The economic crisis has exposed deep flaws in the traditional ways Americans approach financial security and retirement. For decades, people have relied primarily on paychecks, pensions, 401ks, home equity, and Social Security, but these are all at risk. The author has been warning for years that jobs are not secure, the stock market and home values cannot be depended on for retirement, and the whole system is unsustainable. Now unemployment is high, many lost retirement savings in the crash, and the number in poverty is rising. True financial security requires taking control of one's future through entrepreneurship and building wealth, rather than relying on jobs or the market.
The economic crisis has exposed major flaws in the traditional ways Americans approach financial security and retirement. For decades, people have relied primarily on paychecks, pensions, 401ks, home equity, and Social Security, but these are all at risk. The author has been warning for years that jobs are no longer secure, the stock market and home values can't be depended on for retirement, and Social Security may not exist for younger generations. As a result of these broken systems, unemployment and poverty are rising rapidly. The only way to truly take control of one's financial future is to have one's own business.
This document contains praise and endorsements for Dan Lok and his book "F.U. Money: Make As Much Money As You Damn Well Want And Live Your Life As You Damn Well Please!". The endorsements come from successful entrepreneurs and praise Dan Lok's unconventional approach to making money and retiring early. They say his advice will help readers make a "quantum leap" in their business and that the book will teach more practical ideas on making and enjoying money than any other source.

This document introduces the topic of money management in trading and addresses some common questions about it. It explains that proper money management is important because it can turn average returns into large profits over time through compounding. Specifically, it shows how $100,000 in profits over 5 years using money management could grow to $1 million. It then defines what money management is, focusing on how much of an account's equity to risk on each trade, and distinguishes it from related but separate concepts like trade management and pyramiding. The goal is to convince readers that learning money management can be highly valuable by maximizing profits over the long run.
The document discusses achieving financial freedom at a young age rather than waiting until retirement. It argues that students should be smart about managing their time and money to pay off debts quickly. Working jobs related to your field during the summer can help you earn more and gain experience, while jobs like waiting tables can offer flexible hours for studying but may not help pay down loans. The document advocates making time and money work for you through passive income sources, rather than exchanging all your time for money. This allows enjoying financial luxury earlier in life, like at age 30 instead of waiting until 80.

The business of the 21st century ( PDFDrive.com ) (1).pdfshivanichowdhury

This document provides an overview and table of contents for the book "The Business of the 21st Century" by Robert Kiyosaki. It introduces the author and his background learning about business from his "poor dad" and "rich dad". It explains that the book's message is that the current economic crisis presents opportunities for those who know how to build wealth through business ownership. The book is divided into three parts: the first addresses taking control of your future during uncertain times, the second explores how network marketing can generate eight wealth-building assets, and the third is about choosing your path and what it takes to succeed in building a business and living your dreams.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is about Robert Kiyosaki (author) and his two dadsâhis real father (poor dad) and the father of his best friend (rich dad)âand the ways in which both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. The book explodes the myth that you do not need to earn a high income to become rich.
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six ...
The document summarizes key lessons from the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. The book contrasts the perspectives of Kiyosaki's two fathers - his biological father who pursued higher education but struggled financially, and his best friend's father who had less formal education but achieved financial independence. Some of the main lessons discussed are: the importance of financial literacy and letting one's money work for them through assets rather than liabilities; focusing on owning businesses and assets rather than solely relying on employment income; and how corporations can be used strategically to mitigate taxes. The book advocates taking an entrepreneurial approach to building wealth through investing rather than just working for an income.
The document discusses 10 common mistakes people make with their money and how to avoid them. It begins by summarizing the first 3 mistakes:
1) Having too many eggs in one basket, or not properly diversifying investments across different market sectors.
2) Failing to rebalance a portfolio when some sectors increase in value more than others. Rebalancing ensures the portfolio maintains its original risk exposure.
3) Using the wrong investments within each sector of a diversified portfolio. Investments should be chosen to best represent each market sector.

