There aren’t too many authors who have radically changed my life. Robert Kiyosaki is the exception. It’s not just my life either, but millions of people have woken up to the power of passive income through his Rich Dad Poor Dad book and ongoing series.
I most recently watched Robert speak at the SellerCon conference in Las Vegas. It’s there that he reminded us that the online business world is the next generation of cashflow, and I hope quotes can inspire you no matter where you are on your entrepreneurial journey.
