Robert Kiyosaki - inspirational words of wisdom
"The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way.”
"The only difference between a rich person and poor person is how they use their time.”
"Your future is created by what you do today, not tomorrow.”
"The primary reason people seek job security is because that is what they are taught to seek, at home, and at school... then with debt loads, they must cling even tighter to a job, or professional security, just to pay the bills.”
"We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them.”
"It is not how much you make that counts but how much money you keep.”
"The reason so many financial advisors are called brokers is because they are often broker than you.”
"Education is the foundation of success. Just as scholastic skills are vitally important, so are financial skills and communication skills.”
"One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home, not at school.”
"The rich don’t work for money. The poor and middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them.”
"The rich buy assets. The poor only have expenses. The middle class buys liabilities they think are assets.”"Job security is a myth... it is also risky for self-employed people in my opinion. If they get sick, injured, or die, their income is directly impacted.”
"A job is really a short-term solution to a long-term problem.”
"My rich dad taught me to focus on passive income and spend my time acquiring the assets that provided passive or long-term residual income... passive income from capital gains, dividends, residual income from business, rental income from real estate, and royalties.”
"Be sure to have friends who demand more of you rather than tell you why you cannot do what you want to do.”
