This book really is worth every penny I paid for it. It’s kept me up late at night studying and motivated me to get into action in some new areas of creating financial security.

Here’s the final review documenting my progress with the ‘Conspiracy of the Rich.’

You can see Parts 1 and 2 here at the blog if you need to do a quick catch up:

New Rule of Money

Conspiracy – History in the Making

It’s been an exciting journey so far. Somewhere between Part 1 and Part 2 I had a call from the Rich Dad branding team and unbelievably Robert Kiyosaki created a video just for my blog with an awesome message for Network Marketers in the new economy.

Watch and listen to his message for you here if you didn’t see it yet:

Rich Dad Network Marketing Message

So let’s wrap up the review today.

This is all about learning the new rules of money. It’s a new game or at least it’s an old game but now anyone can learn how to play it if they are willing to invest time and money into their own financial education.

The conspiracy of the rich has been revealed both through this book and also through the frightening reality of the economy today.

For under $10 you can educate yourself on ‘The Language of Money,’ – this is the 6th New Rule of Money.

Robert Kiyosaki says that financial language is deliberately used to confuse us! Well if that is true the financial wizards have certainly done a good job there.

The 7th New Rule of Money: Life is a Team Sport – Choose Your Team Carefully.

This is a particularly interesting one for Network Marketing team builders isn’t it?

Then 8th and Last New Rule of Money: Since Money is Becoming a Worth-less and Less, Learn to Print Your Own!

Some of the book is very shocking and although I like to think of myself as a street savvy kid there was a ton of stuff in the book that I didn’t understand before and that I now have a greater understanding of.

Here are a couple of great quotes from the book to get you thinking and whet your appetite to start reading:

‘Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls-Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.’

‘The Federal Reserve is not American, not federal, has no reserves, and is not a bank.’

What do you think about that? Confusing hah?

‘The people with the most security are in prison. That’s why it’s called ‘maximum security.’

When you don’t have money, think and use your head. Never give into the poor person inside you.’

So how can you beat the conspiracy of the rich and print your own money?

The strongest message I got from the book was about the need to learn the language of money now.

Robert Kiyosaki talks in detail about how to diversify. He says most people think they are diversifying when they own various stocks on the stock market. (He refers to the stock market as gambling and advocates taking out insurance if you want to do it)

Here is a brief overview of how Rich Dad prints his own money and diversifies:

Invests in his own businesses
Invests in Real Estate for CASHFLOW (not capital gains)
Invests in the Stock Market
Invests in Gold and Silver. (This seems to be his way of saving, rather than holding cash)

If you’re new to thinking out of the financial box and are not yet familiar with the famous ‘cashflow quadrant,’ and the core principles of investing and the advantages of becoming a business owner then I highly recommend that you start with ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad.’

This is education for adults in the basics of the financial and business world that we didn’t learn in school.

If you haven’t yet read ‘The Conspiracy of the Rich,’ but are concerned about this economy and your financial future then this really is a must read for you.

I’m going to read it again in a few months so I can properly digest all the information and apply it as I develop my financial knowledge.

Take heed my good reader. Robert Kiyosaki predicts that the worse is far from over. He thinks the economy will take another big nose dive in the next couple of years when the next wave of ‘mortage resets’ come into play. (see P191)

He talks of the middle class being wiped out and more and more people living in ’shanty towns,’ on the outskirts of prosperous cities where the rich who understand the language of money live.

Robert has predicted many things in the past, that are already coming true, such as the massive wave of baby boomers retiring with no pension so I’m not going to be sitting on my laurels. (Whatever they are!)

If you are not yet building a Network Marketing business that is creating cashflow for you, and passive income for your future, listen to the short video message that I made especially for you here about the new economy and what you can do about it:

Special note: This offer is not for the curious. This is for those who are actually looking for a new business now. I am not looking to get you out of a business you are already in and happy with. I am looking for those who are looking for me!

Hey freedom seekers!

I have an incredibly exciting video to share with you today.

As many of you know from my ezine I’ve been reviewing the new Rich Dad book ‘The Conspiracy of the Rich,’ in a series at my blog. As a result of using Attraction Marketing combined with an educational cashflow campaign to get the word out about my MLM, I actually ATTRACTED Rich Dad’s branding company to call me in the UK!

How cool and attractive is that?

Not only are the gate-keepers dead but the gurus are reaching out to their fans and helping them to promote themselves with social media tools!

I’m so excited by this because it shows just how the media is now shaped by each and every one of us. We have CONTROL over what is put out there online and we can have our say by blogging, tweeting, posting videos and plugging into the power of free social media.

In the video, Robert Kiyosaki, of Rich Dad fame answered my 3 cashflow questions as follows:

1) The ‘old machine’ seems to be broken. How critical is it in this new economy for people to stop relying on an employer to create their financial security?

