Additionally, he makes clear that there is risk in investing, but the best way to reduce this risk is to increase what he calls your financial intelligence.

What he means by this is the knowledge and wisdom about the whatever investment vehicle you are using that you will gain by reading about it, taking advise from experts in the field (seminars, classes) and probably most important doing it making mistakes and learning from those mistakes.

He makes it clear in the book what his rich dad told him: "most people will try these things, not do very well and give up", "the best advise to give the average investor to be more successful is not to be average", "focus less about having the best product or service or idea and instead focus on having the best SELLING .

. ."

He also states in several places very valuable pieces of information that gave me insight into how he thinks and works.

He stated how he became rich by learning about owning corporations and LLCs and LLPs and used them to invest in real estate.

He gave a due diligence list that he uses to evaluate apartment buildings. He even confesses at his 30% success rate in investing in different investment vehicles.

The most important thing I learned from playing CF 101 was that you have to play the game to be rich.

I have become rich in the game and gone bankrupt sometimes, but I would not have any chance at financial freedom if I did not play at all.

So I would recommend you use this book as a guide and not a hand book.

It will help to give you some of the emotional intelligence to deal with the pressure and risk involved with investing.

But if you don't start or you give up you will never be rich.
