Quotations by Robert T. Kiyosaki

Most real estate is not a good investment. A great exercise, regardless if you have money, is to look at a number of properties and analyze their intrinsic value. Use creative financing, creative improvements, or creative ways to increase the value of the property. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Intrapersonal intelligence is the ability to control your emotions and get the job done, even if the job is life-threatening. It is a person's intrapersonal intelligence that ultimately determines if they are a success or failure in life, love, health, and money. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

As entrepreneurs we raise capital from three groups of people. They are your customers, investors, and employees. If you have employees, your job is to get them to produce and make at least ten times more money than you pay them. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Being a rich entrepreneur is not easy. The world is filled with entrepreneurs who are average. The same is true with real estate. The world is filled with real estate investors who do not make much money. If people want to become rich, they need to find an environment that allows them to develop and apply their genius. This is not easy, but it can be done if you are dedicated and have the drive to win. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

I recommend that anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur join a network marketing company for some of the best real-world, street-smart business training. I know a number of people who spent five years with a network marketing business before finally breaking through their doubts and fears. Once they did that, the money poured in. For people who want to be entrepreneurs, taking a job with a small company can also be a great learning environment. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Entrepreneurs have two characteristics...ignorance and courage. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Commodities such as gold, oil, silver, and land provided real wealth in the Industrial Age. But in the Information Age, these commodities themselves do not make you rich. Rather, it is the information you have about those commodities. [2008] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

There are three parts to putting a business deal together. One is finding the right people. Two is finding the right opportunity. And three is finding the money. The most important job of an entrepreneur is go grab one piece and then begin to put the other two pieces together. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Employees are often trained to be specialists. Entrepreneurs need to be generalists. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

The most important job of an entrepreneur is to design the business before there is a business. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

We always recommend keeping your daytime job while starting a part-time business. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

You simply have to find a way to leverage your expertise and creativity--create systems that let others (your employees or coventurers) apply your expertise and creativity. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

An employee's job is to follow the rules, do as they are told; do their job the right way. If employees want to do things their own way or they do not follow the rules, or make too many mistakes, they are fired because they are not doing the job they were hired to do. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Every time you make a mistake, stop, and take the opportunity to learn something new, something you obviously need to learn. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

There are actually two primary aspects to the fear of making a mistake--fear of the consequences of a mistake and fear of looking bad (perception). [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Being able to sell is the basic skill of all entrepreneurs. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

You bring someone that has the skills that you lack on to your team. That person can be an equity participant in (part owner of) your business, an employee, or an advisor. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

You may agree to pay an advisor more than he or she asks for, if he or she agrees to wait to be paid until the sales can support the payment. You may add the talent through an advisory board instead of bringing the person on full-time. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

Try to find partners who are not "financially needy." [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

There are four different types of business schools: 1. The Traditional Business Schools. 2. The Family Business School. 3. The Corporate Business School. 4. The Business School of the Streets. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
