Robert T Kiyosaki is a famous financial self-help author, businessman, and investor. He is largely known for his top seller Rich Dad Poor Dad. The overwhelming success of this work has led Kiyosaki to develop an industry of products based around the Rich Dad?theme.

His company Cash Flow Technologies, Inc now markets a line of Rich Dad games, childrens products, and a follow up to the original book. However there has been a severe backlash against the products that Robert Kiyosaki sells and the validity of his own financial wisdom.

After reading Rich Dad Poor Dad and some of Robert Kiyosakis articles on Yahoo finance, I began to see why there is such an outcry. Kiyosaki is guilty of several infractions in his published materials. In his writings on financial topics he has a tendency to present information in an ambiguous manner, contradict himself, and at times be simply wrong.

Robert Kiyosaki's financial advice and publications are not respected by professionals or those with a high degree of competency in the industry. As well, he has been accused of targeting his materials to grab the attention of folks that have a laymans understanding of real estate and investing. Moreover, he employs diversionary methods in his writing to gain credibility, such as providing definitions of off topic financial terms irrelevant to the subject at hand.

Surprisingly, many people support the work of Robert Kiyosaki, despite its?lack of merit, simply for the motivational factor. These people say that even though they gain no blueprint?for success they find that his books at least get them thinking about their financial situations.

Robert Kiyosaki himself has supported this approach to his materials, stating that his goal is to get people to think like the rich. However, Ive found that most people professed a desire for specific steps and methods to attaining wealth as apposed to lessons in perception.
