I am reading this book now though I know this book was published many years ago and many people have read it long before I do. I download it on my computer and my cellphone so that I can listen to the mp3 with cellphone before bed and read pdf document on the long bus ride. This is not the first inspring book I have read, yet it might be the most influencial book for me. I am not sure whether or not I can turn out to be a self-employed person, still I am sure it will work on me sooner or later, it's only a matter of time. The repetition of these theory and methods accumulate bit by bit. I am learning to change my way of thinking from a poor mind to a rich mind, at least this is the first step I can do from now on. So the very first thing I am determined to do is to learn to invest instead of spending it. I used to shop for clothes and fashion quite a lot. I reward myself with luxuries at times to make myself look rich. However, now I need to make this portion of money work for me, make it grow bit by bit instead of devalue. Also I want to invest in gold market, stock market and foreign currency, but on hearing some bad news or losing money, I retreat hurriedly. Now I really understand that to experience failure is a must, it's the tuition for every investor to pay before they begin to earn. There is no such thing of good luck, the seeming good luck is actually invisible earlier preparation. There is so much to learn if we read this book time and time again. If you have read this book or are going to read it, let's share ideas. Happy new year ! Everyone !

I already hear about the books and they are very inspiring to read by aspiring entrepreneur. The author gives an insights on the real aspects of the business and cites the economy of other country as well talking all about the different strategy, I am also interested to read the books and so far i also plan to download it one of these days and surely i could get many benefits and apply his other concepts in my own business plan.

oh yes this is one of those great motivational books that i've read! it even proves that being an undergrad will never be a hindrance to pursue in your life and reach your goal. it's really on how you make your money work for you which is the exact opposite of his poor dad who work all his life to earn. i kept on reading that book from time to time to keep me motivated and never let my enthusiasm come into laziness. good day magic9

I haven't heard about the book.Yet it should be a nice book if it can be published editions after editions for long years.And it is nice that you are enlightened by its contents to take risks as stepping stones towards success.But I suggest you to spend a little for yourself as now because it boosts your self and you will be diplomatic.

When I took this book in my hands for the first time,I didn't expect anything from it.The reading was simple and I really enjoyed it.There were some things I heard for the first time in my life.Then I started re-reading some pages.I realized that this book had the key I was looking for.Now I need to find the right door. People blame Kiyosaki for not giving the step-by-step guide how to become rich.I thank Kiyosaki for not giving these advices because they never work for you in real life.There's no need to follow the path of someone else.You can find your own.

Yeah,I know about this book but haven't read it yet. I have read a couple of books by the same author and I am definitely interested in this one too.All of his books hammer this idea of 'thinking big' in to your head no matter how much you try to avoid it. I hope to read this book in the near future and will get back here to discuss what I felt about it!
