T. Harv Eker Quotes and Sayings

There is a secret psychology of money. Most people don't know about it hence why most people never become financially successful. A lack of money is not the problem; it is merely a symptom of what's going on inside of you.

It all comes down to this: if your subconscious “financial blueprint” is not “set’ for success, nothing you learn, nothing you know, and nothing you do will make much of a difference.

If you want to move to a new level in your life, you must break through your comfort zone and practice doing things that are not comfortable.

Here’s an equation I want you to remember for the rest of your life: CZ = WZ. It means your “comfort zone” equals your “wealth zone.” By expanding your comfort zone, you will expand the size of your income and wealth zone.

Comfort kills! If your goal in life is to be comfortable, I guarantee two things. First, you will never be rich. Second, you will never be happy. Happiness doesn’t come from living a lukewarm life, always wondering what could have been. Happiness comes as a result of being in our natural state of growth and living up to our fullest potential.

Rich people are wiling to act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

Either you’re a person who will be stopped, or you are a person who won’t be stopped. You choose.

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.

The by-product is that they more people you help, the “richer” you become, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and definitely financially.

The single biggest difference between financial success and financial failure is how well you manage your money. It’s simple: to master money, you must manage money.

Poor people either mismanage their money or they avoid the subject of money altogether.

Saying “I’ll start managing my money as soon as I get caught up” is like an overweight person saying “I’ll start exercising and dieting as soon as I lose twenty pounds.”

It comes down to this: either you control money, or it controls you. To control money, you must manage it.

My definition of financial freedom is simple: it is the ability to live the lifestyle you desire without having to work or rely on anyone else for money.

The only way to earn what you’re really worth is to get paid based on your results.

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.”

When you are not willing to fully receive, you are training the universe not to give to you! It’s simple: if you aren’t willing to receive your share, it will go to someone else who is.

Get really rich and then help the people who didn’t have the opportunity you did.

How you do anything is how you do everything.

Living based in security is living based in fear.

Resenting promotion is one of the greatest obstacles to success. People who have issues with selling and promotion are usually broke.

If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!

Rich and successful people are solution-oriented; they spend their time and energy strategizing and planning the answers to challenges that come up, and creating systems to make certain that problem doesn’t occur again.

Remember, your motto is, if they can do it, I can do it!

If a hundred-foot oak tree had the mind of a human, it would only grow to be ten feet tall!

Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don’t want.

Nothing has meaning except for the meaning we give it.

I believe negative thinking is like having measles of the mind. Instead of itching, you get bitching; instead of scratching, you get bashing; instead of irritation, you get frustration. Now, do you really want to be close to people like that?

Rich people are committed to enough to do whatever it takes. Period.

You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you create in the marketplace.

Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on rewards. Poor focus on the risks.

There is no such thing as a really rich victim.

You can be a victim or you can be rich, but you can’t be both. Listen up! Every time, and I mean every time, you blame, justify, or complain, you are slitting your financial throat.

Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.

Rich people are committed to being rich. Poor people want to be rich.

It’s simple arithmetic: “Your income can grow only to the extent you do.”

In our course we teach that “no thought lives in your head rent-free.” Each thought you have will either be an investment or a cost. It will either move you toward happiness and success or away from it. It will either empower you or disempower you. That’s why it is imperative you choose your thoughts and beliefs wisely.

A lack of money is never, ever, ever a problem. A lack of money is merely a symptom of what is going on underneath.

Whatever results you’re getting, be they rich or poor, good or bad, positive or negative, always remember that your outer world is simply a reflection of your inner world. If things aren’t going well in your outer life, it’s because things aren’t going well in your inner life. It’s that simple.