2) Does your formula of ‘build a business and invest your cash profits into real estate’ still hold good today?

3) What words of encouragement can you give to the thousands of new entrepreneurs turning to Network Marketing today?

To hear the answers watch this short video with Robert Kiyosaki: (He even says my name right!)

There is an important message for Network Marketers here!

Another example of how Attraction Marketing is working for me today is that I also had Kim Kiyosaki’s assistant message me a while back to share some free tools for me to distribute at my Rich Woman group on Facebook.

If you’d like to join us over at the Rich Woman group to get regular educational updates about building passive income and financial freedom with property, information marketing and Networking please join us here: Rich Woman Cashflow Group

What can you learn from this? The buzz words are ‘giving value’ and ‘following your passion.‘ I started the Rich Woman group on Facebook way before Kim Kiyosaki came to Facebook and created her own group!

Why? Because I’m passionate and enthusiastic about sharing what I am learning to create financial and time freedom in my life. I read the Rich Woman and it seemed like a great idea to start a group. It wasn’t a chore or job. I enjoy it because I get to connect with AMAZING women with big dreams from all over the world.

What can you do with this example? How you can follow your own passion and use the power of Attraction Marketing to attract your mentors and perfect business contacts to you?

It’s worth thinking about because we are in a very special time where social media is still new enough to represent a HUGE opportunity for you to brand yourself and be one of the first.

Food for thought…

Happy Thanksgiving.

I’m over half-way through ‘Rich Dad’s Conspiracy of the Rich,’ now and it is proving to be a brilliant and very thought provoking read. Many of the books I read these days deliver a message that I am already familiar with but am happy to have reinforced.

This is not the case with the new Rich Dad book. I am familiar with the basic concepts because I read many of the other Rich Dad books and have been on a passive income quest for years now…CashFlow Online DVD but there is a lot of stuff in this book that I didn’t know and is actually a real eye-opener. I may even have been caught gasping if you had a FLIP camera on me unawares!

Okay so I’m not American and that may be why, but still…

Do you really understand what the Federal Reserve does? You’ve got to read the book to get that stuff as it’s just too complicated to explain in a short post. It’s all connected with Rich Dad’s ‘Conspiracy of the Rich,’ though and is quite shocking stuff.

Robert Kiyosaki really gets into the nitty gritty of the financial world and what is going on in the ‘new economy.’

Despite the fact that he uses plain English and makes a valiant effort to keep it simple, I still found myself having to read things over a couple of times in places. (Not that this is a bad thing – a book is a great way to reflect and have thought provoking discussions with oneself I find!)

In the first review I gave you an introduction to the New Rule of Money #1. See here for more details and a Rich Dad book review and video explaining the old rules of money.

Kiyosaki claims that the dollar died and became Monopoly money on the day that ‘President Nixon severed the relationship between the U.S dollar and gold.’ This was in 1971 and preceded the biggest boom in economic history.

It really is a fascinating read and made me sit up and think very carefully about our financial strategy as a family. Have you been thinking about yours lately? Have you got a financial strategy?

I was a little surprised to find that the first half of the book is all about this conspiracy and I wouldn’t be surprised if it encourages the ‘blame syndrome’ of those who are always looking to blame the rich etc. for their own situation.

In fact it triggered many thoughts of Jim Rohn and his inspiring speeches about taking responsibility for yourself and not blaming the government or external elements. I found myself wondering what he thinks of the ‘Conspiracy of the Rich.’

Coming from a very rich man it was quite disarming in a way. Kiyosaki is talking very much from the view point of a self made multi-millionaire and maybe doesn’t see the irony of it? Or maybe he does.. He’s one clever cookie after all.

Anyway the old adage ‘the rich are getting richer,’ is reaffirmed here. The main point of the book is in line with all of the Rich Dad books and financial products.

Learn the new rules of money and become financially literate for today’s economy.

Teach your children the new rules of money.

All the talk about precious metals i.e. gold and silver really reminded me of ‘Atlas Shrugged,’ by Ayn Rand which is a mega epic of a book which seems to have predicted exactly what is happening in the economy today. (It’s a BIG book but worth the effort – it has politics, philosophy, sex and drama in it so is a real page turner!)

I digress but there is always so much to say about books!

So here’s a quick crib note for you to catch up on the next new rules of money:

New Rule of money #2: Learn how to use debt. (Notice the rule is not to avoid debt but to use it correctly for investments)

New Rule of money #3: Learn to control cashflow. (This is about learning to have cash flowing IN to your pockets!)

New Rule of money #4: Prepare for bad times and you will only know good times. (Kim and Robert Kiyosaki have been preparing for 20 years so we have lots of catching up to do here!)

