Some of you might remember this post from my older website - but due to everyone's recent concerns about the stock market and the intense focus on creating money I decided to republish it here now.
It is basically a cheat sheet from Mr. Eker's book (which I highly recommend by the way) that explains the difference between the way Rich people think and Poor people
think.
The book goes into much more detail, mind you. After each "title" it then goes into further explanation of how and why those differences in thinking is important.
I put this list together a few years back and made it look really pretty. I printed it out in fancy italics, printed it out on paper with a scrolled background and put it in a frame over my desk.
This way any time I had to "pivot" or redirect my thoughts about money I had this list in front of me.
Of coarse, feel free to print this list out and keep it on your wall someplace for your own inspiration, but please do not put it out anywhere else on the web because it is the exclusive property of T. Harv Eker. Thank you!
