“Saying that he profits from his advice is like saying that Doctors profit from disease. Its true, but so what?”

This is so funny. In your analogy, you COULD have compared RK’s “advice” to the knowledge/ skills/ drugs that doctors dispense; and you could have compared the “disease” the doctors cure to the problem of “non-richness” that RK’s advice is meant to solve.

But no. For whatever reason, you think RK’s advice is NOT analogous to a doctor’s knowledge/ skills/ drugs; you think his advice is analogous to the disease.

Good one!

I don't care how he made his money, I made my money in Real Estate.

In less than 5 years, I increased my networth from zero to almost 10 times my annual income through real estate investing. And it was directly through the encouragement of Kiyosaki.

Everyone's entitled to earn a living. Saying that he profits from his advice is like saying that Doctors profit from disease. Its true, but so what?

Except he didn’t make his money in RE, he made it as a “motivational” speaker.

You say, “As Milton Keynes once said, ‘The art of investing is anticipating the anticipations of others!’.”

I think you mean John Maynard Keynes. See http://www.knowprose.com/node/12581. Scroll down a ways.
