The Critical Distinctions Between Business Owners and Wage Slaves November 23, 2008
Andrew Chang: 7-Hour School Week and Health, Wealth, Truth (Bay Area)
The Poor and the middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.
-Robert Kiyosaki
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of the best-seller Rich Dad, Poor Dad, explains the four different types of people in terms of their quadrants (Employee, Self-Employed, Business-Owner, and Investor). The employee works for someone else and values security. The self-employed works for himself and values being his own boss and doing his own thing. The business-owner creates systems and delegates work to other people, and he values freedom. The investor makes money with money, and he values freedom as well.
The difference between a true business-owner/investor and employee/self-employed is that the business-owner/investor can go on vacation forever because he owns the systems, not the job. The business-owner/investor can leave his work and find that the business has grown even more prosperous, while the employee/self-employed can never leave his work since he own the jobs.
Everyone can master all four quadrants, but it is only those who have mastered the business system and investor system that can truly achieve financial freedom and wealth. Anyone doing any work can still become a businessmen/investor if he would only dedicate the time, energy, and work to become one.

I really liked this book. It was just as good if not better than Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I recomend it.
Great book! August 15, 2008

This book is really the "core" of beliefs that are expressed in many of the author's books.
Where this book excels is getting people out "employee" or "self employed" mentality and thinking in a "business owner" or "investor" mentality. After I read this book I really started looking at my co-workers in a strange way and decided I needed a change.
Kiyosaki recommends investing in assets that create a positive cash flow immediately. Easier said than done, but the author admits it's not easy -to get rich!
Since I've read this book, I've left the "employee" and "self-employed" mentality behind and have really focused on business owner mentality. Although my personal "cash flow" initially dropped in the process, my long term situation has definitely improved and put me on target to achieve higher levels of success.
A PRICELESS Education July 22, 2008

Want to know why the rich get richer and everyone else seems to struggle? Is this an end all on the subject- NO it is not, as Robert himself would tell you the study of money if a lifetime pursuit.
However this book does an excellent job of describing the basics of why the rich get richer- and how they do it.
This book is also the first that enabled me to understand some basic accounting principles- mostly by not using numbers and formulas just some simple diagrams. Does it make you a CPA- No. But it does get a working class guy with little to no accounting knowledge the basic understanding of a personal financial statement.
Robert Kiyosaki (and his advisors) write books that make what seems to be complex money subjects seem understandable. Kind of the way AOL made the internet seem easy. Most of us have outgrown AOL a LONG, LONG time ago. And you can improve your financial literacy easily with Robert and his team.
