Well, I don't know what it means that the last book I finished in 2008 was a financial book, but I wonder if it might have any effect on the upcoming year. Of course, as much as I enjoy the Rich Dad series, I do not intend to become an entrepreneur (mostly because I have a REAL problem spelling that without the help of spell check!). Still, even without having a goal of building a business, I found the fourth book in the "Rich Dad" series to be very thought provoking, and it gave me a ...more
This book is full of general but practical advice on planning, launching, and growing a business. The focus is more on growing a large business than on becoming self-employed. In fact, Kiyosaki seems to view self-employed professionals as underachievers, as if those people fall short by not building large businesses. Kiyosaki speaks a lot from firsthand experience, but he also draws lessons from businesses and entrepreneurs.

Why I Read this Book: I was about to quit my job to pursue some of my true interests. This sounded relevant. It certainly was.
Review:
A lot can be learned from Robert Kiyosaki and his experiences. I enjoy his books because they not only take an innovative perspective on things, but it is a perspective from which he lives day in and day out. I found myself at the book store a year or so ago with a pile of books having to do with Entrepreneurship and being your own boss. I w...more

Thanks, Tanner, for letting me borrow this! One more business book for the memory bank. All good concepts, and like many of Kiyosaki's books, a little on the repetitive side. The things that stuck with me:
1) Make sure the following bases are covered:
- Product
- Legal
- Systems
- Communications
- Cash Flow
(A good guide to follow for the newbie entrepreneur.)
2) Don't market yourself as being cheap - this will only get you cheap custo...more

This was the second book our Business Study group went through this Spring. The authors begin with a discussion of what makes entrepreneurs different, including the observation that “The reason there are more employees than entrepreneurs is simply that our schools train young people to become employees.” This statement is followed with a short paragraph on the Prussian model of education that is the basis for our government-run education system. They go on to share how to identify the difference...more
I learned that being employee-minded=middle class=broke. I am amazed at the overhead it takes to start a business, which makes me incredibly grateful that the business Will and I are building has the system it does because it's all of the benefits of building a big business, without the overhead costs! Amazing!

This book gave me a great understanding of how to build a business, how to avoid common pitfalls, and how to prepare for growth in your business. As I am a self-employed author on a part-time basis, wanting to become a full-time author, this was a very powerful and useful book for me.
I read this book about the time I was contemplating going out on my own. I didn't end up going "full-time" on my own but instead created a nice business on the side. This book is a good read but may not answer the question "should I do it" for you.
The book contains very useful topics based on Mr. Miyosaki's real-life experience. It is very good source of wisdom and "how-to" tactics. I really licked the book.
I've always liked Kiyosaki's helpful and easygoing style. There isn't tons of meat in this book, but there are some instructive anecdotes.
great for any aspiring entrepreneur.
Very good book on entrepreneurship.
Borrowed audio book from the library. Loved it! Took copious notes. Much was a refresher from other books, but good to hear again.
This was a very inspirational and insightful book. It forces you to ask yourself the hard questions: "Can I be an entrepreneur" "Am I ready" "Can I overcome the fear". Kiyosaki's writing style is simple with several real life examples to back up his lessons/tips. I prefer his partner's style (Sharon Lector) of writing a little more because she cuts through his story telling and hands you the meat of the lesson. All in all it was a great book that continues on the tr...more
Great book. If you're thinking of starting up a business or working for yourself (yes, those two are different), read this first. Or if your small business is struggling, check it out. It's a nice sequel to "Rich Dad Poor Dad".
As for me, I quit my job and Then read this book, so it's helped me see where I've gone wrong, so that's good.

A must read for any entrepreneur...or the spouse of one. It really explains the mindset of an entrepreneur, so you can see if you have the right frame of mind to be one and you can better understand your spouse or child, etc if they are one (and it's making you nervous)
makes you wonder why we studied at university and takes away the falls sence of security of having a job.
I'll give it 4*'s because at the time it was quite good and it's still probably not bad. It's more motivational perhaps than practical.
Not that I'm planning on quitting my job any time soon, but If I ever do, I'm glad I read this. I used to be scared of my finances. Not anymore.
This was good, it encourages you to stay employed while building your business. Tells you what common traps to avoid.
...becarefull with Kiyosaki, his writing is "too inspirative & tendencious" sometimes..:-)
A great introduction to would be entrepreneurs in the rich dad way.
create business...if failed, learn and start creating again
it prepares you to start your own business
