I have more than 150 employees, and not one of them has asked me what I know about moneyThey ask me for a job and a paycheck, but never to teach them about moneySo most will spend the best years of their lives working for money, not really understanding what it is they are working for
I sat there listening intently
"So when Mike told me about you wanting to learn how to make money, I decided to design a course that was close to real lifeI could talk until I was blue in the face, but you wouldn't hear a thingSo I decided to let life push you around a bit so you could hear meThat's why I only paid you 10 cents
"So what is the lesson I learned from working for only 10 cents an hour?" I chanel latest handbag asked"That you're cheap and exploit your workers?"
Rich dad rocked back and laughed heartilyFinally, after his laughing stopped, he said, "You'd best change your point of viewStop blaming me, thinking I'm the problemIf you think I'm the problem, then you have to change meIf you realize that you're the problem, then you can change yourself, learn something and grow wiserMost people want everyone else in the world to change but themselvesLet me tell you, it's easier to change yourself than everyone else
"I don't understand," I said

"So what are you learning?" rich dad asked, smiling
"That you're chanel white bucket handbag cheap," I said with a sly grin
"See, you think I'm the problem," said rich dad

that I'm the problem and what choices do you have?"
"Well, if you don't pay me more or show me more respect and teach me, I'll quit
"Well put," rich dad said"And that's exactly what most people doThey quit and go looking for another job, better opportunity, and higher pay, actually thinking that a new job or more pay will solve the problemIn most cases, it won't
"So what will solve the problem?" I asked"Just take this measly 10 cents an hour and smile?"
Rich dad smiled"That's what the other people doJust accept a paycheck knowing that they and their dior saddle handbag family will struggle financiallyBut that's all they do, waiting for a raise thinking that more money will solve the problemMost just accept it, and some take a second job working harder, but again accepting a small paycheck
I sat staring at the floor, beginning to understand the lesson rich dad was presentingI could sense it was a taste of lifeFinally, I looked up and repeated the question"So what will solve the problem?"
"This," he said tapping me gently on the head"This stuff between your ears
It was at that moment that rich dad shared the pivotal point of view that separated him from his employees and my poor dad-and led him to eventually become one of the richest men in Hawaii while mens brushed steel and gold cartier watch my highly educated, but poor, dad struggled financially all his lifeIt was a singular point of view that made all the difference over a lifetime
Rich dad said over and over, this point of view, which I call Lesson No

"The poor and the middle class work for money "The rich have money work for them

On that bright Saturday morning, I was learning a completely different point of view from what I had been taught by my poor dadAt the age of 9, I grew aware that both dads wanted me to learnBoth dads encouraged me to studybut not the same things
