Rating: Summary: Excellent Financial intelligence book! Review: This insightful book helps the reader assess himself of his "true" investment nature, whether they will be poor and or potentially rich.Kiyosaki does a good job integrating his personal story to the advice given. It makes the message more impactful. While Rich Dad, Poor Dad enlightened us to all the "wrong" thinking most of us do, Cashflow Quadrant gives us a map and some strategies to improve our lives and financial well being. Highly recommend, potentially life-changing!
Rating: Summary: Are you ready for the next level? Review: If you loved Rich Dad Poor Dad, you'll love this book. Having read Rich Dad Poor Dad and taken action towards financial freedom, it confirms whether you are on the right track and guides you to it. If you have not started yet, it's an excellent book to help identify where you are at and which direction to go. For me, life is no longer plain and fustrating, but a fun and exciting journey. Thank you Robert for another unique gift. See you in Sydney!
Rating: Summary: Simply the best financial book I've EVER read! Review: At the age of nine, I read "Think and Grow Rich." Since then, I've read MANY books on finances. But only this one has actually changed my life. Wow! Now, in my humble opinion, this work could have been written slightly more concisely. The content seems to become redundant near the end of the first third of the book. However, three-fifths of the way through, the pace picks up again and continues to escalate all the way to the end. Having said that, the actual information contained in this book is priceless and peerless. It's changed my entire way of thinking about life. I repeat "LIFE!" I'm an African-American and this book has shed a whole new light on how to abolish racism. Mr. Kiyosaki's financial "philosophy," if you will, implies a multiplicity of ramifications. If you have ever felt that college left you unprepared for the REAL world, read this book and you will understand precisely why. Invest in your future. Invest in your freedom. Buy this book!
Rating: Summary: Apply this info and it WILL change your life! Review: Tap into Robert Kiyosaki's world...and dare to think like the mega-rich. If you face your fears and paradigms, you can decide to accept financial intelligence as a way of life. Money is an IDEA... you will always be paid more for ideas than for labor. Read this book... if you dare!
Rating: Summary: Robert has complete comprehension of the wealth mentality Review: Torrence Smith. This book is an education in building a cash engine. I thought this book was more in-depth than his first book, but just as easy to read. He writes like the guy who's been there and done it. Robert has a laser focus about how wealthy people think. Just as important, he explains the nuts and bolts of how to apply what we learn. It's definitely more functional than a book on wealth by a college professor. He's synthesized ideas I didn't get in 4 years of a West Point education. Read it and reread it. This book will be a classic. Learn to play the game and join the parade.
Rating: Summary: An absolute must read for those who want financial security Review: This book is the second from Robert Kiyosaki who tells us how to make the move from being dependent on an employer or a self employeed business to a business owner with a system to allow us to leverage our time and money to become financially independent. Ultimately, one can become an investor for long-term security for generations. It explains in very clear language, how anyone can begin to make the move from the left side of the quadrant to the right. This is simply a book that I feel will be an absolute classic for people looking to develop a life style the very rich had only been able to enjoy.
Rating: Summary: For your financial security Review: This excellent followup to Rich Dad Poor Dad will show you why some people work less and earn more, pay less in taxes, have both the money and the time freedom to live out their dreams and feel more financially secure than others. Great book. Possibly the best that RTK has written.
Rating: Summary: Great follow up to "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Review: This book is a fantastic sequel to "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". While the first Rich Dad book laid a great foundation and provided some high level direction, this book took what I had learned and added to it. There are some repeat "lessons" but they tend to go more in depth and have different examples that help me have a better understanding of the concept. In one of the books RTK uses an example of the financial education that you need to be financially free and compares it to the foundation of a building. These books are helping me lay that strong foundation. As a side note, I listened to the audio CD version of this book and the only things I didn't like were the speakers voice (very robot-sounding) and the fact that every time he mentioned a particular quadrant, he had to say both the letter and name of the quadrant... this got a bit tiresome and a bit Sesame Street sounding (ie "B, Business", "I, Investor").
Rating: Summary: Become a business owner - I agree! Review: In this followup to Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki goes even deeper into the various quadrants and explains why and how anyone can go from the E to B to I to S Quadrants. And I am pleased to see that Kiyosaki is telling the truth about network marketing and why it is such a powerful S-Quadrant. In fact, Kiyosaki offers two examples; one a friend who didn't have the money to start a conventional business so dove into network marketing and over time, built a very successful bsuiness. The other was a real estate investor who was continually being probed by people on how to become rich. When he told people that he made his fortune in million dollar real estate deals, they were depressed because they knew that they did not have the capital of the skills to do that. So this guy got into network marketing solely to provide a vehicle that people with limited capital and limited sales skills could dive into and begin creating cash flow and residual income immediately. His circles of influence saw his success in network marketing and knew this was something they could do. And they succeeded! Cash Flow Quadrant discusses the various quadrants. It describes the personalities of the people in each quadrant. And describes how to become more than a business owner but to reach the S-Quadrant, the ideal quadrant which provides financial and personal freedom. It gives you both time and freedom.
Rating: Summary: Great Info Review: In typical Kiyosaki fashion, Cashflow Quadrant gives the reader some extraordinary advice about building wealth. The cashflow quadrant is represented by four squares, where the E square represents Employee, S equals self-employed, B is business owner, and I is investor.
The interesting point is that while many self-employed people see themselves as business owners, Kiyosaki believes a self-employed person is somebody who owns their job. A business owner is somebody who controls a business, but is not tied to its day to day operations. For example, a doctor is self-employed, and is limited in his ability to grow in wealth by his ability to work, while not being able to replicate himself. The owner of a service company, on the other hand, is able to hire a manager, build control mechanisms, and esentially leave the day to day operations to others, while collecting portions of the profit and being free to build other businesses.
This book is highly readable and takes off where the first Rich Dad, Poor Dad ended. I recommend this book to any aspiring wealth builder.
