The day the book was given to me I went to the park, sat down, and started reading it. I was so into the book that I didn't even realize how long I had been at the park until I noticed I had goose bumps from being so cold. The sun was starting to go down and I had been there since noon. I finished the book later that night and it kept me up the rest of the night thinking. Losing a night of sleep was well worth it. What I had learned from the book and the thoughts it had provoked in my mind will undoubtedly serve as life changing stepping stones for me on my road to financial freedom.
The first important thing I learned from this book was the difference between my profession and my business. Prior to reading this, as I'm sure most of you would agree, I thought my profession (web development) was my business. I had no clue there was a very unique distinction between the two. Simply put, your profession is what you do to earn an income and are heavily taxed on that incom. Your business is the assets you acquire that earn an income for you with very little or no tax having to be paid. This is lesson 3 in the Rich Dad Poor Dad book called "Mind Your Own Business". If you have not read it yet you will want to pay very close attention to this section when you do. If you have already read the book and do not remember this section sticking out to you, I would recommend you go back and read it a couple more times and let it sink in.
The second important thing this book taught me is the importance of knowledge. The books you read, tapes you listen to, seminars you attend, the people you surround yourself with and interact with are all crucial forms of knowledge. I also learned that the filtering of this knowledge is as important as the knowledge itself. Whether the advice is good advice or bad advice, being able to make something positive out of it is where you gain true knowledge. Always seek a second opinion, even a third, fourth or fifth! The only thing this can do for you is either show that the first opinion was correct or provide you with other angles of looking at the same thing. Being able to look at a situation from multiple angles is a very powerful thing that many people are too close minded to do. Harnessing this power is the key to making the best out of any situation that you may be faced with.
"Financial Literacy" is something the book talks about quite often. This has also been my biggest draw back and reason I have not acquired financial freedom. Learning how to monitor your spending and taking control of your income, expenses, assets, and liabilities is what financial literacy boils down to. Controlling your spending, and acquiring assets appear to be the key to financial literacy. Wow, sounds so simple huh!? I asked myself "if that is it why isn't everybody financially literate?". That is because most people do not have the determination or drive to control their spending. They also think that they cannot acquire assets without already being rich or having money on hand. I have been one of the worst at controlling my spending. I did the typical "get a raise and go buy something expensive" error that many people do. Let me tell you, I will not make that mistake again! Acquiring assets has been much less of a problem for me because ever since I was very young I have always been looking for new ways to "make money". The problem I have had with this is the assets I have tried to acquire are not true assets. Most of them have been ways to earn a quick buck with little or no planning on how to make it into a true asset and having it generate a continuous income for me with little or now work needing to be done on my part.
I could probably go on and on about how much I learned from this book, but really I just wanted to share a little peak in my mind and some of the lessons I found crucial. Please feel free to comment on this blog and share your thoughts and feelings on this book. I would love to hear other points of view and what other people have learned from this book, I'm sure I missed something that one of you didn't.
P.S. One of my next blogs will be on the second book of the Rich Dad series called "Cash Flow Quadrant". Once again you can CLICK HERE to buy this book online or run out to your local bookstore and pick up a copy.
Eu as extinde aria analizei financiare si la viata de zi cu zi. In fond fiecare din noi actioneaza (din punct de vedere financiar) pe baza unor analize.
Cand te duci si faci piata, cumperi de la primul vanzator care iti iese in cale? Sau cumperi mere in loc sa cumperi pere? Poate sunt si persoane care fac asta, dar in mod normal fiecare din noi analizeaza mai intai ofertele si dupa aceea alege sa cumpere de la un anume vazator, in functie de raportul calitate-pret. Oare nu e si asta un pic de analiza financiara?


