This book is all about "networks." Think about it: Goodreads is a form of networking, FB, Twitter, etc. are forms of networking. The Business School can be summed up like this: the rich build networks; everyone else is trained to look for work.

Pentru a câștiga bani mari, trebuie să-ți schimbi viziunea asupra lumii.
În general, cartea nu e rea. Începi să te gândești la locul tău în cadranul banilor, la viața ta financiară actuală și viitoare.
Totuși cartea are și dezavantaje:
1. Lauda excesivă a sistemului de marketing în rețea. Nu pun la îndoială faptul că acest tip de afacere aduce educație și bani, dar în cea mai mare parte, marketingul în rețea este ca o schemă piramidală.
2. De multe ori repetă același lucru. Da, am înțeles despre valori, despre starea fizico-mental-spiritual-emoțională, despre sectoare. De ce să repeți de o sută de ori? Să vă amintiți mai bine? În opinia mea, această abordare este greșită.
3. Referințe frecvente la cărțile anterioare, la site-ul său și la jocul său. Aveam impresia că „Școala de afaceri” este scrisă mai mult pentru a-și face publicitate decât pentru afaceri.

Cred că tot ce trebuie de citit la Kiyosaki e "Tată bogat, tată sărac".

A couple of days ago two of my friends from different NM companies introduced me to the idea of Network marketing. One of them was from Ebiz, the other from Sarso. The Sarso guy was much more open and informative, while the Ebiz guy was hardly revealing anything, but simply was giving their sales pitch to get me interested to attend their meeting.
Meanwhile, I started researching about Multilevel marketing aka Network Marketing and stumbled upon this book. While this book paints highly optimistic visions about NMs, using Rich Dad's motivational lines, it lacks stats to justify the claims. Mr. Kiyosaki should have referenced the pitfalls of MLM, atleast briefly.
After finishing this book I started digging the internet to know more about Amway, world's leading NM company.
Sadly, It didn't turn out to be much positive as it was with Ebiz and Sarso.
It certainly will be a learning venture, joining NM programme, if not a profit making one which justifies the title of the book.

No offence intended to my friends.

این کتاب رو به علاقمند به حوزه ی کسب و کار خصوصا فعالان و علاقمندان به بازاریابی شبکه ای توصیه می کنم.
آقای کیوساکی در مقدمه کتاب هم ذکر کرده که انگیزه اش از نوشتن این کتاب پاسخ دادن به سوال خیلی هاست که درباره بازاریابی شبکه ای از ایشان می پرسیدند.

After "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which I read a long time back, I was thrilled to get this book to read. One of the best books written on financial well being. The contents may look to be only for network marketing professionals, but dig a little bit deeper and the book starts to make sense for anyone who wants to be financially independent. One caution though, please have an open mind before you lay your hand on this book. This would be a life changing experience. I would highly recommend this book. Read it, reread it and enjoy the insight you get from this gem.

[Aakanksha · Rating 2 out of 5]

The book seemed like 20% actual content, 40% repeated content and 40% marketing other products (books/ website etc)
Disappointing and annoying since the whole book could have been wrapped in just 10 pages!

[Ahmad hosseini · Rating 1 out of 5]

اصلا کتب جالبی نیست. نیمه اول کتاب بیشتر تکرار مطالب کتاب پدر پولدار، پدر بی پول است. نیمه دوم کتاب هم حرف خاصی ندارد. مطالب کتاب هم انسجام خوبی ندارند. تبلیغات کتاب های دیگر کیوساکی هم به وفور در کتاب یافت می شود.

