Description

Without self-discipline, you wouldn’t know how to manage a million dollars if you were to receive it. The book is full of exaggerated and sometimes completely false anecdotes -- for example, it appears the entire premise of the book is false -- there never was a rich dad and Robert wasn't wealthy until he embraced MLM and started selling get-rich books. The main lesson he taught in the office that day was that Robert could either end up like his employees who blame others for his problems, or he could take another path and become a wealthy man. Growing up, poor dad recommended that Robert read books while rich dad recommended that Robert master financial literacy. Robert shares, “If you are going to build the Empire State Building, the first thing you need to do is dig a deep hole and pour a strong foundation. If you are going to build a home in the suburbs, all you need to do is pour a six-inch slab of concrete. Most people, in their drive to get rich, are trying to build an Empire State Building on a six-inch slab.”

Before you win, you lose. Like all those times you fell off a bicycle before you learned how to ride it. Before people became rich, they lost money. Most people are more afraid of the pain of losing money than the happiness of becoming rich. The strategy of the average person is: “Work hard, save, and borrow.” But instead of working hard, they should aim to improve their financial intelligence so that they can make more money. The people who get rich the fastest are those who realize that money isn’t real.Robert shares, “In conclusion, I became both dads. One part of me is a hard-core capitalist who loves the game of making money. The other part is a socially responsible teacher who is deeply concerned with this ever-widening gap between the haves and the have-nots. I personally hold the archaic education system primarily responsible for this growing gap.” Chapter Seven: Overcoming Obstacles If you just want some motivation, please try another book such as " The Millionaire Next Door." If you want sound personal financial advice, please read "The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need." Learn business systems, sales and marketing skills, become better at communicating, negotiating, handling fear of rejection, fear of losing money and overcoming cynicism.

If you search for the best non-fiction (business) books list, the one that is popular even today is “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and after reading it, I understand why. It’s one of the best books on finance and it changed my perspective of looking at money. There is another option for the marketability of this book, but it is not one I like to think about: depressed people who feel their lives going nowhere trying to stave off depression by clinging to untenable dreams. For these types, self-help and new age books act like a surrogate (or additional) religion: bolstering their self-esteem and making them feel as if their dreams are truly within reach. The key to financial freedom and great wealth is a person’s ability to convert earned income into passive and/or portfolio income.” Your destiny relies on how you spend your money and your time. Your family’s future will be determined by your choices today.Rich Dad, however, never finished high school, and owns numerous companies that employ The Poor (read: stupid idiots) who work for him, because they’re The Poor. Rich Dad teaches us how The Rich do things, and why that’s all we need to do to join their ranks. Robert Kiyosaki had two fathers: a rich one and a poor one. One was highly educated with a Ph.D. and so intelligent he completed his undergraduate degree in only two years. The other father didn’t even finish the eighth grade. While both men worked hard, were successful, and earned a lot of money, there was always one who struggled with money. And the other dad, well, he became one of the richest people in Hawaii. Then, years go by and the dream draws no nearer. They get depressed. So they whip out this book (or another one like it) and suddenly feel like their millionaire retirement is only 6 months away! This makes them feel self-satisfied and complacent, so they end up doing nothing until suddenly, months later, they realize they're no closer to their goal. I'm not saying people shouldn't have dreams, and I'm definitely not saying not to follow them, and I know people get attached to their denial, but it's not going to make your life any better. When someone asks the average person, “What is your business?” they typically respond with their profession. However, they are not owners of the company they work for. They still need their own business. Otherwise, they’ll spend their life working for everyone but themselves. That’s the importance of minding your own business.

McDonald’s founder, Ray Kroc, wanted the land underneath every McDonald’s location for free with every franchise he opened Rich Dad Poor Dad is written in the style of a set of parables, ostensibly based on Kiyosaki's life.

For a comprehensive overview of personal finance, How to Money: Your Ultimate Visual Guide to the Basics of Finance by Jean Chatzky and her co-authors would be hard to beat. Steve Burkholder’s I Want More Pizza might be the best choice for teens who want (or need) to know the basics but cringe at the idea of anything resembling homework. Books on more specialized aspects of personal finance are also worth exploring, with Kalman Chany’s Paying for College being a good example. Why Trust Investopedia? Things don't improve from here. The book ends with more ego-stroking. To conclude, yes, financial education matters but part of financial education should be some form of social thinking. Basically, Economics and Business can't be studied alone, this is a recipe to creating selfish villains, poor dad was right all along. Take the time to develop your financial intelligence. Harness the power of your brain and asset column.” This book goes on my shelf of four books I read over and over, books I read devotionally. It totally revolutionized my outlook not only on making money, but also on education. I wish everyone would read this. I wish the close-minded, those who graduated from whatever school they attended and haven't allowed themselves a new thought since, could break through the stone walls they have erected around their souls and let this in. This message can save our world! I am not exaggerating.

Over 50% of business fail in the first 4-5 year of being open. This book is about how to make your business be successful and become a great business person. The book tells about how to make passive income and not to have a lot of liabilities. Another thing this book tells about the journey of Robert Kiyosaki and how he made it big. It tells the hardships he endured in creating a business. I have read some of this book before and here is a little about him. The rich don’t get taxed as tax laws help them to create jobs and provide housing. Thus, the government is dependent on the middle class for their tax revenue. Most financial problems are caused by trying to keep up with the Joneses.” You might choose to buy a bigger house, work harder, or get a promotion or pay raise.

Check-In

I read this book while in an Entrepreneur phase. On one hand, it is rather inspiring, in a John Madden sort of way. You see, John Madden (American football broadcaster) always makes everything sound easy, which may be how he coached the Raiders to the superbowl. He'll say something like "now what they need to do here is score a touchdown. I think that if they can do that, they will turn this game around". Assets add to your income. Liabilities add to your expenses. And the job of a poor person pays you an income that then covers your expenses. The job of a middle-class person pays you an income then pays down liabilities then pays expenses. However, for a rich person, their assets pay them an income. For example, their assets may give them rental income, dividends, interest, or royalties. Robert Kiyosaki recommends taking on jobs where you can learn new skills instead of jobs that pay the most. It’s not gambling if you know what you’re doing. It’s gambling if you’re just throwing money into a deal and praying.”
