CHANGE YOUR MIND... AND THE REST WILL FOLLOW
Would you like to know the secrets of the millionaire mind? The truth is as simple as this: wealthy people think differently than poor people. Their different ways of thinking have been crucial to supporting their paths to wealth. Incredibly, the millionaire mind set is one that anyone could choose to cultivate.
In the previous articles we talked about the three major ways that everyone first learns about money: direct instruction, modeling and specific incidents. Now that we understand how you developed your ideas and feelings about money, we can turn to uninstalling the old "files" in your mind and installing the new ones - the "wealth files" that will be the basis of your new attitudes towards money.
The new ideas you are about to take in are simple, yet deep. They help real people make big changes in everyday life. With these new ideas will come new choices.
Once you have gotten in the practice of thinking about these new ideas, you will actually notice when you are in the middle of a thought that uses your old concepts. Using your new millionaire mind set, you will be able to consciously change your focus to a more open, creative, and successful way of thinking.
The Wealth Files introduced in these articles essentially create a play book for the money game. You could think of it as a millionaire mind book. Your new beliefs and thought habits will guide you in the direction of wealth.
Keep in mind that putting these concepts to work as thoroughly as possible is key to allowing the knowledge to soak deeply into your mind as they do in a millionaires mind, so that you can create permanent and lasting change.

Rich people believe "I create my own life."
Poor people believe "Life happens to me, regardless of what I do."
For many people who have not explored the ways they learned about money as a young child or have not yet "opened the millionaire mind book", it seems that they cannot change their fate. They feel trapped and impoverished, and it shows in their lives.
These people feel powerless. They react to their feelings by blaming others, justifying their situations - often by saying "well, money isn't important" even though they are in debt and struggling constantly to make enough money, or simply by complaining about money.
There will always be people to blame, justifications to make, and lots and lots of complaining to do but none of it will help you change your relationship with money. In fact, all those techniques will use up the energy and attention you need to start making the changes you want to make.
The secrets of the millionaire mind begin with this one: you are in charge of your own life. When you find yourself having thoughts like, "I can't do anything to change this situation", or "I'm just one person," it's time to stop in your tracks, say, "Rewind! Do over!" and state out loud, "I am a powerful person. I create my own life-and it's time to start right now."
The power to make things happen in your life lies within you, no one else.
