The book of “Rich dad poor dad” Is definitely a lighthouse for me. I read it around 10 years ago and started to buy rental houses. Now I am happily retired from my 9-5 job thanks to Robert Kiyosaki.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is a classic book due to the inspiring points it delivers in terms of personal financial awareness. As many comments left here say, it's insane that you expect to get rich just by reading a book. This book is definitely great, but If you just wanna find some tips to gain some instant edges to make money, there must be something not right in your mindsets. The greatness of the book is telling you there is a direction to financial success but in this direction, different people can walk through different pathways to reach their goals, specifically, one of the points the book contains is that the key to becoming rich is not to work at a job but to buy assets, which is good enough to prove the greatness of this book.
@@zensoulrecords , it's a good book and easy to understand ..... but not exactly though .... like Chinese National Father says, 知易行難，知難行易 .... I have been old enough to saw and listen to Robert's video decades ago
If I remember correctly what I read, Robert Kiyosaki wasn't suggesting to his readers to trade/invest stocks by insider news, but was talking about becoming an insider who owns the business or take part in private placements deals etc that you will gain equity shares even before the public (retail investors) get the chance to buy them. Basically it's wholesale vs retail concept, though not many mom and pa investors are financially qualified to gain entry to such wholesale investing games.
I think Robert probably has inspired more people to become real estate investors than any other person. I am active in real estate investment communities and I see people thanking him all the time. His book changes people’s mindset and give people knowledge.
Personally, I like technology and have started and sold a few companies through the years. Think I am doing much better than the average Joe. Many people take what Robert said too literally and that's the problem.
Please don't take what he said too literally. Listen as a general guideline only. 7 years after I finished college, I started my first company with very little money and think I did pretty well even though I am not super-rich (for that, you are going to need some luck). I only bought reliable cars and kept them for a very long time.
