RICH DAD POOR DAD FOR TEENS- THE SECRETS ABOUT MONEY-THAT YOU DON'T LEARN IN SCHOOL!", BY Robert Kiyosaki

Mr. Kiyosaki did drop a list of ways in which you could start earning money but some business ideas were things you could do in America and not necessarily in Jamaica. However, everywhere does have their advantages and disadvantages. So OfCourse things can be done on the island that is unique to it. What is that? You would have to look around your environment and seek problems people are dying to be resolved and in return will gracefully empty their pockets for you.

Here’s a small piece of his long list:

• Be a tutor.

• Teach people of all ages how to use the computer.

• Create websites.

• read to an older neighbor.

• wash cars

• Run errands. Deliver packages.

• Be a personal assistant: Type letters, do research.

And the list goes on. You could buy businesses as well, whether it be online or a tangible business around the corner. You may never know what you can do until you get the right information and try.

It was also recommended to work at a location where you can learn from in order to implement what you have learnt into a future business venture if you so desire. At the same time, it doesn’t have to be for the purpose of starting a business if that’s not your goal but the profession you would like to go into. For example, if you want to become a pharmacist attempt to get a position at a pharmacy and shadow a pharmacist. REMEMBEER: WORK TO LEARN AND NOT TO EARN!!!

Some lines that stood out to me:

- “I guarantee that you- yes, you- can offer a skill or service that people want and need and are willing to pay for.”

- “When you’re in business for yourself, you’re in the driver’s seat.”

- “When thinking about where you’d like to work, think about your goals first.”

- “I didn’t love my first job stocking shelves, but I did it because I believed I would learn something from rich dad. So, I’ll say it again: Work to learn, not to earn!”

- “But it wasn’t the money I earned that was going to put me through school. It was the lessons I learned earning the money that actually did it.”

- “You can have anything you want as long as you’re willing to exchange something of value for what you want.”

- “Working to earn means you’re giving a certain amount of your time and usually getting back an amount of money that is equal to (or less than) what you feel your time is worth. Working to learn means that you’re usually getting back something much greater than the time you’re giving up- in addition to the cash! So, which sounds better to you?”

- “Your mentor is like a one-on-one coach, someone you can turn to when you have questions.”

- “No one ever said success was easy to come by alone.”

Was a quick little chapter so off I go unto the next one.