New Rule of money #5: The need for speed. (This is all about making money by the second rather than the month which is the old way of making money)

Here are some interesting questions from the book for you to chew on:

1) Are you being paid by the month, the hour, the minute or the second?

2) Are you earning money 8 hours a day or 24/7?

3) If you stop working, will money continue to come in?

4) Do you have multiple sources of income?

5) If you are an employee, are you working for an employer who is being left behind?

6) Are your friends and family moving forward or being left behind financially?

Take some time to think about those questions and grab yourself a copy of the book if this sounds like something you need to put your focus on.

I’m moving onto the next half of the book where Robert will be teaching us to print our own money and the doom and gloom of the first half will be behind us so stay tuned and I’ll post a final book review just as soon as I’ve finished.

I tend to read pages from 5 books at a time as well as dipping into my daily personal growth books (which keep me sane) so it’s not that I’m a really slow reader but this is not a Philippa Gregory novel, although the conspiracy theory does read better than a Robert Ludlum thriller in parts!

Part 1 – ‘The First New Rule of Money’

I’m reading this mind blowing book, ‘Rich Dad’s Conspiracy of the Rich,’ which is the first Rich Dad book written completely online!

I’ve read most of Robert Kiyosaki’s books, play his Cashflow game regularly and also run a group ‘Rich Woman’ on Facebook which I started after reading the ‘Rich Woman’ book by Kim Kiyosaki.

I was shocked when I read Rich Dad’s ‘Prophecy’ way back in 2003. Did you read that one?

I tell you it was tame compared to the first part of ‘Conspiracy of the Rich’ which almost brought me out in a cold sweat!

Ok I admit it… being in the UK it takes a while for us to get the latest books from America and I had read a little bit of the book online as Robert Kiyosaki was writing it but I’d kind of forgotten about it..

I popped into Waterstones which is one of my favourite treats, to look for the new Social Media book, ‘Crush It’ by Gary Vaynerchuk, but it has yet to reach our rainy shores, and the new Rich Dad book caught my eye.

Whizzing through the contents I was immediately hooked. Who isn’t drawn into a ‘Conspiracy?’ Especially one that has apparently been going on under my very little nose all of my life without my even suspecting!

‘The Root of all Evil’ is the hook at the first part of the book and after being a loyal Randy Gage prosperity student (continuously working on ridding my mind of evil memes which is a life’s work!) I figured I’d better grab this book and find out what’s really going on in this new economy…especially as I avoid the news, unless you count Twitter!

Here’s a short video of Robert Kiyosaki. Before we can understand the new rules of money, we must be clear on the old rules of money, he says.

Watch the video to learn exactly what the old rules of money are. You know them but you may not know you know them! Are you still playing by them?

So what’s the first new rule of money? It is …. (and it is no surprise for those who have grasped the potential of information marketing)

*’Money Is Knowledge.’

Here’s a quick summary of the key points if you’re allergic to reading and just want the crib notes version here:

Robert dispels the old myth and says that you do not need money to make money. (Again I am reminded of Randy Gage’s prosperity teachings)

So what do you need? Robert Kiyosaki says you need knowledge. Visit this blog often and keep up to speed with the New Rules of Money because I will give you a condensed version of them all as I read the book.

I figure if a book can be written interactively and posted online as it is written – then so can a book review!

The focus is on financial knowledge and Robert explains that it’s not investing that is risky but rather lack of financial knowledge.

In the first rule of money Robert introduces the ‘conspiracy against our education.’ He writes ‘it is a crime that in America our real estate taxes determine the quality of education a child receives. Schools in poor neighbourhoods receive less tax money than schools in rich neighbourhoods. Talk about a conspiracy of the rich!’

I think the bottom line of the first new rule of money is that we need to first educate ourselves to be financially literate, and then our children, because as we know when we look at their syllabus, they are not receiving financial education at school no matter what neighbourhood they live in.

Tip of the week: Play the Cashflow game. If you have kids why not play with them too? We’re playing on Sundays with our two daughters and it is amazing how quick kids are with this stuff. You just need to make it fun and capture their imagination.

It’s a long game and the first times you play, it may take you a while to get going so if you’re playing with kids (or other people who may take a while to get it…) be prepared to split the game into a couple of sessions for a better learning experience.

If you are playing with someone like Monica in friends you may struggle to stop before she wins the game!

I’m really proud to say that our daughters, Amy and Ella, have been exposed to personal development tapes and teachings for as far back as they can remember. I wish I’d listened to Jim Rohn when I was a child! They already have a great ‘can do’ attitude which is another positive result of being in a Network Marketing family.

By showing them how cashflow works in the cashflow game imagine what an advantage they have compared to the average kid who is just being taught Pythagoras.

I’m sure this is important in some way, but to this day I have never used it since I left school except to try and help my kids with their homework!
