142 I CHAPTER ELEVEN

                                               only limited by your creativity when you have control over your business or
                                               your real estate.
                                                   1. In business, I can hire and fire the management. Ifa stock or mutual
                                                      fund has a bad management team, all I would be able to do is sellthe
                                                      stock or fund and look for one with better management.

                                                   2. In business, I can change my business model. Right now, we at Rich
                                                      Dad are building three new divisions within our business. We are
                                                      building a business that caters directly to schools, a regional seminar
                                                      business and a franchise system that markets directly to consumers.

                                                   3. In business, we can create new brands. In addition to the Rich Dad
                                                      brand, we are creating two new brands. One brand is Rich Woman,
                                                      championed by Kim, my wife, and the other is Rich Family,
                                                      launched by Sharon Lechter, my partner.

                                                  As I said, the list goes on and on.

                                                  In reality,it requires both sides ofyour brain to be successful.It takes the
                                               combination ofthe left-brain (for the words and math skills) and the right-
                                               brain (for the creativity) to succeed.
                                                  Taking control and being creative requires financial education and
                                               experience. You may notice that Donald Trump is very creative and he has
                                               control- both ofwhich contribute to his success. Once you have control,
                                               get creative.

                                               Flashes

                                                  Robert's comments about control and creativity reminded me of
                                               something that may seem like one of those flashes he was talking
                                               about. In this case it's a memory flash, but I think it's worth
                                               mentioning. Earlier in this book Robert described his visits to my
