Multiple ways to financial freedom

Rich Dad's Success Stories is more than just ample proof that the Rich Dad philosophy works and works well; it also shows you that there are multiple ways to achieve financial freedom and obviously, thanks to Kiyosaki many people are.I would like to address MLM aka Network Marketing first as that seems to be the most misunderstood and abused vehicle to achieve success. It has been estimated that 4 out of 5 people fail in netwotk marketing and unfortunately some people who dislike network marketing embellish on that.The fact is that network marketing does work (just ask the 1 out of 5 who make it) why do the other 4 fail? Could be a lot of reasons. One could be choice of company. A bigger one in my opinion is lack of training and yet another one is attitude; people let their negative friends and relatives (sometimes called pukers) control their lives and decisions.Kiyosaki openly endorses network marketing (and not just the soap company--the industry as a whole) because it is the safest, low cost, low risk way to start a business. Donald Trump said a few years ago in a tv interview that if he lost it all and had to start over, he would enroll in a network marketing company and go to work.Rich Dad Success Stories discusses many ways to make money. Most are real estate. Others are real estate. They are various ages. The book talks about a 12 year old who bought a rental property. It also talks about a 50 something couple that started over fearing going into retirement with nothing saved. They started a business and achieved incredible success.By the way, do you know one of the greatest success stories of all time was Col. Sanders? Do you know how old he was when he started? 50? 59? 63? No he was 65 and broke. Got digusted at looking at his social security check for $150 and went to work. He decided to sell his chicken recipe and was turned down 1,009 times (how is for rejection MLM'ers!) but never took no for an answer. The rest is history.Rich Dad Success Stories shows real live examples of other Col Sanders. Tremeendous success stories of people who are making it. Good book. Highly recommended.

Great book - very inspiring

I just finished reading Rich Dad's Success Stories and Rich Dad Poor Dad.Rich Dad's Success Stories was very inspiring. Great to see people from all walkd of life and different ages succeed and so quickly too! Rich Dad Poor Dad offers a paridimn shift and really sold me on the concept of starting my own business, getting into real estate and 86-ing my J-O-B which really does stand for just over broke.Rich Dad Poor Dad also got me to think of several creative income ideas. I will never go back to think the old way again.A friend of mine has the Rich Dad board game. I couldn't believe how poorly I did (that was before reading the books) and that was my wake up call. I was using Poor Dad thinking which explains why I wasn't getting anywhere. Now that I have read these two books, I am looking forward to playing the game again and then on to the more advanced game.More importantly, it's on to financial self reliance ala Kiyosaki.Thank you Robert for 2 outstanding books. I will be adding other RD books to my library soon. Your books are the only ones that I have bought that actually deliver on their promises....and then some.

No more excuses

In this new book by Robert Kiyosaki, Robert completely blows away the allegation that his philosophy doesn't work. Ecuses are completely taken out.I enjoyed the business and real estate success stories and I look forward to Kiyosaki's next foray.Good book Robert. Very inspiring.

Reply to reviewer from Chicago

I too was eagerly awaiting this new book by Kiyosaki. Tired of hearing allegations as to "who has really benefitted from his teachings" I eagerly bought this book and read this new addition to the Rich Dad series.I really think the reader from Chicago is missing the point. The fact is more wealth has been made in real estate than in any other venture. No other business or investment can compare. Writing books? C'mon now! Do you have any idea on how many books get turned down each year? And of those that are published, how many do you suppose really make any real money?Many of Kiyosaki's critics have been asking for evidence that his strategies work. Well here it is in Real Life Success Stories from Real Life People who followed the Rich Dad lessons.Like it or not, this is how "Real People" are making "Real Money" in Real Estate.Perhaps in some future volume, Kiyosaki will profile business success stories and I look forward to those as well. But for the masses, Real Estate is the key.Good book Mr. Kiyosaki but I doubt this will silence your critics----too bad for them!
