I've read a couple of Kiyosaki's other books. The content sounds very similar.

I'm curious what the Donald has contributed...I watched the first season of The Apprentice and got a pretty good idea of his approach.

As you said, change how you define yourself. Even if you're an employee now, start thinking of yourself as being in the business of You Inc. or LLC, as you prefer.

Get knowledge in how to identify great opportunities, find them, invest, manage and voila, you're rich

The key about all of this comes to one element, do something you enjoy.

1. You're not going to make money right away
2. You don't want to resent the investment/business afterwards when you are successful.
3. You're going to be better at something you do enjoy.


My definition of something you enjoy...you jump out of bed in the morning instead of hitting snooze. You can spend hours doing it and forget to eat...unless of course, eating is something you really enjoy.

I've never heard of this book, but it was on the discount shelf and looked interesting so I decided to pick it up.

In the book they talk about the collapsing dollar, and why saving money in a bank will never make you rich. They also talk about the 4 models of people:
Employees, Small Business Owners, Investors, and Big Business owners and why some are rich, and others aren't. It has everything to do with your mindset which is what they get into.

I found this book more to be more about financial education than success and wealth in general, which is why I enjoyed it.

Has anyone else read this book? What do you think about it? Any recommendations for more books like this??
