Management leadership for tomorrow or MLT program.

Management leadership for tomorrow or MLT program is a business management program run by John Rice which is more of a boot camp to teach young and bright people the successful management techniques. Some of them could be networking or selling products to investors. This kind of business management programs has put a lot of black professionals on to senior corporate positions in America

This is also being featured in “black in America” which was aired in July 2008 for the first time and became a popular show. Such programs are helpful in bringing out the hidden talent and they are inspiring as well.

Business Management programs such as management leadership for tomorrow or MLT are good to make Excel in their respective fields. Even people paying hundreds of dollars for their MBA programs should opt for such management programs to enhance their knowledge and skills of leadership management. There are a lot of concepts and techniques which can from these programs.

Most of our education is both leaned towards books and theoretical knowledge more than the practical approach towards management and problems solving which only comes with experience. Business management programs like management leadership for tomorrow can also inspire people to give their best besides training them.

Money in a slow economy

With the economic slowdown It is even more important to know about money and how it works. Financial education helps you do this. At the moment global markets are down and the growth rate is slow. So the investment opportunities are low. But seeing the other side of it. This can be the best time to invest. You can get some really good real estate deals at bargain prices. It is always a cyclic pattern that goes with economy, after a few years of boom economies will slow down for a correction and then it will pick up again

You just have to understand this process and make the most of both phases of the economy. Shares are down at their lower sides . You can pick up some really good ones for a long term investment. Well all the investment is good if you have some savings or money to do it. What if you don’t have any? Then it’s the saving you should be focusing on.

Cut down on all your unnecessary expenses and make a priority list of them . Some of them you will not be able to cut at any cost like health and education. But some of them you will be able to save on like making car trips or eating out. I think it is the business class that takes a big hit. They have to adjust to their business plans according to the demands and look for ways to keep their sales up to a mark.

For the people who work 9 to 5 if they have a job security at this time it is good but with all the layoffs and unemployment they are also bound to get affected. If any of the family member looses a job it is bound to affect the budget of a family.

So you should know what you can do to make your money work to the maximum. Invest if you can of else save if you can.

To your success.

Kiyosaki had rich dad as his inspiration. He had a burning desire to be successful and that desire was strong enough to take him through the path of success.

 

Are we living in our comfort zones? Are we managing the things that affect our life and our future well enough .most of us are too busy in our fast paced day to day routines that we don’t even take time out to think about where we are heading .

It’s more like reacting to the situations rather than being in control of them. To be proactive, taking control, making the most out of the resources, arranging for what is lacking and achieving the smaller achievable targets are the essential ingredients to success.

 

We have to slow down at times to plan out and manage our lives. Set our priorities and evaluate our past experiences to eliminate the wastage of resources and energy.

 

“The size of your success is measured by the strength of your desire; the size of your dream; and how you handle disappointment along the way” Robert kiyosaki

Entrepreneurship creates riches!

Employees are resource-oriented. Entrepreneurs are opportunity-oriented.-
 

A person with an employee mindset might say, “I would start my own business but I don’t have the money.” The person focuses on their resources, in this case their lack of money, rather than the opportunity.

In a similar situation, a person with an entrepreneur’s mindset might say, “Let’s start the business and we can finance the business from the cash flow.” Or “Tie up the property and we’ll find the money later.”

Kiyosaki’s rich dad said, “If you do not have resources, you need to become resourceful.” Poor people say ‘I can’t afford it.’ That’s why they’re poor’. According to kiyosaki, when we say I can’t afford it, we just shut our brains to the opportunity, instead we should ask “how can I afford it”

Employees prefer to manage via hierarchical structures. Entrepreneurs manage via networks, utilizing the resources of other people and organizations.-

This means that employee-type leaders would rather hire people and bring their talent “in-house.” Rather than have an outside firm do their creative work, an employee-type leader would prefer to hire the talent and have them under their control. This is because employees gravitate to a leadership style that is more suited to a military command-and-control type of organization.

Instead of the military’s command-and-control leadership style, his Rich Dad used a more cooperative and collaborative style of leadership. He encouraged his son and Robert to learn to lead and manage people who are not required to follow our orders. Rather than hire people and bring them in-house, rich dad networked with other people and organizations, which tended to reduce his costs and at the same time increase his resources and influence in the marketplace.

Today, The Rich Dad Company follows rich dad’s advice. Instead of becoming a stand-alone publishing house, they choose to cooperate via a joint venture agreement with The Time Warner Book Group, as well as licensed publishers around the world who offer their books in 43 languages. In this way, they keep the core staff small, yet utilize the thousands of employees of publishers around the world.

