I just finished reading T. Harv Eker’ s Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. I searched for the book and couldn’t find it in our bookstores, so I went to Amazon.com and got a copy. I was astounded when the book arrived–-in a dust jacket, signed by the author.OK. I really want you to know what a great book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is. It teaches you to think in a whole new way.

According to Eker, we’re all programmed as children with attitudes about money. If our mothers said to us, “We can’t afford it,” we tend to go through life with that imprint. Or, we don’t think we’re worthy of becoming wealthy. But there are many other scenarios. They all come down to one idea–-we have to open ourselves up to the possibility of money. We have to welcome it and EXPECT it to come to us and it does.

Seriously.

I tested this over the past few weeks since I read the book, and maybe it’s just coincidence, but I’ve made more money this month than usual–-a lot more. AND, I expect it to continue. I’m just here waiting for it.

Here are some quotes from the book that I found most fascinating:

“Leaders earn a heck of a lot more money than followers.”

“There’s nothing wrong with getting a steady paycheck, unless it inerferes with your ability to earn what you’re worth. There’s the rub. It usually does.”

“Rich people believe ‘You can have your cake and eat it too.’ Middle-class people believe ‘Cake is too rich, so I’ll only have a little piece.’ Poor people don’t believe they deserve cake, so they order a doughnut, focus on the hole, and wonder why they have ‘nothing.’”

I don’t know if T. Harv Eker is a genius, but he certainly understands more than just what’s on the surface. You can work hard, pour your life’s blood into your passion, but if you don’t proceed with the intention of getting all that you can, you’ll continue to live hand to mouth until you die.

Pffft!!! to that. Buy the book, and I guarantee that you’ll come away with the same feeling as I did. Perhaps you’ll have a power month, too, which will lead you to another and another. These affirmations are awesome. Just try them for a month, and I know you’ll agree.

It is also key to have a separate phone line. It’s virtually impossible to get any work done if the phone is ringing every ten minutes because the kids’ dentist is calling, or your aunt wants to chat for half an hour. Make sure that you distribute your business phone number to clients, employees and employers only.

Make sure that there is adequate lighting for reading and doing paperwork. Also make sure that you have your career goals posted in sight – these will remind you to get back to work when your mind starts straying. Remember, you will only benefit from the amount of work that you actually get done!

Also, post your daily schedule somewhere that you will see it. This schedule should map out the way that you will divide your time between family, leisure and work. By doing this, you will avoid taking extremely long lunch breaks, or running out the door to pick up that item you forgot to get at the grocery store when it pops into your mind.

Finally, make your space a place you want to be! By making your office inviting, you will probably enjoy your work more and find yourself gravitating toward it instead of being repelled by it. Just make sure that it’s not overly inviting – afternoon snoozes are a big no no!

First, a comparison to building an offline, bricks-and-mortar business, just for perspective. If you’re young, you might educate yourself in your field, go to work for someone else, and build your experience, reputation and equity. Then you could take out a business start-up loan, rent a storefront, buy all the necessary equipment, tools, furniture and merchandise, buy advertising — and wait years to work your way out of debt and make a profit.

If you aren’t young, have a family and all the expenses and debts that go with that,and are not making enough money working for someone else to get ahead, you don’t have the same options. Night school, years of part-time education and training, with your creditors hounding you every step of the way…sound familiar?

So you turn on your computer and wonder…wish…that one of those promises of quick riches could be true for you. I wouldn’t go there if I were you.

Here are some first steps to getting started as an internet entrepreneur:

1. Honest self-assessment: There are certain qualities necessary to being self-employed. If you can honestly say that you are self-disciplined, self-motivated, determined, self-confident, patient, persevering and maybe even a bit stubborn, you have what it takes.

2. Research: You need to spend some time researching the company, the products, and the people already working the business. Is the company solid and dependable, are the company executives accessible and responsive, are the products of high desirability and quality, and maybe most importantly, is there experienced, successful, and friendly team support?

3. Support: Surround yourself with cheerleaders, mentors, knowledge, and inspiration, both on- and offline. Your family, the company, and others who have succeeded where you are treading for the first time, should all be available to you. You should never feel that you’re all alone.

4. Infrastructure: Decide what you need: computer,printer, fax, phone; whatever your chosen business requires. Create an office space that suits your lifestyle and work needs. A corner of the living room can function well if you can work while the kids are at school or if their noise doesn’t bother you, but evening work may require a separate room. Don’t put your office in the bedroom if you work evenings and your spouse goes to bed early. You need your family’s support, not their animosity!

5. Realism: It’s tempting to try a business that makes promises it can’t keep. Many tell you that one person or a few make thousands of dollars a week and so can you. None of them will point out that maybe you will be one of thousands who quit before they make a cent. “Put money in your pocket today!” Yes, but will any go in tomorrow?

Accept the fact that any business worth its salt can take time. Maybe you can begin making money in a couple months, or maybe a year. You have to be able to maintain life as you know it for however long it takes. Understand that it won’t be a steady climb to the top from where you are today; the path will go up and down.

6. Selling someone else’s product or your own: Obviously, the big money is in selling your own product. Selling for another company is a great way to get your feet wet in internet commerce, however. At first you may feel like you’re floundering in an unfathomable sea of information, but at some point will come the knowledge that you’re “getting it.” Working for a good company will leave you knowing that you have what it takes to do it on your own, if you choose.

7. Business plan: This keeps you focused, helps you develop goals, strategies and work plans; and aids in evaluating your results. It can include contingency plans, and is never written in stone. As you learn and your business develops, the plan will evolve too.

Now that you’ve got the road map…take that first step! Your future begins today!
