Robert T Kiyosaki

Robert T Kiyosaki is an acclaimed motivational author, businessman, and investor. He is best known for his #1 New York Times best seller book Rich Dad Poor Dad.

He was born as Robert Toru Kiyosaki on April 8, 1947 in Hilo, Hawaii to a family of dedicated educators. After high school Robert moved to New York where he completed his education. Robert T Kiyosaki proceeded to join the U.S. Marine corps and served proudly in Vietnam as a helicopter gunship pilot.

Robert T Kiyosaki returned to his wife Kim after Vietnam and began working as a sales executive for the Xerox Company. In 1985 Kiyosaki founded a business and investment education company that taught to a large number of students throughout the world.

Since the Success of Rich Dad Poor Dad Robert T Kiyosaki has started his most promising business venture, CASH FLOW Technologies, Inc. His company is based around the sales of his literary products and CASH Flow game products.

Robert T Kiyosaki teaches his main philosophy of generating a passive income through real estate and small business ventures. He advocates high risk investments as the path to wealth and discourages investment in securities and mutual funds.

Although he has had great success as a motivational author and speaker much of his financial advice has been highly criticized and in some cases deemed dangerous.

For instance Robert T Kiyosaki has said that’s its better to stick with a few good investments rather than diversifying or investing in a 401k. At the same time he has been quoted in articles giving inaccurate financial advice. In response to his criticism Robert T Kiyosaki has stated that his materials are designed to motivate people to think differently about money not give them a step by step guide to wealth.

Furthermore he is constantly criticized for exaggerating facts in his materials. His own success as a businessman and investor prior to the Rich Dad Poor Dad phenomenon is always questioned. Even the existence of the “Rich Dad” in his book has never been factually verified.

Overall Robert T Kiyosaki’s financial advice is best served to those that have money but have not begun investing. For someone whose own financial knowledge is questionable Kiyosaki offers risky and potentially disastrous strategies, and to people that have little experience investing.

Self help gurus like Robert T Kiyosaki don't care about your financial well being, they only care about lining their own pockets from book sales.

I have read almost all of the rich dad books and have to say that in every single one he emphasizes how important increasing your own financial IQ is the most important thing anyone can do. In fact he talks about not being an average investor. So I would say that he does not give "risky and potentially disastrous strategies...to people that have little experience investing" He says many times that this is dangerous. All I am sure of is that he has been more successful than I have which means I can learn something from him. His methods are "simple, but not easy"

I have to say that Kiyosaki has good points that he slaps the average money wasting and approval seeking joe blow in the face by stating that spending money on toys and doodads, before investing, is a sure way to screw up your financial future. I fully agree with this statement but having said that: it is also a bit too simple and too obvious. I signed up for Kiyosaki's coaching programm ($4000 US) and can honestly say that I learned nothing new. In addtition his books do not actually have any real solid content, but I would advice one to have a read at least because it will provide you other ways of thinking about money as what we were taught by our parents. Just don't expect any precise investment advice.

I just walked out of a $495 alleged Training seminar on the second day when the presenter went into hard sell on "Advanced Courses" Of the 60 people in attendance he became rather irate and frustrated when only 2 couples signed up for the $25,000 programs. The biggest gripe being expressed was that we were sold on the idea of this being a training seminar, and over half was "hard Sell" on more programs. The details were skimmed over and we were left with "Cliff Hangers" that we could get if we signed up for more. The original advertisement read $4995 for the advanced training, but instead today we learned it was $9,995 to $69,995 and we need to pay on the spot. I have read the books.... but they contain no facts and nothing with "meat" or "nuts and bolts" to succeed in the Real Estate business that he is promoting..... sorry reality is a real bite

Robert T. Kiyosaki is a best-selling author, who got rich telling the American public "how to get rich." Much of mainstream America has read his books. He is on many Bestseller lists, including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. If Robert T. Kiyosaki's advice and his books and games are so great, then why is America in a financial crisis? Why is there a major "Mortgage crisis"? Why the need for "Tax Rebates" to help out struggling Americans? Why is there a such thing as a "Staycation" for the average Joe Blow who can't afford a real vacation?

i found Kiyosaki's books very much captivating in fact I'm influenced by it with the way i see things right at this very moment. As i was reading his first book rich dad poor dad it serves like mirror for my situation and i really believe in his point of views in business. His books is made for people who are willing to understand the real world. I just want to quote some of the best things i've read from his books. These are not the exact words but same essence. Let your money works for you. If your money works for you, you can spend more time with your family, you can travel the world with your loved ones, you can give to charity....i adore Mr. Kiyosaki. I'll follow each steps written in his books for me to achieve my financial freedom.

I joined the program and have been having problems with their misrepresentation, dishonesty and poor customer service. And do not expect a penny back once it is in their hands, no matter how legitimate the reason.

I figure the fact that Robert and Donald Trump are buddies, lends just a bit of credibility to his business acumen. Wouldn't you agree?

This is business and not personal. Robert Kiyosaki understands the business chasis and is sharing this with people who don't. There is only one way to determine who is right and who is wrong, and that is to take action on the advice. Everything in life is a risk, but having read Rich Dad Poor Dad he mentions that it is calculated and educated risks that return positive results. There are a lot of selfish people out there who will put obsticles in your way to prevent you from success, so it is essential to know who is friend and who is foe when taking advice. Robert Kiyosaki is speaking from experience and people make mistakes and overcome them . All he is doing is keeping it real by not sugar coating the fact that on the road to riches we will make mistakes. He also mentions that he is not actually the best guru in finance, but he knows how to deliver a product to EARN the title "BEST SELLER" which is the point of any business. He gives the example of MacDonalds and that it doesn't off... read more »

First let me say that I'm a Robert Kiyosaki fan. I think the basic elements of his books and programs are dead-on. They have inspired me to start a business and start investing. I now have 1 rental property and a small business that pays me more than the full time job 6-figure job I had 4 years ago. I am finally poised to purchase more investments, including real estate and other small businesses. The fundamentals I have learned from Kiyosaki's teachings have put me on a path to wealth. REALLY! The richest of the rich didn't get that way buy buying Mutual funds. Consider Carnegie, Buffet, Gates, and Trump etc... They don't invest in a 401K. Buffet for example owns a mutual fund. He CREATED the investment and sells it to you and me. If you want to be rich Don't Be Average. The average investor buys diversified mutual funds. The average investor is the same as saying "middle class". Which by definition is NOT rich. Are Kiyosaki's teachings risky? My honest answer is yes AND no. Yes..... read more »

I have found Mr Kiyosakis information to be extremely accurate. Since studying the rich dad program I have bought 3 properties which make me money on a monthly basis. The Tax advice that I have gotten in his books and program I have confirmed with my own accountant. I pay far less in taxes since I started playing by the rules of the rich and not the middle class or poor. However if you want to take the same old advice of save in vest in mutual funds and your 401k that is up to you
