Robert Kirosaki praises MLM in his books, why do you think he doesn't do MLM himself?

Question

Do you think he wrote this in there to sell books?

After all, he doesn't actually provide any insight into how to operate an MLM business or how its even done other than to say its another way to create an income stream. Considering he mentions several ways, why is this book the one mentioned most by MLMers?

It would seem to me that if I was writing a business book and wanted to sell a lot more books, I would praise MLM and have thousands of MLMers buy the book on the mere basis that I praised it (without any regard to whether I even know what MLM is). Any chance this is the case?

Answer 1

Since when does having a best seller even guarantee you are right. All that means is that a lot of people bought the book. It just so happens, a lot of people also are not wealthy.

Sure he put it in there to sell books. He doesn't do MLM because he is not a fool, he is an author who knows how to sell books. Considering the limited amount of information in any of his books you would think most would see right through that.

Anyone who would consider his books to be in the top for financial advice clearly have no idea what financial books are out there. In the financial world his books gets zero respect. He doesn't care because he is interested in sales of book, not being some sort of financial guru.

His book relative to solid financial books is like going to McDonald's versus going to fine dining. Sure, the masses love McDonald's because its cheap, quick and easy, but by no means does that mean the quality of the food is any good. Think about that. McDonald's puts a priority on sales, fine dining restaurants put a priority on quality of food. Where is his priority?

Not rocket science!

Answer 2

I think MLMs go into Kirosaki's beliefs of how a person should make a business work for them and not work for a business. But it is difficult for most people to get a solid foundation in an independent business, so MLMs allow for people to try to get close to being independent (although you are still under a loose corporate structure and get paid what the company tells you).

I personally don't like MLMs, I think most are pyramid schemes or very close to it. But I have read his books and do find them quite interesting.

Answer 3

Simply said, there are many ways to get rich.

Although Robert Kiyosaki got rich via real estate, he's very knowledgable on several ways to get rich, which is why he mentions MLM, because if you do a little research, this is one way a lot of millionaires are created.

That said, the reason many MLMer and others buy his book is not for his MLM skills, but rather for his insight into becoming financially free and in reshaping the way millions of people look at their finances.

If you've not read his book, you might want to pick up a copy. It's very enlightening and has helped me as well. You can get a new copy of Rich Dad, Poor Dad one new for about $15 or buy a used copy for about $7-10.

It'll be well worth the money, which is why it's been a best seller in many countries and has been translated to many, many languages.

Hope that helps answer your question.

Answer 4

I think MLM is a terrible way to do business.

However, it is an easy way to get started in business... There is a lot to learn about running your own company, and MLM is a great crutch to get going up the hump of the learning curve.
