Skills Make You Rich Not Theories

I'm continuing you share what Robert Kiyosaki wrote in his book "Business School", For People Who Like Helping People.

Skill make you rich not theories.

Do I regret dropping out from business school? Yes, sometimes I do. Yet I am also in good company of dropouts. Bill Gates, Michael Dell, Steve Jobs, and Ted Turner were also dropouts. Earlier entrepreneurs such as Thomas Edison and Henry Ford also dropped out of school. I believe that all these entrepreneurs saw the real-world business as a more exciting place to get their real-world experience. These men became monster butterflies, forever changing the world of business.

Don't get me wrong. Much of the information being taught in the business school I attended was valuable information for anyone in business. However, the school was not teaching me the street-wise skills I knew I needed to be an entrepreneur. Instead, the traditional business school was teaching me the skills to be an employee. Soon after dropping out, I began the first nylon and velcro surfer wallet business and took it worldwide with over 500 sales reps. Byu the age of 30, I was a millionaire and then the company went broker two years later. While losing a business was not a pleasant experience, it was a great education. I learned a lot in three years, not only about business, but also about myself.

More tomorrow on Roberts real life experiences, and how we can learn from them to have real life wealth and success in our own lives.
