Good Deal Bad Deal – Kim Finds Success the Hard Way

When Kim (Meyer) Kiyosaki left her home in Oregon and boldly moved to Hawaii to attend college, she had no idea that her move to an island paradise would transform her life in every way… and set the course for a future that would transform the lives of millions. Like many college freshmen, she planned to go to school, graduate, get a job, work, and begin the steady climb to the top of some corporate-ladder. She figured that college would be the ticket to a more secure life.

However, while working for a local business in Honolulu, Kim discovered that being an employee wasn’t her dream. It wasn’t getting her where she wanted to be, and she realized there had to be something more. That’s when Kim’s real education began.
It took several years (many of which were spent with her future husband, Robert) before Kim made her first investment in a tiny house in Portland, Oregon with $5,000 she didn’t have.

In fact, for a time, Kim and Robert were penniless, choosing to follow their dream of becoming financially-free and learn all they could about money, people and life. Rather than take jobs, they studied and worked to develop a company that would teach people what they themselves were learning.

Kim’s Portland investment netted her $25 per month in cash flow. It wasn’t much, even back then, but it was a start. And more importantly than the money, it represented freedom.

With a passion for educating women about money and business, Kim draws on a lifetime of business experience in her mission to teach and inspire financial education. She has used the international forum of the Rich Dad brand to showcase the startling statistics relating to women and money, and through her best-selling Rich Woman she encourages women to take control of their lives, start a business and live their dreams.

“The first deal is the hardest,”Kim says,“ My hand was shaking signing the papers. But once that $25 was rolling in, I was hooked. I knew I could do it again, I knew I could do it bigger.”
