My thoughts on Robert Kiyosaki

Lets talk about Robert Kiyosaki, and why you’re likely seeing so many of his Rich Dad Poor Dad videos showing up lately - Enjoy! Add me on Instagram: GPStephan

My ENTIRE Camera and Recording Equipment:

Rich Dad Poor Dad was an absolutely transformative book when I read it in my freshman year of high school, if even for the only purpose of distinguishing an asset from a liability. The fact that he was able to articulate such a complex topic in a way that children and young adults would be able to comprehend and internalize, was VERY impressive - and for that, I’m grateful.

And when he says our school system has failed our entire generation - I think he’s RIGHT! Not only is the cost of education way too expensive, but schools don’t teach financial education, they don’t teach you how to save on your taxes, they don’t teach you to think objectively and find your own answers…if anything, I believe schools are too structured, to a fault.

By keeping your focus within such a narrow confine, and by guiding you throughout the memorization of useless test answers, they teach you to follow someone else’s instruction rather than make your own independent decisions. So it’s no wonder why we have people who can’t operate without being told what to do, when to do it, and how to get it done. Hence, they train people to become “employees.”

But despite that, for anyone who’s suddenly started seeing his videos come out from the YouTube algorithm - it seems, to me, like a push towards his book promotion.

Which, I’ll admit - is an effective way to market, so I can’t blame him for doing what works. But overall, from all of this, my thoughts on Robert Kiyosaki haven’t changed…I think he’s got some GREAT general principles and life advice that’s perfect for someone who just needs a kick in the pants to change their mindset, and get them THINKING about entrepreneurship. But beyond the simple basics…I just don’t see it. I’d like to see some more practical, step by step, actionable advice rather than vaguely broad concepts - and I suppose that’s where the disconnect stems from.

Robert Kiyosak is so good at marketing his book, that he even snuck onto THIS channel! He's everywhere!

You are using Robert Kiyosaki to market yourself. Not a bad job.

Robert is a motivational speaker, thats it. U can watch hours and hours of his videos and still get the same information u would get in 5minutes. He has some interesting points about mindset and assets but thats it, the other stuff is: evil rich people vs you as a slave and conspiracy is everywhere. His videos are meant to sell his books and courses and get you addicted watching him, like every other motivation coach.

The easiest way yo get rich is to write books and create videos on 'how to get rich' !

I patiently listened to hours of Kiyosaki's videos. I was trying to get to the meat of what he's suggesting. It's amazing how many hours he can comment on "dummies" and "things THEY don't want you to know" etc.
So for anyone interested, here's the very short version of it all:
Buy real estate. Start small, then buy bigger and bigger places (up to apartment buildings and such). Rent them out. Essentially be a property manager. Collect rent, make repairs, evict people, the whole deal.
Paraphrasing him.. "if you're not willing to do the work of a property manager, just put your money in the stock market."

There you go. Probably doesn't have the impact without the 7 hour setup. Just pretend you're super hyped and motivated and save yourself the time.

he is popping up because he started hiring people with seo and internet marketing skills. cause as he says in his books if you cant do it hire someone smarter that can.

Robert did open my eyes to financial literacy. Although he preys on people's fear and make them pay for his high priced courses. Today I was watching his webinar and his promotional content lasted over 20mins. I was bored to death.

You work for 40yrs to have $1M in your
retirement, meanwhile some people are putting just $10K in a meme coin from just few months ago and now they are multimillionaires....

[Psyberify]

Robert Kiyosaki got me started on the path to financial literacy. He’s a gateway drug to generational wealth building.

I admire Graham's ability to disect information and weed out the garbage from the facts and present it to his viewers. Keep it up your doing your community a great service.

[realWorsin]

In all fairness Graham, you occasionally ride that "clickbait" line yourself but we still love you.

[alanmitic]

I like how a Robert kiyosaki advert got displayed by YouTube during watching your video :-D

[JB]

I read Rich dad poor dad. Afterwards I quit my depressing 8-5 job and now I’m heading down a career path I’m happy with. Can’t thank Robert enough for writing this book.

[wcbobber]

"What does this book say? Best selling Author" Robert Kiyosaki getting others to sell for him I love it.

[myuniversalgrowth]

Exactly, you are great at that. Researching. Reading details. And then elaborating what you learned to make a video for us ✌🏽🌋 appreciate you man 😁

[tomwilkinson]

When he says poor... he’s more talking about people’s mind set

[JorgeSanchez-kreb]

Who else got a Robert Kiyosaki ad in the middle of this? 😂

[patriot]

I am so glad you’re exposing some of these guys and I really appreciated your step by step breakdown of how you did it yourself and all the other investment videos- I actually am trying a combination of your real estate beginnings and Dave Ramsey’s baby steps which has been very rewarding so far

[jbandzpays]

Robert Kiyosaki has changed my mindset, and i haven’t even read the book. 10 Years from now I can see how far that advice has served me.
