Everyone in business knows that you won't ever achieve great wealth by being an employee. The real secret to making money and reaching financial independence is to start your own company and develop it quick One of the basic tenets of the Rich Dad philosophy is to make the jump from employee to boss. This is the book that shows you how to make that leap - in 10 easy steps. Everyone in business knows that you won't ever achieve great wealth by being an employee. The real secret to making money and reaching financial independence is to start your own company and develop it quickly. Millions of aspiring entrepreneurs are already convinced that this is the way to go - but they just don't know how to take those first few steps. In BEFORE YOU QUIT YOUR JOB, Robert Kiyosaki presents first-hand accounts of his own start-up companies and how he learned from both his failures and his successes.
Along the way he explains the basics of: How to determine if your idea is a good one How to write a solid business plan and where to find Othe People's Money to help finance the idea How to incorporate yourself for business and tax purposes How to help you find key advisors to help develop your concept How to best launch your product or service. Why I Read this Book: I was about to quit my job to pursue some of my true interests. This sounded relevant.
It certainly was. Review: A lot can be learned from Robert Kiyosaki and his experiences.

Review: A lot can be learned from Robert Kiyosaki and his experiences. I enjoy his books because they not only take an innovative perspective on things, but it is a perspective from which he lives day in and day out. I found myself at the book store a year or so ago with a pile of books having to do with Entrepreneurship and being your own boss. I was within weeks of my final day at work and to be honest, I was starting to get a bit nervous. I had nothing lined up, but that of course was the point. I did not want to have anything else lined up because I was determined to find something to do on my own. This would take creativity and as I have mentioned so many other places on this site, my creativity is at its peak when I am reading, especially when the authors have done what I want do.
This book seemed like the perfect fit. It seemed very logical to read a book entitled “Before You Quit Your Job” just before I quit mine. The funny thing is that I did not actually get around to reading it until my last day at work had come and past. As it turned out this book was much more about being a successful entrepreneur than it was about quitting any job. I think the title may be a bit misleading but it certainly got my attention. The subtitle, “10 Real-Life Lessons Every Entrepreneur Should Know About Building a Multimillion-Dollar Business,” is much more fitting. Throughout the book Kiyosaki (and his C.P.A.

Sharon Lechter) discuss the most important aspects and necessities of being an entrepreneur. He positions them as ten lessons but through those ten he is able to get across countless tips and fundamentals that any and everyone should at least be conscious of before setting out to be successful on their own.
What I think is most powerful about this book is that it is as much of a biography about Robert’s business and lifetime trials and tribulations as it is anything else. I have mentioned before how valuable it is to read others’ life stories to get an understanding for what it took to get them to the proverbial top. Before You Quit Your Job is perfect for that. Kiyosaki is the model entrepreneur. He quit his high paying job to go out on his own, he failed, he learned, he did well, he failed, he learned and then he did very well. He discusses the various peaks and valleys that he experienced and how they have made him a better entrepreneur and business man.
It is encouraging to read that Kiyosaki’s road to the top was not without some major down turns. When it comes down to it, you are the sum of your experiences. You can either make them work for you or against you, but it is for you to decide. Robert channeled all of his experiences into a very powerful and positive energy. You can do the same. There are a few points mentioned throughout this book that I believe are exceptionally powerful. One is the discussion about excuses.
Robert emphasizes the fact that excuses are one of the easiest things to come up with and are probably the most limiting thoughts for an Entrepreneur. You cannot let excuses get the best of you. Money is the perfect example of a common excuse for not going after what you love. Some of the most successful people of our time have gotten to the top after starting with nothing. He also puts great value on continued learning, attending seminars, knowing how to sell and having a mission statement. That mission idea seems to be coming up more and more doesn’t it? Perhaps it is worth investigating.
The concept that has stuck with me the most since reading this book is the following. It is easy to stand still and do nothing. It is so easy to go to work for those 40 hours and keep getting your steady paycheck. It is so easy to keep doing what you have always done, but then of course we know you will keep getting what you have always gotten. There will never be a perfect time to make that leap out of complacency and into your dream. The hardest part is getting started. Get educated about it and start today.
This book is full of general but practical advice on planning, launching, and growing a business. The focus is more on growing a large business than on becoming self-employed. In fact, Kiyosaki seems to view self-employed professionals as underachievers, as if those people fall short by not building large businesses.