Rich Dad Poor Dad
By Robert Kiyosaki
Itâs been almost a long time since Robert Kiyosakiâs Rich Dad Poor Dad originally caused a ripple effect in the Personal Finance field.
It has since become the Personal Finance book ever⌠converted into many dialects and sold all throughout the planet.
Rich Dad Poor Dad is Robertâs account of growing up with two fathers â his genuine dad and the dad of his closest companion, his rich father â and the manners by which the two men formed his considerations about cash and contributing. The book detonates the legend that you need to procure a top level salary to be rich and clarifies the contrast between working for cash and having your cash work for you.
This document provides an overview and summary of a book on achieving success as a financial advisor. It includes:
1. An introduction to the book and its goal of helping readers choose to "get on the elevator going up" towards financial freedom by working in the financial services sector.
2. A description of the keys to successful entrepreneurship as a financial advisor, including having strong mentors, completing training, and being part of a supportive team.
3. An explanation that working on commission as a financial advisor can be highly liberating and less risky than other career paths, as advisors have a diversified client base and a low investment requirement to achieve a high income.
This document outlines a 6-step plan for creating and selling edutainment products online.

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the many people with
whom Iâve worked to produce the ideas that are presented in this book, as
well as for the support needed to complete it.
To Ilene Gerber, my wife, partner, and editor, without whose intensity
of purpose, dedication to the truth, and love for the work, both in our
business and in the rest of the life we share together, neither this book,
our business, nor our marriage would have been possible.
To Shana, Kim, Hillary, Sam, and Alex Olivia, my children, who have
given to me more than they have received, in ways only a father can truly
know.
To all my associates at E-Myth Worldwide, present and past, whose
commitment to the ideas in this book, as well as to each other and our
clients, have given meaning to the words by living them, even when it was
impossible and when there seemed to be no good reason for doing so.
To all our thousands of clients over the years who have put their trust
in our integrity, and, in the process, caught us at least as much as we
taught them about what it means to transcend scarcity with excellence.
To Nancy and Bob Dreyfus, my sister-in-law and brother-in-law,
whose wisdom, love, and generous spirits have touched me more than
they can possibly know.
To Virginia Smith at HarperBusiness, whose caring, intelligent
friendship has seen me through the most dismal moments of writing with
a gentle, open, and willing nature that enabled me to be myself in the
moments I least wanted to be, without apology or explanation.
And, finally, to all my readers who continue to support my work so
enthusiastically.
Thank you all.

