- Okay, once again, it's Robert Kiyosaki.

We're here talking to Miss Alex, and we're also talking about financial education for millennials and money.

And I'm glad she's asking me when she's very young, because one of the biggest mistakes, I still hear it today, from young people, oh, I don't have to worry 'cause I'm still?

- Young. - Yeah.

And that is death to most people.

Because eventually you get old and then you're not young again.

So it's a way of saying, when I talk about assets and liabilities, one of the most important things you have in your life is time.

It's one of your greatest assets or it's your liability.

And being, you know I just turned 70, and I have friends who have nothing.

I mean they have zero.

Now they've made a lot of money, but they have nothing here.

They have nice houses, nice cars, 16 wives, 19 kids, I don't know what they have, but do you know what I mean?

And being young is great, except it can be a liability to you.

'Cause when you're young you're just havin' a lot of fun and life's exciting, you know, it's new.

So, at the time, but the thing is, this is the lesson today, is so many people spend their time focusing here.

They wanna make a lot of money.

And I can hear it in their words.

They say, oh, I want a career.

This is career.

'Kay, or, I'm gonna start my own business and this is the chart here, which we've seen.

This is the cash flow quadrant, book number two.

E is employee.

S is small business, self-employed, or a specialist like a doctor or lawyer or web designer.

B is big business, 500 employees or more.

And I is professional investor.

So, when I was your age, I knew I wanted to get here.

This takes time.

This is the hardest, you know?

This is where the mega bucks are, and Kim and I are here.

And the money is massive.

But it takes time to get there.

The big mistake I see young people make is they focus here.

And the words are, I wanna do what I love.

That's the track.

You see, in the real life, sometimes you have to do what you hate.

Like, people think I like to write books.

I hate writing books.

But it fills my purpose in life.

It's not my passion, my purpose in life.

Because my purpose was to get here.

A lot of these guys get trapped here doing what they love, and as we've talked about on earlier episodes of this, you guys pay the highest taxes.

40% here, 60% in taxes here, 20% here, and then 0% here.

So when I was in my, before my 20s, I knew I wanted to go there.

And it wasn't doing what I love.

I had to learn what I didn't want to learn.

I sometimes had to do what I hated.

I had to learn about taxes.

I had to learn about debt.

I had to take classes, I had to learn about insurance.

So I was doing a lot of things I hated doing so I could come over here.

These guys never do this, 'cause they want to live their passion.

I want my passion.

The difference is passion is greedy, purpose is for the people.

So my purpose was to come over here so I could serve more people.

'Kay? So I have employees here and all this.

I don't buy stocks, bonds, mutual funds, because as a professional investor I can create my own assets.

'Kay? Any comments on anything so far?

- Yeah, if you ask anyone, they all say they want to do what they love.

- And they're talkin' about here.

And this is where you get taxed.

- Yeah.

- And coming here I was doing fine over here 'cause I didn't have much money.

'Cause the government takes all your money anyway, right?

40% in taxes, nobody's gonna sue you.

But you come over here, they sue you.

'Kay, so I had to learn about lawsuits.

I hated it, but I learned it.

So the big mistake for young people who say I'm gonna do what I love, which is fine over here, but what do you love the most?

Well, I loved my freedom.

And I know it sounds greedy, but I love making money.

I'd rather have a lot of money than no money.

I've been both.

I've been broke, I've been down, and everything.

But I'd rather have a lot of money.

So it was worth my purpose to get over here.

The big mistakes I see young people making is here.

You know, they think about what they wanna do, what they love, and what I'm saying to the millennials right now, invest in what you love.

There's a very big difference.

In other words, think about this side first.

Most young people, or should I say short-sighted people, they think this is it or this is it.

But this is the one here.

So when I was your age, I knew that the assets I wanted to acquire, the richest people own businesses.

Over here, these guys are small businesses, self-employed.

You're self-employed if you can't stop working.

I stopped working years ago because I have businesses.

Very big difference.

It was painful, but I got there.

So number one is a business.

So when I was in my 20s, I knew I was gonna do whatever it took, school, study, learn about taxes, debt, insurance, accounting, lawsuits, and all this, through business.

Next is real estate.

I love real estate.

But most people can't do what I do 'cause they don't have a business.

It's catch 22.

They don't have enough money to get over here.

Your mom just made that switch 'cause she uses other people's money.

- Yeah. - So, the reason I make more money is because, it's not that I'm doing what I love, I do, sometimes, what I hate, so I can have the assets that I love.

I love having a business.

You know, if I didn't have a business, you wouldn't be here.

