Who is Robert Kiyosaki? “Rich Investor – Fast Investor”

]
  • Rich dad often asked Mike and me the question, “If you had nothing—no money, no job, no food, no place to live—what would you do?” Most people are programmed from birth to go looking for a job. In fact, they go to school in order to confirm their destiny. But if you want to qualify to become a businessman or an investor, then you need a different form of education. He called this form of learning life learning. real world.
  • Doesn't everyone want to live in the real world? Most people think that they do it, but to be honest, today most people do everything to hide from him.
  • What your generation lacks is the financial education necessary for financial security.
  • The luckiest thing in my life is that I encountered the real world at the age of 13.
  • “The trouble is, many people of your generation don't contribute anything at all to retirement plans, many don't contribute enough, and very few realize how risky it is to keep money in mutual funds. A stock market crash will turn that money into dust.”
  • I think it all started when people started looking for security instead of freedom. The problem is that most people think that security and freedom are one and the same. But it's not. In fact, security and freedom mean exactly the opposite.
  • A choice must be made between freedom and security. Freedom requires courage and strength, and if a person does not have them, he loses freedom.
  • I wanted freedom from the tyrannical need to have a job and from the dictates of money that determine my lifestyle.
  • Diversification is a defense for the ignorant. It makes little to no sense to those who know what they are doing.
  • Until you start getting money, you will invest, but you will not become an investor. To show Rich Dad that I was an investor, I had to show him that money started flowing in and out of me.
  • People say: I save money for retirement. Few people say: I invest to secure my pension.
  • I would venture to suggest that in 10 years, US banks will be bursting with money. Only 2% per annum will be paid.
  • Rich dad often said, give a fool money and he will throw a party.
  • Investing at all three levels is a full-time job, and you've had your fair share of hardship.
  • The real world is very different from the world of education or government. What he invested in will not pay off in the real world.
  • You may have noticed that people who are ossified in their outlook and way of doing things are often the ones who fall behind financially.
  • Investors know how to reduce losses. They are not afraid to admit their mistakes. They care not about saving face, but about how to save money. If the investment is unsuccessful, they cut off the ends and blow their feet.
  • A true investor has very little devotion to his investments.
  • Advances in technology are turning the stockbroker into a monument and the mutual funds into clumsy dinosaurs watched over by fast-paced and ruthless private investors. Investors who instruct mutual funds to make investments for them become dinosaurs.
  • I know the world outside of the chicken coop is intimidating. It is difficult with work, difficult with money and very bad with opportunities. But I assure you, life outside the chicken coop is vibrant, full of optimism and energy, and there are plenty of opportunities there. It's all about where you look from - from the chicken coop or outside.
  • The world outside the chicken coop is full of swindlers, crooks, prostitutes, etc. But at the same time, there are many saints, geniuses, warriors, etc. If you choose free life you have to learn how to deal with everyone, because you won't know who they really are until you try to deal with them. During the transaction, everyone removes their masks.
  • Many of those who after graduation are looking for a secure job in a large company are actually looking for a place to hide from the real world. Investing, such people are also looking for where to hide from the real world. Such investors invest in mutual funds believing that their manager is capable of destroying the bacteria of the real world.
  • The main thing is to find a way that is effective for you personally. Both rich dad and I built businesses and invested in real estate. But these were completely different types of business and different real estate.
  • Many in the middle class believe that saving money, a retirement plan, and owning a home are smart financial decisions. For all their importance to financial well-being they will not give wealth. You need to buy or create assets that generate passive income.
  • The bottom line is that saving money good advice for the poor and average person. For building wealth, this is bad advice.
  • Financial intelligence is born from investing time in the real world. It cannot be the result of investing in mutual funds. Investing in your financial education will not pay off immediately, but it will definitely pay off.
  • The middle class plays risky. They invest a lot of money in a retirement plan and very little time in training. If you want to become rich, invest a lot of time before you start investing a lot of money.
  • Savings is considered by many in the middle class to be sensible, but for a rich person it is a financial drag.
  • One of the few things that both of my fathers demanded was to never lose touch with people at all levels of society. Always remember that every employee in your business is a living person. Your task as a leader is to do everything for his well-being.
  • If you want to take control of your life, you must keep personal financial statements on a regular basis. If you do not want to do this, it is better to give money to others in a pension fund.
  • I know many people who easily understand other people's financial statements, do not make their own. This should be your MOST important report.
  • By delving into the essence of your real financial statement, you will discover a world of real financial opportunities.
  • Modern alchemists turn money, resources, ideas into wealth with the help of assets. They know how to create assets literally out of thin air. An example is a patent or trademark. They turn even garbage into assets.
