In my 20’s, while struggling to make a success out of myself without much to show for it, a friend of mine once told me, “You know Harv, you have a way of making things much harder on yourself than you really have to.” He wasn’t anywhere near rich or even successful, at least not... Read more »

Conditioning, conditioning, conditioning. It’s not just a mantra for athletes. In the Millionaire Mind, we go marathon – the distance of life – not a race to a million. It’s not something to train for occasionally. It’s something we live consistently, yes? Even if we’re not always at peak level – at there will be... Read more »

If what you’ve been looking for is where you’ve been looking, chances are you’d have already found it by now. That’s what we all start out doing: looking for opportunities in the outside world.

  Notice how the universe supports us in living. We are intended to have the perfect combination of gases so we can breathe, and food that just grew from the ground for our picking well before we became agricultural communities.
