T Harv Eker: A Mind for Riches
Today Chiropractic Lifestyle
TCL wanted to get in on the game, so we read the book and interviewed two DC's who have taken the three-day seminar and seen positive results.
There are plenty of titles available promising millionaire status in a variety of ways - without effort; within a year; with just one step; and getting rich God's way.
Eker's "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" is the only one to fuse the inner game of wealth with the outer - taking calculated steps towards financial security. It shares philosophies on the power of thought and intention in a tell-you-like-it-is style.
The core message of the book centers on your money blueprint, the collective belief system regarding money and success that is deeply embedded into your subconscious mind. Consider it a pre-set program regarding your relationship to money. Throughout your childhood and adolescence you observed how your parents and influential people around you dealt with money. You may have been trained to save, you may have heard that rich people are greedy, that hard work pays off, you can't make money off your dreams and so forth. All of these messages have wired your brain to think about money in a certain light. These thoguhts are the basis of your actions with money and, in some ways, reflect your current financial standing.
After reading the book, Theresa Pigott, a chiropractor in Troy, Michigan, cashed in her frequent flier miles for the first available Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar. "Initially I was very skeptical," says Pigott. "I sat for a day and a half with my arms crossed. I thought it was a sales job and my mind started all my old patterns about money."
Eventually, the messages from the seminar began to sink in and lead to new discoveries. "I realized my blueprint was set on the idea that money was evil. I came from a strict Catholic working-class family. All I could hear my dad saying was 'you have to pull yourself up by your bootstraps and the harder you work, the bigger the reward,'" says Pigott. "I don't mean to speak negatively of my father, but he had a negative relationship with money and that was passed on to me. I didn't realize I was raised [with those beliefs] until completing the exercises in the seminar."
The seminar is three days of intense programming - prepare to be brainwashed, but in a good way. Everything that's in the book is featured in the seminar, except it's live on stage. But, there are extras. Eker and his team are masters at engaging crowds of 500, 1000, and more. Participants won't give you the nitty gritty details of the experiential portions of the seminar, but we know the schedule calls for many opportunities to reprogram your mind and face your fears in what some would call unorthodox ways.
The Michigan Association of Chiropractors (MAC) sponsered a Millionaire Mind Intensive seminar in Detroit as a means of fundraising. Erica Peadbody, DC in Fenton Michigan, learned about the seminar through the association and attended after hearing rave reviews from friends. Before the seminar, Peabody says she had a good relationship with money, but was inexperienced when it came to money management. While in chiropractic college, Peabody had around $2,000 a month for living expenses, and now she makes that in a day. "I was saving my money - I didn't know what else to do with it. I didn't want to make a bad decision with it, so I saved it. I did splurge once. I bought myself a new Volvo and paid cash for it." Besides splurging on the car, Peabody made a conscious effort to live more like a student while growing her Cafe of Life practice. She rented an apartment and kept spending to a minimum.
Using the strategies she learned in the seminar, Peabody has signed a purchase agreement for a condo and moved her money from an account that earned 1 percent interest to one that earns her 6 percent. "I found that account in 10 days [after attending the seminar]. Within 10 days I had changed the way I was handling my money."
Today she's working on creating streams of passive income. "I'm looking into possible different products in network marketing. The only way to be financially free is to have passive income and then you work because you want to, not because you have to."
After three days of reprogramming, self discovery and transformation, many participants leave on a high. "I came out of the seminar feeling empowered and I had an uncanny belief in myself," says Pigott. "The dream to have a healing center was always within me - he didn't give me that. The seminar did take me to the next level. I changed my blueprint to reflect that I am a generous person and I can help thousands by having money."
After the seminar, Pigott set up a scholarship fund for her patients to attend future Millionaire Mind seminars and began piecing together her dream of expanding her practice into a multidiscipline healing center. A real estate broker led her to a building that was 7,128 square feet and in her preferred location. With her old money blueprint out of the way, Pigott moved forward. "I thought to myself, how did I do this, but at the same time I had complete faith in myself," says Pigott. "People trusted me and loaned me the money. They wanted to be a part of my vision. The bank looked at it and I closed on it." Pigott attended the seminar last May.
It has been a little over a year since the closing and Pigott has her center up and running with eight practitioners, including an acupuncturist, two massage therapists, an allergy specialist and a number of other holistic healers. "I made this leap and I really want to be a part of other's transformations, so the center includes an education center, a full kitchen for cooking classes and a lecture space for experts in different fields to speak to the patients," says Pigott. "I just want to be a part of the path for people's transformations."
Both Pigott and Peabody bought additional seminar packages through Eker's company, Peak Potentials Training. Peabody chose a series that will help her work a crowd during her public speaking event. Peabody signed up for the Enlightened Warrior Camp and immediately felt a sense of buyer's remorse. Her old blueprint came flashing back, and she had to learn to control her thoguhts - a key lesson from Eker. Pigott realized she was investing in herself. "It's the best tool I've got, and it has paid for itself over and over. I have created a center for people to be healed."
All in all, the book and seminar are not just about getting rich, together, they strive to serve a larger purpose: to change your life and transform the world. Pigott has got the message. For her the Millionaire Mind experience has been more about personal growth than making more money. "[Eker] just hooks you with the money angle. But what he's really doing is helping people live their life with passion and to their fullest extent, and then the money will follow."
