This review is from: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards (Cards)
Another self-improvement expert I once read, (DENNIS WAITLY, if I remember correctly), in his book, "THE POWER OF WINNING", stated that it's important to have REPETITION of good
guidelines, in order to remember them. I guess that's true with anything....good, bad, or indifferent. If there isn't enough REPITITION of sayings, ideas, guidelines....you probably won't remember them all that much. For instance, listening to a motivational speaker may put you on "cloud 9" for a few hours, and make you feel ambitious and eager to help both yourself and the rest of the world. But...if you don't have a tape or a book to re-listen or re-read the motivational speaker's words, most of them will be forgotten by the end of the week -- not to mention for the rest of your life. People these days are busy. Not only that -- but attention spans have evaporated to almost zero, thanks to the almost instantaneousness of movies, TV, and yes, even (at times), the Internet, as well. Look at the books and speeches of the 19th century, and compare them to todays' -- graceful circumlocution, (that means big words with great sentence structure), pervades in the prose, say, of Lincoln and Poe....but not in today's written word. Compare, even, the writing in newspapers of the 19th century with today's. For better or worse, we moderns demand a simpler syntax, and more elementary writing. The book, 'SECRETS OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND', by T. Harve Eker, is a slim, easy-to-digest volume. (It was also Number 1 on the best-seller lists of The New York Times, AND The Wall Street Journal, AND USA Today!! : ) But these cards, distilled from his book ,,by the same author, are even easier to understand -- and that is a great asset for us modern, sadly all-too-often "literarily-lazy" folk. Each card is a delightful, thoughful, and VERY succinct one or two sentence summary of a basic wealth-building principle. Most of them seem like just good common sense -- but how often are our own best instincts swayed, (and sometimes toppled!) by the negative attitudes of others? For instance, one of the cards reads: .......Rich people admire other successful peo9ple, .......poor people resent them. If you view wealthy .......people as bad in any way, you can never be rich, .......because how can you be something you don't liike? To which I add: for every J. Pierpoint Morgan, there is also a Robert Kennedy! It's hard to remember this, though, in a world of tabloid journalism, and paparazzi, which seem to delight in pulling down those who have "made it". One needs these cards -- or other constant reminders of common sense, common courtesy, common decency, and all over positivity, in a world too filled with negativity and pessimism. One thing I am guilty of is believing that everyone knows everything better than I do. I've come, slowly, to suspect that this just may not be true -- there just might be some things I know better than a lot of people, (not many things...but a few.) One of Mr. Eker's cards, (which I just received today), seems to have been written just for me, (and others who think the way I do, in this instance): .......If you believe that you're 'not enough', .......you'll validate that believe and create .......the reality that you don't HAVE enough. ..............But if you believe that you're MORE .......than enough, you'll create more than .......enough in every part of your life. " Oh -- so THAT'S why I'm a shopaholic! (One reason, anyway.) True, I don't know everything...but I do know SOME things. Such aas....eat fruits, and vegetables, eat before 6:PM, eat and drink "volumizing" foods, (such as chocolate milk, instead of a chocolate bar), and keep a food diary. I've lost 30 pounds this way. I'm by no means an expert on the subject -- BUT I DON'T NEED ANY MORE DIET BOOKS, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT...OR AT LEAST, HOW I CAN LOSE WEIGHT! So, Mr. Ekar's cards have already increased my self-esteem, and are helping me with my shopaholicism! Let's see what other cards say....hmmmmm... ..............Thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions, ..........which lead to results. ..............If you choose to think and act like rich people ..........do, you can create the ressults that rich people ..........create." Another self-help expert said it like this: "If you want to be rich, see what poor people do, and DON'T do it!" So, if a show comes on TV, highlighting the life, say, of John Dillinger, it's better to change the channel....or perhaps rread up on the life of Bill Gates, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, JFK, FDR, or Abraham Lincoln! On the reverse side of each of these cards is a illustrative drawing, by artist SARAH WILKINS. All of the drawings are truly appropriate for the subject matter. Many of them could also stand as works of art on their own. Ms. Wilkins has a moderistic bent, with a realistic touch -- her works remind me a bit of the work of Max Earnst. Many have a dream-like quality -- but all are realistic enough to discern everything painted. Some of these paintings could easily find their way into the New York Museum of Modern Art, I feel! They illustrate Mr. Eker's principles in a way no one can miss! You may agree with some of these cards more than you do others...but all the cards have the hallmark of being written by someone who not only wants to make a profit from selling them, but also someone who sincerely wants to help others. Maybe it's lonely at the top. Maybe he just wants to share what he has. Whatever his reasons, these little cards, with their "bite-size" bits of wisdom, are the perfect companion to his more expansive, but still compact book. Reading these "nuggest of knowledge" is easier even than reading his small volume on which they are based...which means more repetition! Like a neophyte capitalist's counterpart to the Chinese "Little Red Book of the Sayings of Chairman Mao", these cards can mold you into a fully-formed compassionate, (and wealthy!) capitalist....one who believes in the value of people, as much as you do in the value of money. Both are important, and valuing one often leads to valuing of the other, (as who does not want to ultimately aid his or her parents, or other kind relatives, friends, and others you'd like to help?) So, buy these cards, and shuffle and read them! Every day!If their 3"x 4 1/2" size is too big to take to work, copy them down in a smaller notebook. No, these cards are not as mystical as Tarot cards. However - they are filled with common sense...and probably, good fortune, too! Remember, repetion is what gets ANYTHING across.... And these little cards...to be read at home, during lunch breaks..and even on the bus to work....make the repetition easy! IN THE END, YOU'LL FIND, AS I DID, THAT RICH PEOPLE ARE NOT A DIFFERENT SPECIES! THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS, JUST LIKE YOU AND I, WHO T H I N K....A LITTLE....D I F F E R E N T L Y. READ THESE CARDS, (EVERY DAY!), AND YOU'LL FIND OUT ...H O W...THEY THINK DIFFERENTLY. JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, ACTUALLY....BUT THAT LITTLE BIT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Buying these cards COULD easily be the first step to fulfilling the wise adage: LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!!!! $ : ) $ ; ) <---Happy Rich Man, Happy Rich Woman! )

