It is about developing people, not pushing them down. It's about building them up so they can take better control of their lives and their future without worrying about being fired all the time, or will I be downsized, or what if the economy changes. Network marketing business, the business in the 21st century, is about turning people from employees to entrepreneurs. That's what I support." - Robert Kiyosaki
The Business of the 21st Century Robert T Kiyosaki Kim Kiyosaki John Fleming Books
This is a very poorly written book, but first, let me explain how I got to know this book.So I went to target last week to buy myself some groceries and this random guy approached me and gave me a compliment of my Skechers sneakers. we talked for a bit from where I got them and for how much I got and out of nowhere he started talking about how he is trying to retire in two years. He told me about his great mentors who retired in their 30s and how they are mentoring him to do the same thing. I tried to get an idea of what kind of business he is in but he was very vague about it. I, of course, was instantly hooked as I am very passionate about the idea of being an entrepreneur. He asked me if the idea of being an entrepreneur was appealing to me or not. I told him that I am very excited to be an entrepreneur and asked him for his phone number. Funny enough he told me he cannot promise me anything.
A few days later, he called me to set up an appointment to check if I had the "Right Mindset" to introduce me to his mentors. I meet with the guy, and he asked me some questions and what was sad is the guy seemed genuinely sincere and honest. We talked for a while and I insisted on understanding what the business is about. he told me it is about trying to build a marketing network to sell products. I asked him if it was a pyramid scam! The guy freaked out!!! He started telling me how network marketing is different from pyramid marketing. Ironically, he started telling me if I were to work with him and his mentors I have to have the highest standards of integrity. He gave me this book and told me to read it before our next appointment.
I told him that I will buy the book on my own from Amazon, but he insisted not buy the book from Amazon, because as you might guess if I bought the book from Amazon I would have read the reviews here. I started reading the book and I cannot express how poorly written this book is. The book is 120 pages but the whole content can be summarized in less than 3 pages. I have never read any of Kiyosaki's books but I feel hesitant to do so after reading this one. I reached page 80 and I am surprised with how awful this book is so I decided to read the reviews here on Amazon, and I found so many people who have been dragged into this exactly the same way I was.
I am from Saudi Arabia and an exchange student here studying in the United States. These pyramid scams are illegal in our country and people can face up to 3 years of jail for it. I would have called the police if this happened to me at home. in the end, I would like to say to anyone considering to join a network marketing business is please do your research!!
Peace !

The Business of the 21st Century Robert T Kiyosaki Kim Kiyosaki John Fleming Books Reviews
I know about this book because I was approached by a couple who are both engineers. We talked for a while exchange contact, then we met at a Panera bread and got to know each other better they talked about their mentor and told us that they can't promise us anything (which we like). If they did promise us success we would be turned off because no one can promise you success but yourself. They recommend that my wife and I ordered this book, we did. As a business (mobile app developer and graphic design) after we finish reading this book, we were more eager to learn more about network marketing. It's our 5th time meeting with this couple and we like being around them, so I understand the 1st time we met was to get to know each other a little bit and if you think about you would never get in business with someone that you don't know anything about. We read the bad reviews about people doing their research on that industry but most of the time when people use google search engine for something they believe that they have done a research. Research cost money but we never make our decisions based on someone else opinion online because is it a terrible way to live life and we wouldn't have a business today as well. It was difficult to explain to our family why we didn't want to work for someone else our whole life cause they value their jobs. Our app business is going great and we are currently working on our shoe brand and will be looking forward to this network marketing business. Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. Formal education is there to give you a job. Self-thought learning is there to give you wealth.. My advice is that do what you think works for you
There is no doubt some good advice in here, but I recommend reading this solely for the purpose of gaining perspective in the way you're approaching employment and money, because it may improve your mindset. However, the big sell here, especially in the second half of the book is for Network Marketing. Google this term and you'll find it to be synonymous with Multilevel Marking (MLM), which is associated with companies like Amway (not known for being an upstanding business by any means).
