There are two common questions that people who are getting into business tend to ask themselves. The first is, “What if this doesn’t work?” And the 2nd, which is what I want to discuss in more depth today is, “What if it’s not right for me?” In other words, what if you start this venture, invest your money, make some money…or even a lot of money…but end up hating it?!? When we say we want something that’s “right” for us we’re really saying we want to be successful and happy, down to our soul. We want to be doing something read more

Can success bring spiritual fulfillment? Let’s start with the first element of enlightenment: it’s all the same damn thing! There is no duality. Everything is one. It’s all one thing with different looks and different energies. If it’s all oneness and everything is part of that oneness, then material success, i.e. getting rich, must be part of that oneness, unless we make success mean something else, something different rather than an expression of the oneness of all. Separation is an illusion, so we cannot separate spirituality, or kindness, or generosity, from material success, or money, or relationships, or anything until read more

One of the best questions I’ve ever been asked, but rarely ever get asked is, “What is it really like to be rich?” You’d think I get asked that often but I don’t, so when I heard it, it seemed rather odd. After thinking about it a little, my answer was and still is: being rich is the same as anything, or it can be way better if you want it to be. What do I mean? You have a lot more money, and that gives you, usually, a lot more freedom if you allow that. It gives you a read more

I recently did a call where everyone participating had a traditional 9-to-5-like job. I’ve never had that before in a teaching situation. I’m normally involved with a lot of entrepreneurs. But on this call I hardly knew how to talk to them. After a little resistance to what I was saying they finally started to open up about their collective biggest concern. They were all worried about their financial future and God, they should be! They wanted to know the fastest way to financial freedom. I said to them, “Listen, the biggest mistake most people make is equating rich with read more

This is a story I use in some of my programs, where I had a student that was going to open a Mediterranean restaurant. He needed about $130,000 to do that. He was all excited about it and was confident in its ability to be a huge success. When you get an idea that you’re passionate about, you better feel that way. If you don’t, how can you expect anybody else to? The thing is…while that’s good, you gotta use your head, too, or else you can end up losing your ass! So this student says to me, “I have read more

Circumstances never make you happy or unhappy. Circumstances are neutral. They’re always neutral until you step into the picture. You don’t need to focus on happy. You’re already happy. It’s a given. Do you focus on having skin? Do you focus on having a hand? Eyes? For those of us who are fortunate to have them, we don’t. Happiness is no different. It’s a birthright. It’s what the universe intends for us. Look at the beauty of nature in its various shapes and forms and textures, or the awe-inspiring abundance of a universe that we will never literally ever understand. read more

We want money, which is an important part of our success, but on a spiritual and embodied level, it’s really not about the money if we really want to be successful and happy. So how can this be? If you stop and think about it, most people lean toward money as being VERY important, even though they may say to themselves, “It’s not everything.” We may say we believe that it’s not everything, but for most people, they focus only towards having it. People’s perceptions, thoughts, habits and actions can’t help but reflect that. Their path then becomes too much read more

Okay so I have to admit…I made a tiny mistake! If you’ve been part of our ‘community’ for any amount of time, you’ve most likely realized that you’re getting emails signed off from me, Jesse Eker. And recently we’ve been getting loads of emails from students asking who the heck I am. Which made me think… Shoot, I forgot to introduce myself! So for your weekly Million Dollar Life Lesson this week, T. Harv Eker (my dad) and I made a quick video for you.

If there’s one question starting entrepreneurs ask themselves the most–the one question that is guaranteed to make you your own worst enemy–it’s this: “What if this doesn’t work?” My predominant thought before I became what most people would call very, very successful–my big mental enemy, was a lack of confidence. Even though outwardly I showed that I was confident, inside I was constantly asking myself, “What if this doesn’t work?” But you see, why would I have confidence when I had not proven that anything I was doing worked yet? Everything I touched turned to sh*t. However, I didn’t understand read more

Are you an expert in something? Anything? A topic you know just as good or better than anyone else? I want to highlight the example of a student of mine who’s a car mechanic that spun his expertise into a franchise. He started out with a single garage, but thanks to some of our trainings he put together a talk on how to make sure you don’t buy a lemon: a used car that looks good on the outside but actually has more problems than the car dealer wants to admit. He titled the program, “The 10 Biggest Mistakes Almost read more
