Mind Your Millionaire Matters

I recently read two books that I believe, together, are catalyist to transforming the fundamentals of attaining, keeping, and growing wealth. The first is 'Why We Want You To Be Rich' by Donald Trump & Robert Kiyosaki. The second is 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind' by T. Harv Eker. So why would I make such a claim...
The Trump / Kiyosaki book takes you through the steps of understanding your 'role' in the economy and marketplace with an intellectual approach to money and the growth of it. This 'role' is explained with four quadrants. They are Employee, Self-Employee, Business, and Investments. The explanation is that when you transform yourself into the business quadrant and out from that build cash flow investments(quadrant four) continually back to yourself, you live with upmost 'freedom' and wealth.
This intellectual approach to understanding your relationship to the outer world with greater financial resources always growing & available is simple to understand. I think it is the 'left brain' approach to understanding wealth.
T. Harv Eker's book 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind' takes you through the same steps but does an interesting approach. He uses the emotional approach to money and the growth of it. The 'right brain' approach. He has what he calls a 'Financial Blueprint' and says he can, from speaking with you, instantly tell if you are wealthy or not so wealthy- your financial blueprint. He takes you through the understanding of the 'emotional blueprints' that restrict or allow you to have, keep and grow wealth.
After reading both books, one after the other, it struck me how both are so important, and should be treated as one. The intellectual and emotional convergence of understanding wealth, the meeting of 'left brain' and 'right brain'. Everything firing at once. All cylinders, in harmony, in time, all tuned and operating at maximum potential and effiency.
My recommendation? Read both. Get your left and right brain thinking at once. You won't regret it. Then you will mind your millionaire matters.
Until the next post...
