Earlier, I made a post based on the things that I’ve learned from Kiyosaki’s teachings on the three basic business entities: Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, and Corporation. Kiyosaki says that most people earn money, pay taxes through withholding, and spend what little is left over. The rich do it differently. They earn money, spend it, and then pay taxes. The government gets less that way, and it’s legal. Employees of corporations: Earn       →     pay

In one of my previous posts, I mentioned about the difference between good debt vs. bad debt. In summary, good debt provides money into our pockets while bad debt drains money out of our pockets. In the long run, good debt becomes asset while bad debt becomes liability. What will you do if you have an unsurmountable amount of bad debt? One of the easiest way to accumulate bad debt is through an undisciplined use of your credit cards. You keep on swiping and swiping that card without you

Passion is where your heart is. It is where your interests and skills thrive. When you have a passion for things, you tend to do better at those. Finding your passion is the key to success in all your endeavors.   If we compare Rich Dad vs. Poor Dad, Poor Dad’s slogans are the words of fear; Rich Dad’s slogans are the words of passion. While fear reflects disappointment and passivity, passion reflects confidence and energy. What builds wealth isn’t fear, but passion. Sometimes it is

In one of my previous posts, I tackled about overcoming fear. Today, it’s time to tackle on how to overcome laziness. Busy people are often the laziest. Busyness is a form of avoidance. If you stay busy you can avoid some of the things you don’t want to face—like exercising, or taking care of your wealth. What’s the cure for laziness?  Kiyosaki says a little greed. Isn’t greed bad? Too much of it, yes. An excess of anything is bad. The fact is, however, that all of us

Without doubt, each of us don’t want to invest because we are afraid of losing our hard earned money. The fear of losing money is the main reason a huge percentage of the public struggles financially. But fear isn’t the real problem. It’s how people handle fear that matters. Kiyosaki tells people that the primary difference between rich people and poor people is how they handle the fear of losing money. Some people, when hit with a financial loss, give up. Others transform the

Debt has always been considered as a liability. Yes, in most cases, debt is a liability because it is money owed to someone else. One classic example of a liability is a credit card debt. When you use a credit card, you’re taking a loan from the bank or company that issued the card. With that loan come interest payments. You generally do not pay interest for the first credit card cycle (usually a month), but any amount not completely paid off after that first cycle is subject to interest.

The primary reason most people have money problems is that in school they were never taught cash flow management. Without this training, they wind up working harder and harder in the belief that making more money will solve their problems. Unfortunately, more money often just sends people deeper into debt. More money won’t solve problems if cash flow management is the problem. As CEO of the business of your life, you’ve created a personal financial statement and analyzed it. The next step

In one of my old posts, I gave some steps that you should take in your journey to financial freedom. Having financial freedom gives us the liberty of doing the the things that we enjoy without having to think too much on where to get the next meal that we would feed to our families. You may be familiar with Kiyosaki’s Cash Flow Quadrant where he divided people depending on where their income flows. It is the famous ESBI which stands for E-Employee, S-Self Employed, B-Big Business

Ok, we tackled about the first two business entities already: Sole Proprietorship and Partnership. Like most of all of you know, the third business entity is Corporation. A third and very different choice of business form is the corporation. Unlike the sole proprietorship and the partnership, the corporation is an entity completely separate from you, the person incorporating it. Your company is now an “Inc,”, an Incorporated and with that designation comes some additional paperwork and

Yesterday, we tackled about sole proprietorship as one of the three main types of business entities. As Kiyosaki said, sole proprietorship is not the kind of business entity that he can recommend because as a business owner, you would be “solely” responsible and liable to your business and there’s a risk of putting your personal assets in danger if the business fails. Today, we would tackle the next business entity and that is partnership. Like a sole proprietorship, a
