Lately I’ve been trying to find business books to broaden my knowledge of finances. I’ve read a few books that I will talk about in future posts – however I am reading Rich Dad Poor Dad right now and I felt the need to make this post.
So far I have just gotten to the third lesson in the book. It’s split up into six major lessons that it takes to acquire wealth. There’s been a lot of very interesting opinions thru the book. His definition of assets vs. liabilities makes a lot more sense to me than even the financial “experts” definition.
According to the book, by Robert Kiyosaki, the six major lessons you need to learn to become financially literate are as follows:
- The Rich Don’t Work for Money
- Why Teach Financial Literacy?
- Mind Your Own Business
- The History of Taxes and the Power of Corporations
- The Rich Invent Money
- Work to Learn – Don’t Work for Money
The first three chapters have shown my some very powerful thought processes that I am glad to have seen at a young age. The problem with today’s society as a whole is that our entire life is spent learning how to work for everyone else. We work for employees, the government, and the banks.
It’s time that we started working for ourselves, you should never work for money – money should work for you. These are a few of the lessons that I have learned thanks to Robert.
Anyone that is working for themselves full time, or wants to do so, I really suggest you check out this book.
