They continued the seminars as before, using the teachings and works of Buckminster Fuller, as well as the concepts of win/win situations and personal responsibility for one’s own wealth. Together, Robert Kiyosaki and D.C. Cordova ran this education company, teaching students at their three day seminars all around the world. In the beginning it was predominantly in Canada and the United States of America, but then the business became very popular in Australia and New Zealand. The success this time around was substantial, so much in fact that in 1994 Robert Kiyosaki decided to retire. Robert Kiyosaki was only 47 at the time but experienced such growth that in only nine years he became a multi millionaire (4). Although during his retirement, Robert Kiyosaki was more then active in his pursuit to gain wealth. Not giving up the practice of investing in real estate and playing the stock market, Robert Kiyosaki continued his business endeavors. Although, now Robert Kiyosaki had much more time on his hands and he began to write during his time off. Feeling like he new a secret and a talent to share knowledge, Robert Kiyosaki continued his path as an educator, following the foot steps of his poor dad, as he also followed the advice and guidance of his rich dad in becoming financially successful. Robert Kiyosaki found a way, a medium to fuse them both together, both talents learnt from both his rich dad and poor dad, for the benefit of people around the world. This is when Robert Kiyosaki began exploring his ideas and concepts, synthesizing his knowledge and life experiences and began working on the writing of Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Although, Robert Kiyosaki did not write alone, he teamed up with Sharon Lechter and together they co-wrote the first Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. That book would later go on to sell more then ten million books and become a bestseller. But all this success did not come right away or easily. Before getting Rich Dad, Poor Dad published, Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter were trying to sell it to publishers. After being dismissed much, they published it on their own. Together with Kim Kiyosaki, the three of them founded Cashflow Technologies, Inc. Under this title many companies would come to be formed bellow it and the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series would become a brand that brought about much success. |
