A THREAD on key actionable insights from the book "Secrets of the Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Eker:
1/
“I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me.”
Touch your head and say… “I have a millionaire mind!”
2/
If you want to change the fruits, you will first have to change the roots.
If you want to change the visible, you must first change the invisible.
3/
Either you control money, or it will control you.
To control money, you must manage it.
First you start properly handling the money you have, then you’ll have more money to handle.
4/
I don’t know about you, but where I went to school, Money Management 101 wasn’t offered.
Instead we learned about the War of 1812, which of course is something I use every single day.
5/
Money is extremely important in the areas in which it works, and extremely unimportant in the areas in which it doesn’t.
6/
If your motivation for acquiring money or success comes from a nonsupportive root such as fear, anger, or the need to “prove” yourself, your money will never bring you happiness.
7/
By unlinking your money motivation from anger, fear, and the need to prove yourself, you can install new links for earning your money through purpose, contribution, and joy.
8/
The Law of Income: You will be paid in direct proportion to the value you deliver according to the marketplace.
9/
Your programming leads to your thoughts; your thoughts lead to your feelings; your feelings lead to your actions; your actions lead to your results.
Everything begins with your thoughts—which are produced by your mind.
10/
No thought lives in your head rent-free. Each thought you have will either be an investment or a cost.
It will either move you toward happiness & success or away from it. It will either empower or disempower you.
That’s why it is imperative you choose your thoughts wisely.
11/
If you want to move to a higher level of life, you have to be willing to let go of some of your old ways of thinking and being and adopt new ones.
The results will eventually speak for themselves.
12/
Rich people believe "I create my life."
Poor people believe "Life happens to me."
Rich people focus on opportunities.
Poor people focus on obstacles.
Rich people associate with positive, successful people.
Poor people associate with negative or unsuccessful people...
...Rich people have their money work hard for them.
Poor people work hard for their money.
Rich people act in spite of fear.
Poor people let fear stop them.
Rich people constantly learn and grow.
Poor people think they already know.
13/
It’s the same with people as well as all other living organisms: if you are not growing, you are dying.
14/
If you shoot for the stars, you'll at least hit the moon.
15/
If you want to fly with the eagles, don’t swim with the ducks!
16/
It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time.
You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.
17/
Because we are creatures of habit, we need to practice acting in spite of fear, in spite of doubt, in spite of worry, in spite of uncertainty, in spite of inconvenience, in spite of discomfort, and even to practice acting when we’re not in the mood to act.
18/
Your field of focus determines what you find in life.
19/
Nothing has meaning except for the meaning you give it.
20/
The number one reason most people don't get what they want is that they don't know what they want.

A THREAD on timeless insightful ideas by Marcus Aurelius:
1/
The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.
2/
The things you think about determine the quality of your mind.
3/
The happiness of those who want to be popular depends on others; the happiness of those who seek pleasure fluctuates with moods outside their control; but the happiness of the wise grows out of their own free acts.
A THREAD on most insightful mental models from the book "The Almanack of @naval" by @EricJorgenson:
1/
Wealth creation is an evolutionarily recent positive-sum game.
Status is an old zero-sum game. We’ve been playing it since monkey tribes. It’s hierarchical.
2/
If you want to make the maximum amount of money possible, if you want to get rich over your life in a deterministically predictable way, stay on the bleeding edge of trends and study technology, design, and art—become really good at something.
3/
The most important skill for getting rich is becoming a perpetual learner. You have to know how to learn anything you want to learn.
Things change fast now. Now, you have to come up to speed on a new profession within nine months, and it’s obsolete four years later.
