Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon L. Lechter knew merely
exposing the business steps some took that brought success their way just
cannot be enough. Should you and I be ready to make similar investment
decisions, we must be guided accordingly, the authors believe. This persuasion
runs through their book – Rich Dad’s
Guide To Investing.
Their approach does not go beyond the scope of a guide - a
guide remains a guide, it promises no guarantees. After all, investing makes
different meanings to different people.
Standing on the sure ground of experience, the authors are
aware that only a very few people control the entire wealth of the world in
terms of their investment portfolios. So, they set out working on the
psychology of the average investor in the two-part money investment bestseller,
adopting the view that the best advice to the average investor is: “Don’t be
average.”
Kiyosaki and Lechter’s investment guide can start you off on
your investment journey today. The book covers the rules of investing from the
basic investor to the sophisticated investor level. It is a learning book covering subject from
being prepared mentally to invest and becoming financially literate, to asking
the question “Are you the next billionaire?”
Robert Kiyosaki has written Rich Dad’s Guide to investing intending to inform us on the
combination of things that constitute financial investment! The authors
satisfactorily supply answers to our investing questions throughout the book
such that we easily can recognize our investment quicksand and avoid it
wherever it may be.
Superbly rich in ambition, Rich Dad’s Guide to Investing
spreads investment wisdom unsparingly across 406 pages, organized into 42
chapter.
As kiyosaki takes us
through what he knows best, he does not pretend investing is without a price.
He quotes his rich dad: “You cannot teach someone to be a sophisticated
investor. But a person can learn to become a sophisticated investor. It’s like
learning to ride a bicycle…Learning to ride a bicycle requires a risk, trial
and error, and proper guidance. The same is true with investing”.

This book continues from where Kiyosaki left off in Cashflow Quadrant,
his 2nd book in the trilogy (now complete with Rich Dad's Guide to
Investing).
In his 1st book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Kiyosaki addressed the differences in mindsets between the Rich and the Poor. Then, in his 2nd book Cashflow Quadrant, he spoke on the 4 quadrants from which one can generate income. To be wealthy, Kiyosaki recommended that we learn to generate our incomes from the "B" (Business-owner) and "I" (Investor) quadrant as opposed to the "E" (Employee) and "S" (Self-employed) quadrant.
In his 3rd book Rich Dad's Guide to Investing, Kiyosaki tells how he got started in his investment journey, starting with nothing, and in fact at one stage, with a negative net worth. Most of us, having read his first 2 books, would have wondered if we could have embarked on our journey to become financially independent without much resource at hand. In this book, Kiyosaki shows how anyone can get started and how it does not take money to make money. He teaches how time is more important than money; how investing in one's self and getting an education and experience precedes excessive cash; how having a plan is more important than being in a hurry to make money.
This is not a book for those who want hot tips and quick fixes. This is a book on mindsets. Kiyosaki plants ideas and provides a road-map. The reader must take the first step and learn to navigate his/her own journey.
What I like about this book, is Kiyosaki's concept of being an Ultimate Investor, a "selling-investor". The Ultimate Investor creates deals and businesses that the public hunger for and are willing to pay a premium to acquire a share of. With the internet, it has never been easier to create businesses and deals which one can take public.
As in all his other books, Kiyosaki's book is worth reading again and again. I would also recommend that one reads Robert Allen's Multiple Streams of Income in conjunction with Kiyosaki's Rich Dad's Guide to Investing.

The bulk
part of Kiyosaki's teachings center on what he calls "financial
education" generating passive income by
means of investment opportunities, such as real estate investments,
mining and businesses, with the primary goal of being
able to support oneself by such investments alone and thus achieving true financial independence WITHOUT working for a paycheck.
In 1985,
he got married to his wife, Kim, who is an entrepreneur, investor, author, and a motivational speaker, just like the husband.