Ceea ce mi se pare surprinzator este ca sunt inca multe persoane care nu isi urmaresc fluxul de numerar (sau cashflow-ul). Am fost si eu pentru o perioada una din aceste persoane (moment care a coincis, absolut intamplator, cu o majoare substantiala de salariu). Nu treceau decat doua saptamani si eu nu mai aveam decat bani de paine. In acel moment ma intrebam “Oare pe ce am cheltuit banii?”. Si culmea, nu puteam sa imi raspund la aceasta intrebare.
Pana la un moment dat cand mi-am luat inima in dinti si am inceput sa imi urmaresc cheltuielile. Dupa care am trecut la bugete. In fiecare luna imi previzionam cheltuielile pentru luna urmatoare. Si asa mi-am dat seama ca imi mai raman bani si pentru investitii, fara sa afectez prea mult confortul sau nevoile zilnice. Nu a trebuit decat un pic de analiza financiara ca sa ajung la concluzia asta.
O prietena si-a luat telefon in rate acum ceva timp. Era unul dintre cele mai fitoase telefoane la vremea respectiva. In acest moment mai are de platit trei ani la un telefon pe care nici macar nu il mai detine.
Asa ca, vrem nu vrem, analiza financiara face parte din viata noastra de zi cu zi, intr-un fel sau altul.
First I want to thank you for making your way to my blog with all of the others that are out there! I will try make it worth your while and hopefully you will subscribe to my blogs and come back regularly.
I first want to make it very clear that I am NOT wealthy. I believe I have the understanding, ability, and determination to become wealthy. There is no doubt in my mind that I will one day be able to say that I truly have WEALTH.
The purpose of this is to keep a public journal/time line of my road to wealth for all of you to read. In the future blogs I will undoubtedly tell you about my failures that have brought me this far and about the ones I will continue to have. I truly believe that the best way to learn about something is to fail at it first. I will also let you in on my successes and how I made them a success.
Often in my blogs I will be talking about books I have read, seminars I have attended, and people I have met that I believe have made an impression on me. The knowledge I have obtained from them will provide me with one more stone to step on on my way to true wealth. If I tell you about a book I will also post links for you to buy the book to read it for yourself. If I tell you about a seminar I have attended I will also try to post links to similar seminars you may want top attend yourself. Unfortunately I will not be able to link to most of the people I have and will meet down the road, but I will try when possible.
My next blog will be on the book "Rich Dad Poor Dad" by Robert T. Kiyosaki. If you have already read it please feel free to comment on my blog. If you have not yet read it please CLICK HERE to order a copy of it online or run out to your local bookstore and pick up a copy.
Thank you! I hope you enjoy what is to come and hopefully I can provide a small stone for you to step on now and then on your journey to wealth.

You see it every day. "Only 3 days left!", "Limited Edition", "Limited seating available", or "One of a kind". Each of these statements is referring to the same thing: Scarcity. In most cases, as scarcity goes up (more rare), so does demand. And in many of those cases, so does price. A prime example is concert tickets. How often have you been online or at the phone at 10:00am Saturday morning when tickets to a sweet concert go on sale, only to be disappointed when you get through at 10:02am to find all the best seats have already been sold? I know there are a number of different reasons why that may happen, but it all comes down to demand. And demand driven by the scarcity of the seats available to you and me.
Lesson #2
Scarcity Creates Demand
The details of the events I mentioned last time are still being finalized. However, one thing we know for sure is that seating at both events will be very, very limited. The size of the 2-day book study will be at around 200 people. The size of the 3-day Business School course will be at around 100. As opposed to the larger events we've held in the past few years, where 20, 45, 60 thousand people have been in attendance, these events will be extremely limited in size.
So, what is happening in your head at this very moment? I am communicating this message to the entire Rich Dad Community. A certain percentage of you will be at every Rich Dad event no matter when, where and how much it costs. You know who you are and you can't wait for the rest of the details. Very much like me on Saturday morning trying to get tickets to the concert I absolutely WILL NOT miss. You also know that you have to be quick on the draw. Less than 200 seats for each of these two events equals less than one tenth of one percent of you that can attend.
Scarcity Creates Demand
As I mentioned before, these events are my favorite. Not only do you get to learn from one of the best teachers around, but you also get to interact with some of the most successful business people and investors around. A very powerful learning opportunity. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at studygroup@richdad.com.

Acum totul este pregatit pentru a incepe un Club de CashFlow.


