Business of 21st Century- Chapter 1

Just started reading a book after a very long time- The business of the 21st Century by Robert T. Kiyosaki. Have started to read with absolutely no prejudices.  The book was given to me by a friend of mine. But I got some idea about the book's context during the discussion with my friend.

Going forward, have planned to post the key- takeaways from every chapter of the book.

Every human voyage of life is directed towards the end of maximizing one's wealth and lead a life richer life than the previous day.  But hardly do we think beyond the stereotypes. The book attempts to change the idiosyncratic human thinking in his pursuit of getting richer.

Hope, I will complete the book as planned and blog the key ideas of the book by God's grace


Chapter-1 -The rules have changed

When I was a kid my parents taught me the same formula for success that you probably learnt - go to school, study hard and get good grades so you can get the secure high paying job with Benefits - and your job will take care of your future.

But that is Industrial age thinking, and we are not in the industrial age anymore. Your job is not going to take care of you. The government will not take care of you. Nobody is going to take care of you it's a new century and the rules have changed.

Life is tough. The issue is, what are you going to do about it? Moaning and groaning one secure your future. Neither will blaming Wall Street, big bankers,corporate America or the government.
If you want salt future you need to create it. You can take take care of your future only when you take control of your income source. You need your own business.