  • Fools turn money into trash. Alchemists, on the contrary, turn garbage into money.
  • The main thing is not shine, but cash flow.
  • Most important words In business, it's cash flow. Rich people are rich because they control the flow of money, and poor people are poor because they don't know how to do it. Most financial problems are caused by a lack of personal control over cash flow.
  • How can employees manage their lives if they have never been taught how to manage their money and have no control over where their retirement savings go? They have no control over their lives in old age.
  • Our emotions are a powerful force. If left unchecked, they become self-fulfilling prophecies.
  • The reason most people save and don't invest is because they lack financial intelligence. Otherwise, they would try to take risks behind the walls of the chicken coop and discover a world of financial abundance for themselves. Without financial education, sitting in a chicken coop to diversify and save is the only thing they can do.
  • If you want bad debt, the banker gives it to you right away. If you want good debt that will make you rich, the banker will ask you for a financial statement to see if you are smart enough to manage good debt.
  • Kim and I bought almost 12 small properties, then sold them and bought 2 apartment buildings and were able to retire.
  • Start with small deals. Only education and experience make a person richer and richer.
  • Playing with stocks and mutual funds seems to be the riskiest of all investment strategies. I prefer a stable cash flow from business or real estate, and options to protect my positions in volatile markets.
  • Excuses are the lies you tell yourself. Stop whining, complaining and acting like children. Excuses make a person poor.
  • It wasn't money that made me rich, it was investing time and investing money when I had very little money.
  • Working outside the chicken coop, I saw all sorts of things. I did business with people in the highest degree dishonest because I lacked real life experience. I couldn't tell a swindler from an honest person.
  • Chuck used to measure his wealth by the number of knick-knacks they had. Now, before buying a trinket, he buys an asset that will pay for this trinket. Once the value of it is paid, the asset generates a flow of money for life.
  • In the B (Business) quadrant, it is much more profitable to borrow money than to save it.
  • If the investment is profitable, then the more I borrow, the higher the rate of return.
  • Investing in real estate through a business generates four incomes at once: rental income, depreciation, appreciation and tax benefits.
  • If you own a business and it becomes part of the legitimate economy, nothing threatens its business activity even in a downturn in the stock market.
  • The stock market is practically not tied to the small real economy. The economy may be depressed, but small businesses will still move forward. Grocery stores, gas stations, insurance agencies, real estate agencies will still work as before. Big business may suffer, but small, legitimate, real businesses will do just fine.
  • Retirement plans will bring 8-9% per annum. Small business owners, if they know their business, can earn a much higher rate of return. So invest in own business- you can get 40-100% with the right approach.
  • Consider owning four houses. You will live in one, the other three will bring you money, even if the stock market collapses.
  • As the captain of your own ark, you are required to insure everything you invest in.
  • Rich dad taught me how to create businesses and invest in real estate. I follow this formula all the time.
  • Always remember that you are an entrepreneur, a visionary and a leader rolled into one. Don't let your advisors run your business. When a business starts to lose money, spend as much as you can more money for development. After the business recovers, you will be able to cut costs and offset some of the funds spent on development.
  • When business slows down, people too often cut development spending instead of increasing it. And after the business gets back on track, they start increasing costs instead of cutting them.
  • Investment objectives are cash flow, capital gains, depreciation and tax-free profits.
  • The most valuable asset is time. Most people can't use it properly. They work hard to make the rich richer, but they don't put in the effort to make themselves rich.
  • “How many times do I have to remind you that work will not make you rich? That people get rich in their free time?
  • Today I am rich precisely because of what I did in my spare time.
  • Just an hour away from most major cities You can always find affordable real estate. You need to find an area that is growing in value, and over time, the property will fall under revaluation. By the time of retirement, these three houses will bring stable income- much more reliable than a mutual fund.
  • Invest time in gaining technical knowledge, then get out into the real world and try it out. Start small because you will make mistakes. In the real world, people learn from mistakes.
  • Tens of thousands of students have come out of business schools where they have been taught that there is no point in thinking.
  • A professional investor will not invest in an asset that only pays for itself when moving in one direction, or in a program that does not allow you to exit it when you think it is reasonable.
  • There are 3 types of assets: business, real estate and paper.
  • Business is the strongest asset of all. Smart investors combine 2 or 3 types of assets, then increase and protect the cash flow coming from these assets. It is very difficult to get super high profits from only one type of asset.
  • Money game: 1st period - 25-35 years old, 2nd - 35-45 years old, 3rd - 45-55 years old, 4th - 55-65 years old. Additional time. The game is over. Any game consists of periods.
  • First of all, you must change your mental attitude. Then compose in writing ten year plan.
  • You give your money into the wrong hands - and they will work for other people before they start working for you.

