Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message by Robert T. Kiyosaki & Donald J. Trump
The world is facing many challenges and one of them is financial literacy. Unfortunately when it comes to their financial future most people still expect their government, employers or families to take care of them. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki, both successful businessmen and natural teachers, believe that you cannot solve money problems with money. You can only solve money problems with financial education.
With this new book, the age-old saying of: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime." is explored as Trump and Kiyosaki teach you what they believe you need to know to be rich.
They each could have written a book on the subject, but they chose instead to write a book together because of their shared passion for education and their desire to bring emphasis to the importance of strong financial skills and understanding.
Key Points Covered in this Book.
Shared Concerns: The Shrinking Middle Class ... and the opportunity to choose to be among the rich instead of the poor
The Entitlement Mentality: This prevalent attitude is weakening and will have repercussions globally
Defining Moments: How life is filled with lessons and how best to learn to see them and apply them to your financial well-being and your life
Financial literacy is the road to mastery over your finances, your future and your life... and it begins with education
Money alone won't solve the problems we face. In referencing the need to "teach people to fish" and preparing them to create solutions to the challenges we face as a nation, versus simply giving people fish and keeping them dependant upon others for their sustenance - Donald and Robert focus on why and how people can take action in their lives and contribute to solutions as opposed to magnifying the problems.
Why is this Book different?
Two men, one message... two men with different backgrounds, different experiences and different perspectives who are both passionate about education
Both authors are successful financially, and both are bestselling authors who could easily have written separate books. They chose to join forces to offer two voices on a subject that they believe is at the heart of the future of our world
As leaders and teachers, the authors' collective knowledge and experience is a significant force when focused upon empowering others to take action and responsibility for their financial well-being - and choosing to be rich.
