theres 2 types of people, those that try and those that dont and from reading your post above it seems you fall in the later.

I think the fact that I own my own business and make money from rebills means I'm developing passive income, so I'm "trying" and I dont need to pay $200 for audio tapes to hear Kiyosaki tell me:
- ?Don?t work for money. Make money work for you?
- "Work smart, not hard"
- "The early bird gets the worm. Be the early bird"
What an inspiration. He's a genius!
Did you read the link I posted? It confirms what I said about Kiyosaki's ability to talk and talk and have no point:
Since I posted this analysis, a number of Kiyosaki ?cult members? have contacted me to denounce me for ?missing the point? of Kiyosaki?s book. ?OK,? I responded, ?Please tell me the point.? The odd thing is that
each person has a different version of what the point of Kiyosaki?s book is?and it is never something I recall reading in the book. In fact, if a book has a point, multiple readers ought to come up with the same answer when asked what that point is. If they come up with different answers, it is either because the author was incompetent at communicating his point, or because the book has no point, or because the author deliberately obfuscated the point.
From now on, if you think I missed the point, don?t paraphrase Kiyosaki?s point to me. Give me an exact quote and the page number in Rich Dad, Poor Dad where it appears. I suspect everyone who is tempted to send me the point of Rich Dad will be unable to find in the book any of the wonderful advice they imagined was in there.
The only time different people look at the same thing and come up with different answers as to what it is they are looking at is when the thing they are looking at is amorphous, like a cloud or a Rorschach inkblot?or a politician. Politicians try to be all things to all people. That requires them to say nothing (amorphousness), but to sound like they are saying something (?the point?). They toss in a little spin to try to get all those people with those different views to see in the politician things that they like. Kiyosaki slogans like are amorphous in their actual meaning, but have the effect of ?spinning? the reader into thinking he has just gotten good advice.
