Wealth and Wellness Way #2: Weekend Reading—Top 10 Takeaways from The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley 📕
What if your next great financial breakthrough came not from working more hours… but from reading the right book? 🤓
This weekend, pick up The Millionaire Mind by Thomas J. Stanley—a revealing deep-dive into how America’s quiet millionaires think, behave, and build wealth.
Spoiler alert: it’s not about luck, brilliance, or a Lamborghini in the driveway.
Stanley’s research uncovered a profile that might surprise you: most millionaires are unassuming, self-made, value-oriented learners. In fact…
The average millionaire reads at least one nonfiction book per month—and not just for entertainment. They’re investing in wisdom, insight, and personal growth.
Here are 10 of the most powerful lessons from The Millionaire Mind—perfect for a weekend of reflection and recalibration:
1. Frugality Beats Flash.
Most millionaires drive used cars and live in average neighborhoods. They value freedom over flexing.
2. Discipline Is King.
Millionaires credit self-control—not IQ or even education—as the #1 driver of their success.
3. They Avoid Consumer Debt.
They may leverage debt for growth, but they loathe high-interest liabilities.
4. They Instill Independence in Their Kids.
They teach their children to fish—rarely handing them the fish.
5. They Marry Wisely.
Stanley found that a supportive, like-minded spouse is a massive wealth multiplier.
6. They Choose Purposeful Careers.
Think small business owners, self-employed professionals, and entrepreneurs—not just C-suite execs.
7. They Read. Constantly.
Stanley’s millionaires average one nonfiction book per month, often on personal finance, investing, or leadership. Lifelong learning is a lifestyle, not a luxury.
8. They Seek Counsel.
They’re not “know-it-alls.” They hire advisors, ask questions, and listen deeply.
9. They Learn from Failure.
Many experienced major setbacks—but used them as stepping stones, not stop signs.
10. They Redefine Success.
They measure success by freedom, control of their time, and impact—not applause or appearances.
CTA: So here’s your weekend challenge: Read for your future. Think for your future. Act for your future.
Start (or revisit) The Millionaire Mind.
Journal your biggest takeaway.
And remember:
You don’t get a millionaire bank account without a millionaire mind first.