First, Kiyosaki is quite vague about what Network Marketing is and claims it to be a great path to success for anyone, but with no data to back it up. He also claims to have never been involved in Network Marketing himself, but wishes he had done it a long time ago, and recommends everyone do it. This is entirely misleading, if not a flat out lie. Kiyosaki has had close ties with Amway and has developed his brand around promoting Network Marketing. Do some research and you'll find that his first book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, became a best seller largely due to an exec in Amway discovering the book and dispersing it throughout distributors of Amway. Ever since, Kiyosaki has been churning out more variations of the Rich Dad Poor Dad mindset and story, which companies like Amway sell/promote to distributors and use the materials to influence new recruits to join.
Watch the segment on Multilevel Marketing from John Oliver (Last Week Tonight) and you'll get a pretty good idea of what these companies are really about. They sell you a dream of creating enough passive income within 2-5 years to quit your day job and constantly hit you up for cash by encouraging you to attend seminars (which cost money), buy marketing materials (i.e., books, CDs, etc.), and get you to subscribe monthly to a series of products. In most cases, people end up with stockpiles of these products they can't manage to sell or have to use them themselves. Even if you can manage to sell the products, it's a waste of time, because the real money comes from recruiting as many people as you can, to be distributors, which yield commissions. They claim, and the book largely claims you do not need to be good at sales, but you do. You have to sell this "opportunity" to people every chance you get, which has driven many distributors to burn bridges and isolate themselves from friends and family. These companies encourage this by the way. They get you to hit up everyone in your personal network you can think of, and when they become upset with you for trying to sell them on something that will likely lose them money, they encourage you to burn those bridges because they just can't handle your "success" and you need to cut people like that out of your life and spend more time with your "like-minded" cult members, I mean "family."
Kiyosaki's Cash Flow Quadrant, often referenced in the book, presents an interesting perspective for viewing money. He argues that by engaging in Network Marketing, you will be indirectly building an asset in the B (Big Business) quadrant once your network reaches 500+ members. This is a stretch, as you're essentially hovering between the E (Employee) and S (Small Business) quadrants with Network Marketing. Kiyosaki claims it can be around only $500 to get started with a Network Marketing company, which may be true, but as previously mentioned, this is not the only time they will proposition/require you to pay more. Many go into large amounts of debt in pursuit of building a successful Network Marketing business, and few are profitable. If you truly want to start your own business, you'd be better off starting something independently, self-financing where you can and/or getting loans (from banks, family members, or investors). There is risk in this, of course, as there is with anything, but don't be fooled; Network Marketing isn't any less risky. I would argue it's actually MORE risky.
I'm speaking mostly from the research I've done but I have a bit of first hand experience with being recruited for a Network Marketing company. This guy randomly struck up a conversation with me in public and after learning that I was working really hard in my job and about to start a potential side business or two in hopes it will pay off in a few years and I can significantly reduce my daily grind, I became an easy target, or so he thought. He misrepresented his intentions by making it seem like the company he worked for may have opportunities for me down the line, and that he and his wife would be interested in meeting with me and my girlfriend, presumably as friends. We exchanged numbers and he contacted me a few days later, wanting to meet up to discuss business opportunities.
The four of us met at a local coffee shop (somewhere they tend to push distributors to meet with people) and though they talked about building a "friendship" it was clear their real interest was recruiting us for whatever their business was. They asked us a series of questions to determine our mindset and essentially test you to determine if you're a good fit for their "great opportunity" that was first offered to them by their "mentors," a couple who retired in their 30s and passed on their tools for success to them. Check other reviews on this thread like I did and you'll find several similar stories to mine; it's all contrived. With these questions, they essentially attempt to flip the power dynamic to make it seem like they're offering something exclusive that you have to qualify for because they "saw something in you." Trust me they're not picky and you're not special; they offer this to everyone they possibly can. It's also a way for them to determine how susceptible you'll be to the brainwashing that's soon to follow, with one question featuring strong undertones of rejecting family/friends' advice when it comes to this "opportunity." After going through the questions, they still don't divulge what they're involved in, say they'll get to next time (they don't), assign you this book, and book an appointment for the next meeting.
