Robert Kiyosaki: A Biography
Page 3 of 6


Upon returning to the United States of America, Robert Kiyosaki was exposed to a whole new world. Instead of returning to Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki instead chose to go back to New York. Once there, he quickly began working for the Xerox Corporation which specializes in printing and photocopying. Robert Kiyosaki worked in the sales department of the Xerox Corporation and was assigned the position of salesman. This would prove to be a short lived opportunity because a couple of years later, perhaps with some kind of substantial savings saved up, or enough anyways, Robert Kiyosaki started up his own business for the first time.

In 1977, Robert Kiyosaki started his first business and his business was focused around one product, a new concept of wallet which used Velcro and nylon and is often referred to as a surfer wallet. As Robert Kiyosaki invested in this idea when it was only originating, he made a moderate profit. It was Robert Kiyosaki’s first venture in the business world and as an entrepreneur, he made some mistakes, the same ones a rookie would make when being called up to the big league. Still, Robert Kiyosaki acknowledges that there were things that he was not aware about like patents and trademarks that hampered the degree of his success (4). The surfer wallets would eventually end up becoming a multi-million dollar product (4), and Robert Kiyosaki would receive his first real taste of what being an entrepreneur is all about. Not only just that but Robert Kiyosaki learnt what being financially successful is about and the knowledge that it could be obtained. Even more so, Robert Kiyosaki was so very close to hitting a home run off his first at bat. If there was some kind of that would allow Robert Kiyosaki to go back and make some decisions differently, decisions alone, then he would be able to make his first go at being an entrepreneur a highly successful debut.