Darren wouldn't be here.

100

I wouldn't have a CEO and President.

101

I wouldn't have accountants.

102

I wouldn't have attorneys.

103

So the business affords me the lifestyle I want.

104

And then I invest in real estate.

105

I've never gone past a piece of land or a building I did not love.

106

And then, what most people invest in from there is paper.

107

And that's fine, that's stocks, bonds, mutual funds, savings, ETFs.

108

Not my game.

109

I don't love it.

110

I actually hate it.

111

But these guys, it's perfect for them to have paper, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF, and all that.

112

Because they're focused over here.

113

They wanna do what they love.

114

They wanna climb the ladder, they want their career, they want this, I'm gonna become president, you know?

115

That's not what I wanted.

116

I wanted to be a football star.

117

But this is for the middle class here.

118

That's fine, you can get rich here too.

119

I just don't like it.

120

It's not exciting to me.

121

And then the last one are commodities.

122

And the four basic, there's a lotta commodities, like food.

123

Farmers get rich, they provide food, which is good.

124

I invest in food.

125

I invest in avocado farms that provide food.

126

Oil, gold, silver.

127

I love those things.

128

I love avocados.

129

You know?

130

- I love avocados. - Yeah, I know.

131

So I'm doing what I love.

132

I love trees, I love plants, you know, things like this.

133

So, I'm doing what I love here, here, and here.

134

I don't like stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETF, 401s, IRAs.

135

It doesn't excite me.

136

You know? This excites me.

137

So I invest in what I love rather than do what I love.

138

And these guys do what they love but most of them never get over here.

139

And this is like Steve Jobs, Zuckerberg, Bezos of Amazon, and they have all the money in the world.

140

That was my plan.

141

Any comments, any questions on that?

142

- So as you mentioned, a lot of people are talking about how they wanna do what they love, right?

143

And I think you have a very valid point on investing in what you love.

144

Because a lot of people, just to say that they're entrepreneurs or investing, they're investing in the whole Bitcoin outrage and the cryptocurrencies.

145

And I felt like I wasn't actually pursuing what I loved, or I was falling off the wagon, because I wasn't really interested in Bitcoin.

146

But, I realized that that's just not my thing.

147

I'm not investing in what I love if I'm doing that in Bitcoin.

148

What I wanna do is invest in real estate.

149

So I love looking at properties.

150

I love looking at houses, fixer-uppers, and looking at the numbers.

151

That's my passion.

152

Maybe I got it from my mom, who knows?

153

But Bitcoin isn't my thing.

154

So I have no reason to feel like I'm not doing what I love just because I'm not investing in Bitcoin.

155

- And that's kind of the attitude.

156

In my world, like I said, I see people, they chase shiny objects.

157

And what a shiny object means is, you know, when you're fishing you throw a lure out, this little shiny object goes.

158

And the fish comes and where they jump it.

159

That's what most people do.

160

Bitcoin today, it's a shiny object.

161

I'm not saying you can't make a lot of money in it.

162

But most people are chasing shiny objects.

163

They wanna make money.

164

They're not building an asset here.

165

The reason I don't do it here, this is the highest risk.

166

Now, this is what I know.

167

The higher the risk, the more education it takes.

168

For example, if I flew.

169

You know, if I wanted to just fly my little Cessna 172 around the place, not much risk in that.

170

But when I had to go to Vietnam to fly, the risk went up.

171

I had to study harder, become better, work harder at it.

172

The reason most people stay in paper, 401s, IRAs, and chasing shiny objects like Bitcoin, is because they don't want to take the risk here.

173

They're huge.

174

You've gotta study.

175

That's why we have our Rich Dad's Education, Rich Dad's Coaching.

176

All of you guys are allowed to take courses on all of this if you come here.

177

It takes no intelligence to be here.

178

It takes no intelligence to buy Bitcoin.

179

I mean, I have four Bitcoin.

180

No, five Bitcoin.

181

It doesn't take, you know, I don't have to do anything.

182

Over here, I have to know a lot.

183

Over here, I have to know a lot.

184

I have to study.

185

So, if you wanna chase shiny objects like the stock market and all that, you can get rich there.

186

It's really easy to get in here.

187

It's really hard here.

188

Any comments, any questions?

189

Does that make sense? - Yeah.

190

- They're chasing shiny objects.

191

- So, I do agree with you when you talk about Bitcoin being a shiny object that everybody is chasing, right?

192

And one of my favorite stories that you've told is about your mentor Frank, when he sent you to Peru so you could learn a valuable lesson about maybe something that wasn't such a shiny object and turned into be, because shiny objects change every day.

