T. Harv Eker People Quotations

How do rich people think and act?

People are so afraid of hearing "No" that they often don't even try. You have nothing to lose by just asking! A good friend of mine once told me, "Harv, a closed mouth won't get fed." Open your mouth! Say something if negotiations aren't going the way you'd like.

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.

Rich people are almost always excellent promoters. They can are willing to promote their products, their services, and their ideas with passion and enthusiasm.

Poor people choose to play the role of the victim.

Rich people are excellent receivers. Poor people are poor receivers.

Rich people expect to succeed.

Energy is contagious: either you affect people or you infect people.

The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and abundance.

Rich people do not back away from problems, do not avoid problems, and do not complain about problems. Rich people are financial warriors.

Rich people see every dollar as a "seed" that can be planted to earn a hundred more dollars, which can then be replanted to earn a thousand more dollars.

Rich people collect land. Poor people collect bills.

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

Rich people take advice from people who are richer than they are. Poor people take advice from their friends, who are just as broke as they are.

Many successful people have fear, along with doubts and worries. The difference is that those who know how to succeed also know how to take action despite these worries and fears. You too can learn how to master fear, by understanding that fear is in our own minds, and therefore under our own control.

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

Poor people and most of the middle class are not willing to be uncomfortable. Remember, being comfortable is their biggest priority in life... The only time you can actually grow is when you are outside your comfort zone.

The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want. Rich people are totally clear that they want wealth. They are unwavering in their desire. They are fully committed to creating wealth. As long as it's legal, moral, and ethical, they will do whatever it takes to have wealth. Rich people do not send mixed messages to the universe. Poor people do.

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

Rich people believe in themselves. They believe in their value and in their ability to deliver it. Poor people don't. That's why they need "guarantees."

Rich people manage their money well. Poor people mismanage their money well.

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

I have found that the richest people I know are also the nicest.

I think big! I choose to help thousands and thousands of people!

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

Rich people constantly learn and grow. Poor people think they already know.

Rich people associate with positive, successful people. Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people.

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

Rich people...take responsibility for the results in their lives and act upon the mind-set "It will work because I'll make it work."

Rich people admire other rich and successful people. Poor people resent rich and successful people.

Let me put it bluntly: anyone who says that money isn't important doesn't have any! Rich people understand the importance of money and the place it has in our society. On the other hand, poor people validate their financial ineptitude by using irrelevant comparisons. They'll argue, "Well, money isn't important as love." Now, is that comparison dumb or what? What's more important, your arm or your leg? Maybe they're both important.

Rich people think BIG. Poor people think small.

Part of your mission in life then must be to share your gifts with as many people as possible. That means being willing to play big.

Rich people believe - I create my life; poor people believe - life happens to me

Rich people are bigger than their problems. Poor people are smaller than their problems.

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.

Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value. Poor people think negatively about selling and promotion.

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.

From now on, I want you to practice reframing other people's negativity as a reminder of how not to be.

Research shows that the happiest people are those who use their natural talents to the utmost.

If you believe in your value, how could it possibly be appropriate to hide it from people who need it?

There is a secret psychology of money. Most people don't know about it. That's 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.

Helping people grow and achieve their dreams is the fastest route to success.

The biggest obstacle to wealth is fear. People are afraid to think big, but if you think small, you'll only achieve small things.

Poor people will do almost anything to avoid problems. They see a challenge and they run...the secret to success, my friends, is not to try to avoid or get rid of or shrink from your problems; the secret is to grow yourself so that you are bigger than your problems.

Rich people choose to get paid based on results. Poor people choose to get paid based on time.

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

The world doesn’t need more people playing small. It’s time to stop hiding out and start stepping out. It’s time to stop needing and start leading. It’s time to start sharing your gifts instead of hoarding them or pretending they don’t exist. It’s time you started playing the game of life in a “big” way.

Rich people work hard and believe it's perfectly appropriate to be well rewarded for their efforts and the value they provide for others. Poor people work hard, but due to their feelings of unworthiness, they believe that it is inappropriate for them to be well rewarded for their efforts and the value they provide.

If we’re going to strive for spiritual growth, we have to be willing to put concepts into practice in our everyday lives, in all relationships with all people. You can’t separate your “spiritual life” from your “work life.” They’re both your life! In the same vein, you can’t separate money and happiness.

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

Happy people build their inner world; unhappy people blame their outer world.

Poor people choose now. Rich people choose balance.
