His works have been translated in fifty-one different languages for markets in a hundred-and-one various countries across the world, eventually leading him to countless bestsellers lists across Asia, Australia, Europe, Mexico, and South America.

Robert Kiyosaki’s first book Rich Dad, Poor Dad was a sensational hit from the get go and has been on the New York Times best sellers list for six years as of November 2007. The sequel to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Rich Dad’s Cashflow Quadrant also landed on New York Times best sellers as did a third book titled Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing.

Robert Kiyosaki was also inducted in Amazon.com’s Hall of Fame in 2005, coming in the top twenty-five, at number twenty-three, just edging out the likes of such literary geniuses such as Tom Clancy and William Shakespeare (!). With all these accomplishments Robert Kiyosaki has become one of the most successful writers of motivational books of a financial nature.

The purpose and mission of Robert Kiyosaki is aimed to help people achieve economic success and stability. Robert Kiyosaki has a certain style in motivating, and his attitude towards money is defiant and pro-active. These values have found its way into his many books of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series, and in their deliverance has helped many people understand how to make money work for them. Applying these learnt skills, which develops into financial literacy, and as Robert Kiyosaki believes, will create an understanding of how to use money in the real world. Concepts and attitudes, along with definitions of words such as wealth and assets, determines how somebody handles money, and the way Robert Kiyosaki understands it, if somebody has the right attitude and defines such key words properly than anyone will be on the right track in achieving financial success. Robert Kiyosaki stresses this point severely because he believes that if people learn how money works through various processes such as accounting, law, etc, people will have the right idea of how all money in the world is earned and spent. Robert Kiyosaki reinforces these ideas in a series of board game he has called Cashflow which has for its main theme things concerned with how all money in the world is made, created, spent, and accumulated.

If people would learn these skills they would understand how money works in the real world and would avoid falling into debt at an early stage in life. Furthermore, Robert Kiyosaki argues that the way people define such words as wealth and assets relates to how these people achieve financial security. Robert Kiyosaki believes that people think of assets as things like big screen televisions, cars, and homes when really they are liabilities, expenses that eat into your income and in turn do not make any money. Robert Kiyosaki’s definition of assets is that assets are things that earn money, that generate income, and put money into your pocket, and not expensive, luxury, or material goods. So naturally Robert Kiyosaki believes that learning these skills a young age will go along way in developing an attitude that will make you smart about money and achieve wealth.

Robert Kiyosaki has teamed up with Sharon Lechter in the writing of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad books, and his wife Kim Kiyosaki in the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation. All three of them, Robert Kiyosaki, Kim Kiyosaki, and Sharon Lechter are co-founders of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation. Mrs. Kiyosaki has developed her own line of Rich Women, Poor Women which expresses many of the exact same views of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad but in a different way, directed towards a different audience. Much of the success of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation is based on the reinforcement of financial principles, thus the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation concepts and attitudes towards money are all expressed complimentary throughout all the different product lines.  All the products mentioned up to now include all of Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad, Poor Dad twenty-six books, the Rich Women, Poor Women series, and the Cashflow board games, but the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation also has an series of books that are more technical in nature but are meant to be comprehended easily and to provide an advisory account of different topics, not to mention the series of audio and visual products such as tapes, CDs, and DVDs and software.

As Robert Kiyosaki and Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation’s main area of expertise is in the financial world, and their major talent and success is that of educating the masses, it then would not be surprising to see them on many television shows, as radio guests on different radio shows, and of course their own lectures and events. All this positive exposure to the products of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad Corporation has lead to a vast subculture, a community of likeminded people sharing the same dream of financial success and security, and who are all willing to take the necessary actions to begin their pursuit. So it should be of no shock that Robert Kiyosaki teamed up with one of the most famous and successful real estate tycoons, Donald Trump in 2007 to co-write a book titled, Why We Want You To Be Rich , which tackles questions and fears that are arising in this time of economic uncertainty. With this community of followers, of believers in Robert Kiyosaki’s financial philosophies, than it should be of no surprise that Robert Kiyosaki will continue to be a source of inspiration in the pursuit of financial freedom for years to come.

Robert Kiyosaki recommends MLM Home Based Business

Perhaps best known for his financial education products, Robert Kiyosaki wrote this latest book to praise the benefits of owning a network marketing business. Although Kiyosaki made his wealth traditionally, without the help of a network marketing business, he believes that these businesses are the wave of the future because they embody the new Information Age economy. He believes these businesses are a good way to begin your journey to become rich.

