Do the rich people cringe and say "Don't tell them that, Robert"
-
Yes, yes "Don't tell people what you know. Keep them poor"
-
The moment I pay you, you think like an employee.
-
The moment you accept the paycheck,
-
your brain goes dead.
-
That's the trap.
-
Entrepreneurs work for free!
-
As long as you're hungry,
-
you'll think,
-
The school system is designed to teach you to be an employee, or a doctor or a lawyer, a specialist.
-
But never about money.
-
The poor will always be amongst us
-
because it starts up here!
-
It's in their words and their words become flesh.
-
But when they say "I can't afford it", or "I can't do that"
-
They go down.
-
They become what they say.
-
I meet so many people "I can't afford it. You think I'm made up of money?"
-
My PhD daddy says "What do you think I am? Made up of money? I can't afford that"
-
And my rich dad would say "That's why he's poor."
-
Poor people say "I can't afford it. I can't do that. I don't have time."
-
Because it is an escape!
-
It's an escape!
-
It's easy to say "I can't afford it" or "I am too tired" or "I can't go to the gym"
-
When you could go to the gym, but "No, I can't"
-
Truth is that "I'm just too lazy to go to the gym."
-
And your rich dad used to say what, instead of "I can't afford it"
-
How can I afford it?
-
How can I do that?
-
A question opens a mind, a statement closes the mind.
-
So when you say "I can't afford it"
-
your mind shuts down
-
and you become what you say.
-
People right now who are sitting at home, who are struggling financially or worried about money or are unhappy,
-
they may be making a lot of money but are unhappy with what they're doing,
-
it was probably taught to you.
-
Your super-ego was taught "Get a job work hard or a car", or "You'll never be rich", or "The rich or evil", or whatever!
-
Poverty is passed on!
-
It's taught in your families.
-
And middle classes is taught in families.
-
- Until you change your mindset, the money won't help you, right? - Correct!
-
And we see that with people who win the lottery, people that make more money. They still have the same problem,
-
because they have that poor man's soul.
-
- Correct!
-
If you're poor, you'll always be poor.
-
That's really hard for people to understand!
-
Yes. The money will disappear that fast.
-
Just like most pro athletes.
-
They make millions of dollars
-
and 65% are bankrupt 5 years later.
-
It's because it comes from poor families.
-
But, unfortunately, what Mr. Lipton was saying,
-
it's passed down genetically.
-
That's the frightening thing!
-
If you don't want to learn it,
-
I can't help you!
-
I have bad luck too.
-
I've had financial crashes,
-
I've had people stab me in the back.
-
But they're all good
-
because I grow for them.
-
That's spirituality!
-
People who are afraid of making mistakes like they teach in school.
-
They don't ever grow!
-
Because spirituality is "There is good and there is bad. There is right and there is wrong. There is up and there is down."
-
Most people only want to be right.
-
Or they only want to be positive.
-
Well, you can't have that!
-
That's not reality!
-
And the average person, the reason they're poor is they haven't failed.
-
They play it so safe.
-
They haven't made any mistakes like they were taught in school.
-
That means they don't learn anything!
-
That's why the school systems is actually fundamentally corrupt.
-
It's anti-education.
-
But the average guy stands there and he's like
-
"Oh, I'm an A-student! I'm going to do this all by myself!"
-
And when a bunch of rugby players run you over,
-
"Well, they're not playing fair!"
-
You know what? You're playing stupid!
-
You should have a team. You should have a counsey attorneys and bankers and all that stuff.
-
"But that's not the game I want to play"
-
Then don't play the game.
-
A game of business is played with a counsel attorneys, bankers.
-
I hate to say it, politicians.
-
You know, you got to know the game.
-
People say "Money is not that important to me."
-
Well, then if money is not that important to you, money is not important to you!
-
You know what I mean...
-
I don't care about money. Money doesn't care about you.
-
The word does become flesh!
-
or "I'll never be rich" or the favorite one is "the rich are greedy!"
-
It's the poor that are greedy, if you think about it,
-
because to be a rich, you have to give something.
-
I had to produce boxes and games
-
and I purchase real estate, I provide housing,
-
I provide jobs and all that.
-
That's why I'm rich.
-
But greedy people produce nothing!
-
Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge"
-
But knowledge empowers imagination.
-
and what most people lack is real business knowledge,
-
like accounting, like debt, like taxes, you got to know that stuff,
-
but they don't teach it in school, to anybody.
-
You see most teachers in school,
-
they're out of ethics.
-
They teach subjects they themselves don't practice.
-
Because I understood what a fake teachers is.
-
A fake teacher is somebody who just wants a job
-
and they'll teach anything.
-
They teach you how to shine shoes and you'll get paid more money,
-
but they really don't know about they're teaching.
-
In life, one of the things I suggested people,
-
you got to find a real teacher versus a fake teacher.
-
And a fake teacher is somebody doesn't do what they teach.
-
And a real teacher is doing what they teach everyday.
-
Our school systems are making us weaker.
-
So in school they have this things called "triggering effects".
-
So you can't, as a teacher, you can't say anything that might upset the student.
-
They don't want anything that might jar their point of view.
-
You see people say "Why don't you give the poor money?"
-
The only problem with that is it creates more poor people!
-
Give a man a fish, he fishes for the day, or eats for the day.
-
You give a man a fish, you get a lot of people want more fish.
-
But you teach them to fish, we become creatures of our own habits!
-
And until we break the habit, we don't change!
-
Our schools don't teach that.
-
Our school teach almost the exact opposite of that.
-
And the average person, the reason they're poor is they haven't failed.
-
They play it so safe,
-
they haven't made any mistakes, like they were taught in school.
-
That means they don't learn anything. That's why the school systems actually fundamentally corrupt.
-
It's anti education.
-
So what I say to young people is you find your game!
-
So my game financially, is business, number 1.
-
The second is real estate.
-
And that's why I pay no taxes. That's why Trump based on taxes.
-
Legally.
-
It is a combination of business and real estate that gives us an unfair advantage over employees
-
because they don't know what to do.
-
A lot of people would rather sit in the stands, than be in the game.
-
One of the greatest ways to acquire a great wealth
-
is playing Monopoly in real life:
-
Four green houses, one red hotel.
-
Is that all there is? That's it.
-
Robert, if I can give you some kind of a magic phone and you could make a call to the 20 year-old Robert Kiyosaki,
-
and give that young man a bit of advice, what would you tell him?
-
I would say keep going, just do what you have to do.
-
Just elevate to the fullest life!
-
Which I did!
-
Nothing I ever did made sense.
-
Could you imagine quitting $120,000 year job
-
for $200 a month to go fight in Vietnam almost died?
-
It didn't make sense, but it was the best decision I made, at that time.
-
And I think what most people do is they let their parents, or their friends talk them out of life
-
They're so afraid of failing.
-
But failing is how we succeed.
-
You look at guys like Edison and all that
-
He failed like 1014 times before he invented the light bulb.
-
Our schools punish you for making mistakes.
-
And that's why we have so many people who are so afraid of admitting they make mistakes, or are afraid of failing.
