My Personal Experience!
Let me share with you a secret!. See whether you get the gist of where I am going! I work a 10 hour 5-day job. I had bad money management, spend most of my time with friends, hanging out, watching movies and have fun. One typical day, my apartment mate, who was in direct selling said to me, “ If I find you in 5 years time, I will still see you here, coming back late at night after a hard day’s work doing the same thing”. That struck me! I took the remark like a sign and a challenge which got me searching. Then I stumbled upon a similar book like Think and Grow Rich, which changed my life.
It was Roberk Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad first book followed by Cash Flow Quadarant, I said to myself, great concepts. But I can’t help thinking that he is genuinely trying to convince his readers something solid! I knew what it was after reading the book, but I wanted to see what my fellow colleagues and friends thought of it. Most of their answers were typical, along the line of, “ Good investments concepts and strategies but mainly property related and you have to be careful because his strategies may not be feasible, depending on countries ”. To me however, If Robert Kiyosaki would summarize everything he wanted to say to people who buy his first and second book in a paragraph, it would be the following:
“ You do not know how money really works! You do not know to control your cash flow! You are far away from the investment game! But what you can do this very second is to leverage by finding your own Rich Dad or affiliate yourselves with successful people who might know the whereabouts of a Rich Dad. "You are who you mix with!”
This is GOLD, if you capture it! A black hole if you cough it out and close this website!
I captured it! To cut the story short, I hunted around for opportunities and seminars, paid a course on wealth, joined an investor club, mixed with successful people who then lead me to other successful people and organizations and have better cash flow management! I am proud and happy to say that, if in my past, I mixed around with people who are in the rat race and know only how to survive and spend, I now also mix around with people who are like minded or out of the rat race including millionaires. Talk about Results!!!

“ If we each exchange a dollar, all we get at the end of the day is a dollar, but if we exchange ideas, my oh my, we might earn ourselves a million dollars!” That’s POWER to you!
Millionaire's are difficult to understand!!
I've just had an exciting conversation with a multimillionaire a few days ago. AMAZING! I was surprised that even though he earns about RM50,000 every month, he doesn't own a mansion or drive fancy cars. To him, he enjoys the luxury of walking around in comfortable attire, wearing just T-Shirts and jeans. To him, leaving each day with lots of free time is enough luxury for him. Don't get me wrong. He owns a few shop lots, numerous properties and a large orchard overseas. He travels frequently with his family, just for vacation. In his opinion, there are a lot of people out there claiming to be millionaires and rich. To him, if your net-worth is not a million or more, then your not a millionaire. Many out there have lots of cash but lots of liabilities as well.One thing he said puzzled me. He said that being rich from an investor' s point of view is like playing a game. It may be difficult to understand certain concepts at first, but when you get the feel of things, specifically the first pipeline of cash, the rest is easy. He assured me, as long as I understand how to play this game, everything else would be asy.
