What tin can I say. I had fended off queries similar this in year'due south past, simply this mannerly soul caught me on a rare kind of solar day. So flash dorsum forward after I agreed to a sit down downwards with him. He speaks of secretive projects, people he wants me to meet, random success stories of people who run in his circle, and it all stems from the question after he hands me this volume. "What do you know virtually network marketing?".
I was given a couple days to breeze past this before I met with the guy again to discuss what I idea and where this might atomic number 82 to. And while I didn't know much nigh network marketing before mitt, I can adjure after reading the volume, I still didn't know really that much after either. But I definitely know enough. Walking right into his prediction, information technology definitely floored me and I couldn't help but give my 2 cents.
The "WOW Reads" library is what I call the drove I have over the years put together for my work family unit full of self help literature. Ranging from inspirational and motivational, to sales and leadership, to simply obviously personal development, it is a wonderful variety. Blessed by the names like Steve Farber, Og Mandino, John C. Maxwell, Stephen Covey, John Wooden, Jon Gordon, Brene' Brownish, and a fabled listing of historical figures nosotros can learn from, you will non find Kiyosaki anywhere near this library. . .
It started to plow most the fourth dimension Kiyosaki was explaining his trials and tribulations in 1985 when he and his wife were living in their old chocolate-brown Toyota and doing little jobs here and there to put food in their bellies and "their habitation" (gas in their car purposefully alluded to for dramatic effect). Ever so often a friend would stride upwardly and assistance them out in their time of need. And when these friends would ask them why couldn't they just get a job to steady their lives out, this would have been the time your typical self assist writers would draw an inspirational message of how they were in dire straights and a positive mindset with a solid work ethic helped them become out of it. Non Kiyosaki. . .
In and so many words in all the pages that followed, Kiyosaki'southward response to his friends, his readers, and to everyone was, "why would I waste my time with work when I'm higher up information technology. . ."
Friend or no friend, you lot may accept a skilful idea how wide I would open up my door for a person that has that kind of mindset. But all things considered, by 1989, as Kiyosaki loved to celebrate, he was a millionaire. . . Congratulations, well done, y'all figured out a system somehow and made your buck. And now he is hither to share the secrets of his success for the pocket-size price to pay of his book (to which he gloats he has at present 7 New York Time'south Best Sellers) or one of his seminars (yous don't want to know what those run for). I wish non do delve as well deep into his theories or egocentric misleadings that he truly does care about you lot getting rich, but I will sum up some his rhetoric. Most of this educate derives from a four corner chart that all professionals can be chalked up to. The "E" quadrant stands for employees and the working grade. The "S" quadrant for self-employed, small-scale business owners, and career specialists (lawyers, doctors, firefights, etc). The "B" quadrant regards big business and corporate heads. The "I" quadrant is for investors and investment opportunities. From hearing that, one could assume that bulk of the population resides in the Due east and the Due south quadrants while the prestigious few like Kiyosaki and his friends like the ofttimes name-dropped Donald Trump belong to the B and I quadrants. And co-ordinate to Kiyosaki, the working class of the E and S who trade their time and free energy for money are doing it wrong.
It's a tough pill to swallow when you really sit down with ane of these I and B quadrant people and actually ask them "what is information technology that y'all actually practise?". A uncomplicated question, but yous'll find it complex, complicated, or downward right hard to become a straight respond. And non because you merely might be an E or an S person and your small encephalon can't possibly grasp information technology like they will lead you to believe. When it comes down to it, they're gamblers. They deal in but equally much monopoly money as they exercise legitimate currency, and they strategically build their house of cards businesses/projects/systems in hopes that the slightest of friction doesn't send it toppling down.
Yes, Kiyosaki played with the house money and became the rare exception to come out on summit. He, similar Trump, and and so many other mogul's sit atop the Forbes listing and preach their "swing for the fences" propaganda with how they risked everything to go everything. The book farther preaches that in order to be a B or an I person, you need to have the determination to take those chances and throw all caution to the wind. . . Merely do I need to remind y'all that less than ane% of total population in the earth controls over 99% of the wealth? So how many of those thousands, millions, billions of people out there are struggling for the pipe dream of becoming the one%, risking information technology all, and losing. But to be told, "oh well, I guess you are simply an E or an Due south person subsequently all". Barring the rare exception, and fifty-fifty those moguls on the Forbes listing get tagged with a defalcation every at present and again, the firm ever wins. . .
Then here again is Kiyosaki, who after blathering for some time almost his self-made success introduces the brilliant idea of "network marketing". Turn the next page later on he introduces it, I child yous not, the starting time affair he confesses is "I didn't really make my money from network marketing nor do I technically. . . . Practise . . . . network marketing". And yet, hither he is dedicating an entire book about it and pocketing the profits. To all the I and B quadrant thinkers out there reading this now, this is what he refers to as creating an "asset" that makes coin for you. . . And damn am I glad the dude who had me read information technology just pushed his re-create my style instead of making me buy my own and make my own contribution of supporting the problem.
I am personally all for letting people believe what they want to believe and to do what's in their rights to practice. However, I begin to have bug when someone is attempting to force what they believe onto someone else and flat out tells them they are bad or they are wrong if they are not doing it their fashion. Kiyosaki and all his B and I cult, yes cult followers, are free to shoot for the dream and go for their wealthy lifestyles. Only don't yous dare look at the working class people who make this world plow and tear them down or make bottom of their lives. Peculiarly when bulk of the doings of this so-called cash moo-cow existence preached about here is typically chalked up to a bunch of shady dealings, pyramid scams, ponzi schemes, or whatever sham is beingness devised to cheat the working class they're slamming at the same time.
It should exist no stupor that when this guy sat dorsum downwards with me the 2d go effectually, the faux empathy in his happy-go-lucky positive outlook demeanor couldn't shake that I had just called his "bible" flat out pretentious and condescending to decent homo beings. To my credit, I said it with a smile and in the inviting fashion to engage in the e'er dying form of debate. Only like nigh people these days, they are right, yous are wrong. And when I gave the chance for him to explain what this projection really "does", on came the I and B quadrant mumbo jumbo to tip-toe effectually the question that he but chalked up to "I wouldn't get because I was stuck on the other side of the chart and people similar me would never understand". He told me that it wouldn't be a bully fit, he wished me well with my job, and that if I ever changed my listen to give him a phone call and he would refer some names since he wouldn't most likely exist looking for anybody at that signal anymore. . . Kiyosaki would be and so proud.
Life lesson learned and my first Neglect grade of the year on a book. WOOT

