New Book -- Why We Want You to Be Rich
I just picked up the new Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad, Poor Dad) book entitled "Why We Want You to Be Rich."
I haven't read the whole book yet but I think it will have some interesting comments. The introductions states:
"The rich are getting richer, but are you?
"We are losing our middle class, and a shrinking middle
class is a threat to the stability of America and to the world
democracy itself. We want you to be rich so you can be part of
the solution . . . rather than part of the problem."
Chapter 21 is titled: "I am Still In School, What Should I Do?" Some of the key points:
Robert
- If you're in high school or younger -- focus on having fun.
- If you are growing up in a family who think wanting to be rich is bad, even evil, keep quiet. Find friends that think like you.
- If you have a supportive family take them along for the journey.
- Remember to be kind and respectful to all kids and not be a snob.
- Take time to learn from your mistakes rather than trying to avoid making mistakes.
- Two great exercises -- prepare a budget and learn how to make money with money.
- Seek out a mentor/apprentice relationship.
- Complete your education
- Study accounting and business law (that doesn't mean you need to become an accountant or lawyer!)
- Understand cash flow
Donald
- Raise the bar on yourself. Never settle for doing "enough."
- Keep up with current events worldwide.
- Do not neglect your life skills.
- Spend some time on your focus.
It seems that they cover many of the points that I plan to talk about here. While I can't recommend the book yet since I haven't read it all, it might be something to take a look at. Stay tuned!
