"As an entrepreneur, I'm a great believer in feeding the mind with relevant literature", - shares Marc Francis is a wealth coach, author and television presenter who helps individuals reach their goals and create personal wealth.
And so with that in mind I take the time to review books which might help you in your quest for financial independence and success in your home based business.
Here I'm reviewing a book written in 1997 by Robert Kiyosaki called 'Rich Dad Poor Dad'.
The book is centered around the advice given by both his father and the entrepreneurial father of his friend Mike, and documents the contrast in approaches, and the attitudes towards, finances of these two patriarchs.
While Robert's father was an academic with conservative views on how to plan a career, Mike's dad had very different views and it's this polarity that makes for very interesting reading.
"Study hard, specialize in one skill, and get a good retirement pension!." was the advice of Robert's father, while Mike's dad's encouragement was, "Don't specialize, but learn a little bit about a lot of things, so that one day you can run your own business."
The book illustrates how the thinking of the 1950's, when a person could have a job for life, is still prevalent today, and Robert argues that this way of thinking has been rendered ineffective in the information driven world in which we live.
Robert's provocatively titled book caused quite a stir in America but has sold over 28 million copies.
Much of what he writes challenges the very culture of western academia and it's refreshing to see someone turn our ingrained career strategies on their heads and make a compelling case in favor of financial education in our schools.

The phrase "Don't specialize, but learn a little bit about a lot of things, so that one day you can run your own business" deeply resonates with me. The business owner has to be a generalist. He should have a great capacity to build analogies, borrow from one experience to extrapolate to another. The great example of how these skills are integrated in real life action is what IdeaMama Group has built. It’s a virtual startup incubator with their own advertising network. Well, IdeaMama Ad Network is rather a B2B affiliate network that consolidated international publishers to work with them together while helping entrepreneurs in building up their businesses and their presence online. If you have an idea for a new product or a new web business and need someone with diverse expertise, I would definitely recommend checking them out, talk to their reps and seeing how they can help you to design new product and then push it through their network of affiliates.
You don’t have to be an expert just yet, find expert partner and go ahead. There is nothing to wait.
