Rich Dad Poor Day by Robert Kiyotsaki
In getting started, you need to call on your financial genius, the financial genius that is within lying asleep waiting to be called upon. We believe in our culture that the love of money is the root of all evil. Where as we learn a profession to work for money, then we get a job with the government or a company who would take care of us when we stop working.