Do not waste your time with this garbage, you'll regret it. I certain practice.
What a load of rubbish. More of a self-help book as information technology is devoid of any sort of "business concern of the 21st century". The author was probably looking to line his own pockets by talking up the scam of network marketing and attempting to push it on his readers.Practise not waste your fourth dimension with this garbage, you'll regret information technology.

This book uses a valid theory of possessing assets that generate ongoing income to endeavor to sell a poor application of the theory. After pg. 30; this book turns into a complete sales pitch for this new "Business organisation of the 21st century" model *eyeroll*. Kiyosaki definitely believes on developing assets that generate income but he is not out in that location edifice a network marketing company; his nugget he developed was his personal brand which allows him to keep slapping his proper noun on the same content and selling it to people.
The largest and almost profitable companies in the 21st century are NOT network marketing companies. This should be fairly obvious but if you lot'd like some support for this statement look at what companies etch the Dow Jones Industrial Index or the South&P 500. A "business of the 21st century" that is not prevalent in the 21st century is probably not the business of the 21st century. Kiyosaki repeatedly makes the statement that network marketing isn't about selling which is complete bs. Just because it'due south non about selling products doesn't hateful it's not about selling; in my book selling dreams still counts as selling and that what network marketing amounts to in regards to a concern model. On an unproblematic level, businesses make coin by A)selling something or B) providing some service. The notion that "the whole point [of network marking] is non to sell a product but to build a network." Edifice a network certainly sounds more than noble than "selling a production" but in the context of network marking, what is edifice a network? Information technology is having "an ground forces of people who are all representing the aforementioned production or service to share with others." And how do you become this "army of people"? You tell them how bang-up network marketing is and all the ways they will do good if they join you lot in the business concern! And all they take to exercise is attend a presentation (or drink the kool-assist from this book) and pay a fee then it could be all theirs ! (hint hint: disarming someone to do something for a fee is chosen a sale). And this he says, is what the business is all about. So yes, network marketing is indeed most selling a "product" which happens to be a dream. To those who retort,"nobody says its easy so it's not selling a dream," I'd respond that when the undertones of your sales spill is "these people did it and have financial freedom at present, so you tin can do it too" then you are selling a dream. Which fundamentally; there's zip incorrect with however I personally object to information technology as a matter of principle. Some people are okay with selling dreams to their family and friends; I'one thousand just not.
I'd take a pregnant amount of more than respect for the network marketing idea if those companies framed themselves equally providers of professional development and entrepreneurial skills and individuals pay a membership fee for access to that skill grooming and are able to earn committee past selling the services to others. Much more authentic and transparent business organisation model than what Kiyosaki describes. This would imply that there was legitimate professional development and entrepreneurial skill training taking place which may not be a completely accurate assumption but that's a different chat.
But what do I know...

