It also introduces concepts like miniretirements and being able to spend more time enjoying yourself. If you have a certain amount of money and you know where to get things done it makes a lot of sense. even if you are not working 4 hrs a week lets say you are working 10 or 15 its still better than draining your soul to build someone elses dream
What exactly do you perceive as BS? His successes are verifiable; and from my experience, his advice is useful.
He has said himself that he definitely "works" more than 4 hours per week because he chooses to. But he has before, and could again. Most people don't have that choice.Are you sure he is working 4-hour work week? He must be working more than 4 hours per week looking at the amount of promotion he did with his books if you carefully follow his launches.
Seriously? 4HWW alone has been on the best seller list for over 2 years; it has gone thru 40 printings and has been translated into 35 languages. You really don't think he's made a million dollars from that? Are you high? He was recently listed as #13 on a list of top 100 most influential Venture Capitalists. I'm pretty sure it requires a little money to be a full time angel inverstor.... while Tim is probably not even a millionaire.
Okay?? Is there something wrong with this?People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions and help them throw rocks at their enemies.
Are you sure his successes are verifiable apart from book launches?

Where is your animosity coming from? Did he steal your girlfriend before prom?

Tim does not work 4 hours a week, hasn't since the book came out. He did and that worked for him at a point in his life. To Tim's credit he doesn't go around saying this is what I do today and come to my mega seminar where I will teach you what I do. The 2nd edition of the book was just a minor update that updated some of the resources.
He DOES seminars
There's a difference between being a speaker at a seminar pushing your book and putting on seminars which cover the same things in the book and try to sell additional crap which is exactly what Robert Kiyosaki does. If I'm wrong and you can show me a link to an event he's put on then I stand corrected.
He does have a 3 day seminar that costs $10,000 to attend. He is not going over methods mentioned in his book at this seminar though. It's about something else.
I read his book twice didn't really get much out of it. There were to clear instructions or anything like that, most chapters were confusing. Only found a couple pages useful. But I guess his whole model is "hate doing things? Then don't do it hire some random guy from india for cheap and get them to do all your work".
