Page 3 - Wealth Building for Women

Chapter 1

Robert Kiyosaki is a multi-millionaire and has written a book called, “A Business of

the 21st Century” where he describes a business model he and his wife would

definitely do if they were to start all over again. Warren Buffet, one of the richest

men in the world, loves this business so much, he actually owns a company that

practices this business model. So if he believes it’s a great business-model for

building his future, don’t you think you owe it to yourself to check this out?

Here is what the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said in a 2007 report titled “Work,

Entrepreneurship and Opportunity in 21st Century America”: “Millions of Americans

are embracing entrepreneurship by running their own small business.”

72% of all adult Americans would rather work for themselves than for a job, and

67% think about quitting their jobs “regularly” or “constantly.” But, it’s not just

about making a living; it’s also about the quality of how we’re living. People are

waking up to the fact that they want more control over their lives. They want to

be more connected to their families, be in charge of their own time, work from

their homes, and to determine their own destinies. In that study, 84% of

respondents said they would be more passionate about their work if they owned

their own business. And the No. 1 reason they gave for wanting to work for

themselves? “To be more passionate about my work life.” The 20th century myth

of job security, with its promise that the path to a long, happy, fulfilling life is to

find a job working for someone else, is crumbling before our very eyes.

A U.S. Federal Reserve survey shows that the average household net worth for

entrepreneurs is five times that of conventional employees. That means

entrepreneurs are five times more likely to come out of a downturn (or recession)

unscathed and even stronger than before, because they’ve created their own

strong economy.
