Life Changer Book: Rich Dad Poor Dad
“Knowledge is the new money…” -Robert Kiyosaki
I’ve mentioned this book in one of my previous posts, but I thought I’d make it an official “life changer book” recommendation.
When I began inquiring about business with my boss at the time, he told me that going into business was “different”. He told me that because I came from a working class background and upbringing. He knew that the business and investor class had a totally different mindset and perspectives on a various amount of things – from finances, life, what to purchase, to time, etc.
He was glad to see my ambition to one day open up a business. But, he knew he had to teach me a few things (it ended up being a lot of things). Thinking back, I am so thankful for what he has taught me and guided me through. Because a lot of the things that he opened up my eyes to are the very things that helped me to build a strong foundation for when I dove into the business world.
It all started with the book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Basically it’s a book about financial education and how majority of people don’t even have a clue about finances. Which is one of the reasons why people stay in the middle to poor working classes.
I loved this book because it did open up my eyes to how ignorant most people are about their money. As I think of where some of my friends are now and what they are doing, some of them make very high salaries, but they are always struggling for money!
The book Rich Dad Poor Dad introduces the fundamentals on assets, liabilities, and cash flow. These are essential to know and the knowledge is life changing whether or not you’re seeking to go into business.
Not only it was very informative but it was also very empowering. Empowering because when I read it, it felt as if I held some sort of “secret” that no one else knew. Non of my friends or family members read it nor followed the teachings in the book. So, I knew I was on the right track.
And so proved that I was.