Somewhere in between a pyramid scheme, Amway, and Avon. If someone easily y'all this volume, run away.

The good: Information technology introduces readers to the power of a network in business. I thought I knew what this book was going to be nigh, merely was surprised.

It's important to know that this volume is substantially trying to sell you on joining a network marketing company. However, even after I read all 115 pages of this book, I was even so unclear on HOW it worked, and how it would bring you fiscal independence without encoding some kind of pyramid scheme.
That being said, it's a quick and easy read. Propaganda, but quick and easy.

Robert Kiyosaki is just gross.

Whereas the majority of the books on my read shelf come up from my favorite authors, recommendations from librarians and friends, or hearing buzz about my favorite topics and genres, this is the first book that has come up to me thanks to a trip to Lowe'due south. Allow me to regale you with a true story earlier my review.We hearken back to early July 2019, where we find our protagonist (me) shopping for granite countertop sealers at Lowe's, decked out in a sleeveless shirt from my college. I more often than not hit up Domicile Depot, as it is closer to my firm, just they do not stock my preferred make there. So I stand there in the aisle, picking out what I need. I turn to go cheque out when I hear, "Oh a [my college] grad! I went to [higher nearby my higher]!"
I turn to meet an unassuming human being in his early forties before me. (For this story, I will call Tom and so I don't have to call him random Lowe'south human being.)
Not wanting to be rude, I say, "Oh I had some friends who went in that location."
Tom: "What brings you downward South?"
I reply, "A teaching task."
Tom: "No way, I used to exist a teacher. I eventually left to work in consulting."
Me: "I do some consulting on the side, besides."
He looks at me for a moment. "You know, maybe a guy like you could work with me."
Knowing that extra income is e'er nice for public school educators, I say I'd be interested and we exchange numbers. A few days after, he texts me to set a meeting at a cafe inside the local Wegman'due south, which seemed a chip awry.
Nonetheless, I forged alee. I roll upward to the meeting and nosotros make small talk. I detest small talk, but I do savour money, and so I engage with him.
Eventually, it turns to business. He begins telling me about his business organization mentor who also happened to go to college and besides happened to be a teacher, but he retired at 26 every bit a multi-millionaire. I should note that a generic name was given at i point, but he by and large referred to him as mentor, so I volition do the same.
Long story short, Tom had asked mentor to be his mentor and teach him how to business. I have no idea what the bodily business is, but it manifestly makes a lot of money. Tom then begins to ask me about my financial life.
Do I live the life I've ever dreamed of? I truthfully reply that education isn't exactly a windfall, only it pays the bills.
Could I be happier with more money and fiscal freedom? Yeah... just I experience like nigh people would say yes to that also.
(At this point, yous're probably wondering how this story is going to eventually tie into a book review. I promise that we're getting there before long.)
Tom tells me he was in my shoes when he was my historic period. He had told his mentor most our meeting in Lowe'southward. Little weird, but certain, I gauge I'm remarkable. Tom said he had asked his mentor if I could exist brought on like he was.
I was confused at this bespeak because I thought this was a quasi-interview to work for Tom as a consultant. Tom tells me his mentor kind of does what Amazon does, simply smaller and differently - so basically, not like Amazon at all?
He and then drops a bombshell. Tom'due south mentor makes money from something chosen "network marketing." When asked if I know what this is, I said it kind of sounds similar BeachBody or MaryKay or the likes. Tom tells me information technology is, but it isn't. Such clear details I am getting.
Enter the book. (See, I promised it would be coming shortly.)
Casually, Tom slides this book across the table to me. It'due south a slim volume, clocking in at about 115 pages. He asks how fast I can read it. Flipping through it, I say it should maybe accept me a few days. He tells me the book is mine to read and mark up as I'd similar, and I should send him my thoughts equally I read it. Equally we're wrapping up, he wants to go another meeting on the calendar.
He says, "How does Thursday work for you lot?"
Somewhat perplexed, as I have learned no existent information in the by hour, I reply, "Well that'south my commencement total day of work, so I don't know if that will work." I should besides note that this is Monday evening, effectively giving me three days to read this unabridged book - and I was in the center of Pines already (which was fantastic).