Te poti inspira din teoriile si opiniile jucatorilor si managerilor de club de pe grupul WorldStream. Participand la discutii inveti mai multe intr-un timp mai scurt. Avantajele sunt de partea ta.
Care este diferenta intre un jucator si un manager de club?
Jucatorii de CashFlow invata abilitatile financiare de la managerii de club si de la ceilalti jucatori. Managerii de club invata si mai mult invatandu-i pe jucatorii de CashFlow regulile si tacticile de joc. Deci cu cat joci cu mai multi jucatori, cu atat inveti mai multe. Esti ca un bulgare de zapada care se rostogoleste la vale si creste in diametru o data cu distanta parcursa.
Cateva cuvinte despre programul de afiliere RichDad.
Inserand in textul articolelor, bannere si linkuri care trimit vizitatori catre RichDad, primesti un comision din vanzarile facute de ei. De asemenea primesti si bonusuri din vanzarile care vin de la sub-afiliatii pe care ii inviti in acest program.
Aflierea RichDad este gratuita.
Poti obtine 50$ - 500$ pe luna de la RichDad.com chiar daca ai un trafic relativ redus. Pentru un trafic mediu te poti astepta la vanzari considerabil mai mari.
Programul RichDad.com iti poate asigura un venit pasiv cu minim de efort din partea ta. Jocurile din seria CashFlow, casetele audio si video, CD-urile sunt noi pe piata din Romania, ceea ce reprezinta un beneficiu major pentru afiliati. In plus, RichDad.com te ajuta cu un sistem de management al cestui program prin serverul de care deja am amintit.
In timp ce majoritatea programelor de afiliere ofera comision numai pe vanzarile facute in timpul vizitarii siteului comercial, CASHFLOW Connection permite obtinerea comisionului pe un interval de 100 de zile de la clickul vizitatorului pana la cumpararea efectiva.
Exemplu:
un utilizator este trimis de un banner afisat la tine si este directionat catre RichDad.com dar nu cumpara imediat. RichDad.com acorda un timp de pana la 100 de zile pentru o cumparare efectiva.

Daca inscrii sub-afiliati vei obtine un comision din vanzarile lor de 2%.
Deci vei fi platit pentru toate vanzarile generate de situl sau blogul tau, plus un comision de 2% din fiecare vanzare realizata de sub-afiliatii tai! Unii afiliati constata ca e mai usor sa-si construiasca o retea de sub-afiliati decat sa se ocupe de promovarea bannerelor sau linkurilor.
Exista doua modalitati de a genera un venit pasiv din acest program de afiliere.


1. Trimitand vizitatori de la tine sa cumpere de pe RichDad.com, jocuri CashFlow, CD-uri si casete audio-video pentru dezvoltarea abilitatilor in investitii, imobiliare, vanzari, financiare. Aceste materiale sunt foarte rare pe piata romaneasca.