After finishing Kiyosaki's "Rich Dad Poor Dad" I was thrilled to discover this book, which is his professional opinion and take on the network marketing industry. I own a health and wellness consulting business, and partner with a company called Nikken, the world's largest research and development company of safe, highly effective natural health products - and I have come to realize that Nikken has very good reasons for organizing this company with a networking structure. Nikken is one of the quickest growing companies in this country, where we have a tremendous need for more affordable, safe healthcare. Kiyosaki is affirming, and his insights into the financial advantages of the network marketing industry are more than helpful to me and more importantly will help me serve others better!
Please take a look at my website if you are interested in learning how to build an additional stream of (quite substantial!) income, and feel free to contact me for more information. I currently match my paycheck from my 40/hr week job running this business about 10 hours a week in my spare time. I do it because Nikken's products literally saved my health and helped me recover physically and financially from a situation that the doctors and traditional healthcare providers were telling me i would "just have to live with and manage" for the rest of my life, and I would recommend them regardless of whether they paid me or not. People are seeking solutions outside of the pillbox, and I feel a great moral obligation to share the story of how my fiancee and I turned our health around and provide hope to those who are urgently seeking.
Thanks Kiyosaki for helping me better understand the financial and industry structure of my business!

دانشکده ی کسب وکار کتابی است درباره ی بازاریابی شبکه ای. رابرت کیوساکی نویسنده این کتاب نه تنها یک مرد کسب و کار است بلکه می داند که چگونه این دانش را آموزش دهد. او می گوید : بازاریابی شبکه ای یک دانشکده ی واقعی برای یاد گرفتن کسب و کار است. دانشکده ای که نه تنها تئوری و دانش کسب و کار را به شما یاد می دهد ، بلکه شما را وا می دارد که به دانش تان عمل کنید.

این کتاب حاصل نگاه او به بازاریابی شبکه ای است. نگاهی برای بازگویی ارزش های این پدیده ی نو.رابرت کیوساکی در توضیح ارزش های این پدیده ی نو. رابرت کیوساکی در توضیح ارزش های این کسب و کار، همچون دیگر کتاب های سری پدر پولدار، به مربی و راهبر خود یعنی پدر پولدار متکی است.به اعتقاد او بازاریابی شبکه ای ارزش هایی دارد که بسیاری از افراد از آنها غافل اند؛ ارزش هایی فراتر از کسب پول زیاد! هم چنین از پدر پولدارش نقل میکند که روشی که برای کسب ثروت انتخاب می کنید راهی است که با ارزش های بنیادی درون شما بیشترین تطابق را دارد. با خواندن این کتاب و آگاهی از ارزش های بنیادی این کسب و کار بهتر می توانید تصمیم بگیرید که آیا به این کارزار عمل و دانش وارد شوید یا خیر

Muy interesante para todos los que admiran el mundo del " Marketing".

[Debashish Sarkar · Rating 3 out of 5]

I got this book recommended by a close friend as I am starting my journey into network marketing business. Honestly, I found this book to be average read based. There were few things which I liked in this book, like
1. Generate income from your assets and not your time
2. Be with people who want to you pull you up and not with people who want to pull you down.
3. The cashflow quadrant - and attributes of people residing in each quadrant.

Things which made me vote it as an average:
1. This book talks about this amazing opportunity called network marketing but doesn't provide any conceptual knowledge. It is mostly about this amazing thing called network and how it makes people wealthy without getting you started on baby steps.
2. Lot of content is influenced by RDPD which makes this one a spin-off book to pitch network marketing.
3. I don't like author cross-selling their other products in the main content. It looks cheap.

Overall, I won't say skip it as it has few words of wisdom in it but I won't recommend it either.

[Sergiu Cipcigan · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is dedicated to those who want to invest in Network Marketing companies. I read it for general knowledge in this area and I think it puts some interesting arguments on the table on why you should invest in this area.

He talks a lot (just like in other books of his) about financial freedom and why you should start investing. About why and how to move from employee/consultant to investor/business owner.

It's my second book from RichDad book series and I found them interesting, they fill the void we have related to our financial education.

Libro: La escuela de negocios
Autor: Robert T. Kiyosaki
Calificación : ⭐⭐⭐️⭐️
Formato: Fisico
Desarrollo Personal | Autoayuda

En este libro Robert Kiyosaki nos da un recorrido sobre el Mercadeo en Red, la importancia de como este tipo de negocio está diseñado para aquellas personas que nos apasiona ayudar a los demás. Ayudar a los demás a hacerse ricos mientras nosotros mismos también lo hacemos.