This document contains the copyright information and introduction for a book titled "Victory" that provides advice on achieving success. It includes 27 chapters by various authors on topics related to business, sales, retirement planning, and personal and financial success. The copyright protects the content from unauthorized use or reproduction. The introduction by Tom Hopkins encourages readers to choose victory in their lives and strive for continuous small wins that will lead to greater success.
The document discusses differences between buying an actual business versus just a business model or idea. It warns that buying something with no real assets or earnings will likely be unable to pay dividends and carries high risk. It suggests learning from conservative bankers, who will only lend money if a business can service interest and repay debt. Bankers understand banking, not necessarily specific businesses, and will say no if a business is unworthy of credit. The key is to bring operational experts, not just financial people, and to consider what is actually being sold - money, cash flows, numbers, or dreams.
This document is the introduction to George Nachamba's book "The Capacity Manifesto" which aims to help people gain clarity about career paths and earning potential. The introduction shares Nachamba's personal journey and lessons learned. It describes how he grew up with academic success but struggled to find passion in his career as an accountant. He shares hardships faced in Zimbabwe's economic decline and as an immigrant in England. Nachamba came to realize the "life bungee rope" concept - that one's background and circumstances can either facilitate or impede success. The book aims to help readers understand their capabilities and best options for achievement and fulfillment.
Boost Your Sales, Increase Your Sales, Get More Sales!
Every business needs new customers, but don't ever forget that your easiest and most predictable source of new revenue is right under your nose: It comes from the loyal customers who already know your company. Acquiring new customers is expensive (five to ten times the cost of retaining an existing one), and the average spend of a repeat customer is a whopping 67 percent more than a new one. So, sure, put some energy into new business development, but make sure your salespeople know that coming up with creative ways to sell more to your current customers is just as important. Here are proven techniques to do just that.
The document discusses various topics related to real estate investing and passive income, including:
1. The author shares their personal story of growing up in Croatia, moving to the US for opportunity, and getting laid off from their first corporate job, which prompted them to learn about real estate investing.
2. The author realized income alone does not provide financial security, and that owning assets that produce passive income is the key to financial freedom. However, they did not know how to acquire assets without money or credit.
3. The concepts of active income versus passive income are introduced, with most real estate investors earning active income by flipping properties. This keeps them working hard but provides little security. The author advocates generating passive
This document introduces money management and explains why it is important. It notes that the failure rate for traders is around 90% due to a lack of money management. Proper money management allows traders to achieve large profits like $1 million from only $100,000 in trading gains by increasing position sizes over time based on prior gains. The document advocates learning money management principles to improve trading outcomes and achieve larger financial goals.
Robert Kiyosaki had two fathers - a rich dad and a poor dad. Though both fathers were successful in their careers, they had very different views on money and financial literacy. The poor dad emphasized the importance of working hard, getting good grades, and finding a stable job, while the rich dad focused on financial education, learning to generate income through assets, and becoming financially independent. Choosing to learn from his rich dad rather than his poor dad, despite his poor dad's higher education, shaped Kiyosaki's views on money and ultimately led to his financial success.

Introduction
The economy is in tatters; your job is in troubleâif you still have a job. And
you know what? Iâve been saying it for years.
It took a global financial meltdown for most to hear it. But this book isnât about
how or why everything has gone to hell in a handbasket. Itâs about why this bad news
turns out to be very good newsâif you know what to do about it.
I learned about business from two people: my father, who was a very well-
educated, highly placed government employee, and my best friendâs father, who was
an eighth-grade dropout and self-made millionaire. My real father suffered financial
problems his entire life and died with little to show for all the long years of hard
work; my best friendâs dad became one of the richest men in Hawaii.
I thought of these two men as my âpoor dadâ and my ârich dad.â I loved and
admired my real dad very much, and vowed that I would help as many people
as possible avoid suffering the kinds of indignities and failures that plagued
his path.
After I left home, I had all kinds of experiences. I served in the Marines as
a helicopter pilot in Vietnam. I went to work for Xerox, starting out as their
worst salesperson and leaving four years later as their best. After leaving Xerox,
I developed several multimillion-dollar international businesses and was able to
retire at the age of 47 to pursue my passionâto teach others how to build wealth
and live the lives they dream of living, instead of settling for mediocrity and
sullen resignation.
In 1997, I wrote about my experiences in a little book. I must have touched
a chord with at least a few readers: Rich Dad Poor Dad shot to the top of the New
York Times best-seller list and stayed there for more than four years, and has been
described as âthe best-selling business book of all time.â
Since then, Iâve put out a whole series of Rich Dad books, and although each one
has a slightly different focus, they all deliver the exact same message as that first book,
and itâs the message at the heart of this book you now hold in your hands:
Take responsibility for your financesâor get used to taking orders for the rest
of your life. Youâre either a master of money or a slave to it. Your choice.

Introduction
I was incredibly fortunate in my life to have experiences and mentors that
showed me how to build genuine wealth. As a result, I was able to retire completely
from any need to work ever again. Up until that time, I was working to build my
familyâs future. Since then, Iâve been working to help build yours.
For the past ten years, I have devoted my life to finding the most effective and
practical ways to help people transform their lives in the 21st century by learning
how to build genuine wealth. Through our Rich Dad books, my partners and I have
written about many different types and forms of enterprise and investment. But
during these years of intensive research, I have come across one business model in
particular that I believe holds the greatest promise for the largest number of people
to get control of their financial lives, their futures, and their destinies.
One more thing. When I say genuine wealth, Iâm not talking about money alone.
Money is part of it, but itâs not the whole. Building genuine wealth is as much about
the builder as it is about the built.
In this book, Iâm going to show you why you need to build your own business,
and exactly what kind of business. But this isnât just about changing the type of
business youâre working with; itâs also about changing you. I can show you how to
find what you need to grow the perfect business for you, but for your business to
grow, you will have to grow as well.
Welcome to the business of the 21st century.

