Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur, and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has virtually single-handedly challenged and changed the way tens of millions around the world think about money. In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence, and courage.&nbsp;
Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher's Weekly - The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal, and USA Today - and was named "USA Today's #1 Money Book" two years in a row. It is the third longest-running 'how-to' best seller of all time. Translated into 51 languages and available in 109 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 27 million copies worldwide and has dominated best sellers lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico, and Europe. In 2005, Robert was inducted into the Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that bookseller's Top 25 Authors. There are currently 26 books in the Rich Dad series.&nbsp;
In 2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message. It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list. Robert writes a bi-weekly column - 'Why the Rich Are Getting Richer' - for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled 'Rich Returns' for Entrepreneur magazine. Prior to writing Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert created the educational board game CASHFLOW 101 to teach individuals the financial and investment strategies that his rich dad spent years teaching him. It was those same strategies that allowed Robert to retire at age 47. Today there are more than 2,100 CASHFLOW Clubs - game groups independent of the Rich Dad Company - in cities throughout the world.&nbsp;
Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After graduating from college in New York, Robert joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert went to work in sales for Xerox Corporation and, in 1977, started a company that brought the first nylon and Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. He founded an international education company in 1985 that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994 Robert sold his business and, through his investments, was able to retire at the age of 47. During his short-lived retirement, he wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad.

T. Harv Eker (born June 10, 1954) is an author, businessman, and motivational speaker known for his theories on wealth and motivation. He is the author of the book Secrets of the Millionaire Mind, published by HarperCollins. Eker was born in Toronto, Ontario, and lived there through his childhood. As a young adult, Eker moved to the United States and started a series of over a dozen different companies before having success with an early retail fitness store.
&nbsp;After reportedly making millions through a chain of fitness stores and subsequently losing his fortune through mismanagement, Eker started analyzing the relationships rich people have with their money and wealth, leading him to develop the theories he advances in his writing and speaking today.
Eker’s writing and speaking often focus on his concept of the "Millionaire Mind," a collection of "mental attitudes that facilitate wealth." This theory proposes that we each possess a "financial blueprint," or an "internal script that dictates how we relate to money," and that by changing this blueprint, people can change their ability to accumulate wealth.
Other theories attributed to Eker include the concept that people unwilling to make major sacrifices in order to succeed "play the role" of the victim and deny that they have control of their own situations. Another concept is that guilt prevents seeking wealth and that "thinking about wealth as a means to help others" relieves this guilt and enables wealth accumulation.
In his book, Eker lists 17 ways in which the financial blueprints of the rich differ from those of the poor and the middle class. One theme identified in this list is that the rich discard limiting beliefs while the unsuccessful succumb to them. Eker argues that: Rich people believe, "I create my life," while poor people believe, "Life happens to me"; rich people focus on opportunities while poor people focus on obstacles; and rich people admire other rich and successful people, whereas poor people resent rich and successful people.
Eker founded the seminar company Peak Potentials Training. According to a Peak Potentials press release, the company was later acquired by Success Resources, an event production company, in 2011. Eker has produced seminars since at least 2001. 2005 The Wall Street Journal article cites Eker as an example of changes in non-fiction publishing. The WSJ article examined his use of his seminars, contacts, and personal following as a "platform" from which to promote sales of his own book.

This guide shows you where to focus your resources in each stage so you can grow your business efficiently. Whether you're thinking about starting a small business or you've been in business for a while, The Small Business Life Cycle will give you a better gauge to evaluate where you are and what you need to do next.&nbsp;
If you're growing fast and want to keep growing, this book will show you how to do it strategically. And if you're stuck and don't know what to do, you can determine what stage your business is in now and figure out what you need to do next to get unstuck.

In The Small Business Lifecycle, Charlie Gilkey explains that every business goes through five stages: inception, emergence, growth, expansion, and maturity. Understanding these stages can help you navigate the challenges and opportunities that come your way.

Understanding the Business Lifecycle

Gilkey emphasizes the importance of planning in his book. He suggests that small business owners should always have a clear plan for their business, including short-term and long-term goals. This will help you stay focused and make informed decisions.

The Small Business Lifecycle is not just about the good times. It also explores the challenges that small businesses face and provides practical advice on how to overcome them. So, if you're struggling with your business, this book might have the answers you're looking for.

Dealing with Business Challenges

Innovation plays a crucial role in the growth and expansion stages of a business, according to Gilkey. He encourages small business owners to constantly look for ways to innovate and improve their products or services to stay competitive.

The Role of Innovation

One of the key takeaways from The Small Business Lifecycle is the power of persistence. Gilkey reminds us that success doesn't come overnight. It takes time, effort, and a lot of persistence. So, don't give up on your business dreams just yet.

The Small Business Lifecycle

In Team Habits, Charlie Gilkey, founder of the coaching and training company Productive Flourishing, reveals how to improve any team's habits in a way that leads to the bottom line, and company-wide results while also improving belonging, morale, and engagement.
&nbsp;We typically work most directly with a small group of no more than 10 people, and in that team, we have a high degree of influence. In addition to providing practical strategies for working more effectively together as individuals and as a team, Gilkey explains how changing our team's habits can change our company's culture since that culture is always just an aggregation of its various teams' work habits.
We all know how important habits are for personal effectiveness, success and happiness. By applying the same principles and insights about personal habits to our teams, we can not only accrue personal benefits for ourselves but also accrue them with and for our team members. If small habit changes lead to powerful results for individuals, imagine what it can do for teams.

Charlie Gilkey emphasizes the importance of developing strong team habits. He believes that the success of any team lies in the habits they cultivate together. So, if you're part of a team, it's time to take a look at your collective habits and see if they're helping or hindering your progress.

Importance of Team Habits

Gilkey highlights the power of effective communication within a team. He suggests that open, honest, and regular communication can help to build trust, resolve conflicts, and foster a positive team culture. So, if you're struggling with team dynamics, it might be time to check your communication habits.

The Power of Communication

In Team Habits, the author explores the role of leadership in shaping team habits. He suggests that leaders have a responsibility to model positive habits and encourage their adoption within the team. If you're a leader, this book will help you understand how to influence your team's habits for the better.

Role of Leadership

Charlie Gilkey encourages teams to adopt a mindset of continuous improvement. He believes that teams should regularly review and refine their habits to ensure they're supporting their goals. So, if you're looking to improve your team's performance, you might want to dig into this book.

Continuous Improvement

Lastly, Gilkey doesn't forget the impact of individual habits on the team. He reminds us that each team member's habits can influence the team's overall performance. So, if you're part of a team, it's worth taking a look at your personal habits and seeing how they align with your team's goals.