Nos hace el recordatorio de : "Si realmente quieres aprender cómo ser rico, debes comenzar por saber y comprender el poder que se encuentra en las redes.".

Algunas de las frases que me gustaron son:

✅ «Construye un negocio, reinvierte en él para que crezca, invierte en bienes raíces y después permite que tu negocio y los bienes raíces te compren los lujos. En otras palabras, trabaja para construir o comprar activos y después deja que estos compren tus lujos.»

✅ «Muy pocas personas alcanzan sus sueños por su propia cuenta. Por lo regular intentan muchas cosas, pero tratan de hacerlo solas. Personas así deben continuar soñando en grande, encontrar un plan y un equipo que les ayude a hacer realidad sus sueños». Soñadores que sueñan en grande, alcanzan esos sueños y tienen otros más grandes. A la mayoría nos gustaría ser este tipo de persona. Sé que a mí me gustaría.

✅ «Un negocio de mercadeo en red es una forma nueva y revolucionaria para alcanzar la riqueza».

Uno de los aspectos que caracteriza a los negocios de Mercadeo en Red son sus increíbles programas de entrenamiento, porque se enfocan en tu desarrollo personal, aprendizaje en negocios, ventas, etc.

Un libro que sin duda me gustó mucho, llegó a mis manos justo por temas de emprendimiento. Lo recomiendo mucho. Y como menciona el libro:

«Conserve su trabajo diurno y comience a construir un negocio de medio tiempo. Una vez que comience a producir dinero, el segundo paso es mantener su trabajo diurno y comenzar a invertir en bienes raíces con el ingreso extra del negocio. De esa forma, construye dos tipos de activos en lugar de pasar su vida trabajando por dinero».

[Đại Ngô · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sau nửa năm, nhiều lần tưởng chừng như bỏ dở vì quá dài. Do bộ sách này dài lên không phải phần nào cũng hấp dẫn. Nhưng mình vẫn kiên trì đọc, về tổng thể thì mình thấy nội dung cuốn sách rất rất hay. Như mở một chân trời mới đối với mình, giúp mình hiểu thêm một chút về thế giới của người giàu, về suy nghĩ và tư duy của họ. Nếu như không đọc thì mình có lẽ cũng không bao giờ biết được đến những điều đó.

Mỗi phần là một bài học sâu sắc và ý nghĩa về tài chính, về quy luật của đồng tiền, về bản chất của xã hội. Những nguy cơ mà người làm thuê có thể gặp phải. Giúp mình nhận thức được làm công ăn lương, hưởng bảo hiểm của chính phủ thực ra lại không an toàn chút nào. Ngẫm thì thấy đúng, qũy bảo hiểm, qũy lương hưu của nước mình thấy cũng mong manh, yếu ớt lắm. Một năm dọa vỡ không biết bao nhiêu lần. Đọc rồi mới biết đây là tình trạng chung của mọi chính quyền trên thế giới, không có cách giải quyết dứt điểm, càng ngày càng nghiêm trọng. Chỉ có 1 con đường duy nhất là tự giải cứu lấy chính mình thôi. Còn giải cứu thế nào thì mỗi người đọc sách sẽ có 1 ý tưởng, hay động lực riêng. Mình tin chắc là như vậy.

Điểm thú vị là cuốn sách về kinh tế nhưng được viết dựa trên kinh nghiệm và những bài học của cha nuôi tác giả, một triệu phú nổi tiếng và những bài học từ cha đẻ của tác giả, một cán bộ giáo dục nổi tiếng tại Hawai, nhưng lại là 1 người nghèo khó và thất bại cho đến cuối cuộc đời. 2 người cha, 2 thế giới, 2 bài học khác nhau cho cùng một vấn đề, nhưng đều có 1 ý nghĩa nào đó. Từ những bài học này, chúng ta có thể thấy được sự khác biệt trong tư duy của người giàu và người nghèo. Bản thân chính tôi sau khi đọc xong thì thấy mình đang có tư nghèo, rất nghèo. Nhưng cũng đã học được rất nhiều điều từ người cha giàu và đang dần thay đổi. Mình cũng đầu tư mua bộ trò chơi cashflow, chơi cũng rất thú vị, càng có lương cao thì càng khó thoát.

