Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In this follow-up to his bestselling Rich Dad Poor Dad, Kiyosaki offers little substance and much fluff, forcing readers to wade through business cliches and unattributed statistics in order to find the few rough nuggets of entrepreneurial wisdom that make this book worth the asking price. Fear, Kiyosaki writes, is what separates employees from entrepreneurs. The latter are employees who have faced down their fears about job security and drawing their next paycheck and are willing to fail in order to be free. Kiyosaki's other maxims are decidedly less striking. Lesson 8, "What Is the Job of the Business Leader?", depends upon a triangular "team-leadership-mission" diagram that is an amalgam of current business book gimmickry. The same is true of Lesson 6, "The Three Kinds of Money"-spiritual, competitive, cooperative-which offers nothing that hasn't appeared in other business titles. He states in Chapter 1 that statistics show 90 percent of all new businesses fail within five years, a questionable figure that appears to contradict U.S. Census and Small Business Administration statistics. (Kiyosaki also neglects to mention that many small businesses that close are successful at closure.) Largely due to Kiyosaki's bombastic style, this is an inspiring read, but it bears about as much resemblance to actual entrepreneurship as steamy romance novels do to actual relationships.

Product Description

One of the basic tenets of the Rich Dad philosophy is to make the jump from employee to boss. This is the book that shows you how to make that leap - in 10 easy steps. Everyone in business knows that you won't ever achieve great wealth by being an employee. The real secret to making money and reaching financial independence is to start your own company and develop it quickly. Millions of aspiring entrepreneurs are already convinced that this is the way to go - but they just don't know how to take those first few steps. In BEFORE YOU QUIT YOUR JOB, Robert Kiyosaki presents first-hand accounts of his own start-up companies and how he learned from both his failures and his successes. Along the way he explains the basics of: * How to determine if your idea is a good one * How to write a solid business plan and where to find Othe People's Money to help finance the idea * How to incorporate yourself for business and tax purposes * How to help you find key advisors to help develop your concept * How to best launch your product or service.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another Rehash Robert?, September 17, 2005
By Emmett C. Dempsey (Port Saint Lucie, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I will preface this with the fact that I skimmed through the book when I was at the bookstore. However, I came to the same conclusion that other reviewers have of Kiyosaki's last few books: He just rehashes the tenants of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" over and over.

I would flip randomly at a page and read a few paragraphs and swear I was reading "Rich Dad, Poor Dad". Things like "Don't Work for Money", "Become and Entrepreneur", etc. And he went into the different types of thinking...i.e. Cash Flow Quadrant rehash.

Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of Kiyosaki and enjoy his message. I even met him in person one time and it was great. But is this what his "business" is? Just reselling millions of Americans on the hope that his books will help them? Other than his book/game empire, what is Kiyosaki's major business?? Anyways, just my two cents.

4.0 out of 5 stars A must read!, September 27, 2005
This book is another in the Rich Dad Poor Dad series. In it Kiyosaki explores what it takes to transition from employee to entrepreneur and from entrepreneur to business leader. He identifies and debunks the excuses people give for not acting on their dreams, He also identifies the roadblocks that people put in their own way by not thinking clearly about what it will really take to make an idea a profitable reality.

Among the vital lessons Kiyosaki wants us to learn are:

1. A successful entrepreneur finds the right idea, the right people to act on the idea, and the right money to leverage the whole project.

2. A successful entrepreneur operates from freedom and opportunity rather than security and resources.

3. The best time to answer the tough questions about starting a business -- is before you start the business -- not when you're in the middle of it. Some of these questions are:
a. How badly do I want my own business? Why?
b. How much will I extend myself to succeed?
c. Am I afraid to fail? If so, how can I make this a strength?
d. Am I willing to educate myself on the essential components of a successful business (defining and describing team, leadership, mission and understanding product, legal, systems, communications, and cash flow)?

4. Learn how to turn bad luck into good luck.

The book is filled with easy-to-understand, but sometimes hard-to-apply advice. But hard only in the sense that most of us do not like asking ourselves the hard questions -- and then acting on those answers. However, would-be entrepreneurs can accelerate their success by a thoughtful reading and application of this book and its principles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read it if you are serious about making the change, April 24, 2006
I am amazed yet not surprised by the range of reviews. This is absolutely Robert's best book ever. I totally appreciated Sharon's input as she is a straight "A" student like me and I can identify with her intelligence. However I can also identify with Roberts academic weakness because I studied a highlly skilles E/S profession not Business so as far as business is concerned, I'm as dumb as he was in the beginning.

I have read Roberts first 3 books, listened to most of his CD's, Studied his Choose to be rich program and am presently enrolled in Coaching. Every time he starts any teaching he covers the basics so if you never read one of his other books you get an introduction to the concepts. Since the books each build on the other he refers you to the others for further details on some concepts. People like me who are serious about making the transition from employee and self employed to business owner and investor hungrily soak up every word out of Roberts mouth. I noticed that most negative reviewers admit to skimming over the book or just listening to the abridged CD. You missed the meat. I'm sorry for you. It's sad to see someone fight so hard for the right to stay the same.

I too find Robert repetitive at times but I use the opportunity to remind myself of old lessons and prepare myself for the new lesson to come. This new lesson usually stands on the foundation of the previous lesson hence why he must repeat it at least briefly.

On my own personal journey to Business owner and Investor I have found Robert's guidance on changing who you ARE and finding the WHY for your change before working on the HOW-TO PRICELESS!! People who want a GRQ (get rich quick) will never like Robert. They should stop buying his books and go elsewhere.

If you really want to make the change don't just read, STUDY. I don't know if you will ever find this dept of insight into what the change really costs anywhere else. Almost Every other writer wants you to think they are great and that is why they are successful. Robert is brutally honest. This is what we need.