Chapter 1
The Rules Have Changed
We live in troubled times. The last few years have brought us a steady parade of fear
and panic in the headlines, boardrooms, and kitchen tables across America. Globalization,
outsourcing, downsizing, foreclosures, subprime mortgages and credit default swaps, ponzi
schemes, Wall Street fiascoes, recession ⌠itâs just one piece of bad news after another.
During the first few months of 2009, U.S. company layoffs reached about a quarter-
million per month. As I write this in late 2009, unemployment is at 10.2 percent and
still rising, and underemployment (where your job stays in place but your hours and pay
are drastically cut back) is even worse. The rampant decline in gainful employment is a
ravaging epidemic to which few are immune. From executives and middle managers to
administration employees and blue-collar workers, from bankers to retail clerks, all are at
risk. Even the healthcare industry, until recently considered a job-safe zone, is trimming
away significant chunks of its workforce.
In the fall of 2008, a lot of peopleâs retirement portfolios suddenly lost half their
valueâor more. Real estate crashed. What people thought were their solid, reliable
assets turned out to be about as solid as water vapor. Job security is gone, a thing of
the past. In a 2009 USA Today survey, 60 percent of Americans polled said they see
todayâs economic situation as the biggest crisis in their lifetime.
Of course, you already know all this. But hereâs what you may not know: None
of this is really news. Sure, it took a major economic crisis for people to start waking
up to the fact that their livelihoods were at risk. But your income didnât become at
risk overnightâit was always at risk.
Most of the U.S. population has been living for years on the knife-edge precipice
between solvency and ruin, relying on the next paycheck or two to meet each

monthâs expenses, typically with only a very thin cushion of cash savingsâor more
often, no cushion at all. That paycheck is called âtrading your time for money,â and
during a recession, it is the least reliable source of income there is. Why? Because
when the number of employed people starts dropping, there is less disposable income
in circulation to pay for your time.
I Told You So
Not to be an I-told-you-so, but ⌠I told you so.
Iâve been saying this for years: There is no longer such a thing as a safe and
secure job. Corporate America is a 20th-century dinosaur, trembling on the edge of
extinction, and the only way for you to have a genuinely secure future is for you to
take control of that future.
Hereâs what I wrote in 2001, in a book titled The Business School for People Who
Like Helping People:
In my opinion, the United States and many Western nations have a financial
disaster coming, caused by our educational systemâs failure to adequately provide a
realistic financial education program for students.
That same year, in an interview for Nightingale-Conant, I said:
If you think mutual funds are going to be there for you, if you want to bet your
life on the ups and downs of the stock market, thatâs your retirement youâre betting
on. What happens if the stock market goes up and then comes crashing down again
when youâre 85 years old? You have no control. Iâm not saying mutual funds are bad.
Iâm just saying theyâre not safe and theyâre not smart, and I wouldnât bet my financial
future on them.
Never before in the history of the world have so many people bet their retirement
on the stock market. That is insane. Do you think Social Security is going to be there
to take care of you? Then you also believe in the Easter Bunny.
And in an interview I did in March 2005, I said this:
The No. 1 strength of a paper asset is its liquidityâand that is also its No. 1
weakness. We all know thereâs going to be another market crash and weâre going to be
wiped out again. Why would you do that?
So what just happened? There was another market crash and many people got
wiped out again. Why? Because our habits and mindset caught up with us.
In 1971, the American economy went off the gold standard. This happened
without the approval of Congress, by the way, but the important thing is that it
happened. Why is that significant? Because it cleared the way for us to start printing

