When Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki meet in 2005, they quickly discovered they had much in common particularly their beliefs about Americas' economic state. Two of the common beliefs they share are: the rich are getting richer but America as a nation is getting poorer and the lack of financial education.

As they began their to formulate their book both Trump and Kiyosaki wanted to stress the importance of getting a financial education and they really do want people to experience financial success. Not only will it benefit us, but it will benefit America.

Don't get the idea that "Why We Want You To Be Rich" is a step by step guide on how to make millions, instead the book serves as a philosophical guide behind the concept of becoming wealthy. Donald Trump and Robert Kiyosaki are not motivated by greed, but in self protection from America's financial outlook. They know the importance of a strong middle class in maintaining Americas' financial future.

One of their main solutions in restoring a healthy economy is for us to become financially educated. It is time for us to take responsibility for our future. Schools educate us on how to be good employees or small business owners etc, but we have not been taught how to be Big business owners or investors. Basically, we have been taught that the government will take care of us and we have been taught to trust others to take care of our money rather than depending on ourselves. If we are going to be rich, we need to know many different ways to make money with money.

How do we begin the process of educating ourselves financially and where do we look for financial opportunities? Here are a few tips from Donald Trump. Be independent! We must take the time to figure things out for ourselves otherwise we are at the mercy of people who may not have our best interests in mind. Review our skills, interests and inclinations and remain open to ideas we might not normally entertain. He says, " Opportunity comes in different packages and that some great things have happened after wipeouts" Trump also says "Be grateful, be careful and have fun."

Tips from Robert Kiyosaki: "If you are not doing what you love, then start doing it even if it's only part time". Begin investing in things you love and are interested in so that you're more involved and focused on the outcome. Hire a mentor or a coach to help and guide you. Become good at budgeting.

Another thing Trump and Kiyosaki agree on is their belief in network marketing as a viable source of income. Marketing is a powerful tool and network marketing vastly increases that power, especially for those who are motivated.

In conclusion, it is time for us to be responsible for our future. It is time for more leaders and less followers. It is time for us to just get started!
