This is a superb book on leadership. It focuses on the fundamentals for creating followers and supporters rather than taking the normal approach of focusing of creating and managing people or teams. It explains why people will follow and how to perform such that they'll want to follow you. This is a very easy, well written read.

In this book, "The Business School for People Who Like Helping People", Kiyosaki postulates that rich people get rich by building business networks.

He also explains why he's strongly in favour of modern business models such as Network Marketing. He especially likes and respects network marketing's tendency to attract "people who like helping people", since in this business model your success is built on other's successes, so you mentor them towards success

This book's another stunner.

A critically important book for anyone considering a secondary income.

Another business associate with a very clear view of life.

Keep in mind Stephen Convey's assertion that a "product" is something your customer is not familiar with and hence is harder to sell that a "brand" which is your version of a product he already buys. In the former, customer education on why he needs the product is critical, in the latter, differentiation is what counts.