Everyone has their own opinion on this matter. ready advice about how to manage your money.

  • When you invest with the hope that something will happen in the future, you are gambling.
  • Your task is to build a pipeline and constantly expand its diameter.
  • There are 2 kinds of money problems: one is when there is not enough of them, and the other is when there is too much of them. What problem do you choose?
  • Good cash flow for a good price is hard to come by. Therefore, few people invest in cash flow.
  • The task of my money is to work hard for me, acquiring more and more assets.

The story of the author of the article Alexander Berezhnov or how Kiyosaki helped me

Here I will briefly tell you how I got acquainted with the work of Kiyosaki and what I think about him.

I first learned about Kioysaki from my friend Oleg, who at the age of 17 advised me to read the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. At that time my financial position was not very good, but at the same time I was quite young, so that, and I didn’t have money then.

But the very ideas of the book, set out in an easy art form, with very deep meaning then changed my whole life. The book about Rich Dad gave me an impetus to further financial self-education. Then I read the book “Cashflow Quadrant” by Robert Kiyosaki and definitely decided that I would become an entrepreneur.

The first book remains the most famous work writer. It is with "Rich Dad" that I recommend starting acquaintance with literary heritage Kiyosaki. Believe me, this book is really capable of changing your life in the direction of cardinal improvement.

"Poor dad" is Robert's own father, who, despite being Minister of Education, could not teach his son real financial literacy.

“Rich dad” is the father of a friend of Robert, a really wealthy person who preached a diametrically opposite approach to acquiring material and spiritual wealth.

"Rich Dad" is a book that has become a desktop book for representatives of several generations of businessmen.

Particular attention is paid to the criticism of generally accepted methods of education in schools and universities and the formation of creative thinking, leading to stable financial well-being.

Book 2: The Cash Flow Quadrant

A kind of "financial primer" for people who want to learn how to properly manage their own funds. The book tells about the methods and rules of profitable investment.

The cash flow quadrant is a conditional division of the entire business world into 4 categories of people:

  • employees;
  • entrepreneurs;
  • businessmen;
  • investors.

Each of them has, according to Robert Kiyosaki, their own values ​​and a certain way of thinking, which determine their financial well-being in the future.

The main idea of ​​the book is that having determined our “position” in the quadrant, we will be able to work on changing it and further increasing our income, including, if you have not yet, then becoming a businessman and investor, you will be able to receive it.

