Kiyosaki is a bestseller that contrasts two mindsets\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etoward wealth creation. The 'Poor Dad, ' Kiyosaki's real father, was educated but lacked\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe street-smarts and the right mindset for wealth creation. His 'Rich Dad, ' Kiyosaki's best\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003efriend's father, had very little formal education but abundant street-smarts and the correct\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emindset to innovate, lead, manage, and create wealth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe author begins his book by stating that he was fortunate to have had two fathers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe learned valuable lessons from both, and compares and contrasts both fathers' views\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eabout working hard, getting an education, saving, and investing, eventually realizing that\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe habits of the rich and poor reflect significantly different mindsets. By spending time\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein conversation with his Rich Dad, Kiyosaki gained a valuable education and coaching on\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehow to think like an entrepreneur. In essence, wisdom is everything; we are the sum total\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof those we listen to or allow to influence us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo build, develop, or rewire our thinking, we need a mix of mentors in our lives. For many\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyears, mentoring was the role of my parents and other extended family members. Then\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eteachers, employers, and a diverse group of people from all walks of life, each influenced\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eme in different ways. Although my mentors were not formally trained or had the title of\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ementor, they functioned as my guides or wise advisors, covering a broad range of subjects\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eand disciplines. This continued until I began working with young people who increasingly\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003elooked to me for advice and guidance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver the years, mentoring became an art form that I learned the hard way, through\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eexperimentation, trial and error, and the feedback I received-both positive and negative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMentoring was not commonly discussed, yet it was the role of most good parents, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eteachers, or employers, who regularly imparted their leadership and wisdom to a wide\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erange of personalities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHaving spent many years involved in business, government, and community activities, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI began to realize an important truth: our success depends on making other people\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esuccessful. To build a thriving business or community, as a leader or manager, we\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emust empower a person's strengths and help sharpen their skills. In building healthy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecommunities, we must focus on creating strong, connected, self-reliant individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is designed to assist a mentor in passing on their wisdom, helping a person\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enavigate the tough decisions of life, and empowering them to achieve their passions, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egoals, and dreams. Mentoring someone is about transferring the wisdom learned in the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eschool of hard knocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe art of peer-to-peer mentoring is an important part of the mentoring and learning\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eprocess. In this partnership, both parties grow and are inspired to dig a little deeper and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eclimb a little higher. If you want to be the best, you need to learn from the best, which\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003erequires seeking out a mentor and having a strategy for engaging them, something that a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ementor may need to facilitate and encourage as an ongoing lifelong habit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor greater performance on the field of play, we must deal with the whole person, including\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewho we are off the field.
