F L A S H....C A R D S...O N.,..H O W...T O...B E...R I C H !
Another self-improvement expert I once read, (DENNIS WAITLY, if I remember correctly), in his book, "THE POWER OF WINNING", stated that it's important to have REPETITION of good
guidelines, in order to remember them. I guess that's true
with anything....good, bad, or indifferent. If there isn't
enough REPITITION of sayings, ideas, guidelines....you probably
won't remember them all that much. For instance, listening to a motivational speaker may put you on "cloud 9" for a few hours, and make you feel ambitious and eager to help both yourself and the rest of the world. But...if you don't have a tape or a book to re-listen or re-read the motivational speaker's words, most of them will be forgotten by the end of the week -- not to mention for the rest of your life.

People these days are busy. Not only that -- but attention spans have evaporated to almost zero, thanks to the almost instantaneousness of movies, TV, and yes, even (at times), the Internet, as well. Look at the books and speeches of the 19th century, and compare them to todays' -- graceful circumlocution, (that means big words with great sentence structure), pervades
in the prose, say, of Lincoln and Poe....but not in today's
written word. Compare, even, the writing in newspapers of the 19th century with today's. For better or worse, we moderns demand a simpler syntax, and more elementary writing.

The book, 'SECRETS OF THE MILLIONAIRE MIND', by T. Harve Eker, is a slim, easy-to-digest volume. (It was also Number 1 on the best-seller lists of The New York Times, AND The Wall Street Journal, AND USA Today!! : ) But these cards, distilled from his book ,,by the same author, are even easier to understand -- and that is a great asset for us modern, sadly all-too-often "literarily-lazy" folk. Each card is a delightful, thoughful, and VERY succinct one or two sentence summary of a basic wealth-building principle. Most of them seem like just good common sense -- but how often are our own best instincts swayed, (and sometimes toppled!) by the negative attitudes of others? For instance, one of the cards reads:

.......Rich people admire other successful peo9ple,
.......poor people resent them. If you view wealthy
.......people as bad in any way, you can never be rich,
.......because how can you be something you don't liike?

To which I add: for every J. Pierpoint Morgan, there is also
a Robert Kennedy! It's hard to remember this, though, in a world of tabloid journalism, and paparazzi, which seem to delight in pulling down those who have "made it". One needs
these cards -- or other constant reminders of common sense,
common courtesy, common decency, and all over positivity, in a world too filled with negativity and pessimism.

One thing I am guilty of is believing that everyone knows everything better than I do. I've come, slowly, to suspect that this just may not be true -- there just might be some things I know better than a lot of people, (not many things...but a few.)
One of Mr. Eker's cards, (which I just received today), seems to have been written just for me, (and others who think the way I do, in this instance):

.......If you believe that you're 'not enough',
.......you'll validate that believe and create
.......the reality that you don't HAVE enough.
..............But if you believe that you're MORE
.......than enough, you'll create more than
.......enough in every part of your life. "

Oh -- so THAT'S why I'm a shopaholic! (One reason, anyway.)
True, I don't know everything...but I do know SOME things. Such aas....eat fruits, and vegetables, eat before 6:PM, eat and drink "volumizing" foods, (such as chocolate milk, instead of a chocolate bar), and keep a food diary. I've lost 30 pounds this way. I'm by no means an expert on the subject -- BUT I DON'T NEED ANY MORE DIET BOOKS, BECAUSE I ALREADY KNOW HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT...OR AT LEAST, HOW I CAN LOSE WEIGHT!

So, Mr. Ekar's cards have already increased my self-esteem, and are helping me with my shopaholicism! Let's see what other cards say....hmmmmm...

..............Thoughts lead to feelings, which lead to actions,
..........which lead to results.
..............If you choose to think and act like rich people
..........do, you can create the ressults that rich people
..........create."

Another self-help expert said it like this: "If you want to
be rich, see what poor people do, and DON'T do it!"

So, if a show comes on TV, highlighting the life, say, of
John Dillinger, it's better to change the channel....or perhaps rread up on the life of Bill Gates, Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Keller, JFK, FDR, or Abraham Lincoln!