The number of people living officially below the poverty
line is rising rapidly. The number of people who are
working beyond the age of 65 is increasing.
more and more money, as much as we liked, without it being tied to any actual,
hard, real value.
This shift away from reality opened the gates for the biggest economic boom in
history. Over the next three and a half decades, the American middle class exploded.
As the dollar devalued and the on-the-books value of real estate and other assets
inflated, ordinary people became millionaires. Suddenly credit was available to
anyone, anytime, anywhere, and credit cards began popping up like mushrooms after
a spring rain. To pay off those credit cards, Americans started using their homes as
ATMs, refinancing and borrowing, borrowing and refinancing.
After all, real estate always keeps going up in value, right?
Wrong. By 2007 we had pumped as much hot air into this financial balloon as
it could takeâand the fantasy came crashing down to earth again. And it wasnât just
Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns that collapsed. Millions lost their 401(k)s, their
pensions, and their jobs.
In the 1950s, when General Motors was the most powerful corporation in
America, the press picked up a statement by GMâs president and turned it into a
slogan that carried for decades: âAs GM goes, so goes the nation.â Well, folks, that
may not be all good news, because where GM went in 2009 was into bankruptcy,
and by that same summer, the state of California was paying its bills with IOUs
instead of cash.
Right now, the percentage of Americans who own their homes is dropping.
Mortgage foreclosures are at an all-time high. The number of middle-class families is
dropping. Savings accounts are smaller, if they exist at all, and family debt is greater.
The number of people living officially below the poverty line is rising rapidly. The
number of people who are working beyond the age of 65 is increasing. The number
of new bankruptcies is going through the roof. And many Americans do not have
enough to retireânot even close.
Has all this bad news got your attention? Sure it has, and youâre not alone.
Americans everywhere have finally stopped rolling over and hitting the Snooze button.
Great! Now youâre awake to whatâs going on, and it isnât pretty. So letâs take a deeper
look and see what it really meansâand what there is you can do about it.
Itâs a New Century
When I was a kid, my parents taught me the same formula for success that you
probably learned: Go to school, study hard, and get good grades so you can get a
secure, high-paying job with benefitsâand your job will take care of you.
15. Chapter 1: The Rules Have Changed
6
But thatâs Industrial-Age thinking, and weâre not in the Industrial Age
anymore. Your job is not going to take care of you. The government will not take
care of you. Nobodyâs going to take care of you. Itâs a new century, and the rules
have changed.
My parents believed in job security, company pensions, Social Security, and
Medicare. These are all worn-out, obsolete ideas left over from an age gone by.
Today job security is a joke, and the very idea of lifetime employment with a
single companyâan ideal so proudly championed by IBM in its heydayâis as
anachronistic as a manual typewriter.
Many thought their 401(k) retirement plans were safe. Hey, they were backed by
blue-chip stocks and mutual funds, what could go wrong? As it turned out, everything
could go wrong. The reason these once-sacred cows no longer give any milk is that
they are all obsolete: pensions, job security, retirement securityâitâs all Industrial-
Age thinking. Weâre in the Information Age now, and we need to use Information-
Age thinking.
Fortunately, people are starting to listen and learn. Itâs a shame that it takes
suffering and hardship to bring the lesson home, but at least the lessons are hitting
home. Every time we experience a major crisisâthe dot-com bust, the economic
aftermath of 9/11, the financial panic of â08, and recession of â09âmore people
realize that the old safety nets just wonât hold up anymore.
The corporate myth is over. If youâve spent years climbing the corporate ladder,
have you ever stopped to notice the view? What view, you ask? The rear end of the
person in front of you. Thatâs what you get to look forward to. If thatâs the way you
want to view the rest of your life, then this book probably isnât for you. But if you
are sick and tired of looking at someone elseâs behind, then read on.
Donât Be Fooled Again
As I write this, unemployment is still on the rise. By the time you read these
words, who knows? The situation may have changed. Donât be fooled. When
employment and real estate values turn around and credit loosens up again, as they
inevitably will, donât be lulled into that same-old sense of false security that got you
and the rest of the world into this mess in the first place.
In the summer of 2008, gas prices were soaring over $4 a gallon. SUV sales sank
like a stone, and suddenly everyone was on the small-car-and-hybrid bandwagon. But
look what happened next. By 2009, gas prices had fallen back down below $2âand
so help me, people started buying SUVs again!
What?! Do we really think fuel prices are going to stay nice and low? That gas
prices are down for good now, and therefore gas-guzzlers make perfect sense to buy?
Can we really be that shortsighted? (Iâm trying to be nice here. The word I was going
to use was âstupid.â)
Unfortunately, the answer is yes. We arenât just fooled once; we let ourselves
be fooled over and over again. We all grew up hearing the fable of the ant and the
16. The Business of the 21st Century
7
grasshopper, but the overwhelming majority of us keep living with the foresight of
a grasshopper anyway.
Donât be distracted by the headlines. There is always some idiotic buzz going
on that tries to pull your attention away from the serious business of building your
life. Itâs just noise. Whether itâs terrorism, recession, or the latest election-cycle
scandals, itâs got nothing to do with what you need to be doing today to build
your future.
During the Great Depression, there were people who made fortunes. And during
the greatest boom times, like the real estate surge of the â80s, there were millions
and millions of people who neglected to take charge of their futureâwho ignored
everything Iâm going to share with you in this bookâand ended up struggling or
broke. Most of them, in fact, are still struggling or broke today.
The economy is not the issue. The issue is you.
Are you angry at the corruption in the corporate world? At Wall Street and the
big banks that let this happen? At the government for not doing enough, or for doing
too much, or for doing too much of the wrong things and not enough of the right
things? Are you angry at yourself for not taking control sooner?
Life is tough. The question is, what are you going to do about it? Moaning and
groaning wonât secure your future. Neither will blaming Wall Street, the big bankers,
corporate America, or the government.
If you want a solid future, you need to create it. You can take charge of your future
only when you take control of your income source. You need your own business.

