![]() ![]() Kiyosaki himself states that gathering experience and education are vastly more important than cash. #12 Education is More Valuable than Money You must persist through these adversities and keep your eye on your ultimate goals don’t let fear arrest your momentum and bring you back to where you were before. No matter how fortunate you are and how skilled you might be, you’ll eventually find setbacks in your way to success. The key to overcoming your greed is largely through financial knowledge and literacy. You must learn to calm your greed and control it so that you don’t waste money and spend it on things that won’t eventually return wealth to your pocket. Greed is what causes people to make short-term investments or purchases, buying up liabilities instead of assets. This fear can then become a cycle, especially as you get older and start to feel more trapped in terms of your personal opportunities or familial obligations. That’s because the fear of the consequences of failure stops most people from leaving the rat race and working hard at a job they despise just for monetary gain. Most people are already trapped in the mindset of Poor Dad. Being bold creates opportunities that will either lead to future success or valuable experience you can bring to bear on new ventures. The Poor Dad, writes Kiyosaki, will be paralyzed from self-doubt and terror and never take a successful risking his life. While overconfidence can be detrimental to your overall progress, there’s a difference between a healthy respect for risk and outright fear. #8 Fear and Self-Doubt Should Not Be Heeded Searching for answers to solve your problems, or turning those problems into opportunities, is a much better mindset for any entrepreneur and for general day-to-day issues as well. Rather than spending time ruminating on the walls or barriers in your way, you should instead look at anything you want or any obstacle you want to overcome and figure out how to achieve those goals. Taking sales courses or otherwise training this skill are both valid avenues to becoming a better salesperson. Even if you are an artist, Kiyosaki stresses that you must be able to sell your products or your services or you will not be successful. In a capitalist economy, being able to sell your product, no matter what it is, is critical to success. Having jobs that teach you these skills are even more valuable. Accounting, the law, investing, and markets are all valuable spheres that anyone looking to secure their financial future should become well-versed in. In keeping with the Rich Dad mindset, Kiyosaki advises that gathering experience from a multitude of fields and skills is necessary to become financially literate and successful. Rich people largely stay rich because they avoid unnecessary liabilities. Liabilities are distinguished as things that lose their value over time, like most products and anything trendy. These are things like homes or bonds: both of which can potentially earn you money if you resell or rent them. Kiyosaki points out that the rich typically buy assets once they’ve accumulated enough wealth. In addition, this mindset emphasizes owning your own business for financial security. Being an entrepreneur and accumulating experience and learning which you can then transition into new job opportunities is much more valuable. On the flip side, the Rich Dad mindset advises any to listen to get a job that teaches valuable skills. However, the major pitfall is that people following this mindset will work a job they do not love, lessening their quality of life. Reading about and learning from other successful people are critical to accumulating wealth from this perspective. The Poor Dad in this story believes that the key to accumulating wealth lies in finding a stable job and also largely depends on your family and their financial background. Both “dads” have contrasting advice for those looking to earn and save money. The Poor Dad was the father of his best friend and who owned dozens of his own businesses. In this allegorical story, the Rich Dad is Kiyosaki’s biological father who was a college professor. The book’s primary ideas explore the contrasting mentalities of the two titular fathers.
