Is it possible that Robert T Kiyosaki, author of the highly acclaimed

financial books "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", is a copy cat? Is he a

"has-been" financial guru? We did a podcast interview with Garrett

Gunderson, author of the NY Times Best Seller "Killing Sacred Cows" last

year about his "New Rules to Get Rich." However, Robert Kiyosaki will

soon release his newly anticipated book "Shooting the Sacred Cows of

Money." Could this be a random coincidence? Did Robert just happen to have

nearly the exact title as Garrett Gunderson's best seller from 2 years ago?

Fortunately, for Garrett Gunderson, it's NOT a coincidence! I personally

know that several copies of "Killing Sacred Cows" were sent to Kiyosaki

and his team members. So, why did I say this is a fortunate event? Believe it

or not, I love the fact that Robert is doing this book. In fact, I hope he

gets a ton of publicity about it. Couldn't this be good for Garrett since

his book came out more than 2 years before Kiyosaki's? This plainly shows

that Robert T Kiyosaki is a "has-been" financial guru, and needed some

fresh ideas.

Kiyosaki is on the way out, Gunderson is on the way in!

Now, don't get me wrong. I believe his "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" books have

served a great purpose and inspired me before I left the financial advising

industry. He has rightly deserved the attention he has gotten by being a

great marketer for the last 10-15 years. In fact, I still believe you can

learn some great concepts from him. However, many of his critics and fans

will tell you that he offers very little in telling you HOW to get wealthy.

Lately, he merely addresses the problems, and refers to his team of "Rich

Dad Advisors" that offer a little bit more education than Robert does.

Ironically, Garrett Gunderson's Freedom Fast Track coaching process has

offered a team of specialists and results-driven coaching for several years.

So, is Robert T Kiyosaki a fraud? No, I don't believe so. Has he taken some

of Garrett's ideas knowingly? It's hard to believe he didn't with such

a unique name in the title as "Sacred Cows", especially since Kiyosaki

changed it to "Shooting Sacred Cows" instead of "Killing Sacred

Cows." Garrett Gunderson is less-known despite his growing popularity, but

that isn't what really matters. What really matters is that we learn from

those, like Garrett, that are in the trenches with us practicing what he

preaches.

We want the real deal that's doing it now! And apparently, so does Robert

Kiyosaki.
