Like everyone else, as the new year approaches, I become a bit reflective. I’m not really the kind of guy to have heroes nor do I fawn over celebrities.

In fact, there is only one person in the world who I credit with fundamentally changing the course of my adult life: Robert Kiyosaki.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Robert multiple times over the years and have been fortunate enough to have some meaningful private conversations with him.

But the real impact he made on me was through his book called “Cashflow Quadrant.” Had I not read that book, I doubt I would have ever started this podcast. Honestly, I’d probably be an academic surgeon somewhere with little interest in the economy or investing.

What’s truly remarkable is the incredible impact his books have had on so many people. Kiyosaki’s teachings, especially “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” have been a game-changer for countless individuals worldwide, sparking a revolution in financial thinking.

His emphasis on building businesses and creating assets has been a wake-up call for many. I’ve heard numerous stories of people leaving traditional careers to venture into entrepreneurship, building successful real estate portfolios, and overcoming long-held limiting beliefs about money and success. It’s astounding how his teachings have ignited a wave of financial literacy and entrepreneurial spirit.

Now, as a middle-aged guy, I find something else about Kiyosaki perhaps equally inspirational: The fact that he published “Rich Dad Poor Dad” at age 50. It’s a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to learn, grow, and achieve financial success. Remember this the next time you think you might have missed your chance.

If you haven’t already, I urge you to pick up a copy of “Cashflow Quadrant” and experience it for yourself. It might just change your life as it did mine. In the meantime, this week’s Wealth Formula Podcast features my latest conversation with Robert Kiyosaki.
