Rich Dad Poor Dad: A Conversation with Personal Finance Expert Robert Kiyosaki (virtual)
Description
When Robert Kiyosaki was nine years old, his father taught him an important lesson—one that would serve well for the rest of Kiyosaki’s life—the importance of cash flow. In simple terms, cash flow is having more cash come in than go out in the form of expenses.
Kiyosaki parlayed that early life lesson into the Cashflow board game that he created in 1996. A year later, he published Rich Dad Poor Dad, which became one of the seminal books about personal finance with over 32 million copies sold. Rich Dad Poor Dad also had its detractors, with many calling the book simplistic or provided bad advice.
Yet, Kiyosaki has built an empire built around personal finance advice. There are Cashflow clubs all over the world where folks get together to play the board game. And Kiyosaki conducts hundreds of coaching sessions and offers classes and seminars. And as personal finance and the financial markets have evolved, so too has Kiyosaki’s organization. Today, one can learn about cryptocurrencies and other new(ish) tools.
The markets in September have been volatile due to numerous factors, including the Evergrande debt crisis affecting China.
“Will real estate crash spread to US? Yes,” Kiyosaki tweeted to his 1.7MM followers. “Great stock and real estate opportunities coming for smart investors. Disaster for foolish investors.”
For months, Kiyosaki has been telling his followers to invest in gold, silver and bitcoin to hedge against a monetary crash. Whether a crash happens remains to be seen – at the time of this writing, the markets have been relatively stable.
Kiyosaki, 74, will join the HBS Club of NY in an exclusive conversation as he reflects on his career, discusses opportunities where he missed (and those that he was right on), and provides advice to the next generation of investors. Join the Club for this exciting discussion.
Participants must register by NOON on October 26th to receive details on joining the discussion. The Zoom link will be sent out 24 hours before the event.
Please note that no refunds will be issued.
