I have almost finished reading Kim Kiyosaki’s Rich Woman book and am fascinated by some of her thought provoking words of wisdom. As Gemma has said in her earlier post, the book reveals moments that could be a group of women from anywhere at anytime in the world who are meeting up again after 20 years and swapping “potted life stories” over lunch.
I wonder how anyone of us would compare to one of our old classroom buddies who had over the years blossomed into one of the most successful women in the personal finance world. This exact scenario is the focal point of the story throughout the book and the dawning of reality that starts to hit home with each of Kim’s friends is nothing other than something every single one of us should do, male or female, young or old.
Why do we always wait for a crisis to happen before we start to take living life to the full seriously?Do we really have to suffer an illness before we focus on healthy living? Do we really want to experience the pain of debt before we start to live within our means?
This book is a story about an ordinary woman who decided to become financially independent and in control of her own life. Is there anything more alluring, powerful and delightfully feminine than that?
Don’t listen to that little red devil sitting on your shoulder whispering, she can but I can’t, it’s all about learning and doing, nothing more, nothing less.
