Starbucks Update

Life is good once again at my favorite Starbucks. We have new trees planted, very green, Starbucks-and we have new umbrellas!! Yeah.. Libby Havice was kind enough to explain that Starbucks only uses one supplier to make their umbrellas and they had been back ordered forever! Thanks for your time and efforts Libby.
Every successful business venture has great employees that really enjoy what they do and go that extra mile to make you fell like a guest. No one does that better than the Starbucks crew at the Greenwood Village Starbucks-Thanks for all that you do!

Robert Kiyosaki

Robert Kiyosaki’s business ideas were formed as a result of a number of business failures and one success.  Robert Kiyosaki’s real success came with a series of books based on the rich dad and poor dad characters.  Robert Kiyosaki, co-author of ‘Why We Want You to Be Rich’ gives you advice and tips on how to manage your finances to make your money work for you.

Kiyosaki

Kiyosaki is best known for his Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of motivational books and other material.  Kiyosaki also proclaims financial leverage to be critically important in becoming rich.  Kiyosaki stresses what he calls "financial education" as a means to obtaining wealth.  Kiyosaki speaks often of what he calls "The Cashflow Quadrant," a conceptual tool that aims to describe how all the money in the world is earned.  Kiyosaki stresses the value of games, particularly Monopoly, as tools for learning basic financial strategies such as "trade four green houses for one red hotel".  Kiyosaki’s claim is given some credence by the founder of mutual fund powerhouse Vanguard, John C.

Money

Money – Robert Kiyosaki, author of the successful Rich Dad, Poor Dad series of personal finance books, offers his insights to Yahoo Finance in a bi-weekly blog.  [2] Kiyosaki became active in a personal growth seminar, called "Money & You", which was started by Marshall Thurber.  Kiyosaki speaks often of what he calls "The Cashflow Quadrant," a conceptual tool that aims to describe how all the money in the world is earned.  "Cashflow 101" is a board game designed by Kiyosaki, which aims to teach the players concepts of investing and making money, it costs $195.

Financial

The book Rich Kid Smart Kid was published in 2001, with the intent to help parents teach their children financial concepts.  Kiyosaki stresses what he calls "financial education" as a means to obtaining wealth.  And according to Kiyosaki, in order to obtain financial freedom, one must be either a business owner or an investor, generating passive income.  Rich Kid, Smart Kid is a retelling of Kiyosaki’s views, condensed and clarified to try and help parents better understand and teach their children key financial concepts.

Education

His Rich Dad Poor Dad series of books have sold millions of copies worldwide and through his education programs he is reaching thousands of students with his financial messages.  CASHFLOW 101 is the only educational tool/game I’ve found that REALLY demonstrates the effect and interconnections that a single decision can and will have on your balance sheet and income statement.  In 1985, Kiyosaki founded an international education company that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students worldwide.  "Robert Kiyosaki’s work in education is powerful, profound, and life-changing.

Financially

It encourages individuals to become financially literate to combat the upcoming problems facing America, such as the shrinking middle class and the entitlement mentality.  Critics of Kiyosaki’s work have thought some of his advice to be financially poor or even dangerous.  Most people struggle financially because they do not know the difference between an asset and a liability.  The main reason people struggle financially is bad decisions about getting an education, bad luck, too much spending, too little savings and investing, too much reliance on organizations for their livelihood, and not enough reliance on themselves.

Secrets

Robert Kyosaki is not a rich man who had decided to share his secrets, he is a rich man who has been able to spin vague and dangerous advice into bestselling books.  Rich Dad Secrets to Money, Business, and Investing offers the sessions about money that Robert Kiyosaki, a self-made millionaire, learned from his rich dad … a dad that gave him not money, but only his secrets to acquiring great wealth.  In this groundbreaking program, done exclusively for Nightingale-Conant, you’ll learn these priceless secrets.  You can learn from him the secrets of the rich.  Now you can order the Advanced version of CASHFLOW 101, CASHFLOW 202, which will teach you all those secrets and specific techniques that professional investors use to make money in markets that are volatile and even falling.  Robert offers classes lasting between one hour to three days, in order to teach to people about the secrets of the rich people.  By: Wisdom of Rich DadSecret of the Riches video2007-05-20 08:06:00This is a 20 min video of Robert Kiyosaki explaining about the secrets of the richesA classic video which you don’t want to miss.

Power

Kiyosaki’s claim is given some credence by the founder of mutual fund powerhouse Vanguard, John C.  On page 14 he approvingly quotes “rich dad” as saying, “Money is power.  He wanted me to recognize his power and desire to have that power for myself one day.  It is the knowledge of the power of the legal structure of the corporation that really gives the rich a vast advantage over the poor and middle class.  CASHFLOW 101 is so powerful because it reflects your true behavior and allows you to take risks in a safe environment.

Wisdom

"Robert Kiyosaki" "Why the Rich Get Richer" Create a news alertRobert KiyosakiWhy the Rich Get RicherRobert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom.  In Rich Dad’s world, the Rat Race is that vicious cycle of living paycheck to paycheck… and the conventional wisdom that getting a good education, good grades and a safe, secure job (with “good benefits”) will lead  to “the good life.  Thanx again, and good luck with your new Real Estate book and I hope time permits you to share some of your wisdom with me.  The eighth book in the Rich Dad series reveals the financial wisdom of the rich, which is neither taught in schools nor discussed in the popular financial press.  Robert Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom.

CashFlow - Investing 101

Why review a game in a tax and business newsletter? Because this game is designed to help develop business and investment skills. The American educational system is designed to develop good employees, not entrepreneurs or investors. Many people view a college education as a type of trade school. They believe getting a college education should result in getting a good job. When we enter the workforce, the tendency is to fall into "the rat race", spending about what we make and never becoming financially independent.

In Rich Dad, Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki explained how this became clear to him at a young age. His actual "Poor Dad" father was a highly-ranked school administrator, who constantly argued with his wife over money matters. A friend’s "Rich Dad" father took Robert under his wing and showed him how he acquired wealth.

How can you show how investment principles work in a way that makes them clear in a fun way? A game! That is how Robert Kiyosaki came to develop the CashFlow game. I received a CashFlow game from my wife, Janet, for Christmas and played a round with my adult children, Dawn and James, on New Years day. Although the instructions say to plan on spending about three hours to play the game, it took us six hours this first time.

The game is played in two parts. In the first part, "the rat race", your objective is to "get out of the rat race" by building your passive income to be greater than your monthly expenses. You draw a career card that gives you your beginning salary and monthly expenses. Those with a higher salary also have higher monthly expenses. Movement is determined by rolling dice. You get opportunities to make investments that can eventually generate the cash flow required to get out of the rat race. You can also have the "misfortune" of buying expensive "toys" or having children, requiring monthly payments that make it harder to exit the rat race. Monthly expenses can be reduced by paying off debts. The consequences of chance and choices are highlighted in the game. Progress is tracked on personal balance sheets and income statements.

In the second part, "the fast track", the objective is to win the game by being the first person to buy your "dream" or to accumulate $50,000 in monthly cash flow from businesses purchased on the Fast Track. (You have to finish the game somehow!)

This is an expensive game, but I believe the investment can be justified if it helps provide the mindset required for helping your family and yourself truly get out of the rat race. According to Kiyosaki, playing the game monthly should help you do just that. To get one, visit www.richerdads.com.
