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

The Power of Learning
To better explain the power of compounding learning, I will use 
the game of golf as a metaphor. When a person first takes up the game 
of golf, the process can be painful, ugly, and frustrating. The new golfer 
puts in a lot of time and effort for very little in return. Many people quit 
after the first lesson.
But if they stick with the learning process—take lessons, hire a 
coach, practice, play eighteen holes three to four days a week, and enter 
tournaments on weekends—in a few years they are likely to beat most 
golfers, even golfers with more natural talent. 
To truly develop their talents, they would have to increase their 
dedication to learning.

Unfair Advantage

This is another example of the power of compounding financial 
education. If Kim and I were dishonest, immoral, or illegal, we would 
never have been invited into the partnership. A good reputation is also 
an unfair advantage.
The Power of Financial Education
Obeying the laws of compensation allowed Kim to retire at 37. 
I retired at 47. Obeying the laws granted us our financial freedom, 
something fewer people will achieve in the brave new world of the
new economy.
Kim and I founded The Rich Dad Company only after we 
achieved our freedom. Before we talked or wrote about our freedom, 
we had to pressure-test our freedom. We wanted to find out if our 
financial education was real and could survive the ups and downs of 
the economy. 
I would say our freedom survived because we obeyed the laws 
of compensation. We remembered to give more if we wanted more 
in return. We continued to learn how to give more from the B and 
I quadrants. And we knew we had to keep learning and practicing, 
improving our skills in the B and I quadrants.
