But i am only going to share three with you. The first lesson i will be sharing with you is:
1) The Rich invent their own money: Yes, believe it or not, they invent their own money. This is a chapter i cherish so much and i don’t think i will say anything on it because i will prefer you get the lesson from the horse mouth. Period!!
2) Mind your own business: This lesson is priceless. Rich Dad Poor Dad made me understand that no matter my profession or field of play, i should mind my own business. Illustrations and guides were given on how to keep your day job and start your own business part time. The author, Robert Kiyosaki also explained how he started his nylon and Velcro Company part time while still keeping his day job as a sales man for Xerox Corporation.
The last important lesson from “Rich Dad Poor Dad” i can share with you is:
“Work to learn, don’t work for money.”
This caption might sound funny but there is a lot of sense beneath it. The reason a lot of businesses fail is because the entrepreneur’s primary aim of starting a business is to make money and be their own boss. Successful entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Oprah Winfrey have all said that money should not be your reason of being in business because you won’t last long.
“I think a lot more emphasis has been placed on the money than need be, because i would have done this work for free” – Oprah Winfrey
Rich Dad Poor Dad gave more than enough insight on why you must work to learn.
I recall that the first business i started wasn’t for the money. After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, i decided to take the risk and start my own business. My primary aim of starting a business was to get experience and develop my entrepreneurial skills. I finally realized that there is big difference between dreaming about starting a business and actually starting a business. I also came to understand that after the excitement of starting a business dies down; you will now face the reality of business by witnessing the highs and lows, the mistakes and its consequences, the wins and loses. But in the end, your greatest asset is going to be your experience. It is priceless.
