17 Wealth Files I Learned from T Harv Eker

Welcome back to The Daily Mastermind. I’m George Wright III, your host. If this is your first time listening, make sure to hit that subscribe button so you don’t miss future episodes.

Today, we’re going to dive deep into the power of mindset. While many of you know me as a business, marketing, and strategy guy, I’ve come to realize that your mindset is the foundation for all lasting success—especially in business.

Let me tell you why this matters.

Your Inner Game Shapes Your Outer World

For years, I focused on tactical growth—sales, operations, and business development. But everything changed when I started working with T. Harv Eker, traveling the world and learning directly from him. Harv helped me bridge the gap between outer success and inner growth.

He taught me that your inner game creates your outer results. And no matter how strong your strategies are, if your thinking is off, you’ll always hit a wall.

So today, I want to shift your focus—not just to having a “positive mindset,” but to evaluating how you actually think in specific situations.

‍

What Are Wealth Files?

Harv Eker created a powerful framework called the 17 Wealth Files—contrasts between how successful, abundant-minded individuals think, and how scarcity-minded individuals operate.

As I walk through each one, I encourage you to reflect honestly:
Which side of the equation are you on right now?
Recognizing your default mindset is the first step toward meaningful change.

Wealth Files 1–5

1. Rich people believe: “I create my life.”
   Poor people believe: “Life happens to me.”
2. Rich people play the money game to win.
   Poor people play the money game not to lose.
3. Rich people are committed to being rich.
   Poor people merely want to be rich.
4. Rich people think big.
   Poor people think small.
5. Rich people focus on opportunities.
   Poor people focus on obstacles.

Wealth Files 6–10

6. Rich people admire other rich and successful people.
   Poor people resent them.
7. Rich people associate with positive, successful people.
   Poor people associate with negative, unsuccessful people.
8. Rich people are willing to promote themselves and their value.
   Poor people think negatively about selling and self-promotion.
9. Rich people are bigger than their problems.
   Poor people are smaller than their problems.
10. Rich people are excellent receivers.
    Poor people struggle to receive.

Wealth Files 11–15

11. Rich people choose to get paid based on results.
    Poor people choose to get paid based on time.
12. Rich people think “both.”
    Poor people think “either/or.”
13. Rich people focus on net worth.
    Poor people focus on working income.
14. Rich people manage their money well.
    Poor people mismanage their money.
15. Rich people have their money work hard for them.
    Poor people work hard for their money.

Wealth Files 16–17

16. Rich people act in spite of fear.
    Poor people let fear stop them.

Most people wait to feel motivated. The reality is, action comes before motivation.
Build discipline, not dependency on emotions.

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

The most successful people I’ve met—nine and ten-figure entrepreneurs—are always asking questions. They’re curious, humble, and hungry to grow.

Final Reflections

Here’s what I want you to ask yourself:

• Am I thinking in ways that create abundance or scarcity?
• Where am I defaulting to fear, limitation, or comfort?
• What small shifts can I make in how I think—not just in what I do?

Because the truth is: your thinking shapes your reality.
You may believe you're being productive and positive, but if your mindset isn't aligned with growth and abundance, you'll continue to hit invisible ceilings.
