Rich Dad Poor Dad Summary – A Foolproof System for Wealth

November 9, 2020 By Cade Hildreth Leave a Comment

This is a summary of the best selling personal finance book of all time: Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Told as a true story from a first person narrative, Rich Dad Poor Dad was written by best-selling author, Robert Kiyosaki. The book is controversial, because it doesn’t advise you to follow the standard dogma of penny pinching or relying on a 401K.

The ten big ideas that Robert Kiyosaki presents in the epic book Rich Dad Poor Dad are described below.

Lesson 1: Rich People Acquire Assets (Real Assets)

An asset is anything of value or a resource of value that can be converted into cash. Put simply, an asset is anything that puts money into your pockets.

Robert Kiyosaki, “The rich people invest in real assets and not liabilities.”

Unfortunately, the poor and middle-class people tend to spend their money on cars and houses to live in, which are examples of liabilities. Cars and residences will cost you money, most notably depreciation for cars and maintenance fees and taxes for houses.

Lesson 2:  The Lack of Money Comes from a Lack of Knowledge

The book teaches that the lack of money comes from a lack of knowledge.

Without the proper financial education, you will spend your whole life trading time for money, until your time (your life) runs out.

Lesson 3: Focus on Financial Education

The sad reality is that we learn nothing about money-making in school.

Instead, teachers advise us to get good grades, go to Ivy-league schools, get high-paying jobs, etc. They don’t teach us how to become a millionaire, nor do they teach us how to thrive outside the school walls.

“The bitter truth is —one cannot get rich by formal education,” says Robert.

Lesson 4: The Single Most Powerful Assets We Have is Our Mind

“If our minds are trained well, it can create enormous wealth,” says Robert Kiyosaki.

No wrestler, football player, or rugby player would go into an arena without proper practice. The same principle applies to money-making.

To get rich, you need to feed your mind with financial knowledge and experiences, and thereby, increase your financial IQ.

Lesson 5: Learn to Overcome Obstacles

A big lesson from Rich Dad Poor Dad is that we should learn to overcome obstacles.

“The primary difference between a rich person and a poor person is how they manage fear,” says Robert.

For most people, the reason they don’t win financially is that the fear of losing money is far greater than the joy of being rich.

Lesson 6: Four Skills That Financial Intelligence Demands

According to Robert, you need to acquire skills – and get advisers – in four key areas to progress on your journey towards financial freedom.

  1. The Law: The law is the awareness of state, federal, and corporate regulations.
  2. Investing: Investing is the allocation of money in the expectation of a future benefit.
  3. Understanding Markets: Understanding markets simply means understanding the science of supply and demand.
  4. Accounting: Accounting is the ability to read numbers. It is a very important skill to have if you want to build your business/investments.

Lesson 7: Work To Learn, Don’t Work To Earn

As Robert explains, you should work to learn, not just work to earn. Unfortunately, all too many people are focused on what they want to be paid, when they should be focused on what they could learn – and how it could transform their life.

Alibaba’s Jack Ma also emphasizes this particular point. Your early jobs should help you build financial skill-sets.

Skill-stacking, which is the acquisition of different skill sets over time, is an essential component to wealth building.

Lesson 8: Learn from successful people around you

Simply put, you need to surround yourself with winners. Talk to people who have gone ahead of you. Learn from their past mistakes, decisions, and experience.

As Jim Rohn is famous for saying, “You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”

You need a mentor. Approach someone you want to learn from and offer them something of value in exchange for their guidance, such as labor, a unique skill-set you possess, or other perk.

Then, be teachable.

Lesson 9:  The Concept of Cash Flow

Cash flow is defined as the net amount of cash and cash-equivalents being transferred into and out of a business.

In finance, the term is used to describe the amount of cash (currency) that is generated or consumed in a given time period.

Excess cash flow generated by your assets should be invested again into other assets. This is important for facilitating the wealth creation cycle.

Lesson 10: Dream Big

According to Robert, you should dream big, have a clear game plan in your mind. Always seek answers to important questions such as, “Why do you want to earn more passive income?”

That will make you think more about where you are now and what you want to achieve.

As Robert Kiyosaki writes, “Money will be anything you want it to be.”

By that he means, if you think money is hard to get, it will be. If you think money is abundantly available, it will be.

Rich Dad Poor Dad Summary and Takeaways

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a controversial book, because it destroys conventional thinking and replaces it with financial literacy.

Clearly, most folks need this, because 40% of Americans don’t have $400 in the bank for emergencies. There’s a reason it has sold 32 million copies in 40 languages since it was first published in 1997.

If you’re committed to financial expansion instead of comfort and security, then Rich Dad Poor Dad will dramatically change your life.

What are 3 keys that can fuel your fitness success What are 3 keys that can fuel your fitness success? 💪🏽🔥🤔1. Having the right “data”:If you’re working toward a fitness goal, you’ll hugely benefit from having programming that you follow each time you hit the gym.Do what’s on the page and don’t overthink (or modify) it!2. Pre/During/Post Workout Nutrition:I consume quickly digestible carbs (the amount varies by workout intensity) and rapidly digestible whey protein (25g) during and immediately after my workout.This keeps you from “bonking” mid-workout and quickly refuels your muscles for the next training cycle.3. Workout partner: I train 4X/week with my wife.She almost never misses a workout, so by extension, neither do I. Before I was married, I trained with friends and teammates too.If at all possible, get a training partner to keep yourself accountable. Choose someone who will be encouraging and celebrate your gains. 🥳This is a huge tip, so take advantage of it!(Of course, it’s also awesome to train simply for the pleasure of moving your body, in which case, be free, be spontaneous and have fun!)Finally, I’ve been training for 10+ years, so if you’re just getting started, enjoy the progress and be patient with yourself.Have you hit a workout yet today? Let me know below... ⬇️💪🏽💥

When you are strength training, the day becomes br When you are strength training, the day becomes broken up in two periods of time –REST PERIODS (the times when you’re not training) and PERI-WORKOUT PERIODS (pre/during/post workout).Those are the two parts of the day that exist. So, how do these two intervals differ from a nutritional context?Simple. During the REST periods, your body can be properly fueled by high-quality, wholesome, nutrient-dense foods. Meaning, lean proteins, healthy fats, heaps of veggies and a few fruits, and lots of water (likely more than you’re drinking now).However, for the PERI-WORKOUT period, everything changes:....our physiology changes....our biochemistry changes....our signaling pathways change (including which receptors are open on our muscle cells).... even our gene expression changes (meaning, what proteins your body’s DNA decides to create and fold into 3D structures)!So, we need to treat this period of time differently.For this peri-workout period, what you care about is what you can QUICKLY shuttle into your body for a high-performance power boost, allowing you to put more weight overhead than you did yesterday.So, what SHOULD you consume in the peri-workout period? The answer is to...Sip carbs during your workout, and immediately afterward, consume carbs along with whey protein--ideally WHEY ISOLATE OR WHEY HYDROLYSATE.These two types of whey protein are the most rapidly digested, with whey hydrolysate being partially pre-digested by enzymes to allow for particularly fast absorption.Speaking of which, do you know the four main types of protein shakes or would you like me to talk about that next?
