Freedom and Lifestyle by Design: Investing & Living in Portugal and Beyond

In 'Secrets of the Millionaire Mind,' T. Harv Eker shares his journey from financial struggle to becoming a millionaire. The book focuses on the inner game of wealth, explaining how one's 'money blueprint' – the beliefs, thoughts, and attitudes about money inherited from family and upbringing – determines financial destiny. Eker introduces 17 'Wealth Files' that describe how rich people think and act differently, providing action steps to help readers reprogram their subconscious mind for abundance and adopt the habits of successful millionaires. The book emphasizes the importance of identifying and changing one's money blueprint to achieve financial success and maintain it over time.

The E-Myth Revisited challenges the common assumption that most businesses are started by entrepreneurs. Instead, Gerber argues that most businesses are started by technicians who understand the technical work but not the business itself. The book introduces the concept of the E-Myth and explains that successful business owners must balance three roles: the Entrepreneur (the visionary), the Manager (the planner and organizer), and the Technician (the one who performs the technical work). Gerber emphasizes the distinction between working 'in' your business and working 'on' your business, and he provides strategies for systemizing and scaling businesses, including the concept of the Franchise Prototype.
