How to Get Rich - Rich Dad, Poor Dad

I recently read an article by Robert Kiyosaki of Rich Dad, Poor Dad fame where he described the process on how he went from being broke in 1985 to being financially free 10 years later. What was fascinating about this was that it wasn’t HOW HE DID IT that he considered really important but WHY HE DID IT.

So, first of all, how did he do it?

From 1985 to 1994, Kiyosaki, his wife Kim, and best friend Larry Clark focused on rich dad’s three paths to great wealth:

* Increasing business skills
* Increasing money management skills
* Increasing investment skills

Why did he do it?…because he wanted to really challenge his own self-doubt, laziness and his past. He was fed up being broke and being average!

He described how if you want something, being PASSIONATE about it is essential. Passion gives energy to your life. Passion is a combination of love and hate. If you want something you don’t have, take a pen and sheet of paper and WRITE DOWN why you love what you want in one column and why you hate not having what you want in another. When you combine those two thoughts, you will draw upon an energy to help you get anything you want. It can be a good idea to share what you truly desire with a friend, to talk about it often and seek out support from people who will help you achieve your desire. So there you have it it…How to Get Rich advice from Rich Dad, Poor Dad!
