I have created a mobile screen print business that I run from my home. It has become so successful that I have requests to teach people from all over the country to replicate my success. I have created my own machine, written a book, and filmed multiple instruction videos about my business.See
www.profitprinter.com. to get a feel for what I do. It is interesting that you mention Rich Dad, Poor Dad, as I have met Robert and have used many of his lessons to turn my excess cash into long term investments in Real Estate. His stuff works if you take the time to actually study it and do it. I have investment properties in AZ and HI and have started off shoot businesses from the understanding of money and business that I learned from his series of books.
I have two kids that grew up with the business and know want to start their own version of my process in HI and AZ. I am 50 years old in Oct. and have been working for myself for 22 years. I love what I do and would not trade my life despite the hardships and turmoil I have gone through while learning.
I am answering all these questions by scrolling up and back so they are a little disjointed. I knew I wanted to work for myself the first day of the first real job I had when I was fourteen. It was at a restaurant and the dishwasher was smoking opium, the cook was doing lines of cocaine, and I walked in on the manager f------g the head waitress in the walk-in cooler. Yes I am getting ahead(thanks to Robert) and I take home more than 2/3 of America.
Let me give you some strong advice. Don't start a business the way the books say to. You have to have something that cash flows from day one! Don't borrow money hoping you can get something going and hoping it will build. Do your homework and have something that can crack the nut right away. It is HARD WORK, but worth it if you really want it.
