Kiyosaki oppened my eyes

class="textlinks">Rich Dad's Guide to Investing: What the Rich Invest in, That the Poor and the Middle Class Do Not!

Robert Kiyosaki has openned my eyes: after being 15 year working for several companies as Corporate Treasurer, Senior Operations Controller and responsible for starting-up several buisness units for my employer, I finally was inspired by Kiyosaki's Guide to investing and how you can create your own money, creating assets without buying them, going through a transformation process "trash to cash".

I look at Financial Statements from a different perspective, not as a means of informing someone else of the company's performance, but as someone who would be an inside investor.

This book is really great!!

Robert Kiyosaki is the Columbus of the business world

I like Robert Kiyosaki's idea of an eight-part model for a business. He calls it the BI Triangle, which says class="textlinks">that a business is a system of systems. The BI Triangle is a big leap forward for all aspiring entrepreneurs. It establishes finite boundaries on what it takes to run a successful business. As far as I know, no other writer has been able to express these boundaries so succinctly.

The BI Triangle's power comes from its unprecedented combination of comprehensiveness, finiteness and simplicity. Before Mr. Kiyosaki, nearly all business books were written by two categories of writers:

1)Overly-specialized, non-comprehensive-thinking employee-or-consultant-gurus who couldn't see the forest for the trees, or
2)Overly-generalized, non-educator-entrepreneurs who could see the forest but couldn't describe it in a way that was understandable to others.

Seldom (if ever) is a business book written by an entrepreneur who also happens to be an educator. As a result, the business sections of most bookstores are vast collections of specialized "marketing" books written by self-proclaimed marketing gurus, "strategy" books by strategy gurus, "sales" books by sales gurus, and so on. None of these overly-specialized authors have been able put the entire concept of business together into a universal, comprehensive and succinct package - none except Robert Kiyosaki.

This lack of succinct comprehensiveness within the business world is the main reason why entrepreneurship has been so scary for so many. This must have been how the mariners of Europe felt before the voyages of Columbus. Starting a new business, just like sailing off into the sunset, used to seem like a never-ending dangerous quest into an unknown (and unknowable) abyss. That's why most mariners used to stay within sight of the shore. To them, the risk of sailing into the sunset was infinite because the scope of possible outcomes was also infinite. This isn't surprising since many of them thought the earth was an infinitely-extended flat plane.

But something amazing happened when Columbus returned from his adventures. He proved to his fellow mariners that the earth was finite, not infinite - he showed them that the earth was actually a sphere, and not an infinitely extended plane. The others quickly understood the meaning. That is, a spherical earth meant that it was now impossible to sail off into oblivion. In one swift stroke, this knowledge massively reduced the risk (and the fears) of sailing into the sunset. What was unknown and unknowable became knowable and most importantly, doable.

Robert Kiyosaki is the Columbus of the business world. He has shown that a business, like the earth, is also a finite entity. Just as there are definite boundaries to the earth itself, there are also definite boundaries to a business. This is a monumental finding - don't be fooled by its simplicity.
But there is an important difference between the boundaries of the earth and the boundaries of a business: the former is mainly physical, and the latter is mainly metaphysical. In other words, the boundaries of the earth can be apprehended by the senses; the boundaries of a business can only be apprehended by the mind.

The key to understanding Mr. Kiyosaki's ideas is the ability to see with the mind's eye. The business world of the Information Age is a collection of inherently invisible, inaudible and weightless principles. To apprehend them we must learn how to transcend the obvious physical inputs from our senses. For example, it's "obvious" that the sun "moves" across the sky. It's "obvious" that the earth is flat. But is that really happening? The mind's eye reveals a different reality. If you want to succeed in business, then learn to embrace the version of reality from the mind's eye, not from the senses. Robert Kiyosaki's books are an excellent place to start.

If you really want to understand the way Kiyosaki thinks, then I suggest you read Buckminster Fuller's books as well.
