He has shared the speaking stage with such greats as Og Mandino, Zig Ziglar, and Anthony Robbins. Kiyosaki’s message is very clear, ”Take responsibility for your finances or take orders all your life. You’re either a master of money or a slave to it.” Teemat: Rich Dad, Poor Dad | Master Your Money | Why We Want You To Be Rich | Second Chance: for Your Money, Your Life and Our World | Economics | Entrepreneurs | Future of Work | Marketing | Business Management
