Lesson 1 from Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki

1. Don't work for money.
2. Fear is why people work for money instead of overcoming that fear by making money work for you. Points 1-2 are great conversation pieces to have when discussing business.
3. Use your emotions to help you think instead of thinking with your emotions. Don't become emotionally involved when things happen in your business.
4. Life--how do you handle it when it pushes you around? Do you give in, give up, or push back? Do you learn the lesson that life is trying to teach you so you can move on? You either give it, fight back, or learn and move on.
5. Stop blaming others and realize you are the problem. If you blame your boss, you have to try to change him. If you blame the government, you have to try to change it. Accept the blame yourself and change yourself.