Kiyosaki speaks a lot from firsthand experience, but he also draws lessons from businesses and entrepreneurs. I’m a fan, so despite his low opinion of the self-employed, I found several points to remember as I grow my part-time web design company,. With my company, I’m already following his advice to keep your day job but start a side business.
I liked the point that the most successful businesses are those on a mission, pursuing a higher calling than profit. 3 skills for a successful business 1.
Be able to sell. Attract, build, and motivate a great team. Teach others to sell, be team players, and succeed. The B-I Triangle (B is for Business Owner, I for Investor) Framework Mission: purpose and direction of business Team: people with necessary expertise and skills: owners, employees, outside advisors, business partners Leadership: business owner’s guidance Levels Product: goods or services the business sells Legal: business entity, intellectual property protection, agreements Systems: processes and procedures: billing, accounting, customer service, etc. Communications: interaction and relationships within the business, and between business and the world: reputation, PR, marketing, sales Cash Flow: capital to operate and execute. Product isn’t the most important; it’s just the top of the pyramid, supported by the foundation. Be the expert in one level, and build a team of experts in the others.
3 types of money 1. Competitive money, from competing for jobs, raises, customers, market share, employees. Cooperative money, from cooperating with a business team. Spiritual money, from doing work for a higher calling; not necessarily because you want to do it, but because it must be done and you know you’re the one to do it. It can be because you love the work, or to become the best version of yourself, or because you’re on a mission in life to serve others.
One type of money isn’t better than the others. Entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs aren’t necessarily born; they can be trained. Freedom and security are opposites. Entrepreneurs value freedom over security. Entrepreneurs thrive on risk; employees avoid it.
Entrepreneurship is “the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled.”. Most entrepreneurs own a job, not a business. If you can’t leave your business for a year, it’s probably a job. Additional advice. “Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.” This sentiment has become popular with Web 2.0, agile development, and the lean startup movement. Don’t fear mistakes. Experiment and learn from failure.
Be a smart spender rather than a saver. Spend money that makes you money. Spend over 50% of your time working on the business’ future. This involves marketing, PR, R&D, strategic partnerships, new deals, and making financial projections. Aim to be the most expensive.
A higher price is perceived as more valuable. The higher the price, the more precise your marketing must be. Successful businesses have a mission, to solve a problem or fill a need.
They serve others. To be rich, serve more people. Scale the business to become rich. Move from self-employed to big business.
Take the “self” out of “self-employed.” Final tips. Be willing to ask for help. Find a mentor. Join an entrepreneur’s network. Find these through the SBA, or chambers of commerce. Consider the Entrepreneur’s Organization. Thanks, Tanner, for letting me borrow this!
One more business book for the memory bank. All good concepts, and like many of Kiyosaki's books, a little on the repetitive side. The things that stuck with me: 1) Make sure the following bases are covered: - Product - Legal - Systems - Communications - Cash Flow (A good guide to follow for the newbie entrepreneur.) 2) Don't market yourself as being cheap - this will only get you cheap customers.

I'm looking forward to reading it- sounds like it may have some good advice around doing marketing that actually gets results, as opposed to high-profile PR (which is what most people in my field are all about). This is my 3rd Rich Dad book.

Well, I don't know what it means that the last book I finished in 2008 was a financial book, but I wonder if it might have any effect on the upcoming year. Of course, as much as I enjoy the Rich Dad series, I do not intend to become an entrepreneur (mostly because I have a REAL problem spelling that without the help of spell check!).

Still, even without having a goal of building a business, I found the fourth book in the 'Rich Dad' series to be very thought provoking, and it gave me a lot to chew on. Kiyosaki makes some interesting points about building a business, and he does a good job noting the difference between the self-employed and the multimillion-dollar businesses. His overall structure was very helpful, but the content of the chapters were a big confusing. For instance, he talks about how a person who sets up a business in the 'S' (self-employed) quadrant has a difficult time transiting to the 'B' (business) quadrant (the quadrants being from the Cash-Flow quadrant discussed in book two, 'Rich Dad's CashFlow Quadrant'). Then he goes on to discuss how he intentionally threw himself into the 'S' quadrant with hopes of learning more about how to enter the 'B' quad. Now, I understand the logic behind it - you cannot learn how to build a multimillion-dollar business if you don't understand how to build a small business.

