5.0 out of 5 stars RD/PD the power of MLM????, January 18, 2003

By	Wimge (USA) - See all my reviews

I have read more than a half dozen reviews (probably same person) attributing the success to Rich Dad, Poor Dad to network marketing (MLM).I don't know if there is any truth to that or not, but I sure hope so.You see, I just signed up into a MLM company (not Amway) and if MLM can turn a book into a mega best aeller like some people have indicated, then that certaintly prooves the power of network marketing.And obviously Network Marketing (MLM) is far more powerful than that cheesy, supposedly well researched (it's not) website that gets getting mentioned here or the constant barrage of 1 star bashers (really just one person with a attitude problem) and obviously more successful than the self publishing industry.Thanks to RD/PD, I have reorganized my investments, started a successful business and am sharing this info with family and friends.1 star reviewer (s), get a life already!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely NOT for Teenagers, October 31, 2003

By A Customer

If some adults can't understand this great work by Kiyosaki, how can we expect our teenagers to understand it?

No, instead, I would recommend Rich Dad's Rich Kid Smart Kid and then move them up to Rich Dad Poor Dad and Rich Dad's Success Stories after that.

Great to see the the Rich Dad books are still best sellers and that intelligent people are NOT taking that single one star basher too seriously. Poor guy must have a very boring life!

5.0 out of 5 stars Happy Fathers Day Rich Dad!, June 15, 2003

By A Customer

As the saying goes, Father knows best and in Rich Dad Poor Dad, bestselling author Robert Kiyosaki provides powerful and pragmatic money management strategies passed on to him by his Rich Dad.

RDPD is the book that started it all and still a best seller. Justifiably so because the advice really works.

I also recommend the other books in the Rich Dad advisor series to meet your personal needs.

Regardless of whether you are interested in learning more about real estate investing, buying or selling a business, creating a second income or a new career or just general financial issues, you will find the advice you are looking for in RDPD and in the Rich Dad's Advisors Series.

Happy Fathers Day Rich Dad and thanks for sharing.
