Summary: What do you want to be when you grow up?
Review: Excellent,excellent book!Most high school guidance counselors should use this as a guide for giving students advice about what they should do.It answers the question that all high school students ask as well as many still wandering,confused adults.Everyone is in one of four categories,whether they like to admit it or not.Everyone needs to know what those four categories are,which category they would like to be in,and which category they are in now.I tell everyone to read this book.Going to school and getting good grades does not matter anymore like it used to.Wake up people and read this book.

Summary: Great follow up
Review: In this follow up to Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert explains the four quadrant, Employment, Self Employed, Business and Investment. Most of the world is in Employment or Self Employment. Most those who thinks that they are in Business are also in Self Employment. Just because you open a business does not make you a business owner. If your business can not operate without you for a period of time, than you are in Self Employment. The only real way to be rich is in the other two quadrant, Business and Investment.

Summary: WOW! If ya' can't take the "HEAT", DON'T EVEN BOTHER!
Review: I gotta admit, after reading Rich Dad, Poor Dad I didn't think R.K. could top it; but he did. This book is definately the next level in the journey to financial freedom. I don't care what your buddies at work & good ole Uncle Joe may say about "wishful thinking" and "that's been tried already." People who talk like that just don't get it; THEY DON'T! What R.K. is saying is that it takes guts to be really successful. Anyone, and I do mean anyone can have a moderate to comfortable lifestyle. But if you want to be the one who owns the team instead of playing for it..read this book. If you want to own the bank instead of tring to get a loan from it...read this book. Why work all your life for just a PIECE of the pie when you can have all the dough you want? You only live once. R.K. points out time and time again that if you truly want something, no matter what it is and no matter where you are in life you can have it. A million dollars? A hundred million? A hundred billion! It doesn't matter. Change your way of thinking (start by reading this book) and you'll have it!

Summary: The Teacher Does It Again
Review: I have become a Rich Dad, Poor Dad, and CashFlow Quadrant believer and evangelist. Quite frankly, I couldn't put down either book and have undertaken the task of moving to the right side of the quadrant at lightspeed. I've also recommended both books to friends, and purchased copies of Rich Dad, Poor Dad for my teenage children. After reading Robert's books, it's like a light bulb went off. I now "GET IT", and am in the process of trying to help others do the same. Thanks Robert and Sharon for some lifechanging insights that go beyond the "what to do" by simply and succinctly explaining "how to do" and "why to do".

Summary: Stop What ever you're doing and read this book
Review: This book provides valuable insight about what people should be doing to prepare themselves for their financial future.-Many are not.Mr. Kiyosaki describes 3 methods for achieving financial independence. The one I was surprised to see in there was Network Marketing. But Mr. Kiyosaki doesn't say just any network marketing vehicle (lord knows there are a lot of scams!). Mr. Kiyosaki writes about finding the right opportunity in network marketing and outlines criteria for properly evaluating network marketing opportunities. This is a great book for anyone seriously interested (and with an open mind) in starting their own business.

Summary: I'm Ready To Learn
Review: It was outstanding, it gives you a new look on life, and workin for someone else. I would highly recomend this book to everyone, especially high school and college student. For we are the ones who are getting sucked into the Rat Race that Kiyosaki talks about. If you want to become successful this is a great place to start!

Summary: Your employer does not want you to read this book.
Review: As an employment counselor, I have talked with approximately 30,000 people over the past 20 years about some aspect of their "careers." 95% of the people I talk with are clueless about the concepts in this book. They believe what "Poor Dad" believed, and they, too, will be poor, financial wrecks unless they wake up. This is a very "contrarian" book. If you want to keep believing the well polished lie that a good education leads to career success, do NOT read this book. However, if you want to know how the financial world REALLY works and how to become financially free, this book is a must have. A very inpiring and useful book for those of us who want out of the "rat race."

Summary: A very simplisitc presentation of the obvious
Review: This book did not tell me anything that I did not already know. As for how the the author made his fortune, the financial data was too sparse to gain any knowledge from. For example the author found a property worth $100,000, but was able to buy it for $80,000. Was it really worth $100,000? The author sold it on a wraparound lease and made money, he said. The cash flow discussion did not reveal how it played out. It would have been interesting to see how the income taxes and depreciation worked. I don't believe that the profit on that venture in the long was significant. Moreover, the author and his wife were broke and living free with someone else. Where did they get $10,000 to start buying the property they invested in? Pop's money? I would like to see the run out of their return on investments.It was never shown in detail.

Summary: Great Book
Review: I've now read Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Cash Flow Quadrant. Both books are extremely eye-opening, helping me to gain insight to the path of financial self-destruction that I had been quickly heading towards. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to discover the insight necessary to make a fundemental shift in their attitude and outlook on money that I believe will create real positive change in their financial future for the rest of their life.
