Three Business Skills Robert Kiyosaki Thinks You Should Acquire From Network Marketing Business
By Jordan Cheng

Robert Kiyosaki mentioned in "Rich Dad's The Business School - For People Who Like Helping People" the three essential business skills that will benefit anyone for life.

The best way to develop these three business skills is to be involved in a network marketing, as explained in the following:

1. Selling Skill

Regardless of profession, the most important skill one should master is selling skill.

Learning how to sell is as critical for business success as it is for a person's life. In network marketing, you learn how to face and overcome the fear of rejection, which is the core skill required in becoming a successful sales professional. The same skill can also help build a resilient personality and enhance the chance of success in life.

2. Leadership

Leadership skill is a must for any successful business owner.

While you need not be a great leader to succeed as an employee or self-employed, it is impossible to succeed in business without leadership skill. Many successful employees are great managers, but not leaders.

As Robert Kiyosaki pointed out, managers are not leaders. While managers manage, leaders inspire.

Unlike the corporate world where fear and greed are the key motivation factors, you can find great leaders in network marketing companies who speak right to the souls of people to liberate their limited thinking and inspire them to take life-changing actions.

Great leaders inspire actions and bring the power of network. With leadership skills, you can create success more efficiently and effectively than any other skills combined.

3. Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is crucial for achieving financial freedom.

Many smart people failed to achieve financial freedom due to lack of emotional and financial intelligence, which exemplify in the following ways:

• Being too cautious, leaving the bulk of hard-earn income in tax and mortgage interest payments.
• On the other extreme, want to get rich quick and have no patience to hang on to a venture until it bears fruits.
• Lack discipline on spending, believing that money is easy come easy go.

Through involving in network marketing business, you build emotional intelligence which is in turn essential for building financial intelligence. With both emotional and financial intelligence, you will have the skill sets necessary for building wealth and not just working for money.

Robert Kiyosaki also shared a important philosophy: Wealth is not money. While money is measured in quantitative sense, wealth is measured in terms of time. It is defined as the ability to survive the number of days forward.

When you are working to build wealth as opposed to working for money, the focus is on long-term financial freedom, rather than short-term financial gain. Such difference in perspective can create significant impact and results in every aspects of our life.
