Motivation about money that changes people’s lives from Robert Kiyosaki. Robert Kiyosaki speech
Do rich people tell you, «Don’t tell them that, Robert!»
«Yes, yes, yes. Don’t tell people what you know. Let them stay poor.» said Robert Kiyosaki, bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad.
“The moment I pay you, you think like a worker. The moment you get paid, your brain shuts down. It is a trap. Entrepreneurs work for free.
As long as you desire success, you will think about how to achieve it. The school system is designed to teach you how to be an employee, a doctor or a lawyer — an expert in your field, but it will not teach you how to manage money wisely.
Poor people will always be among us. Because it starts here, in the head. It is in their words, and their words become reality. When they say «I can’t afford it» or «I can’t do it» at that moment they give up. They become what they say. My poor Dad used to say to me, «Who do you think I am? Do you think I print money?» or «I can’t afford it.» And my rich dad would say, «That’s why he’s poor.»
Poor people say, «I can’t afford it, I can’t do it, I don’t have time for it.» They run away from themselves. It’s a vicious circle. It’s very easy to say «I can’t do it» or «I’m too tired» or «I can’t go to the gym». But the moment you could go, you say, «No, I can’t.» And the truth is that you are just too lazy to go to the gym.
And what did my rich dad say instead of «I can’t afford it?» — «How can I allow this?», «How can I do this?». A question opens your mind, and a statement closes it.
People who are sitting at home right now, who are experiencing financial difficulties, who are worried about money, or are unhappy about something. Maybe they earn a lot of money, but in fact they are not happy with what they do.
Until you change your mindset, money won’t help you, right? Right. If you have a poor mindset, you will always be financially poor. If you don’t want to learn this, then I can’t help you. I’ve also been unlucky in my life. I suffered financial ruins, I was betrayed more than once by my partners. But in the end, everything is fine, and I quickly outgrew it all. I have a different mindset! People who are afraid to make mistakes never grow up. They have a wrong perception of the world. Perception is both good and bad, it’s both right and wrong decisions, it’s ups and downs. And most people only want to do the right thing, they don’t want to make mistakes. And the reason poor people stay poor is because they didn’t make mistakes. They live very carefully. This means that they do not learn anything.
In order to be rich, you need to create something, give something to people. Einstein said: «Imagination is stronger than knowledge. In knowledge you are limited, but in imagination you are not.»
And what most people lack is financial literacy, in such matters as accounting for expenses and income, loans, investments and savings. Everyone should know these things, but alas, this is not taught in schools.
The main thing I advise people is you need to find a real teacher.
I am often asked «Why don’t I give people money?». Give a fish to a hungry man and he will be hungry again in an hour. So it is better to teach him to fish.
One of the great ways to get rich is to play Monopoly in real life. And stop being cool in computer games, be cool in the real world, in the game called life!
People are always afraid to fail, but it is through our failures that we succeed. If you look at Thomas Edison, he failed thousands of times before he succeeded and invented the light bulb.
If you want to be a millionaire, learn from someone who has already made a million! And it doesn’t matter where you are from and in what family you were born!
Your success depends on the strength of your desire, and on the scale of your dreams.
And remember. Great success means great experience, and great experience means thousands of mistakes along the way.”
