to nurture yourself and your spirit. Get a massage, a manicure, a pedicure, take yourself to an extravagant lunch or dinner, rent a boat or a weekend cottage. Do things that will make you feel rich and deserving.
When you are putting out the energy of being wealthy, you attract wealth. When you put out the energy of being abundant you attract abundance.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of T.Harv Eker's "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" and put its lessons into use immediately. It is a quick and easy read and can have you on your way to wealth and freedom no matter what your current situation.
