What Schools Will Never Teach You About Money By Robert T. Kiyosaki

A Different Focus
My rich dad suggested that I learn to sell, learn to invest in real 
estate, and learn technical analysis, because I was preparing for the B 
and I quadrants.
Looking at a financial statement, you will see the difference 
between E-S and B-I. They focus on different parts of the financial 
statement, which is why a different education is required.
Pictured below is the price of gold starting in April 2010.
To me, this shows that gold will climb for a while longer. It is like a 
climber just about to take on the summit. The steepest part is yet to 
come. That is the story the chart is telling me. People who do not like 
gold and look at the same chart would say the bubble has burst and 
the price will plunge. 
This is why I prefer silver. Silver is still sleeping and affordable for 
everyone, even poor people.
As I write, gold is close to $1,400 and silver is over $30. Gold is 
hoarded, and silver is consumed. Silver is the sleeper, but you have to 
do your own research and come to your own conclusions.

Unfair Advantage

There are four basic asset classes in the asset column pictured below.
The ability to sell, manage debt, and analyze market trends is essential 
to all four asset classes.
Asset Class: Business
The richest people in the world are entrepreneurs such as Bill Gates 
of Microsoft, Steve Jobs of Apple, Richard Branson of Virgin, and Sergey 
Brin of Google. 
The ability to sell is essential for entrepreneurs. The reason most 
businesses fail is because the entrepreneur lacks adequate sales skills. In 
1974, IBM and Xerox had the best sales training. I was hired by Xerox 
and was sent to Leesburg, Virginia, for intensive sales training. It took me 
four years of training to go from last place to first in sales. 
I never did well in English in school because I could not write.
I still do not write well. Yet, as stated in Rich Dad Poor Dad, I am not
a “best-writing” author. I am a best-selling author.
Rich dad often said, “Sales equals income.” If you want more income, 
learn to sell.
