T. Harv Eker is a renowned author, businessman, and motivational speaker known for his compelling concepts about wealth and motivation. He is most famous for his best-selling book, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, published by HarperCollins. Eker is also the creator of several highly-acclaimed courses including The Millionaire Mind Intensive, Life Directions, Wizard Training, and Train the Trainer. Furthermore, he is the producer and trainer of the world-famous Enlightened Warrior Training.

Eker's background is one of humble beginnings; he is the son of European immigrants who arrived in North America with only thirty dollars. Raised in Toronto, he commenced his working career at the tender age of thirteen to support his family. His ventures included delivering newspapers, selling novelties at fairs, and distributing suntan lotions at the beach.

After a brief stint at York University, Eker decided to pursue his ambition to become a millionaire, a journey that saw him live in multiple cities and start over a dozen businesses. Despite his hard work, success eluded him for years until he opened one of the first retail fitness stores in North America, rapidly expanding from one to ten stores in two and a half years. He then sold a part of the company to a Fortune 500 corporation, reaching his goal of becoming a millionaire.

However, Eker's fortunes soon dwindled due to poor investments and unchecked spending, leading him to develop his theories about people's mental and emotional relationships with money. He discovered that everyone has a financial set point, or "inner-money thermostat," which can be recalibrated. This realization formed the foundation of his book, enabling him to reset his financial blueprint, achieve sustained success, and become a multi-millionaire.

Eker remains committed to his vow of helping others achieve financial freedom, having positively influenced over 1.5 million lives worldwide.