On the reverse side of each of these cards is a illustrative
drawing, by artist SARAH WILKINS. All of the drawings are truly appropriate for the subject matter. Many of them could also stand as works of art on their own. Ms. Wilkins has a moderistic bent, with a realistic touch -- her works remind me a bit of the work of Max Earnst. Many have a dream-like quality -- but all are realistic enough to discern everything painted. Some of these paintings could easily find their way into the New York Museum of Modern Art, I feel! They illustrate Mr. Eker's principles in a way no one can miss!

You may agree with some of these cards more than you do others...but all the cards have the hallmark of being written
by someone who not only wants to make a profit from selling them, but also someone who sincerely wants to help others.
Maybe it's lonely at the top. Maybe he just wants to share
what he has. Whatever his reasons, these little cards, with
their "bite-size" bits of wisdom, are the
perfect companion to his more expansive, but still compact
book. Reading these "nuggest of knowledge" is easier even
than reading his small volume on which they are based...which means more repetition! Like a neophyte capitalist's counterpart to the Chinese "Little Red Book of the Sayings of Chairman Mao", these
cards can mold you into a fully-formed compassionate, (and wealthy!) capitalist....one who believes in the value of people, as much as you do in the value of money. Both are important, and valuing one often leads to valuing of the other, (as who does not want to ultimately aid his or her parents, or other kind relatives, friends, and others you'd like to help?)

So, buy these cards, and shuffle and read them! Every day!If their 3"x 4 1/2" size is too big to take to work, copy them down in a smaller notebook. No, these cards are not as mystical as Tarot cards. However - they are filled with common sense...and probably, good fortune, too! Remember, repetion is what gets ANYTHING across.... And these little cards...to be read at home, during lunch breaks..and even on the bus to work....make the repetition easy!

IN THE END, YOU'LL FIND, AS I DID, THAT RICH PEOPLE ARE NOT A
DIFFERENT SPECIES! THEY ARE HUMAN BEINGS, JUST LIKE YOU AND I, WHO
T H I N K....A LITTLE....D I F F E R E N T L Y. READ THESE CARDS,
(EVERY DAY!), AND YOU'LL FIND OUT ...H O W...THEY THINK DIFFERENTLY.
JUST A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY, ACTUALLY....BUT THAT LITTLE BIT MAKES
ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Buying these cards COULD easily be the first
step to fulfilling the wise adage: LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!!!!!!

See for yourself
I went to the Millionaire Mind Seminar for Free. For more than a year Eker had a two free-ticket offer in his book, and I bought the book and went with a friend. Obviously the people who gave the negative review didn't take that opportunity.

The MM seminar was an absolutely amazing experience! I would recommend it to anyone. For the person who said Eker isn't spiritual, he/she obviously never met the man. Eker is spiritual and wholistic. One of the ways he teaches people to become financially free is by changing their way of thinking from a negative "I deserve to suffer", "rich people are the devil," "If only I had enough to pay the bills ontime" mentality to a positive and uplifting "I deserve to be rich," "My time and life is valuable and I will only do things that honors me," "I can do BOTH, not either or" mentally. Eker brought a room filled with more than 1,500 people to their absolute best state with positive, coaching, and forward-thinking talks. In his book, he talks about overcoming fear and breaking an arrow -- a real arrow -- with your throat, and I did it! (It would take a book for me to explain all that I learn during those three days.)


The cards are great, they are beautifully colored and the messages are right on. If you follow what they said your finances will improve.

-- What are the chances that the people who gave the negative critiques are struggling financially. --

Excellent When Used As Intended
If you're into carrying little reminder cards and/or posting them around your home or office, these are excellent. They're all taken from the information in Eker's bestseller, and are great little reminders.

Apparently the other reviewers either don't like reminder cards (which is fine), or think all cards have to be spiritually enlightening. In my opinion, financial cards are as valid as angel cards or self-worth cards or any others.

If you learned from Eker's book and/or seminar and don't want to write his thoughts on Post-Its (as I was doing), these cards work great!
