When asked to share some of the secrets to success experienced by many successful entrepreneurs, an increasing number of them mention Robert T. Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" early into the conversation.
Stock market mentor and teacher-lecturer Gary W., whose financial workshops have attracted thousands of students who take his courses on a recurring basis, offers a book list to his student that is continually updated. "Rich Dad Poor Dad" has appeared near the top of this list ever since its publication.
Many of today's success stories are those of enterprising men and women who have flourished in real estate, the financial markets, corporate environments as well as a growing number in the dot com world. They often claim to have recognized a common key concept early on and worked hard to overcome a certain mindset. This mindset has been pointed out clearly in "Rich Dad Poor Dad."
Renowned lecturer Robert Kiyosaki recounts lessons he learned from his highly educated and respectable biological father as well as those from the father of one of his best friends, a middle-school dropout who , despite traditional thinking, became a multimillionaire. Robert learned lessons early on from both of these men and has been able to cultivate what he calls a "Rich Dad Poor Dad" mindset.
Listeners to the "Rich Dad Poor Dad Audiobook" can follow along with Kiyosaki as he recounts how he applied the teachings of his Rich Dad, coupled with the experiences of his brilliant but financially struggling Poor Dad, to build his own empire and achieve what is, by anyone's standards, financial success.
Although Kiyosaki made much of his initial investments in the real estate arena, it is the nuggets of wisdom, applicable to any field of monetary endeavor, that bring entrepreneurs back to his books time and time again to hone their financial acumen.
"I have always been told that Rich Dad Poor Dad is a must read for anyone looking to escape the dreaded 9-5 lifestyle and living paycheck to paycheck future that has become the norm in a majority of households. Robert Kiyosaki holds no punches in this book and can hurt your feelings if you're a sensitive employee. As for the rest of us looking to escape that lifestyle and become financially free, this book is a no brainer. The narrator reading this could have been a little better but he wasn't terrible, not only is this a must read, but it should be revisited multiple times. "

" Trying to implement this training with my child and establishing a business is harder when the lessons are later in life but I am glad that I got the lesson. "
— Meg, 8/9/2022" great book. the fact monsegu has an issue with usong trump as a role model is embarrassing he is one of thebmost successful people in the world let alone north america. your a fool monsegu. also note trump is barely mentioned in this book, like for a few seconds max. he mentions so many more people, alot more and repeatedly "
— the real monsegu, 1/28/2022" Be aware that this book is only about getting rich, money and getting out of the rat race. In this instance, it is a good book. The first part, in my opinion, is good: we are driven financially by fear, greed. We go to work because of fear and ignorance. Money is the carrot an the illusion. His simple definition of accounting is very simple and make sense: - Assets. Brings you money - Liabilities: takes money from you. If you want to be rich, you need to identify what is really an asset. A property may not necessarily be an asset. On the rat race : 1 - Middle Class (MD) and Poor are the productive elements of the economy. Their labour makes The Rich rich. 2 - MD and P are slaves to the rich. They live pay checks to pay checks. 3 - Our schools put MD and Poors in boxes to be productive 'employees'. Employees are stuck in the rat race, crated by this system, and keep rich in control. 4 - The Middle class and the Poors pay taxes and feed the system, that keep them in the rat race. 5 - The Rich have ways not to pay taxes and grow their capital. 6 - You must build your asset column, so you can exit from the rat race (pay checks to pay checks). The second part, is a politicised "business coaching", for the people that are still reading the book. In my opinion, the Macro Economics behind the book are Rubish: the state is bad, taxes have been invented by the poor and middle class, we should not pay taxes, state workers are costing us money, trump is his role model, etc...

On the other hand I hear him in the back of my head when we make financial decisions so he had some effect on me. "
— Daisy, 1/28/2014" Eh. Some good ideas/points but not very realistic. "
— Amy, 1/25/2014" Discusses practical methods of becoming rich told in simple language. The book has very good advice that I will definitely keep in mind when dealing with personal finances, but I hated the overtone of the book where it was quite obvious that the author thought money was the most important thing in the world and anyone who disagreed just "didn't get it". "
