Have you read "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by Harv Eker?
If you haven’t, I want to recommend it to you. I got it about 2 years ago, and have probably read it 8 or 10 times. In fact, I just went through it THREE more times about two weeks ago, one right after the other. (NOT kidding!)
Why?
Because I, like Millions of people around the world, am always looking to improve myself, and to help others do the same.
So I read about three or four books like this a month. Sometimes more.
This last time going through Millionaire Mind, I keyed in on something special about the difference between thinking big and thinking small, about sharing your gifts with the world versus keeping them private, and about living the life you want versus struggling your whole life while you continue to wish things were different.
That’s why I’ve excerpted it for you here, and want you to take just a few minutes to read it, because it could impact your life significantly.
These are Harv Eker’s words, but much of the emphasis is mine…
Rich people think big.
Poor people think small.We once had a trainer teaching at one of our seminars who went from a net worth of over $250,000 to over $600 million in only three years. When asked his secret he said, "Everything changed the moment I began to think big."
I refer you to the Law of Income, which states, "You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace."
The key word is value. It’s important to know that four factors determine your value in the marketplace: supply, demand, quality, and quantity. In my experience, the factor that presents the biggest challenge for most people is the quantity. The quantity factor simply means how much of your value do you actually deliver to the marketplace?
Another way of stating this is, how many people do you actually serve or affect?
In my business for instance, some trainers prefer teaching small groups of twenty people at a time, others are comfortable with a hundred participants in the room, others like and audience of five hundred and still others love audiences of a thousand to five thousand or more. Is there a difference in income among these trainers?
You better believe there is!
Consider the network marketing business. Is there a difference in income between someone who has ten people in his her down-line and someone who has ten thousand people? I would think so!
Near the beginning of this book, I mentioned that I owned a chain of retail fitness stores. From the moment I even considered going into this business my intention was to have one hundred successful stores and affect tens of thousands of people. My competitor, on the other hand, who started six months after me, had the intention of owning one successful store. In the end, she earned a decent living. I got rich!
How do you want to live your life? How do you want to play the game? Do you want to play in the big leagues or in the little leagues, in the majors or in the minors? Are you going to play big or play small? It’s your choice.
Most people choose to play small. Why? First, because of fear. They’re scared to death of failure and there even more frightened of success. Second, people play small because they feel small. They feel unworthy. They don’t feel they’re good enough or important enough to make a real difference in people’s lives.
But hear this: Your life is not just about you.
It’s also about contributing to others. It’s about living true to your mission and reason for being here on this earth at this time. It’s about adding your piece of the puzzle to the world. Most people are so stuck in their egos that everything revolves around me, me, and more me. But if you want to be rich in the truest sense of the word, it can’t only be about you. It has to include adding value to other people’s lives.
We each came to this earth with natural talents, things we’re just naturally good at. These gifts were given to us for a reason: to use and share with others. Research shows that the happiest people are those who use their natural talents to the utmost. Part of your mission in life then must be to share your gifts and value with as many people as possible. That means being willing to play big.
Do you know the definition of an entrepreneur? The definition we use in our programs is "a person who solves problem for people at a profit." That’s right, an entrepreneur is nothing more than a "problem solver."
So I ask you, would you rather solve problems for more people or fewer people? If you replied more, then you need to start thinking bigger and decide to help massive numbers of people, thousands, even millions. The by-product is that the more people you help, the "richer" you become, mentally, emotionally, spiritually and definitely financially.
The world doesn’t need more people playing small. It’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. It’s time to stop hiding and start leading. It’s time to start sharing your gifts instead of hoarding them or pretending they don’t exist. It’s time you started playing the game of life in a "big" way.
In the end small thinking and small actions lead to being both broke and unfulfilled. Big thinking and big actions lead to having both money and meaning. The choice is yours!
So Harv’s question to you is the same as my question to you.
Are you going to think big, or are you going to continue to think small.
An ebook is probably the best way to play big, to spread your knowledge, your experience, and your VALUE to as many people as possible.
Whether you create your ebook to bring in new leads for your brick and mortar business, your service business, or to sell more products….Or whether you create your ebook to help someone eliminate pain, create more pleasure, get healthier, make money, save money, or to just be happier…
It’s time you played big, and shared your value.
To Your success,
