—sourcing goods like meat, buns, fries, drinks, napkins, straws, and more
                from all over the world, and then pulling it all together so that the average
                high-school-educated  employee  can  be  successful—you  will  have
                developed your Midas Touch. You’ll have made it to the B quadrant, a task

                few entrepreneurs ever achieve.

                Which Quadrant Is Best For You?
                You can find your Midas Touch in any of the quadrants. Many employees
                climb the corporate ladder to great success and self-satisfaction. The same
                is  true  in  the  S  quadrant.  Many  professionals  have  developed  very

                lucrative  law  practices,  medical  practices,  consultancies,  and  small
                businesses. Your job is to now focus on which quadrant is best for you.
                Which one will allow you to fulfill your dreams? If you are attracted to the
                B and I quadrants, then both of us have programs for you. Donald already
                has the mega-hit The Apprentice. It’s a crash course on the B-I Triangle
                and, if you win on that program, you have an opportunity to work for one

                of the greatest entrepreneurs of all time.

                Robert’s  organization,  The  Rich  Dad  Company,  is  in  the  process  of
                developing  an  ambitious  program  called  GEO,  which  stands  for  Global
                Entrepreneurs Organization. It will be a training program lasting one to
                three years for people who are serious about entrepreneurship and gaining
                the skills necessary to enter the B and I quadrants. In the first year you
                will  learn  how  to  build  a  business  in  the  S  quadrant.  In  year  two  or

                whenever you are ready, you will learn to expand your business in the B
                quadrant.  And  in  year  three  or  whenever  you  are  ready,  you  will  learn
                about the I quadrant. Obviously, Rich Dad’s GEO program will not be for
                everyone. It will be challenging and will require an investment of time and
                money,  just  as  you  would  expect  from  any  advanced  training  program.
                GEO will provide you the teachers, the tools, the training, and the tasks.
                What  you  do  with  them  is  up  to  you.  If  you  have  an  MBA,  then  you

                understand that your diploma does not automatically buy you a seat at the
                board table. You must earn it, just like you must earn the Midas Touch.
                There are no shortcuts and no guarantees of success.

                A Final Thought

                Everything of value in life must be earned. It was tough for Robert to get
                into Navy flight school. Statistics show that the Navy accepts only one out