So, I've received a lot of feedback from my last post, "Sell or Suck". I wanted to highlight several comments and throw them out to you all in true Rich Dad "take a minute to discuss" fashion.
First, I received an email from a community member that was offended that I used the word "suck" in an email to him. I wanted to make sure my point was understood in spite of the vocabulary I used (I'll admit, I am not the most tactful communicator). My point with the phrase "either you sell, or you suck" was simply this: Sales = Income. In the real world, if you can't sell, then you are out of business.
For me, being 95% in the 'S' quadrant of the Cashflow Quadrant (E = Employee, S = Self Employed or Small business owner, B = Big business owner, I = Investor) I have to sell every single day. I have to sell myself and the abilities I have and the fact that I can contribute something to the bottom line. Otherwise I am out of business. I did not mean to offend anyone - it is just that when it comes to the subject of survival, I don't like to mince words.
Second, I received comments on my last post from a reader named Truth in advertising asking me to justify my comment about the strength of the Rich Dad brand. I said it is an honor to work with the founders of "one of the most successful brands on the planet." Well, Truth wants some detail around how I could make such a statement. The Rich Dad brand does not appear on any lists of the most successful brands, so how could I say that?
What I'd like to do is throw it back out to you, the readers, to discuss if the point needs to be clarified, if it makes any difference at all in the context of the post, and if Truth is simply a troll.
What do you all think?
Îndeosebi, “rentabilitatea reprezintă un surplus monetar, respectiv soldul dintre încasările totale şi cheltuielile totale. Această noţiune de rentabilitate este bazată exclusiv pe fluxurile financiare ca bază a calcului economic.”
Fiind considerată un modul semnificativ în analiza financiară “rentabilitatea unei întreprinderi reprezintă conceptul cel mai frecvent utilizat şi în general poate fi exprimată prin rata rentabilităţii, ca raport între un venit obţinut în cursul unei perioade determinate de timp şi masa capitalurilor investite în aceeaşi perioadă.”
Rentabilitatea poate fi apreciată în trei moduri diferite: rentabilitatea activităţii; rentabilitatea economică şi rentabilitatea financiară.
În analiza rentabilităţii activităţii se utilizează indicatori exprimaţi în mărimi absolute şi în mărimi relative prin intermediul cărora se apreciază performanţele întreprinderilor.
În vederea analizei bilanţului este necesară studierea succesivă a activului care grupează mijloacele şi a pasivului care indică resursele de care dispune întreprinderea. Activul grupează în ordinea lichidităţii crescătoare (indicând rapiditatea cu care se pot transforma în bani) următoarele elemente:
- active imobilizate ce reprezintă elemente importante din patrimoniul întreprinderii, respectiv o parte a capitalului economic şi care, în mod indirect, prin amortizare contribuie la formarea şi asigurarea capacităţii de autofinanţare;
- active circulante ce reprezintă acele elemente care nu sunt destinate să rămână durabil în întreprindere;
- active de regularizare şi asimilate care cuprind atât cheltuielile constante în avans ce urmează a se include eşalonat pe cheltuieli în perioadele următoare de gestiune, cât şi diferenţele de conversie - activ, adică diferenţele
nefavorabile aferente creanţelor şi datoriilor în devize, stabilite între valoarea lor de intrare şi valoarea acestora la cursul ultimei zile a exerciţiului financiar;
- prime privind rambursarea obligaţiunilor care reprezintă diferenţa dintre valoarea de rambursare a obligaţiunilor şi valoarea de emisiune; aceste prime sunt cheltuieli financiare care trebuie să fie amortizate pe durata utilizării împrumutului.
Necesitatea şi utilitatea analizei financiare ca instrument de supraveghere a activităţii şi performanţelor întreprinderii se concretizează prin impactul complex şi permanent asupra deciziilor privind opţiunile în alocarea resurselor, dimensiunea alocării, respectiv investirii şi eficienţa utilizării lor în vederea asigurării marjei concurenţiale şi a viabilităţii.
Există opinii diferite cu privire la definiţia analizei financiare. Astfel, analiza financiară este definită ca fiind “activitatea de diagnosticare a stării de performanţă financiară a întreprinderii la încheierea exerciţiului. Ea îşi propune să stabilească punctele tari şi punctele slabe ale gestiunii financiare în vederea fundamentării unei noi strategii de menţinere şi de dezvoltare într-un mediu concurenţial.” Analiza financiară este “un instrument deosebit de preţios de care dispun factorii de decizie pentru a cerceta şi evalua o stare de fapt din domeniul financiar contabil” “Analiza financiară conduce la un diagnostic al întreprinderii.”
Rezultatele analizei financiare se adresează administratorilor, acţionarilor actuali sau potenţiali, analiştilor financiari, participanţilor la viaţa întreprinderii, persoanelor juridice finanţatoare (bănci, organisme financiare, societăţi-mamă, alte întreprinderi), statului, precum şi altor întreprinderi susceptibile de a participa la o absorbţie sau de a face o ofertă publică de cumpărare.
Aceşti utilizatori sunt hotărâtori în luarea diverselor decizii, cum ar fi:
- decizii de gestiune a unei întreprinderi;
- decizii de cumpărare sau vânzare de titluri;
- decizii de acordare sau refuz al unui credit;
- decizii de achiziţionare totală sau parţială a întreprinderii.
