Why it worked

The video likely resonated with viewers because it taps into a common frustration with traditional education's lack of practical financial advice. The narrative of learning from a "rich dad" through unconventional methods like playing Monopoly is engaging and relatable, offering a clear contrast to the perceived limitations of the school system. The speaker's direct and confident delivery, combined with the relatable message about overcoming financial ignorance, likely contributed to its virality.

Summary

The video discusses the difference between a "poor dad" who teaches traditional education and a "rich dad" who teaches financial literacy through practical experience. It highlights how the school system prepares people to be employees rather than entrepreneurs, and emphasizes the importance of learning from real teachers who practice what they preach. The speaker contrasts the mindset of those who say "I can't afford it" with those who ask "How can I afford it?", suggesting that the former limits the mind while the latter opens it to solutions.

Structure

1Introduction of the "poor dad" vs "rich dad" concept regarding financial education.

THE SPEECH THAT BROKE TIKTOK (Must Watch) "KEEP THEM POOR!" do the rich people cringe and say ROBERT KIYOSAKI AUTHOR OF NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER RICH DAD POOR DAD don't tell people what you know people poor my father was the head of education PhD all that stuff I go home and ask him why don't we learn about money in school? and he looked at me and says because the government doesn't let us teach that subject the government tells us what we can teach and what we can't teach and I thought that was strange I said but aren't we going to school to learn about money he says no your job is to get a job Your job is to get a job I said but you get a job to earn money he goes no you're supposed to just get a job and I'm like no no no no no isn't the purpose of a job to earn money he goes you're correct I said so why don't I just learn about money I can skip the job part you know and he got flustered and he said if you want to learn about money why don't you ask your best friend's father about money I said why that's Mike so I asked him he says because Mike's father is an entrepreneur and I said what are you he says I'm an employee I'm a government employee I went oh what's the difference what's the difference this is the difference as an entrepreneur must know about money or that they're no longer entrepreneurs and it says an employee doesn't have to know anything about money because because the government will take care of them the company will take care of so I'm kid I'm all confused but I took my dad's advice and I and I trundled over to Mike's father's office and knocked on his door and I said Hey I'm here 9 years old teach me about money he says beat it kid you know but that's but that's what the story of Rich Dad Poor dad started and finally through persistence my rich dad started teaching me about money on one condition and that condition was he would never pay me he says the moment I pay you you think like an employee. he says that's the trap entrepreneurs work for free and now I'm 9 years old my head's going cracking in half he says you never want a paycheck understand that kid I said Okay I got it he says that's what entrepreneurs figure out it's like so how do I learn about money so he would just break out a Monopoly game board so I would work for free I'd pick up I'd pick up cigarette butts and he had hotels and restaurants that I would clean and do menial tasks and as I got older I started getting into office work and marketing and accounting and I was an apprentice basically but I always work for free and he would teach me about money but the way he taught me about money was playing Monopoly and I finally one day I got upset I said well when are you gonna teach me about money? he says what do you think we're doing we're playing monopoly he goes no no no no what do you think we're doing so I don't know Said I don't know I'm teaching you about money and then that's where you have one greenhouse you know he says there's many formulas for great success and money there's thousands of them but one of the best ones is found in the game of monopoly still is today 4 greenhouses one red hotel he said what he says one of the greatest ways to acquire great wealth is playing monopoly in real life 4 greenhouses one red hotel what is that all there is he goes that's it and he says what do you think I'm doing? And I went I don't know So then he took me out he showed me his greenhouses and 10 years later when I was 19 I was now in school in New York and rich dad had bought the biggest piece of land smack smack dab in the middle of Waikiki Beach and when you go to Waikiki Beach today you'll see the Hyatt Regency Hotel that was his hotel just like the game of monopoly Acquired assets and they became bigger assets he just kept what's called an assemblage because that property wasn't that big at the time so he'd buy out this shop owner buy that shop owner and it took him a while but he finally assembled this large piece of property And then he then he and Hyatt put up this giant hotel you know and it just sold for 800 million dollars so that's how I Learned about money I've had financial crashes I've had people stab me in the back but they're all good because I grow from it that's spirituality people who are afraid of making mistakes like they teach in school they don't ever grow because spirituality is there's good and there's bad there's right and there's wrong there's up and there's down most people only want to be right they only want to be positive well you can't have that that's not reality well I wasn't poor by most people's standards but I came from a family with a poor attitude if you know what I mean because rich poor middle class poverty starts with a fundamental attitude poverty is passed on it's taught in your families and so the people right now who are sitting at home who are struggling financially or worried about money or unhappy they may be making a lot of money but unhappy with what they're doing it was probably taught to you your super ego was taught get a job work hard or you'll never be rich or the rich or evil or whatever the school system will never teach you about money the school system was designed to teach you to be an employee which is important or a doctor or lawyer a specialist but never about money and what most people lack is real business knowledge like accounting you know like debt like taxes you gotta know that stuff but they don't teach it in school to anybody so and then when people ask me how did your rich dad learn this when your poor dad a PhD did it and the answer is very simply my rich dad and my best friend's father his father died when he was 13 so his rich dad had this family business at 13 to run so he had to drop out of school which was his blessing you know those blessings and sometimes a blessing doesn't look like a blessing but it turned out to be a blessing and then his teachers became his bookkeeper his accountant his attorney his banker his real estate agents so he has what I call real teachers not these fake teachers in school you see most teachers in school they're out of ethics they teach subjects they themselves don't practice I asked the teacher I said you know I'm in my 3 rd year of calculus now it was called strength of materials I said Am I ever going to use this stuff he goes no you know said why do you teach it I said I get paid he said do you ever use it he goes no and that's why you know in life one of the things I suggested people you got to find a real teacher versus a fake teacher and a fake teacher is somebody doesn't do what they teach and a real teacher is doing what they teach every day so my accountants my attorneys they're in it every single day that's how I learned because every day I'm solving problems in my business so I have accountants and attorneys and bankers and all these people on speed dial because I'm solving problems with my team I see you giving this knowledge out and do the rich people cringe and say yes yes yes yes don't tell people what you know keep them poor unfortunately the poor was in the Bible I'm not really religious the poor will always be amongst us because it starts up here it's that fear of mentality it's in their words you know and the words become flesh I flunked out of Sunday school also but when they say I can't afford it or I can't do that they go down they become what they say my PhD daddy says what do you think I am made of money I can't afford that and my rich dad would say that's why he's poor poor people say I can't afford it I don't have time because it's an escape it's an escape you know what I mean it's easy to say I can't afford it and your rich dad used to say what instead of I can't afford it how can I afford it how can I do that you know what would it take or why should I do that he says a question opens the mind a statement closes the mind so when you say I can't afford it your mind shuts down and you become what you say Rugby is a team sport but so is soccer the rules are different and other people are golfers they play by themselves and so everybody's different so my game financially is number one second is real estate so I have accountants and attorneys and bankers and all these people on speed dial because I'm solving problems with my team I see
