Kiyosaki's Cashflow Quadrant.  This is the book that changed my life.
I had been recently downsized from a job I'd held for years and I was looking to set up either a consulting practice or purchase a franchise storefront business.  Kiyosaki's Quadrant showed me that both choices were wrong... and so was having had a job all those years!
Man, if only he had written this (and I had read it) back when I was 18-25!  Or even 13!!  Being an employee won't get you to wealth, and the other options I was considering were no more than buying myself a job!  Self-Employment is the same as Employment if you are continuing to trade time for money.  It is the poorest way to make a living!
I needed a "B" Quadrant business.  A business system that makes money even when I'm not there.  In fact, by his definition, a business owner should be able to walk away for six months and return to a larger business.
Am I there?  Not yet.  But there is a date in the future - right there on my business plan - where I will not have to work on my business. 
Thank you Robert Kiyosaki!

    Thank you for the great feedback on my 
Have A Blast! @ Whizzo.ca post. That led me to a few other blog entries and especially to the one I have linked to here.
I want to direct you to a fantastic blog entry by Tang Chea Hian. These are detailed, chapter-by-chapter notes on the Think And Grow Rich book. I recommend you print this out immediately and stick a copy in your back pocket. Pull it out whenever you have a chance and remind yourself of Hill's words.
        
    
   
  
  
  
  
  
 
  
    
  
  
  
  
  
     
    
    
    
     
    Have A Blast!Have you read Napoleon Hill's book "
Think And Grow Rich"?  If not, click on that link and buy yourself a copy, it will be the best investment of your life!  He talks about the power of the Mastermind - a group of people focusing their energies on the same thing.  The group can accomplish much more together than they could have done individually.
I have openings right now for 4 entrepreneurs in my Mastermind.  Business is exploding as never before and the time for expansion is right.  I am not looking for investors, I am not looking for employees.  I need people focused on profitability.  Those that will do today what other people won't so that tomorrow they can have what other people can't.
Here is a 
presentation I prepared to qualify those interested in being a part of my Mastermind.  Read it.  If you have the guts, I have the system.  Call or write me.  Send me your resume or tell me your dream.  After all, if the dream is big enough the facts don't matter!