So I read the book, got really excited, then did some research, only to find frustration and disappointment. I was genuinely excited to pursue the "opportunity" sold in this book and share that with my friends and family, in hopes of helping them also become successful. I now know that if I got involved in this and attempted to do that, I could have destroyed many relationships and lost the respect of those around me. This is why I'm so glad I did my research before going any further. I did go to the next meeting with them, not divulging I knew it was all BS. I figured I had to give their book back at the very least, and I had no interest in engaging in a negative, confrontational dialogue. I was also interested to see how they would attempt to continue to swindle us. They were still extremely vague, but revealed that they buy "everyday products" from the larger company and sell them on their website, which only they and their parents purchase. This is a huge red flag and confirmation that this is a recruitment business, and it's not at all about the products, which I assume are mediocre to okay, at best. When we asked the name of this company, they became visibly shaken and quickly changed the subject. Research will show you that companies like Amway specifically tell their distributors to keep the company name out of their mouths, clearly because people won't like what they find and back out while they can. They need more time to brainwash you before revealing the name. When we asked for clarification as to what they do, they diverted by saying it would be explained in the next meeting, a seminar run by their "mentors," who would provide a much more sophisticated understanding. Give me a break; I'm sure they're capable of explaining it just fine, and if you can't adequately explain what you do within a sentence or two, that's another red flag.
Again, I didn't press the issue. In another attempt to flip the power dynamic, they encouraged us to dress up for the seminar, which would be 2 hours on an upcoming evening, filled with hundreds more targets, I mean "prospects." I avoided committing to this, informing them I'd check my schedule and let them know, and got out of there. By the way, they revealed this was all part of a series of 6 meetings, with the 3rd being this next seminar, followed up a follow-up with them (4), then another seminar (5), and another follow-up (6). Looking at how these go, I'm willing to bet the second seminar (5) is one you have to pay for, and I'm sure there are more seminars beyond just these.
It's a lot of time for these people to have wasted on us for absolutely no payoff, and would have been even worse if we continued further without signing up. And this probably happens a lot. Make no mistake, you will absolutely waste a lot of time in this business, especially if you're not a good salesperson. Even if you are a good salesperson, you're selling hopes and dreams you can't deliver on, preying upon people who are desperate to make more money, only to either lose money or barely turn a small profit after putting in tons of work (in most cases). Can you live with that? Is it worth the potential of your own (unlikely) financial gain to come at the expense of others? Is it worth becoming a slave to this business, feeling like you have to sell at every possible opportunity, even when you're just trying to relax or enjoy a night out? If your answers are an unequivocal "no," run far away from these people attempting to recruit you and/or steer clear of Network Marketing/Multilevel Marketing (MLM) companies.
Kiyosaki may seem like he has nothing to gain from you joining a Network Marketing business, but he has everything to gain from it. His business and wealth were largely built on it. He's good friends with Donald Trump which, politics aside, do some research on Trump strictly as a businessman and you'll find plenty of disconcerting evidence that he fabricated much of his wealth/success, received far more that $1M from his father, and achieved his success largely by pushing many people down in the process.
However, as I said, there is some good advice here. I'm not proud to admit this given the circumstances, but this book had many positive impacts on me. I learned to change the way I viewed employment, money, time, etc. After this book, I'm convinced I need to start my own business and work toward creating/obtaining assets that generate passive income, just not through Network Marketing. Furthermore, it has made me a better employee/manager and will help me succeed in business, because I learned that I need to enlist the help of others more, rather than doing so much on my own.
All in all, there's some solid advice here, despite the hypocrisy and flaws. I recommend the first half or so, before Kiyosaki really goes into Network Marketing. It's a short read and a lot can be gained, especially if you want to take control of your finances, rather than being a slave to money or a slave to your job. Just remember to keep both an open mind and some healthy skepticism.
