ok i got you, but i was referring to that which contributes to success. In the case of say hiring a lawyer, this is not relevant.

I would view this as merely a tool to be used on the road to success.

A book by a man with a strategy he never followed. Makes it kind of hard to swallow. Personally, I feel Robert T. Kiyosaki will the demise of many people's 'fortunes'. Overgearing is always problematic.

The message of leverage though is a good message, I've read it in many business books.

Interesting i never researched his life but why do you say he never followed his own advice ? I am not exactly sure of what you mean by "overgearing" too.

Yeah I read a few of his books and while they were useful for changing ones perceptions they didnt seem to carry a huge amount of weight. However it was his book that at age 19 made me realise that whilst driving a WRX was "cool" I was in fact driving around in my first house deposit .... so the car went and the properties started to come.

Personally I much prefer John Burley and Steve McKnights work though.

Dance... Dance till you drop! Jul 08, 2006
Hi All, Thanks for changing the subject ;) that's a good what of twisting reality. I have joined a club which has a dance class, i didn't like it that much but i have to admit that it was fun. I have this thought that dance isn't nice without a partner unless there was someone cute in that class which is totally not the case at all. Conclusion i'm back to my regulars!

:lol: Poor cutie... Actually I was having some serious thoughts of joining a salsa class but I am just afraid of ending up with some old ppl... Like you said it's important to at least attend one class before registering

Still on topic I thought?....just discussing the ways of escaping the work>home >work > home > work rat race that your first post was about.