See for yourself,
This review is from: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards (Cards)
I went to the Millionaire Mind Seminar for Free. For more than a year Eker had a two free-ticket offer in his book, and I bought the book and went with a friend. Obviously the people who gave the negative review didn't take that opportunity.
The MM seminar was an absolutely amazing experience! I would recommend it to anyone. For the person who said Eker isn't spiritual, he/she obviously never met the man. Eker is spiritual and wholistic. One of the ways he teaches people to become financially free is by changing their way of thinking from a negative "I deserve to suffer", "rich people are the devil," "If only I had enough to pay the bills ontime" mentality to a positive and uplifting "I deserve to be rich," "My time and life is valuable and I will only do things that honors me," "I can do BOTH, not either or" mentally. Eker brought a room filled with more than 1,500 people to their absolute best state with positive, coaching, and forward-thinking talks. In his book, he talks about overcoming fear and breaking an arrow -- a real arrow -- with your throat, and I did it! (It would take a book for me to explain all that I learn during those three days.) The cards are great, they are beautifully colored and the messages are right on. If you follow what they said your finances will improve. -- What are the chances that the people who gave the negative critiques are struggling financially. --

If you're into carrying little reminder cards and/or posting them around your home or office, these are excellent. They're all taken from the information in Eker's bestseller, and are great little reminders.
Apparently the other reviewers either don't like reminder cards (which is fine), or think all cards have to be spiritually enlightening. In my opinion, financial cards are as valid as angel cards or self-worth cards or any others. If you learned from Eker's book and/or seminar and don't want to write his thoughts on Post-Its (as I was doing), these cards work great!

Nice bonus item - a loving gift to yourself!,

This review is from: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards (Cards)
I look at this deck of cards as a nice gift to myself, another little investment in myself and my future. There's a lot of cards. Someone said there's 50 of them? That sounds about right. The cards are big and nice looking. They come in a nice, sturdy box made of thick, glossy cardboard. They remind you of Harv's principles without you having to write them down yourself. I don't think this deck is as critical to have as his book, but it's nice to have and use. What the heck, it's only $15. That's nothing compared to how much more money you'll make as a result of Harv's teachings. One of my big problems was having limiting subconscious beliefs, which I have been dimly aware of for many years. I had this vague feeling that I must've been holding myself back for some unknown reason. Now I am finally freed to have great goals and to pursue them very aggressively! I also found Brad Yates e-tapping recordings to be very helpful to free my subconscious even more. He's a hypnotist and he uses EFT techniques and he's AWESOME at it. So I recommend everyone also look into Brad Yates on the web. Harv is not the only one who helps you free yourself of subconscious limits. Good luck to everyone in reaching your dreams and goals - champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

This review is from: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards (Cards)
The Secrets of the Millionaire Mind book, by T Harv Ecker, was the best book on how to create money, and the thinking, that prevents one from making money, that I have ever read.
The cards however, are too big. I was hoping they would be small enough to put in my purse, or tape to my computer for easy viewing. Sonia (Australia.)

