T. Harv Eker Bio
Using the principles he teaches, T. Harv Eker went from zero to millionaire in only two and a half years by combining a unique brand of “street-smarts” with heart. His high-energy, cut-to-the-chase style keeps his audiences spellbound. Harv’s motto is "talk is cheap," and has the ability to get people to take action in the real world to produce real success.
Harv is the author of Secrets of the Millionaire Mind (#1 New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today) and SpeedWealth, and has also developed several highly acclaimed courses, seminars and workshops.
The son of European immigrants who came to North America with only $30 in their pocket, Harv grew up in Toronto but spent most of his adult years in the U.S. Money was scarce throughout his childhood, so at age 13, he entered the work force. As a teen Harv delivered newspapers, scooped ice cream and sold novelties at fairs. After a year at Toronto’s York University, he decided to take time off to pursue his dream of becoming a millionaire.
During Harv’s early adult years, he started more than a dozen different businesses; however, financial success eluded him. After several years of frustration, he opened one of the first retail fitness stores in North America. The business grew to ten locations in only two and a half years. Harv then sold part of the business to a Fortune 500 company for $1.5 million.
With the sale, Harv achieved his dream of becoming a millionaire; however, in less than two years, through a combination of poor investments and unchecked spending, the money was gone.
It was at that point that Harv began developing his theories about people's mental and emotional relationship to money. He realized that his “inner-money thermostat” was set for a specific amount of financial success, and that everyone has a financial set point. Harv’s most profound discovery was that this money blueprint could be changed. Using the principles and practices found in his book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, he reset his own blueprint to not only create success, but to keep it and grow it, and become a multi-millionaire.
During his years of struggle, Harv vowed that he would help others become rich as well. As the founder and president of Peak Potentials Training Inc., he has touched the lives of over 250,000 people, helping them move closer to their goal of true financial freedom.
