Starting a business is like jumping out of an airplane without a parachute. In mid air, the entrepreneur begins building a parachute and hopes it opens before hitting the ground.

In most cases, when people make more money, they get deeper in debt. This is why money alone does not make you rich.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Having more money doesn't necessarily lead to true wealth; financial management is key.
This quote by Robert Kiyosaki highlights the misconception that simply earning more money equates to being wealthy. It emphasizes that without proper financial management and understanding of wealth, individuals may find themselves deeper in debt despite higher incomes, suggesting that true richness comes from financial intelligence and responsibility rather than merely the amount of money earned.

Wealth is in applications of mind to nature; and the art of getting rich consists not in industry, much less in saving, but in a better order, in timeliness, in being at the right spot.

Do you see the consequences of the way we have chosen to think about success? Because we so profoundly personalize success, we miss opportunities to lift others onto the top rung...We are too much in awe of those who succeed and far too dismissive of those who fail. And most of all, we become much too passive. We overlook just how large a role we all play—and by “we” I mean society—in determining who makes it and who doesn’t.
