My Rich Dad said, 'All of us have the power of choice. I choose to be rich, and I make that choice every day.'

If you want to be rich, be friends with people who have the same mindset as you, or who at least won't try to change your mindset to be more like theirs. Life is too short to spend time with people who don't help you move forward.

Most small businesses failed because the owner was under skilled, not under capitalized.

The primary reason I'm in real estate, oil, gold, and silver is because the U.S. dollar has become the peso the world. It's becoming more and more worthless as the U.S. is the world's biggest debtor nation.

Job security is a myth...it is also risky for self-employed people in my opinion. If they get sick, injured, or die, their income is directly impacted.

Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.

Failure defeats losers, failure inspires winners.