But Robert Kiyosaki Says that leveraging the assets and resources of partners is not enough. It’s important to choose the right partners-ones who are aligned with your goals and values. Choosing the right partners can make the difference between success and failure-as I’ve learned the hard way.

In doing so, Rich Dad Company-as entrepreneurs-stay small, yet increase market share by cooperating rather than competing… by networking rather than hiring employees and bringing work “in-house.”

These were some basic differences in the mindset of employees and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurship comes from the confidence to organize and take risks. Financial education is what builds up this confidence

Entreprenuership continued…

I will continue with the lessons kiyosaki learned on his jouney to be an entreprenuer. Small but powerful factors which can change the way we think about businesses .
Lesson 6: The Best Answers Are Found in Your Heart … Not Your Head
Make it your company’s mission to work for others, not just itself. Working towards a mission that goes beyond simply making money will ensure the best quality of work and greater likelihood of success. “If it had been just about the money, there are easier things the three of us [himself, wife Kim, and Sharon Lecter, the founders of The Rich Dad Company] could have done,” he says.
Lesson 7: The Scope of the Mission Determines the Product
While designing your business, determine how big you want it to be. Deciding whether you want to own a small business or a big corporation will set the stage for how you produce and market your product.
Lesson 8: Design a Business That Can Do Something That No Other Business Can Do
“Simply put, focus all your efforts on your core strength, your unique product,” Kiyosaki writes. Kiyosaki uses Domino’s Pizza as an example of a business designed around a unique tactical advantage: offering a pizza in 30 minutes or less. By offering something no other pizza vendor did, Domino’s immediately began taking market share from its competitors.
Lesson 9: Don’t Fight for the Bargain Basement
“Ultimately, the most important job of an entrepreneur is to be first in the mind of your customers,” Kiyosaki writes. While almost everyone knows that Lindbergh was the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic, almost no one remembers who flew second. Market your product as No. 1. “If you are not first in your category, then invent a new category you can be the first in.”
Lesson 10: Know When to Quit
Sometimes it is best to cut your losses. Not everyone should be an entrepreneur, and only those who love it and accept it as an educational process should do so. Understand that becoming an entrepreneur is a process that involves failing. Certainly, Kiyosaki’s mission in writing this book is to prevent others from making all the same mistakes he did, but there will be times when quitting will seem like the easiest and best thing to do.

Entreprenuership!

Entreprenuership is something which comes from logical thinking, analyasing, and taking decisions. Anyone can be an entrepreneur, according to Robert Kiyosaki, author of ‘Rich Dad’s Before You Quit Your Job: 10 Real-Life Lessons Every Entrepreneur Should Know About Building a Multimillion-Dollar Business’ (Warner Business).
Given that Kiyosaki believes that everyone has the potential to create a thriving organization, it may seem ironic that one of the major motifs of his book is ‘failure.’ Failure, however, is part and parcel to becoming a successful entrepreneur, (”Humans are designed to learn by making mistakes,” he writes) and only those willing to risk failure should attempt to create their own industries.
 To help determine whether you should try to become an entrepreneur, he offers a few lessons he learned on his journey to becoming one himself:
 

Lesson 1: A Successful Business Is Created Before There Is a Business
All too often, new entrepreneurs get so excited about a new product or opportunity that they forget to invest the time designing the operation around the product or opportunity. Before you quit your job, study the lives of industrialists and the different types of companies they created, Kiyosaki advises. Better yet, keep your daytime job while starting a part-time business — for the experience. “Not only will you learn about business, you will learn a lot about yourself,” he says.
 
Lesson 2: Learn How to Turn Bad Luck Into Good Luck
Rather than wallowing in the anger or sadness of making a mistake, take the opportunity to learn something new from that mistake and turn a bad experience into a good one.
 


Lesson 3: Know the Difference Between Your Job and Your Work
Work is what you do to prepare for your job, and doesn’t necessarily mean getting paid. “Do your homework,” Kiyosaki stresses repeatedly. Creating a lucrative enterprise entails five jobs: delivering a good product, knowing your legal rights, establishing a system, establishing communications and managing cash flow. If you aren’t qualified to do all of these jobs, be prepared to work until you are or hire others — such as an accountant and a lawyer — who are.
  Lesson 4: Success Reveals Your Failures
“Before quitting your job, know that your most important job is to develop yourself,” Kiyosaki says. A business that is initially booming is still inclined to fail if the company does not continue to develop. It’s not enough to cover every aspect of launching a business; you must constantly strengthen those elements in order to maintain the prosperity of that undertaking.
 Lesson 5: The Process Is More Important Than the Goal
If you approach a business venture as a learning experience, rather than a get-rich-quick scheme, it will be that much easier to bounce back from mistakes and achieve long-term success. “High expenses are an everyday challenge in business,” Kiyosaki says. Consult an experienced accountant before you begin to help you anticipate how much money you will need to both support production and cover additional expenses. If you’re not willing to face these challenges, you should not become an entrepreneur.