I think the cards are quality material and they will last a while but they aren't quite what I was expecting for the price. I got more from the book on tape. Excellent book!

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind cards, are DREADFUL.
I would definately NOT recommend ANYONE buy these cards at all. They are a complete waste of money and I will tell you why: EVERY CARD starts off with a positive statement, then ends in negativity about ones life and how you lived your life before changing your mind set. T Harv Eker is clearly a Millionaire by doing these cards and getting the general public to buy them! Good idea, I should have thought of that!! They are NOT helpful in any way shape or form. I dont appreciate being reminded about my previous life experiences via these cards. Amazon should take them off their site so that people do not waste their money. And thats the truth. These cards would continue to make T Harv Eker a Millionaire but not You or I! Cheryl Richardsons Daily Affirmation cards are more "warm, inviting, friendly and CONSISTENTLY POSITIVE"! DO NOT BUY THESE CARDS, you'll be wasiting your money. thank you .

Make better Use of Idle Time with these Excellent Reminders,
By Ye Xianlong "Frugal introvert" (Clementi, Singapore) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secrets of the Millionaire Mind Cards (Cards)
I had reservations about buying at first as back of box wrote 'material on these cards is based on text from SOMM book'. Why would i spend $ buying pretty much a duplicate of the book? Next is there are 50 cards while Harv wrote about 17 wealth files in his book, so what are the missing ones? Curiosity got the better of me & i bought it.
After buying it, i have no regrets. Box of 50 cards are in front of my monitor & i can read 2 cards daily while booting up computer. Each of the 50 cards have the below captions on its front & a brief explanation on the back. 1) Be bigger than any problems 2) Learn to live in your higher self 3) Think rich & act rich 4) Decide that $ is important 5) Get clear on what u want 6) Practice being a good receiver 7) Decide that u're worthy 8) Let go of playing the victim 9) Focus on opportunities 10) Work on u 11) Be accountable for everything in your life 12) Become a great learner 13) Forget 'comfortable', go for rich 14) Believe u can be rich 15) Think big & act big 16) See every dollar as a seed 17) Focus on contribution 18) Promote yourself 19) Increase your value 20) Focus on growing your $ 21) Choose your thoughts wisely 22) Commit to being rich 23) Develop the characteristics of success 24) Admire rich & successful people 25) Get rich so u can help others 26) Solve problems for people 27) Choose both! 28) Get support or create a team 29) Buy assets 30) Play the $ game to win 31) Embrace responsibility 32) Stretch your comfort zone 33) Get paid for results, not time 34) Get financially educated 35) Manage your $ 36) Think long-term 37) Associate with successful people 38) Use power thinking 39) Be the best at what u do 40) Own your own business 41) Don't listen to broke people 42) Develop an empowering motivation for success 43) Enhance your energy 44) Believe that u're enough 45) Become conscious 46) Expect to succeed 47) Be willing to do what's hard 48) Manage & train your mind 49) Appreciate what u have 50) Focus on your net worth #2 is new to me which is not mentioned in his book. #9 is a constant reminder cause i have a tendency to focus on obstacles. Most of the cards are familiar to those who have read Harv's book or other personal development books. Many points/files are related to one another. Repetition is the mother of skill. By reading 2 cards per day while booting up computer, you can complete the deck in a month & a dozen times in a year. Better use of those small pockets of 'idle time' in our life with these reminder cards. Cut down/avoid unnecessary overpriced Starbucks coffee & buy this asset.

These are a bit larger than I was hoping they would be but they are portable and usable on so many levels and in so many different settings.
I really like them.

T. Harv Eker, is the man!! I love these cards, I carry them in my purse, they are so motivating and always keep me connected to my purpose and keep me focused on the Big Picture of life and what I want. You can pick up just even one card a day and be inspired. I recommend picking the top 6 and reviewing at least those 6 everyday. The value is great too, $11.00 is a steal!!