Điểm trừ ở bộ này là dài và lan man quá, nhiều bài học được tác giả lặp đi lặp lại. Thứ 2 là nghe giọng kể của tác giả thì những người có thắc mắc với tác giả về tư duy của người giàu, thì tác giả chỉ trả lời chung chung, và mặc định người nghe phải tư duy như người giàu rồi.

I have to honestly say that I found this book... enlightening, to say the least.

This book mainly talks about network marketing, any why it may or may not be for you. It talks about the power of utilizing networks (i.e. Metcalf's Law). Kiyosaki also mentions other ways one could get rich and compares them to network marketing.

As someone who has tried network marketing in the past (and failed), it gives me new appreciation for this kind of business. A lot of factors are needed when doing this kind of business which Kiyosaki notes down as "11 Values" which are common to most MLM (Multi Level Marketing) companies. I wish I had read this book many, many years ago before I first tried my hand at network marketing.

I would recommend this book to those who were "burned" by past network marketing ventures, those who want to try out their hand in entrepreneurship and those who are wanting out of the rat race.

Един приятел ми даде тази книга, след като бе приключил семинар за мрежови маркетинг, на който той ме беше поканил. Наблюденията ми са, че на тези семинари и в тази книга, се комбинират съвети за личностно развитие съчетани с изкарване на пари.

Тази книга ми хареса, не защото ме запали да се присъединя към тази маркетингова мрежа, но защото ми показа "по-голямата картина". Наистина повечето неща, които пишеше вътре са близки до ума, но някакси много малко хора ги виждат. Нещо, което ми се стори гениално, докато го четях... и след това отидох да го кажа на баща ми, и осъзнах, колкото е очевидно.

През цялото време, докато четях, разсъждавах върху нещата, които авторът казваше. Бях скептично настроен в началото, но в крайна сметка бих казал, че книгата насочи вниманието ми към неща, които биха ми били полезни.

Robert Kiyosaki has always advocated people to be financially free. In this book he shows one way of how - by joining a part time network marketing business.

This book gives the true spirit of Network Marketing. It is a must read for newcomers in this industry. It will help the newcomers to get out of the wrong concept people has about this industry. It will also help them to maintain a posture while talking to people and manage rejections efficiently.

“The ability to sell is the number one skill in business. If you cannot sell, don’t bother thinking about becoming a business owner.”

[Nitish Kumar · Rating 4 out of 5]

First book of Robert Kiyosaki , I read was “Rich Dad Poor Dad”. Was amazing experience. Then wanted to read more from him. Business school mainly focuses on skills required to run your own business. And before investing in business that you want to do. You should first get that skills set acquired. He had suggested network marketing is the best suitable for that . So first join network marketing and get business training from that. Then risk your money in business. It also underlines many aspects of our financial life that we should care as aware persons. Good Book!!

EVERY person either looking into or currently involved in Direct Sales deserves the know the contents of this book....it changed the direction of my life and career by helping me "get it" as pertains to owning my own time and being my own boss. I now work for profits not wages...thank you Mr. Kiyosaki. I LOVE helping people but was buring myself out working for wages......now I am free to give and free to go!

I read this book in just 2 hours.
This is called fast pacing narration in the genre of management and finance.
It's a nice read, Robert, the author has written down many things that are useful in terms of your profession and the business you're going to do.
This book focuses on many topics, and it's a better one than that of RDPD by him.
Apart from this, it needs no more details review.

Not very useful. If you have read Rich Dad poor Dad this is just a brush up on that book---and Robert here like a frantic evangelist continues to sing praise for the Network Marketing Business. He is again and again pointing out the benefits of Network marketing and nothing else.

I still don't see options for making real money in MLM. It is close to working for someone than to have own business. If you have your own business all the profit is yours. In MLM someone else gets most of your money.
