“You know, Robert said… ”
“Robert says people like me should…”

…When my colleague was first introduced to the “Think it, Learn it, Do it – Choose to be Rich” audio program, she started referring to Robert Kiyosaki (best known as the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad) as if he was a close friend. She just loves listening to him, it is of no surprise that her husband eventually became jealous of “Bob”.

When I first saw the name “The Automatic Millionaire”, I shunned away because I thought the title sounded like a get-rich-quick audio book. However, after listening to a few samples at nightingale conant’s, the advice given by David Bach is actually very down-to-earth and extremely simple to implement…. so simple that I can’t imagine I have not been doing it all these time. I’m glad I bought it.

“The books that help you most are those which make you think the most.” – Theodore Parker

Rich Dad, Poor Dad was one of the books that has the biggest influence in my life. It didn’t only inspire me to control my finances, but it also changed my perception of things. Kiyosaki can be seen as an iconoclast, what he says makes sense but goes head-to-head with our traditional ideals. It was my first book on finance and that was all it took to sprout my interest in personal development, business and finance.

‘Get a job, work till you are 55 then retire’ was what I’ve always been told until I stumbled across a book in my senior year of high school. The idea of retiring early or becoming financially free became a possibility, and my mind started to open up to new opportunities.

To me, being wealthy doesn’t only mean having a high income because income alone doesn’t determine wealth. It’s easy to make money, but it’s never easy to keep them.
