I love having the chance to work with people I look up to. I remember many years ago watching late night infomercials. I knew them all. I had my favorite ones. No not the hair in a can stuff. The ones from great entrepreneurs were my favorites. I’ve always had the entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve come up with a million small business in my life. Mostly unfocused though. Never living up to the potential. It took great mentors to push me. One of those mentors, unbeknownst to them, is Robert Kiyosaki. You probably know him as the Rich Dad Poor Dad Guy. I read his first book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, right after deciding to drop out of college. I knew that college was not meant for me. I don’t do well with bosses. I had to make my own way. The core of what I learned from that book came down to thinking. The rich think different from the poor. Certain ways of looking at things prevents you from achieving the success you want. When I was contacted to review his new book I was excited. This is a sponsored post by Rich Dad. Regardless I will and have turned down opportunities many times if they don’t align with our values in this community. This I fully support.
Second Chance
Few would argue with the fact that, on many fronts, we are a world in crisis. And there are two sides to every crisis, be it a leadership crisis, an economic crisis, an education crisis or a moral crisis. The two side to crisis are danger and opportunity.
Second Chance is about learning from the past to meet the future. Robert, like all of us, realizes that a shift is coming. A collapse. The world can not sustain the way it’s going. He wants to help prepare you to face this change. The first part of the book present how we got here. What brought us to this time in history. How have things got so bad. He as always teaches with stories of his growing up with two dads. His own father who followed a traditional path like many of us. Who got caught up keeping up with the Jones’. The other was his friends Dad. He took a different path. Following his advice shaped Robert into the man he is today. This book is a real financial education. The kind you do not get from school. Many are completely clueless on these matters. It primes you to learn more. It pushes you to act! I yell at all my friends to start a business. Do a blog or a podcast. You are passionate about something. So do something about it. If you need a proper kick in the behind then grab a copy of Second Chance.
