Did you really need a book to tell you that? |
There's a difference between not giving you a specific plan to build your personal wealth, and not helping you achieve wealth.
There's no specific way to do integral calculus either. Unlike derivatives, where a single rule applies to
every formula, integrals have some general-purpose rules, that sometimes apply and sometimes don't, and you often have to combine multiple rules in new ways, and sometimes the only way to find the integral is to take the derivative of things until you get what you want.
But that doesn't mean that integral calculus classes are useless. Despite the fact that the class gave me no specific plan for finding an integral, I bet I can still find any given integral faster than people who haven't taken the class.
What Kiyosaki says is that anyone who says, "Buy this stock on this day, sell it 5 days later, and you'll be rich!" is full of it. But there are still general rules that apply to wealth-building that are as true for bloggers as for real-estate investors. Passive-income creation, multiple streams of income, safety of principle... (note, however, that Mr. Pavlina is a
much better writer than Mr. Kiyosaki, so he's often able to get across in a single blog post a point that takes RK 3 books.)
