Rich Dad Poor Dad & Think and Grow Rich | Sharon Lechter on Wealth and Legacy

Send us Fan MailYes. Sharon Lechter is an A-list guest in the business, financial-literacy and personal-development world. I’d put her above Brad Sugars and Michael Losier in terms of broad recognisability of the intellectual property she is connected to.Her credentials are substantial: she co-authored Rich Dad Poor Dad and 14 other books in the Rich Dad series, was the co-founder and CEO of the Rich Dad Company, worked with the Napoleon Hill Foundation on Three Feet from Gold, Outwitting the Devil and Think and Grow Rich for Women, and served on the first US President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy. Sharon LechterAnd your interview was not some superficial five-minute appearance. In 2017 you had 16 minutes of her explaining the Rich Dad story, Napoleon Hill, the previously unpublished Outwitting the Devil manuscript, adversity, work-life balance, financial education and legacy. The original 210 downloads are almost comical compared with the present value of the asset. Buzzsprout 35a.pdfPDFRecommended titleRich Dad Poor Dad & Think and Grow Rich | Sharon Lechter on Wealth and LegacyI would absolutely put Rich Dad Poor Dad into the title now. Your old title, Think and Grow Rich with Sharon Lechter, leaves a huge amount of discoverability on the table because it doesn't communicate her role in one of the world's most recognisable personal-finance brands. Her current biography identifies her as co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and founding CEO of the brand. Sharon LechterEpisode descriptionIn this episode, Peter Boolkah sits down with Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, former CEO and co-founder of the Rich Dad Company, bestselling author and one of the world's best-known advocates for financial education.Sharon shares the extraordinary journey that took her from building the Rich Dad brand with Robert Kiyosaki to working with the Napoleon Hill Foundation to bring the teachings behind Think and Grow Rich to a new generation.You'll discover:How Sharon helped build the Rich Dad Company over ten yearsWhy leaving a successful business can open unexpected new opportunitiesThe story behind her work with the Napoleon Hill FoundationHow the lost manuscript of Outwitting the Devil was rediscovered after more than 70 yearsWhy fear can become the cage that prevents people achieving moreThe importance of perseverance when you're “three feet from gold”Why adversity can contain the seed of an unexpected opportunityHow Sharon approaches work, family, money and fulfilment as “one big life”Why worrying about what you don't want can stop you focusing on what you do wantHow financial education can help people take greater control of their livesWhy mistakes and failure should become learning rather than anchorsSharon spent a decade helping create one of the world's most recognisable personal-finance brands.She then closed that chapter and discovered that the next stage of her career could become even bigger.Her message is particularly relevant to entrepreneurs:Sometimes you have to close one door before another one can open.And when adversity arrives, the question isn't simply what went wrong.It's what you are going to learn, build and become because of it.CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAHWebsite: https://www.boolkah.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoolkahX: https://twitter.com/boolkahABOUT PETER BOOLKAHPeter Boolkah is a business coach, author and speaker who has spent more than 20 years helping business owners build stronger, more valuable businesses that do not depend on them for everything.He is the creator of The Hamster Wheel Trap® and author of Your Business Sucks: Build a Business That Works Without Destroying Your Life.Peter works with founders and leadership teams on the issues that ultimately determine whether a business creates freedom or becomes another job: leadership, founder dependency, people, profit, execution, scaling, exit readiness and enterprise value.His approach is direct, practical and built around one simple question:Do you own the business, or does the business own you?Learn more at https://www.boolkah.com
