One of the greatest books on building businesses!
I have read this book in its entirety. When I found a copy of this awesome book, it was hard for me to lay it down, even while I had work to do. Robert Kiyasaki has written many books, and is a very popular guest speaker in a direct sales company that I am involved with. What had interested me in this company was knowing that this well known business writer, and author, was a popular guest speaker.
His book was to me a true success story on how to build a good business, and an empire of businesses. One does not build an empire with just one business, but must invest in multiple businesses to allow for an empire to be born.
This book is, by far, the greatest book that I have ever laid my eyes on, and had read from cover to cover.
This writer speaks of his failures, as well as his successes. He had created a surfer velcro wallet company in Hawaii. The business had gone so wild that he was soon in for some competitors. One of his problems was not receiving a patent on his creation. So, his company had fallen. But that did not stop him from receiving some advice from his "rich dad." With the advice from his "rich dad," he had grown a geat empire of businesses, and is now a retired writer, and business coach.
One of the greatest lessons that I had learned from Robert Kiyasaki was the five Ds:
1: A dream (I call this, a vision)
2: The determination
3: The Drive (I call this, the motivation)
4: The data (I call this, the information)
5: The Dollars (I call this, the money)
With these five points, one could acquire the wealth that they would need. Notice the first point. Nothing can be accomplished without a vision for this success. A goal must be written, and thought about daily, in order for one to succeed.
I have often told people that I am not rich, nor can be the one to teach others how to become wealthy. However, I can tell you of some of the greatest people who have succeeded, and teach how they have gained that success. Robert Kiyasaki is one of those men.Read full review
