This is the book that shows you how to make that leap - in 10 easy steps. Everyone in business knows that you won't ever achieve great wealth by being an employee. The real secret to making money and reaching financial independence is to start your own company and develop it quickly. Millions of aspiring entrepreneurs are already convinced that this is the way to go - but they just don't know how to take those first few steps. In BEFORE YOU QUIT YOUR JOB, Robert Kiyosaki presents first-hand accounts of his own start-up companies and how he learned from both his failures and his successes. Along the way he explains the basics of: How to determine if your idea is a good one How to write a solid business plan and where to find Othe People's Money to help finance the idea How to incorporate yourself for business and tax purposes How to help you find key advisors to help develop your concept How to best launch your product or service.

Review: A lot can be learned from Robert Kiyosaki and his experiences. I enjoy his books because they not only take an innovative perspective on things, but it is a perspective from which he lives day in and day out. I found myself at the book store a year or so ago with a pile of books having to do with Entrepreneurship and being your own boss. I was within weeks of my final day at work and to be honest, I was starting to get a bit nervous. I had nothing lined up, but that of course was the point. I did not want to have anything else lined up because I was determined to find something to do on my own. This would take creativity and as I have mentioned so many other places on this site, my creativity is at its peak when I am reading, especially when the authors have done what I want do. This book seemed like the perfect fit. It seemed very logical to read a book entitled “Before You Quit Your Job” just before I quit mine. The funny thing is that I did not actually get around to reading it until my last day at work had come and past. As it turned out this book was much more about being a successful entrepreneur than it was about quitting any job. I think the title may be a bit misleading but it certainly got my attention. The subtitle, “10 Real-Life Lessons Every Entrepreneur Should Know About Building a Multimillion-Dollar Business,” is much more fitting. Throughout the book Kiyosaki (and his C.P.A. Sharon Lechter) discuss the most important aspects and necessities of being an entrepreneur. He positions them as ten lessons but through those ten he is able to get across countless tips and fundamentals that any and everyone should at least be conscious of before setting out to be successful on their own. What I think is most powerful about this book is that it is as much of a biography about Robert’s business and lifetime trials and tribulations as it is anything else. I have mentioned before how valuable it is to read others’ life stories to get an understanding for what it took to get them to the proverbial top. Before You Quit Your Job is perfect for that. Kiyosaki is the model entrepreneur. He quit his high paying job to go out on his own, he failed, he learned, he did well, he failed, he learned and then he did very well. He discusses the various peaks and valleys that he experienced and how they have made him a better entrepreneur and business man. It is encouraging to read that Kiyosaki’s road to the top was not without some major down turns. When it comes down to it, you are the sum of your experiences.