He pushes for a Thursday meeting, and also asks me to bring my married woman to come across his, which I find very strange. At this point, I just concur to information technology, since I want to leave. We part ways, and I leave with the book in tow and a ton of questions in my head. When I go home, I actually have no words to explicate it to my married woman other than, "It was a very strange meeting, and I think there is going to be a 2d, and he wants yous to come, also?" She is skeptical.
Wednesday evening rolls effectually, and I have non even begun the book. Tom texts me asking near my progress. I tell him I haven't even started. He asks me when I could be finished with information technology. I reply with, "Perhaps by the terminate of the weekend?"
Tom: "Ok, I volition ask my mentor if that is ok with him to extend you lot some more time."
I haven't felt such deadlines to read since my time in loftier schoolhouse AP English and I am a flake taken aback by a man who is challenge to spout financial liberty needing to get permission for me to take a bit more fourth dimension to read.
The next morning, my phone dings with a text from Tom. He'south cleared it with his mentor - I now have until Monday to read this volume.
My curiosity takes over. What could be in this book that is so urgent? I crack information technology open that evening and dive in...
Overall, it'southward very lackluster. There are a few nuggets of wisdom in in that location, but not enough to warrant 115 pages. The author alternates between humblebrags, thinly veiled put downs against the working class, and his close ties with Donald Trump, who seems to be the just wealthy person he knows.
This book was besides written in 2009, and has not aged well. On one page, while mentioning successful businesses, he discusses Microsoft and Tupperware in the same paragraph... neither of which are exactly the aforementioned powerhouses today in 2019. The writer also speaks at length about his time existence homeless and living in his car, but refusing to work since it's "beneath him."
Notwithstanding, he says by thinking differently and growing assets, he made millions. Yet, he never gives also much away in the concrete details, then the reader has to infer a lot. When you lot read between the lines, yous realize what he is calling network marketing is the same thing as multi level marketing or a pyramid scheme.
I may non make much as a teacher, but I also don't want to be blowing upward friends and family with trying to become them to buy random crap. Not long after, I finished the book, more than just because I wanted to add together information technology to my read shelf since I haven't figured out this whole abandoned book shelf yet, and and so pigeon into the Internet to learn more.
Apparently, in that location is an army of Toms out there who do the same affair to immature people all over - approach them in a public place, strike upward conversation, initiate a meeting subsequently, give them this book, then effort to rope them in on this pyramid in further meetings.
Suffice it to say, I felt both flattered that I appeared young enough to exist approached and shocked that I seemed like a adept mark. I near texted Tom to cancel the Monday meeting, but and so I realized I could beat him at his ain game.
When he texts me on Monday, I plan to ask for more time, maxim I went to participate in a rodeo at a friend'due south subcontract for the weekend, forgot the volume at home, and was too exhausted by the time I returned. Depending how that goes, I will continue giving increasingly ridiculous excuses why I couldn't read it until he eventually gives upwards.
It shall be my multi level marketing of sorts, in which it is I who is at the top of this pyramid... of comedy.
TLDR - Basically, the book is not worth your fourth dimension, only you probably got it for gratis from your very own Tom, so at least you didn't waste your coin!

I was recommended to read this book past my Advisor whom had met through on LinkedIn in connection with the concern described in the book. While the concept of the Cash Flow Quadrants is explained pretty well and certainly inspires one to make a shift from the Employed to the Business concern side, it is the idea of Network Marketing which is the real crux of the book. It is a continuation of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki which was a much generic read.It is a proficient read and explains the concept of Network marketing in great item and as well ways and ways to go nigh with it. It emphasizes the importance of building an income stream which would non be dependent on external factors only which work for themselves, leading to financial independence.
