Biggest Takeaway --- Excerpts from:
Part Three: Defining Moments: Going Beyond Winning And Losing
Chapter 19: What Did You Learn from Business?

Robert Kiyosaki:

“You have heard the saying, ‘ The bigger they are, they harder they fall.’ Both Donald and I fell. His fall was much bigger and much more public. My fall was big, not as big as Donald’s, and not as public… but it hurt nonetheless.”

“After receiving my sales training from Xerox, two friends and I started the nylon and Velcro surfer-wallet business. Unfortunately, the business was a screaming success. I say unfortunately because success went straight to our heads. We were three single guys in our 20s who hit it big. Our products were featured in Runners World magazine, GQ and even Playboy…as our income went up, we thought our financial IQ went up as well. The problem was, as our income went up, the only thing that went up with it was our stupidity.”

“I had not been a strong advocate for education up to that point in my life…I just got by. I was happy to be a C student. As my poor dad often said about me ‘You’re getting by on a shoeshine and a smile’…After that business failure in my early 30s, I realized I was way behind the learning curve. I saw people my age further ahead in life, simply because they had taken education and their professional careers seriously.”

“From 1984 to 1994, Kim and I travelled the world teaching entrepreneurship and investing. In 1994, we retired financially free, putting into practice all we had been teaching. Kim was 37 and I was 47…For two years, I went into hiding int the mountains of southern Arizona, near a little town know as Bisbee, where I spent my time developing CASHFLOW board game and writing Rich Dad Poor Dad. In 1996, the first commercial game of CASHFLOW was played and on April 8, 1997, my 50th birthday, Rich Dad Poor Dad was launched at a small party. In mid-2000, a producer from Oprah Winfrey’s show called. I walked onstage to greet Oprah, and the rest is history.”

Donald Trump:

“I had to be very stubborn when it came to that development on the West Side that I just mentioned. In fact, I waited 30 years to see it happen. But I knew back then that it would be important to the future of New York City. I know this city. I was right.”

“Look at Mark Burnett. He saw a new direction for television and he too dealt with years of rejection. People just didn’t get what he wanted to do. But he just kept at it, because he knew he was right. When the television executives finally did get what he was going after, who created a new genre and a new chapter of television history?”

“Sometimes it’s hard to define what vision is. Usually, it’s based on studying the history of something and surmising where it will be going in 10 or 20 or more years. Yes, there’s a risk involved, but forward-thinking people are often on the mark. Another prime example is Leonardo da Vinci. He looked ahead by centuries in his inventions and ideas. The verification of his visionary gifts took centuries to clear, but verified they have been. Thoreau said, ‘If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.’ Vision remains vision until you focus, do the work, and bring it down to earth where it will do some good.”

“As Henry Kissinger knowingly said, ‘History knows no resting places and no plateaus.’”

This book is absolutely GOLD for both personal and business development that works like a modern guidebook to THINK AND GROW RICH.
