12 Life Lessons From “Rich Dad Poor Dad” That Can Change Your Life
Life lessons in helping us develop a consciousness of wealth.
The book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki is a personal finance book offering life lessons that can change your life. It’s different from other financial books that provide do-it-yourself strategies on how to make money.
“Rich Dad, Poor Dad” goes beyond that by offering great insights on nurturing a consciousness of wealth. Essentially the book describes how a wealth mindset (Rich dad) differs from a poor one (Poor dad) and that cultivating the wealth mindset is the key to becoming rich. Most of us were not raised with skills in building a strong foundation with money.
Here are some key ideas from the book that can change your life.

And if you believe motivational speaker, Dennis Waitley:
“There are no mistakes or failures, only lessons.”
