Is the difference found in their education, intelligence, skills, timing, work habits, contacts, luck or their choice of jobs, businesses, or investments?Here is the book that teaches the principles of getting out financial struggle and also having a Millionaire mind set.

However, regardless of what he did and no matter how hard he had worked, he just couldn't achieve success. Eventually, after many years of frustration, Eker hit the financial freedom dream. He opened one of the first retail fitness stores in North America and grew the business to ten stores in only two and a half years. Then, he sold part of the company to a Fortune 500 corporation.

With the sale, Eker reached his dream. He was finally a millionaire. However, in less than two years, his money was gone. Consequently, through a combination of poor investments and not checking his spending, Eker was back at his original net worth again.

He realized that his “inner-money thermostat” was set for a specific amount of financial success, and that everyone else had a financial set point too. His most profound discovery was that this money blueprint could be changed. Using the principles and practices found in his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, Eker reset his own blueprint to not only create success, but to keep it and grow it, and become a multi-millionaire. Eker is the author of the best-selling books, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind and Speedwealth
