A Review of Rich Dad
Poor Dad
There are many fans of the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by
Robert Kiyosaki. Personally, my opinion of Rich Dad and Poor
Dad is that it is a very basic book. It teaches you the proper
mindset and the basics of thinking like a business owner. It
shouldn't be the last book you read on this subject, and you
should definitely not take everything he says as absolute or
gospel. You need to go out there and learn as much as you can
about business, finance, and how to make money.
If you need more information on how to get
rich, Rich Dad Poor Dad isn't the book to read. There's no
step-by-step plan in there that shows you exactly how to become
a millionaire.
Robert Kiyosaki makes the Rich Dad Poor Dad
interesting by including lots of stories, and entertaining
glimpse of his personal life. If you want to read it for
entertainment then I don't think you will be disappointed.
If you already know the basics then reading
Rich Dad Poor Dad might be a refresher course for you, but some
of you may get bored.
Things like "the poor work for money, and the
rich let money work for them" is things that most aspiring
millionaires already know. Also, he says don't rack up a ton of
credit card debts by spending it on TV, vacations, expensive
dinners, etc. and instead use your credit wisely to borrow
money for business purposes and for things that will generate
you income to cover your loan interest plus give you a positive
cash flow. If you don't know that already, then go read the
book Rich Dad Poor Dad.
I believe that there's always more you can
learn about business, finance, credit and financing, starting
your own business,and asset protection. There is so much you
need to know on the journey to becoming a millionaire. You
should never stop learning after your bachelor degree, but if
you are a true aspiring millionaire you'll know that a degree
is just a piece of paper and it doesn't make someone a
millionaire. It's your ideas, innovation, and your actions that
will make you rich.
Whether you're a college dropout or a graduate,
you will become rich because you'll find a way if that's truly
what you want.
