Many people dream of becoming a millionaire yet, for most, it will always remain a dream…
Wouldn’t it be useful if you had an extremely experienced and knowledgeable mentor on-hand to point you in the right direction, help you overcome the fear of losing, and teach you what you need to know to be successful?
Every successful business owner or investor has, at some point in his or her life, made the decision to seek mentors. It’s not always easy to find a mentor and, choosing the right one for your situation is critical - some people like to have many mentors, some prefer to work with just one, but once you’ve made the decision to seek a mentor, where do you start looking?
There’s never been a better time to seek a mentor – There are more books and audio programmes out there than you can shake a stick at so, rest assured, there’s something available that’s appropriate to your needs…
The purpose of The Mentors Project is to gather together our favourite mentors and let you read and sample a little of what they are about. We have read and listened to the work of the featured millionaire mentors and decided that they all have something to offer – If we don’t like the work of a mentor, we don’t feature them on our site! On the flip side, we obviously haven’t read and listened to everything out there, so we will be adding more millionaire mentors to the site as time goes on.
When you hover your mouse over a mentor, you’ll be able to read a brief description of the mentor’s work and a few key quotes, as well as see our "mentor rating" in the top corner – there is no great science to this rating, we simply decide based on the quality of the information given by the mentor and, more importantly, how accessible the work is to the reader or listener. This will be a star rating between 1 and 5 but, as I said, we only feature the mentors we like, so this is purely an illustration of our preferences!
We hope you enjoy the site and, with a little help from the mentors, go on to be the millionaire of your dreams!

The President and founder of Peak Potentials, one of Canada’s leading, personal development companies, T. Harv Eker made his fortune building one of North America’s first retail fitness chains.
He is the author of the New York Times #1 bestseller “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” and is an expert in the field of money psychology.
After making, and then losing, his first fortune Eker discovered that the brain has a “money blueprint”, formed during childhood, which sets the level of success we unconsciously expect from life. Changing this blueprint automatically increases our level of success in life.
His books and seminars, with their unique, "cut-to-the-chase" style teach you how to quickly and easily reset your money blueprint to any level you desire. According to Eker it’s simple: If you think like rich people think and do what rich people do, chances are you’ll get rich too.

Quotes by Robert Kiyosaki:
“Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They’re both important and schools are forgetting one of them.”
“I have a problem with too much money. I can’t re-invest it fast enough, and because I re-invest it, more money comes in. Yes, the rich really do get richer.”
“Money is a kind of base subject. Like water, food, air and housing, it affects everything yet for some reason the world of academics thinks it’s a subject below their social standing.”
“We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.”

Quotes by Warren Buffet (taken from the book “Warren Buffet Speaks” by Janet Lowe):
“I’m the luckiest guy in the world in terms of what I do for a living. No one can tell me to do things I don’t believe in or things I think are stupid.”
“Somebody once said that in looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if they don’t have the first the other two will kill you. You think about it; it’s true. If you hire somebody without the first, you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”
“Most people get interested in stocks when everyone else is. The time to get interested is when no-one else is. You can’t buy what is popular and do well.”
“You’re dealing with a lot of silly people in the marketplace; it’s like a great big casino and everyone else is boozing. If you can stick with Pepsi you should be okay.”
“People would rather be promised a (presumably) winning lottery ticket next week than an opportunity to get rich slowly.”
“You have to think for yourself. It always amazes me how high-IQ people mindlessly imitate. I never get good ideas talking to other people.”
“When you combine ignorance and borrowed money, the consequences can get interesting.”
“You should invest in a business that even a fool could run, because someday a fool will.”
