Rich Dad Poor Dad Seminar

Rich Dad Poor Dad

I first read the rich dad poor dad book written by Robert Kiyosaki a few years back, needless to say I was impressed. Definitely changed my outlook on how I view money especially in the economy now a days, thank you Obama.

The book is very good, Robert talks about how he grew up with a poor dad, verse a rich dad, the poor dad was his own father who was a teacher with a stable job. The rich dad was his friends dad who owned multiple business and had cash flow from every angle. Which is a beautiful thing. I highly recommend reading this book, you will look at your current financial situation a lot different. Easy read.

Back to the point, the Rich Dad Poor Dad was basically a huge marketing powerpoint, although the speaker had very good points on real estate, he also had some very weird points on real estate. Especially when he said it is better to take a loan out from a private person than a bank, which is odd. The guy then tried selling the next few sessions during his presentation, I mean I would have fallen for it if i was a dimwit like everyone else was. 

The presentation highlighted some good points from the book, how you can't rely on anyone but yourself, how financial knowledge is the most important, how you should have multiple flows of income, and setting up retirement plans and a younger age.

The seminar was more geared towards real estate and how to get involved in it. I will eventually get into real estate myself, but not paying to learn. A few books and some mentors will be good enough. I learn from experience, not paying some guy to talk to me for eight hours a day for three days on what to do with my money.

It was very good marketing I will admit that, then again my friends, myself, and my father were smart enough to not get sucked into the next seminar. We might have been the only ones who didn't shoot right up and go spend 500$ on whatever it was they were selling..

I do enjoy his books, currently I am reading Second Chance by Robert Kiyosaki, i read a few books at the same time, don't ask why. Second chance is very good so far and I highly recommend it.