ROBERT T. KIYOSAKI
Investor, Entrepreneur, Financial Education Advocate, and
Best-Selling Author
Robert Kiyosaki is the author of Rich Dad Poor Dadâ
the No. 1 personal finance book of all timeâa book that
challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people

point of view that the âoldâ adviceâget a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest
for the long term in a diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and mutual fundsâis âbadâ
(both obsolete and flawed) advice, challenges the status quo. His assertion that âyour
house is not an assetâ stirred controversy, but has been proven to be accurate for many
homeowners.

life-to-date sales from 2001â2008. Translated into fifty-one languages and available in
109 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 28 million copies worldwide and has
dominated best-seller lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico, and Europe.
In 2005, Robert was inducted into the Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that
booksellerâs top twenty-five authors. There are currently twenty-seven books in the Rich
Dad series. Among the notable titles is Why We Want You to Be Rich: Two MenâOne
Message, a book written with Robertâs good friend Donald Trump in 2006 that debuted
at No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list. Already, the two friends and business
giants are at work on a second book to be published in 2010.
Robertâs latest books include The Real Book of Real Estate, a compilation of real-
life lessons and advice from veteran real estate investors and advisors to Robert, and
Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money, an innovative and groundbreaking free
interactive online book that has garnered an unbelievable amount of unique visits and
climbed as high as No. 5 on the New York Times how-to tradepaper best-seller list.
Robert has been featured on shows such as Larry King Live and Oprah, and was
recently featured in TIME magazineâs â10 Questionsâ column, a notable Q&A column
that has featured such names as director Spike Lee and actor Michael J. Fox, among
others.
In addition to his books, Robert writes a columnââWhy the Rich Are Getting
Richerââfor Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled âRich Returnsâ for
Entrepreneur magazine.