Kinga 3. Rich Dad's Guide to Investing

Kiyosaki argues that there are investments for the poor and for the rich. The book contains a lot of practical advice and allows you to transform your own thinking. Real leadership that works for the long term.

Profitable investing skills will allow you to get more by working less or not working (in the conventional sense of the word) at all.

From the book, you will learn where to invest money to make it work and learn to see investment opportunities that you did not notice before.

Book 4. School of Business

If you decide to start your business from scratch, then check out another of Kiyosaki's most powerful works - the book "School of Business". It was co - written with Sharon Letcher and is about hidden values ​​.

By learning how the business actually works, you can find your own path to wealth.

According to Kiyosaki, anyone who has an incentive and determination can achieve financial, and at the same time spiritual well-being.

To do this, you just need to change the mentality of a poor person to the worldview of a rich one. About that, we already wrote earlier.

Book 5

A guide for parents who want to nurture the skills of a winner in their children. A textbook in which the basics of financial literacy are presented in an accessible and convincing way.

Armed with the knowledge gained, your child will be ready for real life even before completing secondary education.

The book will help your child make an important and effective financial breakthrough at a very early stage of independent life.

3. The game "Cash flow" - effective teaching of investment strategies

When Kiyosaki was writing his book CASHFLOW Quadrant, it occurred to him genious idea: create an educational game based on your work. He called it CashFlow, which means “Cash Flow” in Russian.

In one of the articles of our magazine, I have already spoken in detail about the game (Cash Flow) in all details. Let me remind you here that this is a really effective and exciting method of teaching profitable investing and the rules of a successful business.

The game helped me personally to earn much more and understand the principles of the functioning of money.

I guarantee that once you start playing, you will change your attitude to real finance. The game is a kind of training that will allow you to evolve from an employee to a business owner and investor.

Robert Kiyosaki's key ideas in 10 minutes

You can learn more about the ideas of Robert Kiyosaki by reading books. We will focus only on some interesting ideas.

Idea 1. Never work for money

The entrepreneur showed that if we work for money, we will fall into a vicious circle from which we will not be able to get out so easily. We will have a certain “threshold”, “ceiling”, above which we will not be able to rise. Roberta convinced him of this. own life and watching others.

Idea 2: The rich acquire assets. The poor and the middle class are liabilities considered assets

Assets put money in your pocket, liabilities take it out. Enough common misconception: The house you live in, the car you drive, are assets. In fact, these are the most popular liabilities among the poor. This course explores this idea in great detail.

Idea 3: The rich operate on the right side of the cash flow quadrant. The poor are on the left

The cash flow quadrant is another fundamental idea of ​​Robert Kiyosaki. According to her, people make money in one of four ways:

1. A hired worker works for little money, risks the most.

2. Works for himself and only. Often he has one source of income.

3. Business hires those who work. Shifts risks, receives profit from different sources.

4. The investor invests money.

The first 2 methods belong to the left side of the quadrant. To the right - the second.

Idea 4. Ruin is a temporary phenomenon, and poverty is permanent

There is a difference between the concepts of being poor and being broke. Ruin is a temporary phenomenon, but poverty is permanent. If you look at the success stories of rich people, you will almost always find a period in which these people went completely broke and even got into a big debt hole, but at the same time they found the strength to rise and become successful again. A striking example- Current US President Donald Trump.

In detail about how rich and poor people think and make decisions, what are the key differences between them, Robert Kiyosaki and Donald Trump told in their new book. It is not necessary to agree with these postulates. But it makes sense to know.

Idea 5. If you think that education is expensive, try to find out how much ignorance costs

Another key ingredient to the success of the wealthy is continuous learning. They are true professionals in the field of investing and creating cash flow. Someone makes money on stocks, someone, like Robert Kiyosaki, on real estate. But they all thoroughly understand the issue of investing. Ignorance, as a rule, deprives you of money already when you are just taking the first steps.

So the first thing to do is get proper education. Now there are many opportunities for this - for example, training courses. Many materials are in the public domain.
