If Someone Approached you and told about this book, Becareful it is a SCAM !!
This is a very poorly written book, but first, let me explain how I got to know this book. So I went to target last week to buy myself some groceries and this random guy approached me and gave me a compliment of my Skechers sneakers. we talked for a bit from where I got them and for how much I got and out of nowhere he started talking about how he is trying to retire in two years. He told me about his great mentors who retired in their 30s and how they are mentoring him to do the same thing. I tried to get an idea of what kind of business he is in but he was very vague about it. I, of course, was instantly hooked as I am very passionate about the idea of being an entrepreneur. He asked me if the idea of being an entrepreneur was appealing to me or not. I told him that I am very excited to be an entrepreneur and asked him for his phone number. Funny enough he told me he cannot promise me anything. A few days later, he called me to set up an appointment to check if I had the "Right Mindset" to introduce me to his mentors. I meet with the guy, and he asked me some questions and what was sad is the guy seemed genuinely sincere and honest. We talked for a while and I insisted on understanding what the business is about. he told me it is about trying to build a marketing network to sell products. I asked him if it was a pyramid scam! The guy freaked out!!! He started telling me how network marketing is different from pyramid marketing. Ironically, he started telling me if I were to work with him and his mentors I have to have the highest standards of integrity. He gave me this book and told me to read it before our next appointment. I told him that I will buy the book on my own from Amazon, but he insisted not buy the book from Amazon, because as you might guess if I bought the book from Amazon I would have read the reviews here. I started reading the book and I cannot express how poorly written this book is. The book is 120 pages but the whole content can be summarized in less than 3 pages. I have never read any of Kiyosaki's books but I feel hesitant to do so after reading this one. I reached page 80 and I am surprised with how awful this book is so I decided to read the reviews here on Amazon, and I found so many people who have been dragged into this exactly the same way I was. I am from Saudi Arabia and an exchange student here studying in the United States. These pyramid scams are illegal in our country and people can face up to 3 years of jail for it. I would have called the police if this happened to me at home. in the end, I would like to say to anyone considering to join a network marketing business is please do your research!! Peace !
