MBR: Rich Dad's The Business Of The 21st Century by Robert T. Kiyosaki with John Fleming & Kim Kiyosaki

Here I am (again) who still learn about how to blog specifically about reference thing. In this second MBR (My Book Reference), I would like to talk about one of my favorite author's book, The Business of The 21st Century. As the world recognized, Robert Kiyosaki is an amazing person, an expert in financial matter, known with his worldwide-scale famous company, Rich Dad. Almost all of his books are bestsellers such as, Rich Dad Poor Dad, Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant, etc. I'm sure that a lot of bloggers or writers or anyone who have reviewed Kiyosaki's books especially the famous one like Rich Dad Poor Dad. So, I want to blog a bit different, I want to give my opinion about another Kiyosaki's book like I said before, The Business of The 21st Century. Here is my opinion.

The Business of The 21st Century is a Kiyosaki's book which tells us about :

1. The uncertainty of global economic (Wall Street failure, credit default swap, globalization, etc) where a conventional success formula (go to school, study hard to get a high salary job with some subsidies) is not effective anymore.

2. An opportunity in the middle of uncertainty called "Business Fever". Business Fever increase because when the economic is slowing down, business activity is going up. Even though, business is going to increase drastically in the middle of crisis.

3. Kiyosaki reminds readers about his cashflow quadrant to get the financial mindset.

All of those topics bring us to a business which has 8 assets to get financial freedom called Network Marketing or well known as Multi Level Marketing. Those 8 assets are reasons why MLM could save your future.

#1: a real business education
#2: favorable self development
#3: an environment with same values and dream
#4: your personal network power
#5: business that can be duplicated and fully flexible
#6: great leadership skill
#7: mechanism of creating true wealth
#8: big dreams and ability to make it

And of course at the end, it's your choice but choose it wisely. I recognized that nowadays many deceivers who misappropriate MLM. And because of that, most people don't want to make a business with MLM. But, we have to be smart to choose a real MLM. I don't think all MLMs are bad as you saw before. So, to be a smart businessman, before you choose what business you would take, I recommend you to read this book first. It will help you to make your decision easier.

That's all of my opinion or review or whatever it's called. I hope it will be a helpful review for you all and for me, hope my english has an improvement, also my blogging technique. Thanks a lot.

MBR: Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell

Tipping Point from Malcolm Gladwell is about make a big difference with a little thing as written at cover. He explains about The Law of The Few, How Some 'Special' people can make an epidemic, Law of 150, Word of Mouth, and Stickiness Factor. He also gives us as readers some examples of them, such as How Sesame Street and Blues Clues in 80s made some children could get higher intelligence, How famous shoes brand, Airwalk could increase its sales drastically within several years, and many more.

I personally just read this book and impressed of it. All of theories and examples he explained just make sense and it is real. They are written in history. It'd be good if we use these theories for further research and implementation in our own company, maybe.

So, that's all of my reference of this book. I just want to share what I've learn in my life. I hope it'll be useful reference for all of you who haven't read it yet. Thanks.
