Kiyosaki: Control Words to Get Richer in Crashes
Robert Kiyosaki, who wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad, says that economic crashes can be good times to get richer.
He believes that the words you use can change your life.
His 'rich dad' taught him not to say 'I can't afford it' because it makes you think you can't find solutions.
Instead, saying 'How can I afford it?'
helps you find ways to get what you need.
During the 2008 financial crisis, many people sold their assets at low prices because they were scared.
Kiyosaki says this is a good time to buy those assets.
He also says to be careful with the words you think and say because they can have a big impact on your life.
Robert Kiyosaki advises controlling words to get richer during economic crashes.
He learned from his 'rich dad' not to say 'I can't afford it' to avoid limiting beliefs.
Market crashes create buying opportunities for assets like real estate and stocks.
The 2008 Global Financial Crisis was a great time to get rich by buying discounted assets.
Kiyosaki emphasizes the power of words in shaping one's mindset and financial success.