193

- I wanted to learn, you know they have ICOs?

194

- Mm-hmm. - Initial coin offerings?

195

I wanted to learn about IPOs, initial public offering.

196

And it's how you take a business and turn it into paper.

197

You turn it into stock.

198

So, I went to see my friend Frank who was hardcore here.

199

I don't know how many companies he started taking public.

200

And I said, Frank, and he didn't know me from Adam, and I said I wanna learn to do an IPO.

201

And he goes, yeah, you and everybody else.

202

He said, most guys don't have it.

203

They don't have the guts.

204

They don't have the determination.

205

And they're wimps.

206

And I said, I wanna learn.

207

He says, how bad?

208

This is up here in Scottsdale, Arizona.

209

I said, badly.

210

He says, okay, this is Wednesday.

211

Be in Lima, Peru on Saturday.

212

I went, on Saturday?

213

And we were shooting our video for the CASHFLOW game, you know?

214

He says, how bad do you want it?

215

I said, badly.

216

He says, you know, you meet my president in Lima.

217

Frank never traveled.

218

You meet my president in Lima and I'll find out how bad you want it.

219

So that was Wednesday.

220

Wednesday night, I was on a plane to Lima, Peru.

221

I had to pay full boat.

222

I paid my own way.

223

Most employees can't stand that, 'cause they don't have any money.

224

I flew into Lima, Peru.

225

I went to look at three gold mines, with Frank's president.

226

It was an experience, an education, I would've never had if I hadn't shown up.

227

It cost me probably 15 to $20,000 just for airfare on that thing.

228

I get back on Tuesday to talk to Frank and I said, Frank, there's nothing there.

229

He says, I coulda told you that.

230

So why'd you send me?

231

I wanted to find out how badly you wanna learn.

232

He says, most people don't have it.

233

They want a job, they want job security, they want a paycheck, they want a 401.

234

And that's why they don't get to come here.

235

That's why they don't get to come over here.

236

Nothing right or wrong, you know?

237

I don't ever want to be here.

238

I knew when I was your age I wanted to come here, but the higher the risk, the higher the returns, but also the higher dedication, education, and study you have to go through.

239

And I'm making millions and millions.

240

I make more in a day than many people make in a lifetime.

241

But it was worth it.

242

Did I lose?

243

Sometimes, yes.

244

But it was worth it.

245

You go to school here, you take no risk.

246

That's why my poor dad was poor.

247

He didn't like to make mistakes.

248

'Kay? - I love that story, Robert.

249

Thank you for sharing it.

250

- I'll leave you one last word that's very very important for people to understand at a young age.

251

And the word is called liquidity.

252

The reason this is better for most people is because it's liquid.

253

You can buy a stock, you make a mistake, you get out.

254

You buy an ETF, you make a mistake, you get out.

255

It's good, it's important.

256

The moment you go into real estate, you're not liquid.

257

That's why you gotta be smarter going in.

258

'Cause if you make a mistake, you can't get out.

259

You buy a bad piece of property, you ride it down.

260

And the same is businesses.

261

You're in there.

262

You're solid, you can't get out.

263

Rich Dad's gotten in trouble, you know, with money and all businesses are.

264

I can't quit.

265

Employees just quit and they leave and they run like little rats, you know?

266

But if you're in here or here, you can't get out.

267

So that's why liquidity is crucial.

268

It's very important, which means, that's why I have Rich Dad's Coaching, Rich Dad's Education, we have all our programs and all this.

269

But most people are not willing to do the study 'cause they wanna do what they love, rather invest and acquire what they love.

270

That make sense to you?

271

- Yeah, totally.

272

- So stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, savings, they're good 'cause they're liquid.

273

You can make a mistake and get out.

274

These things, hard to get out of.

275

Including gold, gold's hard to get out of sometimes.

276

Gold's more liquid than this.

277

Oil is tough to get out of.

278

You make a mistake there, you're gonna ride that baby down, you know?

279

Silver's pretty easy.

280

But the word is liquidity.

281

The less liquid, the higher your financial IQ.

282

You've got to be so much smarter.

283

And most people, they have it.

284

They have that ability to be that smart.

285

But they'd rather do what they love rather than invest in what they love.

286

Got it? - Yeah, of course.

287

Thank you, Robert.

288

And I also wanna give you thanks for sharing this topic on investing in what you love, because I hope that this can be a guidance for every millennial out there as opposed to what we're traditionally taught in doing what you love.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