But still, the way he phrases it seems intuitively contradictive. I did appreciate some of the insight he provided into the formation of his 'Rich Dad' company. At long last, I know why every time I finish re-reading 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' I consider purchasing Kiyosaki's game 'CashFlow' - because the book was written not only with the idea to educate but also as a marketing strategy.
I also appreciated the time Kiyosaki spent justifying the higher price, as a part of the various pricing strategies small businesses need to consider. (And another great sales pitch; when I began weighing the game not as an entertainment board game but as an investment class, the $200 price tag seemed more reasonable scary, isn't it?.) At the very least, I came to understand why he chose to make a game so expensive. Whether or not we will ever purchase it is still up in the air. Anyone with the intentions of operating in the 'B' quadrant - or even in the 'S' quadrant - would greatly benefit from reading this book. But they are not the only ones; people who intend to move into the 'I' quadrant would equally benefit.
Also, as I recall, there are some points made for those intending to invest in real estate - I'm still not sure if that is a 'B' or an 'I' quadrant - that function here, the way Kiyosaki discusses incorporating. In short, this is a great book for anyone who hopes to improve their financial literacy. This is my 3rd Rich Dad book. I read Cashflow Quadrant and Rich Dad Poor Dad a little over a year ago. I must say this was my favorite out of the 3 (hated the 1st one, the 2nd one was okay). A lot of entrepreneurship books (especially the ones written by women) make owning your own business seem so wonderful, rewarding, and easy without actually being realistic about failure and being candid about their own failures.

I think everyone should understand the valuable advice in this book before starting a business. There were a few things I did not like about this book. I got tired of the 'rich dad says' dialogue.
I realize his stories are how he keeps the book entertaining but unless he carried a tape recorder every time he talked to his 'rich dad' there's no way he remembered all of those conversations. I caught him slipping a couple times through the book using his own words. I also do not like his attitude towards small businesses and self employed.
This is the same feeling I had toward Rich Dad Poor Dad. The tips in the book were great but could be discouraging to someone in the S category. Some people like being their own boss. Some people would rather operate a small business than a big corporation so I didnt like the way he criticized businesses that stay small. That advice would've been better for one of his real estate investing or retiring rich books. I like how he told his story of coming from S to I, I just think that his emphasis on 'building the multimillion dollar business' could actually discourage people on starting their business.
It seems like the Rich Dad business did not take off until he and his wife were retired and living off passive income from investments so I hope people really do use the tips but dont give up if you don't become a rich dad. Do what you love that will make you money even if its as an S or small B or even an E!
I wish I had read this book before quitting my job and launching my first entrepreneurial pursuit about six years ago, which took off fast and promptly failed after two years. I would have saved myself thousands of dollars and much heartache. I still would have quit my job, but not as soon as I did.
With this book as a guide I would have been better prepared financially and mentally to take the plunge. Having read every book in the RichDad series, this is by far one of the best.

With this book as a guide I would have been better prepared financially and mentally to take the plunge.
Having read every book in the RichDad series, this is by far one of the best. Robert does a great job explaining the distinct differences of an entrepreneur and employee(mindset, attitude, responsibilities etc), explaining what pitfalls to avoid, listing the key skills every entrepreneur needs to develop, covering the 3 types of money and (my favorite) the importance of an entrepreneur's pursuit of mission over money. Im preparing to launch my next venture and having read this book twice I definitely feel I'm on my way to a much smoother transition from employee to entrepreneur. If your thinking of quitting your job and becoming an entrepreneur this book will help you decide if you should jump ship or stay in the boat a little longer. Best wishes to you on your pursuit.

I think that this definitely applies to a manufacturing sort of business. Some of the concepts I image are not quite as relevant if you are running a software business, but most of it is probably good stuff to understand. The idea that every entrepreneur is a salesman is important to grasp. This was a very inspirational and insightful book.