Rich Dad’s the Business School: For People Who Like Helping People (Second Edition)

Kiyosaki begins by reviewing the several ways that one may become rich. However, the path offered by his Rich Dad may be the most realistic and also hold the greatest profit potential. Rich Dad’s path to success is simple, "build a business first, reinvest in the business second, buy real estate third, and only then buy luxuries paid for by your assets" (98). Most people fail because they lack the discipline and perseverance needed to follow through with the plan. This behavior often characterizes those who lack emotional intelligence. A successful person possesses analytic, financial, and emotion intelligence. Such a person succeeds by understanding that success is accelerated through the process of "rejection and correction."

Kiyosaki prefers network marketing businesses because there exists very few barriers to entry. Those who succeed in network marketing are able to combine their ability to sell and lead with their love for teaching. Kiyosaki writes, "Your job is to clone or duplicate someone just like you" (58). This is what ultimately determines the success of any network marketing business.

When convincing others of the value of a starting a "personal franchise," more commonly known as a network marketing business, be sure to cover several important areas. First, refer to the cashflow quadrant to inspire motivation and provide direction. Second, emphasize wealth rather than income (a.k.a cashflow versus capital gains) by explaining the income statement and balance sheet and how acquiring assets, specifically businesses, is crucial to developing long-term passive revenue streams. Third, introduce Metcalf’s Law. Succeeding in a network marketing business demands the practical application of Metcalf’s Law, which states that a network’s economic value grows exponentially with the number of network users. Fourth, remind others of the fact that network marketing is the fastest growing business model in the world today. Big companies such as AOL Time Warner, Berkshire Hathaway, and Citibank all utilize network marketing. This comes as a surprise to many because network marketing businesses go largely unseen. Finally, emphasize the important of education. When searching for a network marketing business to join, educational opportunities should weigh more importantly in your decision than commissions or products.

Robert Kiyosaki’s best-selling book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad: What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money – That the Poor and Middle Class Do Not!, has sat on my nightstand for a number of years.

Within it, Kiyosaki advocates bold entrepreneurship and personal conviction as a means to achieving financial success and freedom; simply working as an employee will never generate significant wealth. Rich Dad, Poor Dad has been enormously successful. What advice does Kiyosaki have to give now?

“There’s an assumption that once one has achieved a certain level of success, everything is easier. Not true! I face the same dilemmas and struggles today I did 30 years ago.

It’s only the paradigm that has shifted. The way I perceive these problems is different; there’s a different sophistication level. But the lessons I learned as an entrepreneur working on a Velcro and nylon product decades ago are still relevant,” Kiyosaki explains.

Before becoming a best-selling author, Kiyosaki was a product developer. He counts his inexperience and naivete at that time as a blessing. “If, at the time, I knew how much I did not know, I would have never started. I would have stayed in the Marine Corps, done my 20 years, and collected a paycheck. It’s a great thing I didn’t know,” he says with laughter.

It’s the fearless acceptance of the mistakes he made (and, according to him, continues to make) as a result of that naivete that has allowed him to be so successful. “I blundered along then and I often feel like I’m blundering along now. What’s changed? I have smarter advisors,” he reveals.

But as intelligent as they may be, Kiyosaki’s advisors aren’t responsible for his willingness to try and try again. “The biggest skill I have is making mistakes. I’m pretty much an expert now. In the corporate world, if you make mistakes, you’re fired. But in the entrepreneurial world, if you’re not making mistakes, you’re not learning. I enjoy making mistakes. As far as I can tell, every mistake is accompanied by a priceless lesson. I’ve built my life around these lessons.”

While most people avoid fear rather than seek it, Kiyosaki adheres to a different principle. “If I don’t have butterflies in my stomach, there’s no sense working,” he says.

Kiyosaki can explain his perspective on failure and fear in numerical terms. Simply put, the number of failures you experience is a reflection of the degree to which you’re putting yourself out there. And having the courage to put yourself in a position to fail will ultimately lead you to success. If you never try, you’re never going to fail. But more important, you’re never going to succeed.

“The biggest problem wannabe entrepreneurs have is believing they’re going to ‘do what they love’ — but really, a big part of being a successful entrepreneur is doing what you don’t want to. And failing is part of that.”

Although Kiyosaki admits that the economy is “terrible,” he doesn’t view it as an impossible climate. “If you don’t make someone else money, they’re not going to give you their money. This principle is true in any economic climate. Show your client how you’re going to make them money. It may not be as easy now, but it’s possible. Get creative,” advises Kiyosaki.

But don’t, he says, talk too much. “Most people overpitch. We have two eyes, two ears, and one mouth. Observe body language and act accordingly. Most salespeople talk too much — don’t.”
