Day 57: Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Firstly, my brother's wife is due to have the twin girls early: tomorrow in fact, so I will be an uncle soon! It's all very exciting and I hope all goes well and will be sending my good thoughts to them all tomorrow.

I finally got a photo from the photo shoot so will upload that soon.

Today's quote is from Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert T. Kiyosaki with Sharon L. Lechter:

"The main management skills needed for success are:
1. The management of cash flow.
2. The management of systems (including yourself and time with family)
3. The management of people

The most important specialized skills are sales and understanding marketing. It is the ability to sell - therefore, to communicate to another human being, be it a customer, employee, boss, spouse or child - that is the base skill of personal success. It is communication skills such as writing, speaking and negotiating that are crucial to a life of success. It is a skill that I work on constantly, attending courses or buying educational tapes to expand my knowledge."
