Summary: Book of insight & encouragement to start your own business
Review: I found this book filled with insight and encouragment for me to start taking action towards building my own business. I always wanted to start my own business successfully, but did not know how or where to start. I wanted my business to be successful (like every one else), however without losing money or failing. I learned from Cashflow Quadrant and this book that losing money and failing is part of the process to a successful business. This process I'm referring to is life changing for you. And it is you who will have to change in order for your future to change the way you like it. It is not easy, but not changing and losing money is. If you're less than 30 yrs old, I recommend you definitely read this and apply it slowly. If you're over 30, I think you should quickly read this book and apply quickly. I know it's harder if you're older because there are more responsibilities on your plate, but that's what happens when you start later in anything...there is some catching up to do. However, I believe the rush will be worth it. And you'll be a changed and happier person.

Summary: You Can't Argue With Results
Review: If ever you disagree with the views or assertions in this novel, just look around at your friends, family and neighbors and notice "what is". Robert's results speak much louder that the opinions of most that have nothing to show for their time hear on earth. He can choose to work or not to work. I think that is a wonderful choice to have. Reading this book for me was easy, because I already believed in this philosophy. I have seen my parents work all of their lives to end of with nothing. Mediocrity has no rewards. Roberts talks about portability, using what's between your ears to catapult you to financial freedom. I recommend this book to all, those that heed the advice will profit, those that don't will continue to experience what they have always had.

Summary: Great, simple, clear, concise, helpful book.
Review: I considered myself to be the perfect subject for this book. A just turned 30 something who had imagined a better way than the rat race. My own personal rat race involved commercial real estate - as a broker and property manager. Good jobs. I worked hard, and then harder, and then harder. Soon I found all I was doing was working - and someone else was making all the money and going home early!There had to be a better way. But how to find it? Who to talk to? What to read? Turns out this is a very good start. The book starts with the blooming business careers of two nine year olds. Good. Right at my level. (I've spent my time working not thinking.) He goes to tell about rich dad's philosophy which has become the author's about how to educate yourself financially (which he distinguishes from school education). He redefines what an asset is - into what I think is a more helpful definition. He talks about the thinking process that leads people to their outcomes - poor, middle class, and rich. He says that they practice different habits; they make different decisions. He really got me thinking. While I agree this book is short on solutions, the central message is clear. Educate yourself financially. This book is very simple, but not simplistic. Life doesn't have to be complicated. Often, the solutions are right in front of us but are obscured by our own prejudices, misconceptions and preconceived notions about how the world works. The book is a start - and a good one! Now I'm off to read the next one. Oh, by the way, I have quit my job and am starting my own real estate company. (Not just because of this book.) It has just helped clarify a great many thoughts swimming around my head. Wish me luck! (I too was turned off at first by the "Amway/buy real estate for no money down" type of sales approach. But the simple fact is that he's selling the truth. His logic is crystal clear, and echoes many bits and pieces of information which I had not really listened to in the past.) I guess I should have listened earlier.

Summary: Outstanding & Liberating piece of work
Review: This was probably one of the most incredible books I have ever read. It takes you into the mind set of how the truly wealthy people think. Once you pick it up you simply will not be able to put it down. Warning* This book will make you angry for in reading it you will realize how grossly you have been misled by todays society. I'll admit to even feeling a little betrayed by our entire educational system. After you get over your feelings of anger, however, you will feel elation at the fact that anyone can become rich in this country if they are willing to change their way of thinking. Read this book. Your life will never be the same.

Summary: I'm motivated to get out of the rat race now...
Review: It is clear that I and most everyone I know are in the rat race. Working, acquiring things, creating debt, creating a seemingly unbreakable cycle. Wow! I want to get off this "no assets" and "high liabilities" lifestyle. The authors were clear on the problem, but not on the solution. That's ok, I'm inspired to find the solution that works for me. A real eye-opener of a book!

Summary: Great Message For Everyone
Review: Rich Dad Poor Dad makes a very important distinction between doing what the rich did vs. acting like you're rich. So many people buy the things that rich people buy and spend as if they were rich rather than taking the actions the rich take to get rich. This point alone makes the book valuable. Be patient with writing and the redundancy. Robert Kiyosaki does not claim to be a great writer and he is right. He presents his points and uses redundancy rather than clarity to make them. If you let this get to you you'll miss the valuable messages.

Summary: Would make a good magazine article
Review: This book was just plain painful to read. He's got about five decent points but takes a couple hundred pages to make them. I liked some of his concepts, even if they're out of reach of most americans. The information in the book is much better suited for a several page magazine article. Most of us don't need to hear the same thing said fifteen different ways! Of course, the author can't make much money writing magazine articles.

Summary: A Primer To Stop Broke Thinking
Review: This was an absolutely awesome book. Some of the concepts are already well known but the authors found a way to make these truths jump out and grab you. I read it , my wife read it, I'm bribing my 16 year old to read it and I will read it to my 9 year olds. I have also recommended this to most of the partners in my group. A good book to read after this would be The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason.

Summary: I finally found a way to tell it to my kids......
Review: I am a begining practitioner of this philosophy...it works, the kids seem to think my wife and I are a "money tree", maybe we are, however, this book explains the roots, care, feeding and harvesting of fruit from that tree...an easy read for the beginner, concise and informative, not complicated nor ho-hum boring, nice analogy....now if the recipe works, we shall see.
