Do YOU Know A Little About A Lot - Re-read A GOOD Book (part 3)

Following on with this week's theme - So YOU Wanna Make Money - Re-Read A GOOD Book - today I got through a re-read the final lesson of Robert Kiyosaki's Rich Dad, Poor Dad:

Lesson 6. Work To Learn - Don't Work For Money - where he writes:

‘The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often, they’re poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not because of what they know but because of what they do not know. They focus their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger. Maybe McDonald’s does not make the best hamburger, but they are the best at selling and delivering a basic average burger.’

He identifies three key management skills needed for success.

1. The management of cash flow.
2. The management of systems.
3. The management of people.

‘The most important specialised skills are sales and understanding marketing. It is the ability to sell - therefore to communicate to another human being, be it a customer, employee, boss, spouse or child - that is the base skill of personal success. It is communication skills such as writing, speaking and negotiating that are crucial to a life of success. It is a skill that I work on constantly, attending courses or buying educational tapes to expand my knowledge.’

‘Rich Dad encouraged us to know a little about a lot. He encouraged us to work with people smarter than we were and to bring smart people together to work as a team.’

I discovered a review comment that I made about this book well over a decade ago and it holds true today: 'Aaaah… what a book! This is another one of those fantastic best sellers that can never be adequately reviewed. There are just too many incredible pearls of wisdom that have not been conveyed in this review. I know that I will discover more on a fifth and sixth reading of this great book.'

Quite right - it should be a compulsory line by line study in group format for at least ten solid days! That's if YOU want to get wealthy, that is... ;-)


Let's close today's thought with an 'interview' comment or 3 from the seventh of our potential virtual Board of Advisers:

Anthony Robbins - Self-Help Author, Motivational Speaker, Transformation Coach

1. quote: A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided.
2. quote: The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment
   
3. quote: The path to success is to take massive, determined action.
