Ways of Becoming Rich 6 & 7

I'm continuing to share this week the ways of becoming rich as described by Robert Kiyosaki in his book Business School.

Robert Kiyosaki Quote: "If you want to be rich and happy, don't go to school." Ask anyone who went to traditional college. Did it teach them how to get rich? Career and lifestyle are two different things. What do you really want?

6. You can become rich by being exceptionally smart, talented, attractive or gifted. Tiger Woods is an example of an exceptionally gifted golfer - a golfer who spent years developing his gift. Yet being gifted, smart or talented is still no guarantee of becoming rich. Rich Dad would say, "The world is filled with gifted people who never become rich. Just go to Hollywood and you find many beautiful, handsome and talented actors who earn less than most people." Statistics also show that 65 percent of all professional athletes are broker five years after their high-paying professional careers are over. In the world of money, it takes more than God-given brains, talent or good looks to become rich.

7. You can become rich by being lucky. Trying to become rich by being lucky is almost as popular as trying to become rich by being cheap. As most of us know, millions of people bet billions, maybe trillions, of dollars on the lottery, the race tracks, casinos and on sporting events, all hoping to strike it rich by being lucky. Moreover, as we all know, for every lucky person there are thousands, maybe millions, of unlucky people. Again, studies have shown that most lottery winners are broker five years after winning more money than they could have earned in five lifetimes. Therefore, even being lucky once or twice does not mean you hold on to your wealth.

As we can see from looking at the different sides and perception of money, there is much to be learned by all of us. Why is there much to be learned about money? Because the old traditional schools of the past, and present do not teach it for reasons right or wrong, good or bad. What matters is the here and now and what you have from it at the end of the day. Robert Kiyosaki has provided the world, the gift of financial intelligence so that each person upon their choosing has the chance at becoming rich, and free of time and money. Empower yourself with his teachings to have the lifestyle you want for yourself and your families future.
