T. Harv Eker is a Canadian author, businessman and motivational speaker known for his theories on wealth and motivation. He is the author of the book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind (No. 1 on the Wall Street Journal’s business book list) and founder of the seminar company Peak Potentials Training.

Harv’s writing and speaking often focus on his concept of the “Millionaire Mind”, a collection of mental attitudes that facilitate wealth. He suggests that we each possess a financial blueprint or an internal script that dictates how we relate to money, and that by changing the blueprint people can change their ability to accumulate wealth.

He argues that rich people believe, “I create my life,” while poor people believe, “Life happens to me”. Rich people focus on opportunities while poor people focus on obstacles; and rich people admire other rich and successful people whereas poor people resent rich and successful people.