Leveraging to be RICH

When I think of how people make huge amounts of money the first thing that comes to my my mind is that they have the resources. Now even if they don’t they have the ability to creadte them .Leveraging is one of the ways to create resource .In Robert Kiyosaki’s book, “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, I learnt that one of the key ways to creation of wealth and to financial freedom is knowing how to use OPM - Other People’s Money and OPT - Other People’s time.  That is leveraging on other people’s time and money.

leverage-2.jpgThe rich have long known about this powerful concept and almost all have applied and used this principle in attaining their wealth. 
People like Jean Paul Getty, the first billionaire in America, as well as Donald Trump, Henry Ford, Robert Kiyosaki and almost every wealthy individual understood the power of leverage.
However, this should be a win win situation for the both ,do not get the wrong impression that we have to take advantage of other people’s time and money to reach our financial goal.  It is just an action of mutual benefit.
Metwork marketing, franchising are a few powerful tools to leverage on other people’s time and money.Banking, stock market and real estate are examples of those activities that take advantage of leveraging on other people’s money. By allowing other people to use your money, or by using someone else’s money, you share in the profits that are generated from these venture or activities.
Leverage creates a win-win situation for all.
In Robert Kiyosaki’s Cash Flow Quadrant, one of the difference between an ‘S’ (Self-employed), and a ‘B’ (Business Owner) is knowing and able to leverage on other people’s time and money.
 
A self-employed does not know and will not delegate.  They think no one else can do better than them and will try to handle everything all by themselves, which cuases them to stay small and working hard. They will be sweating their way to success.
On the other hand, a Business Owner will leverage on other people’s time and money to ramp up the business as quickly and efficiently as possible.  It is simply too hard and time consuming to attempt to create a business without leveraging the resources of other people, which includes not only money but also other people’s time and abilities.
This is a time when you have to be smart and efficient in your work , results matter, time matter . or you will be left out . Leveraging gives you an edge over the others.
“The only difference between a rich person and poor person is how they use their time” Robert Kiyosaki

Time counts!

 

I have been traveling for the past few days. On my trip I happened to visit one of my close friends who run a food processing plant. He makes good production volumes but still he has been running the same plant for the last ten years without any major increase in production capabilities. While discussing things between us, he told me that he could not get enough time to think of anything else. After spending a few hours with him, I could analyze that he was too involved in day to day activities, this left no time for him to plan out anything else. Being a manager should mean balancing or control but leaving some of the things to the people responsible for it, so that they can learn to take control as well as feel attached to the organization. Some basic management facts but make a lot of difference when applied effectively. Time is money and if you can manage to take some more time out with the same amount of work or do more in the same time, you should always try and do that.

Financial education is the kind of education which makes you a better manager whether you are at job, a business owner or a smart investor. And Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad series helps you be all that. We should try and learn from the best and not amateurs.

There is no tomorrow

A teacher teaches in a class of 50, the same course from the same textbook. All 50 students get the same time to work upon it, get the same question paper but their marks range from a few toppers to a few failures.   Given the same conditions, why is it, that some people can be successful while others cannot? I believe the difference lies within the desire for success. Not everyone is hungry for success. Some people are simply comfortable with what they have in life. Thus, there is no motivation for them to achieve any other things even when the conditions are perfect. Being in comfort zone will lead to the lack of enthusiasm and drive to achieve things. If we want to achieve something we will have to get out of our comfort zones and get going. Rich dad Kiyosaki says “what you do today will define your tomorrow.”

Attitude makes the riches

By nature, we all have a tendency to procrastinate things which demand our attention and like to be in our comfort zones. We like to flow along with life as it takes its course, very happy and contented with the way things are moving. This attitude is what prevents a person from doing something bigger and better. I strongly believe that an entrepreneur is always busy in the some corner of his mind thinking about his business or his ventures. He is never satisfied, wants to grow and be the best. He is a restless soul. One more thing that makes a person successful is flexibility of actions and that too without loosing the focus. Usually people always wait until it hurts badly before they take any actions to correct the situation. By that time, it is usually too late to do much. I always feel that prevention is always better than cure .Recovering from mistakes is important. It takes an open mind and a broader vision to do that.

 

Rich dad series by Robert Kiyosaki helps us to be successful in more than one way. It depends on an individual how to make the best use of that education and apply it.
