Default Robert Kiyosaki - Rich Dad Series

Hey Guys,

now that this forum can't stop bothering me to write something because I did not write anything in the near past, I decided to start a discussion about Robert Kiyosaki and especially about his Rich Dad Series.

So I read the first book Rich Dad Poor Dad last week and I loved it. It gave me many insights about my life, my financial pathway, and my future. I knew before that I wanted to be an entrepreneur, but his book really motivated me to now fully get passionate about my dreams. Furthermore I now am more aware of my financial situation, about my spending habits, and about the need for financial literacy. At the same time I read The E Myth revisited, and it too helped me a lot in planning my entrepreneurial career.
Since then I read a whole lot more books and magazines about many topics that will help me in achieving my dreams. I read financial magazines, financial homepages, watch financial and economics tv shows, read more books about IT, about the topic of consulting (which I want my business to be in), about stocks (just a hobby. I was interested in stocks when I was a child so now this passion came to me again) and many more.

The thing is, in this forums and around the web many words talk bad about Kiyosaki to be essenceless when it comes to special tips to do. I mean, there are a million other people trying to sell their own special method or formula to ultimate success, but Kiyosaki says for himself that there is no such formula. You have to be self aware and have to work hard for becoming a self made millionare.

Long story short. I don't understand the bad mouth about Kiyosaki because he helped and motivated me a lot. Since then I buy more books from him and other related books.

What do you think about this topic?
